Hello everyone,

a few weeks ago, i read anywhere some "Did you know..."-facts about Warcraft 2. Especially one of them was very interesting. It said something like the following:
Until just before Warcraft 2 was released, it should have been possible to capture enemy catapults/ballistas. Allegedly they were guided by another unit which was possible to be killed. After this unit was dead, you should be able to take over the catapult. This fact also was indicated in the human cutscene, were the soldier sneaks behind the orcish grunt, kills him and destroys the zeppelin.

My question is rather simple: Where did i read that?

I can't stop thinking about it and it bothers my mind. But i can't find the page...

Can someone help me?

Yours sincerely,

Mindflayer

interesting, there is a warcraft 2 video where:

a wounded human walks to the back of the grunt and kill him from behind,
then he captures the catapult and use it to destroy a goblin zeppelin

look this video at time 0:25 sec

This one has also been remade in the WC3 ending cinematic.
They have lots of stuff, like "History of Warcraft" in there.
