Warcraft II ranks

In Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and Warcraft II: Beyond the Dark Portal, ranks are titles given to the player at the end of the mission which indicates the player's score and how well they did in battle. Warcraft II uses a streamlined scoring system that reduces the chances of one player "padding" their score in a large multiplayer game. The key to achieving a high score is simply to cause as much damage as possible. Your total point score is based on the number and type of enemy units that you kill.

Players gain 500 points for winning a scenario; the rest of their score is derived from the type and number of enemy units they killed and enemy buildings they razed, as follows:

Note: A player is awarded 120 points for killing any of the Hero units introduced in Tides of Darkness, but the points awarded for killing Heroes introduced in Beyond the Dark Portal are the same as for the unit the Hero is based on (e.g. Danath is based on a Footman and thus worth 50 points). The exception is Dentarg, who is based on an Ogre-Mage, but worth only 100 points rather than 110.

• If a player uses cheat codes at any time during a single-player mission or scenario, their rank (regardless of whatever score they accumulated) at the end of the game will show up as Cheater!
• In Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, the orcs had the rank of "Raider" instead of Knight like currently in Warcraft II.
• On the victory screen, the player and enemy armies are always listed as the nation/clan assigned to the Team color used by the army in gameplay, regardless of whether or not they actually belong to it lorewise. For example, the Tomb Guardians in Tomb of Sargeras as listed as Kingdom of Lordaeron even though their army contains no Alliance units.
• In custom maps and multiplayer battles of Tides of Darkness, players and enemies would also be assigned these faction names based on color. However this was changed in the Beyond the Dark Portal expansion.
