A 1999 re-release of Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness, and its expansion pack, Beyond the Dark Portal, classic RTS games centered around battles between orcs and humans, with a good campaign and great multiplayer, both enhanced in the Battle.net Edition re-release. Plenty of cool magic and weaponry to keep people entertained for hours and cheap to buy since it's old. Unfortunately the game does not work on Windows Vista and its LAN can be messed up by multiple network interfaces. Predecessor is Warcraft 1, spiritual successor is Starcraft and sequels are Warcraft 3 and WoW.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.
A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
