I love it when I pick up a cat, and it says "MINERAL FIELD DEPLETED"... but yes, I often hear the probe sound as Meow.

Re:the last few minutes, Corsairs deal Explosive damage which is only 50% effective against Mutalisks because they are considered Small.

Artanis is such a himbo for this entire campaign. "Uhhh, I don't really understand what's going on, but I just want us all to be friends so we can punch bad guys :("

Dude, always give your health priority, you don't need to apologize for having a hurt back, jeez, you're too nice, stop being too nice :O

Rewatched the vod just in case I was wrong and was attacking overlords or something. I was not. There is some weird bug going on. If anybody has any ideas I would love to hear them!

When I was a kid I used to mindcontrol the drone and play this mission as a zerg😆

You see, it all makes sense. Raszagal wasn't being manipulated by Kerrigan, she was just going sensile in her old age. That's why Zeratul became dumb in SC2; his age finally caught up to him in the last 4 years after succeeding Raszagal.

Zeratul realizing that this entire thing is scuffed, and looking for somewhere to post his resume, *Indeed*

8:52 Thank you, now i cant unhear it. Time for someone to make art of Probe with cat ears.

I just played this recently, actually. A few interesting things about the Mass Recall version. The biggest change directly addresses your initial point. If you kill everything on the map and then activate the temple, then it immediately activates, skipping the timed defense segment completely. So that's interesting. It also glitched out HARD on me and looped the score screen at the end of the mission repeatedly. I had to quit to the menu to stop it. Still registered as me having beaten it (whew), but I had a solid chuckle because of that. Another funny thing is that the supply limit is glitched. I used to enjoy mind controlling a drone and using a zerg army (mutas, because obviously) to beat the mission. So I decided to do the same in Mass Recall. But the supply limit doesn't track Zerg units separately, like it always has. It's just a max of 200 supply, irrespective of Protoss or Zerg units. Pylons and overlords both increase your supply. But to address the corsair damage issue... I hadn't noticed in my playthrough of Mass Recall, but I never really used corsairs. Does it do reduced damaged to light or medium units, and the muta just happens to fit that description? I'm sorry, I don't have my PC in front of me to look myself, but might be worth checking. :/ Also, depending on how true you want to be with the original game, you can activate the alternate heroes option in the main menu, which gives you Raszagal here. She isn't terrible, with shield/HP comparable to Zeratul, but she has a ranged attack and a few weird abilities. You also don't need to bring her to the temple, so you can use her for the timed segment (if you play it). Don't know how much of a liability that would be for you, though. Also... Take as much time as you need for releasing videos, Grant. Don't rush for our sake. Have fun with the process. It's better for you, and it makes the videos enjoyable. Take care of yourself. Peace. :)

In addition to corsair damage being wonky, I discovered that air upgrades for the scout's anti air attack only increase damage against Large units, not medium or small, so scouts are even worse than normal against mutas.

The issue with Corsairs is that in Mass Recall armor is applied before damage reduction from size/damage type. So the Sair vs Mutalisk matchup is way worse in Mass Recall than in regular BW.

Back when I was a kid playing this mission, and even afterwards whenever I would play this mission, I would get a drone with a dark archon and max out both protos and zerg with full sunken spore photon. Still, somehow, the zerd would always do serious damage to me over the course of this over one hour long mission. One of my favourite

Never ever in my life have I payed attention to the sound the probe makes. But now I can definitely hear the probe meowing and it makes me laugh hysterically. Thank you, Grant. You've made my life this much brighter today.

Corsairs do Explosive damage (50% to small units, like Mutalisks). Mass Recall appears to have not implemented the SC1 armor calculation, leading to much lower damage. In SC1, the damage multiplier is applied after armor, whereas in SC2, the damage change is applied to the base damage. As such, your 3/3 Corsairs (8 base damage), when targeting 3/3 Mutalisks (3 armor), only deal 1 damage per attack, instead of the 2.5 that they should.

Just in case it's relevant, Grant, if you clear the map, the 15 min defence segment is skipped entirely. So it's time to see carriers arrive en masse.

When I played this level originally, I slugged my way around the entire map clockwise with a deathball of maxed carriers, guardians, and mutas. I didn't know that the bases were going to attack and had assumed they would be some kind of scripted reinforcements.

I have never NOT heard the probe as a robotic "meow". Every single time for the past 15 years. Also, for reference, it took 2:58 from the last creep producting structure until the Nexus could be built. In SC1, that time was 4:28.

Starcraft wiki: Zeratul is 641 years old. *Zeratul in StarCraft: "Matriarch, I have served you for many millennia"* StarCraft Lorekeepers: "A lie. Take it out."

The probe "Meow" is one of the reasons protoss became my favourite race in StarCraft

I remember my strategy for this mission was to clear to the temple then construct approximately 7000 photon cannons with some scouts to take out guardians.

2:35 I just realiced, that the Uraj was the Dark Templar power-cristal and Artanis said that he will take kare of it. The cristal with the Templar power was actually handeled by Zeratul. (sorry for my bad english)

Mass recall has been so over-developed in some ways, it definitely has weird quirkiness in it

Grant, I don't know if you read my comments, but I just want to say I look forward to your videos everyday! I know you have a hard time with your work-life balance, but I just want to say we all love your content! I've been waiting for this video and reloading youtube for 3 days now. Hope your back get's better!

This temple shows up in co-op too, and the mission is called Temple of Unification, which while it might not be the name at all, it would make sense, since you have to "unite" the dark and bright energies to activate it.

Hi Grant, Corsairs are not supposed to be anti small. In Broodwar at lest they do explosive damage (anti big), and they do 5 damage. They should do 2 damage to +3 armor mutas while being +2 themselves ( its (5+2-3)/2 = 2). My guess is that that muta took 2 damage and instantly healed 1 hp so it seemed that only 1 damage was dealt. Another option is that Mass Recall computes the uppgrade different by substracting by armor type first (5/2 -3 + 2 = 1.5), which would be way worse for the Corsair. In any case, Corsair only counters mutalisks if they have similar numbers or uppgrade advantage, or if the zerg just clumped all his mutalisk like they used to do vs terran.

Mandatory comment saying I love this playthrough and thank you so much for all the content you provide. (Remember Grant, "There is no shame in defeat so long as the spirit is unconquered" :D )

All I can hear when he goes “where is my nexus” is Artosis yelling “IT DIDN’T MAKE!!”

Corsairs deal explosive dmg I think, so thats what 7/2 3.5-3 armour so .5 per hit

This is gonna be the most pedantic comment ever but, Grant, it's a "Kakaru" not a "Korakoo" 😄

Karax: You senile fool! Zeratul: Indeeeeeeeeeed.

I love this mission. In the original game I think I once did the challenge and wiped the whole map clean with carriers. In the end I mined the whole map and it took me 3 hours.. The zerg are relentless on this map.

After one hour of trying this mission I decided that 9yo me was wise, just mass carriers And clearing the map before activating the temple put me in an infinite loop of ending cutscenes. Weird bug there.

I think I figured out what kind of streamers/youtubers I like, the nice ones like you. Take care of yourself!

The year is 2029... Starcraft 3 has been released... the first mission as the Protoss has us returning to Shakuras... to the Temple of Ofromromjuugaball.

If your back hearts you you shoud take2-3 off

I think the reason Zeratul sounds skeptical when he says, "Indeed" is right there between the lines. He's spoken before about her gentle nature, and here again he says he values her wisdom and strength, even though there is something clouding her true spirit. When her response is, "my warrior spirit shall shine before you, and light your path to victory" it's a failure on her part/Kerrigan's part to recognize the meaning of Zeratul's words, and he's essentially agreeing that he's seeing a warrior spirit... which he thinks is different to her true spirit.

You can hear a lot of things in the quotes in starcraft 1. The dark templar says "Soviet" (so be it) and the probe goes "meow" (meow).

Temple of Romjubagal is a great name make it so blizzard

IIRC correctly from messing with a unit editor, Corsairs power was mainly from it's splash damage vs stacked mutas. The main hits were weak, but it did something insane like 100 splash damage for stuff directly on top of the target. AI not using micro tricks like a player combined with Mass Recall probably adding additional issues is the likely cause.

Hi, Grant. Wish you good health. For this mission 200 supply is hardly enough. How about another 200? You can mind control a drone when clearing the first base. Also zerg static defence is better. You can build zerg defences and production near the temple. For air defence you would have scourge and devourer. Devourers can melt any armor and make corsairs very very good. Lurkers can easily kill zerglings even when they can be seen. This is the only mission worthy of the zergtoss strategy. Please give us that show. Thanks for the entertaining contents.

Comment before viewing the video: Grant! You back! Hope you are doing better!

You're most definitely not a coward if you decide to clear everything. The Zerg bases in this mission are stupidly hard to crack.

6:12 For some reason, after you said "Easy Peasy" I heard Zeratul's voice say "Lemon Squeezy" in his typical slightly stilted delivery in my head!

Woohoo it’s back!

Nice! I caught it :D

That new interaction for armor and size explains also why zealots and zerglings seem so ridiculously OP in Mass Recall and why GGG keeps being forced to go archon. Archons are the only Protoss unit that does splash without doing explosive damage. The way Mass Recall calculates things, it seems that once a unit gets all its armor upgrades, you can't afford to do reduced damage to it.

I was waiting for you to realize how not good the corsair was compared to the muta, the muta is still absolutely bonkers

I remember doing this mission by grabbing a drone with a Dark Archon at the first Zerg base and building a full Zerg Army.

Lol, Grant didn't prepare for the cloaked units

Hope your feeling better GGg!

Hey grant, i have not reached this video yet but i wonder if you know that hovering your cursor over a unit wireframe can reveal their backstories, they're really interesting to read

I remember cheesing this mission by building a hundred photon cannons around the temple.

I always though the probe meows when i was a child :D

Yesssss MOAR

You didn't know? Corsairs Are only effecient against overlords.

Can we appreciate how tanky SC1 zealots are?

When I played this map, I mind controlled a drone and made* zerg lol.

Brood War has such brutal Missions compared to the bast game or SC2.. this is one of many hard ones :D

RIP Shakuras.

Oh man. I'm recovering from a back injury right now. I got to catch up on a lot of your videos during that time.

Maybe the one damage increments were the splash damage from a corsair attack on another muta? When you had the muta selected it looked like the health was jumping down in increments of 4 and 1. 4 makes sense because corsair attack 7 - 3 is 4, with the 1 the splash from an attack on a neighboring muta.

When I played Mass Recall and heard the probe meow I was giddy for like an hour, because I'd forgotten they said that. I loved every moment of it. XD No Razhagal in this mission? :O I always liked how the MR team added her in, because it really solidified her as both warrior and leader. But then again, it's probably good the zombie girl isn't at the head of the zombie apocalypse. XD You'd've thunk that the Kerrigan parasite would've died during this blast and freed Razhagal. It never really made sense how Protoss can't be infested except for Razhagal. If Kerrigan did figure out psionic dominance, I feel like that should've come up a LOT more as a threat. Especially in Wings when she'd had 4 years to improve upon it. :/

Definitely meow. Also, your corsairs were hitting the overlords instead of/alongside the mutas, so they soaked up a lot of damage.

hope you feel better grant :(

My favorite thing to do as a kid was stroll into the red base, kill them, mind control a drone, and proceed to destroy the rest of the Zerg with my own Zerg. I basically RPed Kerrigan lol

Yeah, probes were always robo cats for me too grant

hey grant! i was wondering if you will ever do a warcraft 2 deathless or a wc3 repooped wc2 mod deathless campaign? keep up the amazingly fun videos! .

I enjoy this mission :P

No one Not even a single zerg or Terran Probes : MEOOOWWWW

"i had like 8 of them" correct me if im wrong, but wasnt it was more like six and you lost half of them to spores and hydralisks when you decided that disruption web wasnt good, had them going up against a large number of mutas, and while traditionally splash units are good against any non burst damage unit (which mutas are not)... that is only ever true once they hit *critical mass* , and considering how VERY BUGGED the damage of the corsairs were that critical mass appears to be around **40 - 60** corsairs perhaps this mod requires some patching, or did you always need 40 - 60 corsairs for them to be an effective counter? its been a while since i played brood war....

You prob shoulda done some static defences to help with the defence and do go with the cheese on cleaning the map before the main

I just want you to know that whenever I see a defense mission that you can cheese and then just wait out the timer with no resistance, I now hear "but there are some who can" in my head.

Well, Grant, it's not a XelNaga temple, its the XelNaga Temple.

Mind control a drone. Make Zerg Anti-air. Win.

not sure if its been said yet but corsair with +2 attack does 3.5dmg to small and mut muts are small in mass recall

Have you SEEN those Xel-Naga?! We know what the name must be. There's only one thing it could be. R'lyeh

you need to scout a little bit. you got free real estate at far east corner.i usually turtle on the up side and develop only the down base.get a huge army and go for the objective

Why did zerg not immidlitly destroyed the temple when Prottos started attacking them?

Dragoons in SC1 say "Fuck you" when they die

For some reason i remember the Corsair to do splash damage with its attack. Am i blind or is that missing too? Also i would love to see the old SC I models being used insteat of the SC II models. That would bring back more of the old feelings than just the missions itself.

I hope you replay Mass Recall on Endgame difficulty with all the secret mission

L O L Grant build anti air. This guy's so easy to manipulate!!! Watch your back! You only have one... Beleave me. :(

hey, it's nice to see that the campaign is actually hard! the zerg really felt like zerg here; they never let up. the last mission _should_ be hard, no? i'm happy we saw it kick the all-mighty GG's ass his first try so that when he overcomes it, it will be glorious!

Maybe its just me but the fact that they don't name it keeps it more 'alien', like its something else that they don't have authority over.

Get a dark archon and get a drone. Also I don't get why people complain when you can't complete a mission. If your back hurts, your back hurts, end of story. Health first

Man, I'll admit, you're way better at SC than me by a mile. But even so, it always makes my heart ache a little bit whenever you start teching everything up like mad with 4 ground-only units and a mission-critical hero unit to defend 2 bases XD. You play aggressively like you're playing against humans who are starting from the same place as you rather than against a heavily-entrenched enemy with endless resources and stacks of air units just behind the fog of war lmao. Like I said, I can tell you'd own me in 1v1, and you clearly know what you're doing, but still lol.

Millenia? Do the Protoss not die of old age?

Take some more days off m8, get well a bit. Considering some of the other insane challenges you've managed, I'm sure you could win that dig video if you wait until you're healthy

How could Zeratul have served her for "many millenia" if he is *only* about 650 years old at this point?

Uraj and Khalis weren't that big of a crystal, Why couldn't you just carry both Artanis? Do you seriously only have room for one in your scout?

Random comment for channel interaction.

For some reason in Mass Recall Corsair damage is bugged they do like negative damage, in my playthrough I found that Overlord passive regen could counter the corsair's damage its really weird.

Yeah you got conned, some units clearly aren't working as they're intended. And *PLEASE* stop being so allergic to static defenses! They're actually good in Mass Recall/SC1!

7-3 is 1 just like 4+3 is 5

21:48

It triggers my OCD when you say Karaku instead of Kakaru >_
