9:35 Clearly the buff we need for Demolishers... "Bloodlusted Peons build and repair speed increased by 40%"

Catapult new, 1 second cool-down, toggle-able ability like footman "Defend": Untoggled: increased move speed / reduced projectile speed and damage Toggled: reduced move speed / increased projectile speed and damage (better for siege and siege breaking and more mobile in field battles at the cost of apm)

Catapults that hard counters dryads and does surrounds I never thought to type something like this

I´m so in love with this content. It´s like Grubby has a "What if"-Saga where he can experiment with really cool tweaks to the game! :D

manhandling the S tier dryads with a catapult, what a dream xD

9:46 For a moment I thought it was catapult souls that rises up. But it survived with its godspeed. A true hero of the battle

The fact that they can kite heroes now, those catas/demos, and can also hit them while moving, is really showing how much improvement they had went thru. For sure this is a joy for Orc player like you. Grubby

its so cool that blizzard actually listened to you and released this patch on live warcraft 3

They nuked those dryads like seige tanks lol aint no way

movement speed is clearly OP for demolishers. They're not so annoying if you know that you can just run towards them and kill them, but if they're fast.. man, kinda annoying to play against :D But proj speed is awesome. I would just make them easier to build and cheaper on food but weaker overall instead of the opposite - improving their effectivness. But yeah, i like that you can hit dryads now easier lol Backpack should be in the shop 100%. -10 sec to main building is almost irrelevant it felt like xd

This is interesting. Seeing more use of these slower moving siege weapons would be interesting. Like oh snap, these have a use for anti-unit now. But, maybe there's some important design to them only being good against buildings. Hmmmm... I like the experimentation though and it's super fun watching a ground army of grunts, shamans, and catapults run across a battlefield. Visually it's very cool.

3:00 "I dont believe in tier 1 expo without a tech" I will base my new religion around this

The red moon rises. Blood has been spilled this night.

I always found Great Hall being 11 Food hideous. I get the reason, but wouldn't be nicer to round it to 12, up to update the Burrows accordingly? Something like this: - Great Halls now give 12 Food. - Burrows only give 8 Food. Cost is reduced to 120 Gold and 30 Wood (from 160 and 40). Construction time is reduced to 40 seconds (from 50). HP is reduced to 450 (from 600). To be fair, I have no idea of the long term repercussions of such changes.

Still waiting for Grubby to show us the new Priestess of the Moon with a dash. Demolishers were fun to watch, but maybe slightly too strong? Projectile speed seems fine, but movement speed buff might be a little too big

How about these Demos, but with no movement buff and instead an HP buff. 425 HP -> 525/550 HP. It would make them retain their weakness, and kind of their defining feature, of being slow and unwieldy, but at least then they can sponge more damage and not die so easily from a battle or a chase. Demos and other siege weapons needing to be repaired, costing a worker and resources, also means HP buffs won't be as strong on them as on other units, so the issue of them being "too OP" won't really pop up outside of crazy numbers (like 1K or something).

I don't know about balance or nothing, but that PurgePult combo looked really satisfying. It feels very Orc.

Mg's taunt should really be just like axe's call

+40% to demos speed when there is workers or grunts in close range-like small aura from workers/Grunts thats works only on demos. They helping to push Catas :D

People sleep on siege units. They have greater range, so when you mass them, they destroy everything. My friends and I would do this rush to mass mortars in AT, and it was absolutely hilarious fast you cut through everything on the ground. Watching heroes get downed in a second from a huge wage of siege is great. You get siege before air usually, too.

I wonder if Demolisher increased speed should be an upgrade? The increased projectile speed without the increased movement speed would make them a decent defensive option, but if you wanted them to move faster so as to go on the offense with them (Gruntapult, etc.), it would be additional investment (although it should be available at Tier 2 so that you can use it for stuff like Gruntapult if you put in the investment)..

These new Demolishers are insane!!1 🤯🎉

as someone with experience in map making i'd suggest to increase the repair time (yes that is a stat for units & buildings) for the demolisher, with that change it would be harder to repair mid combat and they wouldnt feel so op when paired with peons. as an enemy player you would then also not be easily punished by trying to focus them down. the projectile speed increase is really good, but maybe tie it to an t3 upgrade? it felt like they were a little too strong too early and that snowballed out of control. also i would reduce the movement speed again making maps like this is pretty easy and quickly done, if you ever need someone else to "Patch" a map for you, feel free to hit me up :D (i could also add the jump/dash to your priestess if you really feel like its good idea, coding custom abilities was my main thing back in 2008 until 2018)

LOL @ the video thumbnail

You should be able to pickup peons with a demo and carry them around so they can repair while in the demo lol.

Grubby " Make Orc Great Again "

Blizzard did WHAT?! Still waiting for a match where we can see a PotM first huntress/archer old style NE game.

Hello. what do you think about NE tech tree? I just have feeling that its encoruage them to build only one or 2 units in mass and choose between Lore or wind (2 tier) and not Lore and wind.

I still want to see you play a full PotM game, with her buffs.

These demolishers so op (didn't watch the video still)

1st wc3 strategy I learned... gruntapult

Spiders can now slowly move while burrowed

While not in any way broken I do feel like if they're gonna attack so fast the splash damage needs to be lower, otherwise casters just get eaten alive since you can't just avoid the incoming projectile. Those poor Dryads.

I wanna to see the priestess of the moooooooooon 😭

I think cata, galiws,wagon should have some penalty for these changes, for example: get all these buffs that u implanted when you put 1-2 worker/s in it, so now they dont cost 4 food then 5-6 if u wana that buffs and if cata is destroyed workers die to. And 1 more idea for them... All mentioned mechanicls can use repair when u have worker in it, if u use it, cata,glaive,wagon can not attack nor move while repaing and has a long cooldown for it... What do you think about that idea?

I think projectile speed might be fair. Movement speed no way bro lol.

I personally like the prospect of siege units being viable in WC3!

What about Necrowagons (necros riding wagons like archers ride hippogryph), could cast all their spells, maybe gain some slight bonus to mana regen, or mana cost of skellies, or ability to summon warrior + mage + archer, or basic undead hp regen and ability to be healed by coil. And why taunt of Mountain Giants could not work like in mobas (forced taunt for few seconds), was it ever tried in WC3?

Can you please review the potm leap?? Yall never show it lol

Grubby, how about Alchemist(6) Sylvana(6) that escape to an island by air (can't remember the name of the map) and just troll/wait until the opponent resigns by quitting even tho he has the whole map.

w8 for BL catas on next grubby patch.

Raider Demolishers? LOL

🎉🎉

Burrows with 4 peons now become phalanxes that move?

If you to choose, this demolishers or a 15 sec faster expo?

We need Lyn happy series to be uploaded grubby and mr editor 🙏🏼🙏🏼

You forget mortar teams :) The 4 siege units are almost the same.

This is very nice, thats what demolishers should be, not a slow sieging unit, like, actually fast and hit and run style, combine that with some grunts and raiders, they will be practically untouchable. and then u just keep hit and running and caiting. very nice patch, but i felt like "bulwark" didnt do much, did it?

There's no link to patch in description

The projectile feels a little too fast. Perhaps there's a good middle ground?

While we are at it, Workers should be able to build them anywhere on the map

anybody gets music when on full screen, even if paused. Is it a youtube problem

That guy give u so much free xp

catapults should be more volnureble - served as high damage but without support weak

0:19 -- "Check out the description if you wanna see more!" ... Literally *NOTHING* topic-related in the video description... -_- .

I tho doctor snakes were for huntresses not archers

Wouldn't it be better if you had also rushed pillage ?

Make Gruntapult great again.

as a viewer i want all units would be participating in a game, more or less rarely it's fine, but current state of catapults, wagons etc = sucks >_

Don't Catapaults also get owned by Air, they literally can't do anything vs. Air. Even with the faster MS, staying under 50 with Catapaults vs. somebody who starts air is an interesting idea

Is it a real patch ?

Orc playstyle gonna be the aggresive colonization. Takeover someone elses base, mid game closer niche.

Range is good but speed is way too fast. Catapult shouldnt outrun most units lol. Especially with such a long and fast projectile. The ideal should be 2 cataputs along with other units no? Make 3, loose one. Maybe make them more population?

cata too fast, but projectile speed is good

Can't believe blizzard did this 🔥🔥🔥

I want to start a fund raiser to create a game with Grubby. I am not only an avid player; I am also a software dev and architect and I hold a Ph.D. in Physics as well. I will happily lead the development efforts. What you say, Grub?

The picture is not sharp

Blizzard did what!!!! This patch is crazy!!!!!

so... what's the plan here? are you going to keep giving instructions to the mappers and they will keep patching the game and we will have a new series called "fantasy patch" series? sounds good to me, if the mappers have a lot of free time and they do this for free than everything's aight the potencial problem with this is that if u get used to this than it's going to be less tempting to play melee and u will instead want to play these altered melees, you'll go from dream patch (everything u wanted) to reality (melee maps where all the good stuff is missing) i really like this tho cuz via custom maps u can test if your ideas would benefit the game i feel like blizzard knows what they're doing with the patches, units should be balanced and not too good, demolishers being faster seems too op in the hands of good players, they need to be slow, u can make them faster but then also weaker i feel like we don't really need to balance the existing races anymore, instead we need new races catapults being fast and strong = no weakness, imba, there's a reason why catapults are slow in warcraft, it's cuz they have high damage, u need to be able to dodge them otherwise they too op, it's a good thing that blizzard won't implement this type of patch
