Can't wait for the Purifiers to awaken the Daeelam on Cybros

Keeping the faction you made for future mods sounds so interesting. Imagine having fun with all the OP stuff and realizing you're gonna be on the receiving end next mod.

so as a chinese speaker myself I think I can help with some of the translations and weird wordings: 3:07 Whistle Machine can be roughly translated to "哨机"，which is a name for the Sentry unit in Chinese ("哨兵"). 6:06 pay attention to the prism here - they shoot out a beam that reconstructed the husk. Grant did not show the unit's name, but I think it has the same ability as the Whistle Machine. 8:06 the probe's name "Exploration" is because the probe's CN name is called "探机", while "探" has the meaning of exploring (which make the probe's CN name "exploring machine") 8:23 the CN text for "warp" is "折跃", and as "跃" is translated "jump"... yeah. also, judging by later context, I think my guess about "Whistle Machine" is correct. 15:12 Drive Core Node... this is a bit puzzling for me at first as there is no real context. but I will take a wild guess of "驱动节点", which would be translated to basically that. 15:35 Think Tank Director. Think Tank is an actual word, and it's CN translate "智库" is also the name for the Librarians for 40K series. I suppose we can try to understand it in this manner and maybe it's the High Templar replacement. 19:07 it's interesting that the Scout unit is NOT promoted. They might as well be an actual scout - go in, finds danger, phase and go out. 22:09 it seems that all purifier units has a built in 25% Armor penetration (you can see it when you mouse over their attack), so heavier units may take a while, but is still beatable. Also, if the mod author thinks he can use better translation, I'm more than happy to help!

I really like how the pylons built by the player are Purifier themed, but the pylons from the "Deploy Pylon" ability are still Daelam themed, given that they come from the spear of Adun, which is Daelam technology.

The vigilant and legionnaire revive being tied to a whistle is genius. Like, I don’t think people will praise it as much as it deserves.

"well,whats our plan?" we nuke them,like we always do." -purifier tactical handbook for all purposes

Modmakers HATE attack/defense upgrade because you have to manually add the entries to your EVERY units in editor for each level, let alone adding the exact number for each units. HTXL prefer to utilize armor negation% and defaulted high armor status. Last time I remember, Mothership Core's overload is permanent addition upon structures, makes it the arguably the best defensive unit in purifier's arsenal. Some units like adepts cannot be synchronized, some units like stalkers aren't particularly powerful after synchronization... Grant never realized he could just use that nexus boost on unpowered gates in mission 3 instead of dropping pylon near it.

4:03 "I feel like Starcraft could use more melee stuff." Joke challenge idea: "Starcraft II: but everything is melee". Or, for additional memes: All melee is now ranged, all ranged is now melee.

idk if you noticed it but the revive also didn't revive an upgraded unit into it's upgraded form which is another really interesting balancing act because promotion costs gas and the only unit that Protoss has access to that doesn't cost gas is their canon fodder Zealot which means you're going to have to juggle between building efficient units and promoting inefficient units. This combined with the inability to get upgrades means that later on in the campaign an Immortal is going to be amazing but can you afford to build 20 Immortals and promote them really late into the mission and risk dying or do you stick with your affordable Elite Zealot/Stalker/Whistle force and risk getting stonewalled by the game throwing 12 Hybrid Behemoths at you that you can't overcome because you skimped out on building Immortals. This mod so far really has a lot of interesting potential

The whistles trigger my Halo 4 PTSD

The sole fact that probes/whistlers don't use supply is already something, that shows how much that modmaker (most of chinese modmakers let's be honest) cares about starcraft initial goal, which was said during protoss alpha gameplay video - "Starcraft 2 is a game, where large armies fight against large armies"

Grant: 1:00 Me: Cut!!! No Grant. The line is "I'm ready to purify!" Let's go again from the beginning. Aaaaaannnd ACTION!!!

Oh so we're playing Starcraft: Ghost today, I guess Grant is branching out into shooters.

Hey Grant, please dont give up. Those 2 mods are the bests...

Thank you so much for your content! Your videos were my first introduction to StarCraft and are one of my ways to decompress after long days at work. Keep up the great work!

This looks like a great mod series (all the mods made the author) especially the adding previously modded factions to future mods. Some Warcraft III mods had it, and it made campaigns feel fresh since not only your side changed but the opponent as well. Also the Google translated text is both hilarious and intriguing since it gives you a hint of what the unit might do, but your not sure until you see it in action :D P.S. Maybe some links to where we can find these Chinese mods would be great

Oh boy. I can’t wait for him to find the “think tank director”

"how cool do you want to make the mods to be?" Chinese modders: 是的!!!!

This looks amazing, the different gameplay styles that are possible because of the upgrades and all the choices you have to make seem really fun. Can't wait to see more of this :)

3:04 whisle machine could be related to the sentry, as in chinese, "whistle" means whistle blower, or standing guards in war.

So many different new mechanics and approaches to what you can do in just the first episode. The mercenary-like 'field promotion' is when i noticed how different this mod is from the usual ones. Very interesting to see how it will impact future mods and what new things we might see!

I'm so excited for this. Ever since I started playing the OG StarCraft back in 1998 at the tender age of 10 I have loved this franchise. Thing is, I never played ladder. I am terrible at competitive anything and never tried. Only ever played the campaigns. And the Protoss have been my favorite faction ever since I first read their lore entry in the manual. I know Grant has showcased other LotV mods before (such as the Last of the Firstborn which I hope to try for myself soon), but compared to the number of WoL and HotS mods, there aren't nearly as many. Super happy to see some 'Toss love 😁

Htxl, i absolutely love this mod maker. This is before i knew about the translations, so i spent time figuring out abilitys from play testing. Note that this mod is easy. it was one of htxls first mods and there are not many scary units. As far as i know.

Just a couple minutes in the video, Grant seems to be guessing how the reconstruction works. In the first mission, I saw warp prism deploy, and a wreckage revived in the pylon power. My early guess is pylon power is required to reconstruction purifiers. Edit: Look like it was an ability from the warp prism and the whistle.

Low Energy is like Ra2 Low Power where you have to have Power or else your production will decrease by 50% and all your defenses will be deactivated, and the Force Shield thing too. The Protocol Synchronization is like the Nanofiber Sync from Mental Omega XD where you use the ability on your own infantries and those infantries turned into more powerful/different version of itself. Very cool design for Protoss.

Sweeping robots? Damn, those are some tall roombas

I like the new sound of warping in buildings

This looks great! also i am so looking forward on how this evolves over future mods this is super interesting

Interesting! I'm excited to see more of this mod :) I love the Purifiers in the campaign and Fenix as a Co-op Commander.

looking forward to seeing more! Thanks for the video!

Finally, a mod from my favourite mod maker, thank you Grant

Huh. Some really neat systems in play here - I'd love to see more!

Translations can be really funny at points. For example in polish localisation vipers are called dragons. Why? Because the word "Żmija"(Viper) doesn't really have the cool factor and makes you thing about normal animal. As if you named zergling "dog". So instead they chose to go back to the word from which "żmija" is derived, it being "żmij"(Dragon) tho because this word is very old it doesn't make you thing about dragons when you hear it. And if anyone wonders why vipers are named after dragons it's because in slavic mythology snakes turn into dragons at certain age.

Id love to see more! It looks really fun

The Protocol Sychronization reminds me of the Nanofiber Sync SUPPORT POWER from Red Alert 2 Mental Omega mod.

This mod is suuuper interesting. I am really looking forward to seeing more. Protoss is by far my favourite StarCraft Faction and Purifiers are by far (again) my favourite sub-faction. I cant wait to see more!

Definitely interested in seeing more of this!

Super sick mod! Love to see more and how it progress. Especially with the different upgrade systen

Grant leaving all the wreckages behind at 21:10 really triggers me xD

I am nothing if not a whistle machine. I have not been refactored yet, but look forward to it.

Looks like a neat faction looking forward to watching more

Let's Goooo!

Such a unique take on the purifiers which I absolutely love

Great mod! Can't wait to see it in its entirety.

Having custom factions as enemies is so cool ... Harder, as you have to learn what they do without using them yourself, but I can already see the challenge this flyer-zealot combo could be

I am so excited about an extended series where more and more mods are slowly added! Glad you started doing a spotlight on some of these chinese mods!

Looks cool :) Really liking seeing the Chinese mods I'd never known about

This looks like a lot of fun, and the idea of the world-setting becoming increasingly complex as you get more and more recent mods from the same creator sounds incredibly fun. I hope you consider still doing that despite the issues you had the day after this video with jerk commenters, but I do understand why you wouldn't want to. Excited for more as always! :)

I just recently played through this mod, super fun. It ramps up ALOT especially on korhal

The models look really nice, too

We have to see more of this!

the vigilant/whistle combo reminds me a little of marine/medic. the reconstitution mechanic is also reminiscent of medics in company of heroes, who run out to pick up dead infantry and bring them to the medic centre, and when you've collected a full squad's worth they pop out a fresh squad of infantry for you

"Upgrade the Think Tank Director to an Inspector" Man, I just genuinely love badly translated mods. It's so much fun. There was a whole series of DarkSouls mods that where called just that. Badly translated mods. Hell of a good time.

Please keep up this series sounds great

Very cool to see more mods for HotS and LotV!

Very interesting mod, I must say! Thank you!

LotV is my favorite campaign, and Purifiers are my favorite faction. This is gonna be a blast!

Fun mod, I'm having a blast using the purifier mechanics.

I love the idea of the flyer it is so intresting

This seems like fun, I'm interested in more :)

Not sure how relevant it will be, but it's pretty cool that the capacity upgrade seems to enable you to build production structures outside of pylon power with no downside.

I like the happy Purifier probe build noise.

A.I took over the Protoss' job.

man I love this already

Looks good, the modmaker probably has some cool ideas later in the mod for units and enemy factions.

Im waiting for a day, when CCM will allow making its own cinematics, and a man that will make more of them, this game deserves so much more(

2:45 "Not the craziest thing in the history of mankind." Ah, but what about Protosskind?

Interesting Difficulty Curve, Interesting Faction, I just got done watching your heart of the swarm eyeser stuff, this looks like more of the fun.

Man this is the best timeline for custom campaigns!

Heck yeah! Purifiers are my favourite sub faction of Protoss, I can’t wait to see where this mod goes! It’s a really cool angle on the faction as well, I love the medic-but-not-really drones 🤔

Reminds me of the Foehn Revolt for the Red Alert 2 Mod Mental Omega. It’s a cyborg and robot heavy faction whose infantry can get transformed by Nanofiber SYNC (same as the Purifier units getting “Syncronized” into bigger units). Fitting that faction emerges when Yuri mind controls the world, like Amon does in LoTV.

These seems really cool! Looking forward to what they did with other units, I wonder if there will be the option to turn the Mothership Core into a Mothership.

all these beam attacks are so beautiful! 🤩

That's a cool mod I'm curious about what ludicrous stuff it will be able to pull? ^^ Thanks for the fun! :)

HOLY S#!T! THIS IS AWESOME!

well i def want more of this

"The enemy shall be purified!" This mod already looks amazing and the new units and abilities are fun.

15:53 Interesting method of getting higher-tier units. Reminds me of the Heroism God Power from Age of Mythology: The Titans. Atlanteans could upgrade any of their Human units into Heroes, and the God Power did it to a group of them (I think about 4 or 5, maybe there was a hidden limit based on upgrade cost) for free.

6:33 "FIRSTBORN. YOUR FA-" One anhialation later, and we don't even have the Whistle Machine to refactor yet! I love translations across languages in general XD

11:10 the orbital crushed the hydra, he was having a really bad day lol

Both of the new mods you're playing now look absolutely fascinating, absolutely stick with them please!

That promotion effect kind of reminds me of the Valor Atlantean god power from Age of Mythology. I like it when things remind me of Age of Mythology. 🐍

Yes, please continue with this mod as well.

Those whistle fellas remind me of the Drones from the Promethean faction in the Halo games

I would enjoy to watch you play all of HTXL Campaigns. Especially campaigns the ones after you play the Zerg campaign, since his Zerg is one of the most overpowered custom Zerg factions out there.

1:50 Legionnaires: "YOOOOLOOOOOO!" 2:02 Colossi that also hit air, how horrifying. 9:36 It's like the Spirit Walker Ancestral Spirit ability, except you have a lot more valid targets and improved energy and cooldown. 11:51 Yeah, Spear of Adun is bullshit in Brutal. I only managed to do that because I abused the hell out of the Stalker Blink, which I hate doing. 13:08 Yeah, also the wreckage has a time limit so you have to revive it quick or it goes to the forever box. 13:40 "Oh, that's a lot of guys," Grant says, as we watch his units lynch the enemies.

Purifier's Combat Doctrine: Vaporize their shit with our shit, bro. 🤜🤛

I was just gonna say that there's a lack of Legacy of the Void mods and then you post this ^_^ Love Legacy of the Void!

don't know if it's just me, but that flying thing that reconstructs fallen units reminds me of those Promethean Watchers from Halo 4 - both in function (Watchers were able to revive fallen Knights) and design

I noticed that when Grant used the Deploy Pylon ability it put down a different pylon than his probes did... His probes build 'Matrix Nodes' which you can see have an orange power field and are targetable by the Drive Core Node unlike the basic pylons, which have a blue power field and are not (21:28)

I find it interesting how we have to figure out not only the new units, but also the translated text of the new units, adds an extra layer of complexity to the whole thing

china mod month cool really neat to see creative works from other languages

The low power state and especially a bit less damage but significantly more responsive (and a little bit cheaper) stalkers are great ideas that I think base game would benefit greatly. Looking forward to what other ideas they had in this mod, its interesting so far

I wonder if there'll be the same upgrades or at least similar ones between levels! I think reconstruction beam will be insane with the respawn mechanic of the faction so far.

Sweeping robots ? Back home in Terran Dominion we call them roombas

The SC2 modding scene gives me life.

Definitely see if the Promotion mechanic also heals units that are damaged, could be neat to clutch heal a group of them that are on death's door.

those flying bots are just watchers from Halo 4, i sense a lot of promethean influence in the future

Interested! Also, can you try the nexus attack, and hover over the 2 passives for the probe? One when outside the building menu, and one in the building sub-menu. Also, next time hover over the abilities of the elite units please, like the encourager.

The Purifier mod really brings back the hype from Legacy of Tal'darim. Can't wait to activate the Daelam on Cybros
