Duke: There's more zerg than we can handle! Mission: Requires player to handle the zerg. :|

That explains Duke's siege tank unit available in the editor...

Now the quote "I'd never figure you for the frontal assault type" makes sense

Man, I love how Duke delivers the line : "Well......more than we can handle" Pitty this mission was cut ; though I understand why they did it. :) And, of course, not to forget ! "Where'd you study tactics, boy ?" ^^

lol raynor called him dukie

these guys play hardball

Jim Raynor = Legend. The voice is really good for this game, it's amazing.

There's nothing quite like the idea of Terran and Protoss joining together in arms against the vile Zerg!

who remembers when seige tanks did 70 damage without upgrade, when they could kill most units with fewer shots?

Oh look the missing story dialog that makes Tassadar recognizing Kerrigan make sense. Download link is dead.

I've seen this video many times through many years, but I never had the need to comment back then because I was just a kid. But I like many things about this mission. There are so many interesting things about it. 1. It's visible that this map lacks sufficient amount of polish. It is very rare for a StarCraft map to start just with 4 SCVs, Command Center and two heroes. The scripts are a bit rough. So it's possible that this was more common in earlier single player maps, but then they decided that it's more fun when you give at least some basic units and building at the begging. This type of "only workers and main building" type of start was much more common in WarCraft II, there were at least a couple missions that just gave you Town Hall, some peasants, two farms and that's it, good luck! Barely anything like that in StarCraft. Even the War2 multiplayer started with one peasant and the first minute was just watching your Town Hall being built. 2. This map was reused in second mission in Enslavers, called Mission 2a: Playing with Fire. Enslavers was a veteran bonus campaign located in original maps/campaign folder. A lot from the environment was preserved there, except from the upper right corner, also the map was improved with a lot more doodads. even the location of the blue Hive Cluster remains intact, although it's not blue anymore and there were way more enemy Zerg, but also two Terran Forces. This wasn't by the way the only map that was reused for Enslavers. 3. This map actually shows many interesting team color choices. This also stems from Warcraft II, because back then every color had a meaning, from red Blackrock and white Lordaeron, to green Kul Tiras and black Shadowmoon, both Tides of Darkness and Beyond the Dark Portal relied heavily on this color palette. I'm saying that, because both Norad II and Biting the Bullet missions features Orange and Blue Zerg, and this Blue Zerg in particular is interesting because it's Surtur Brood. In Original StarCraft you see this force only once during the entire game and it's in Mission 6: Norad II. This brood was depicted in StarCraft Manual as Heavy Support Force, and was said to be so completely destructive when unleashed it is kept restrained within the recesses of the Zerg fleet and is only called upon under the most extreme circumstances. This actually without even a mentioning that says a lot about how infested the Antiga planet already was, and it would be nicer if the force was used more often in final game, maybe instead of the brown Grendel Brood in final Aiur missions. The brown Cerebrate was unnamed anyway, but the blue Cerebrate's name was Kagg. 4. This map also has the first intended color scheme for Protoss. In Original StarCraft, they finally have settled on the idea that the Teal color is always for allied heroes and alternatively for allied forces during scripted cut-scenes in Brood War, and also Yellow was a color for enemy heroes and mission objectives in Brood War. But it seems it wasn't the case in early drafts of StarCraft and the reason for that can also be found in StarCraft Manual. The Protoss main tribe of the Templar Caste is called Akilae and it's Teal in-game. It was supposed to be the main player color in Protoss Campaign, because in unused first mission it is the default Protoss team color, so the Akilae Tribe, while Orange Auriga and Yellow Velari are the Protectors of the Great Fleet and Reserves forces. In fact, Akilae Tribe is the insignia for the Protoss Faction of Aiur in StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void. This is even visible in Zerg missions during the invasion of Aiur - you mostly fight Teal, Yellow and Orange Protoss there. So it would obviously made sense for the Protoss hero color not be Teal - so they gave them an unused color, Brown - that's why Gantrithor is brown, because it was an original Protoss hero Color here, and in unused Protoss mission this was the team color for Fenix - he was also brown here, not Teal. They eventually probably made your player color in Protoss Campaign Yellow, so Fenix, Tassadar and Zeratul would have the same Teal hero color as Raynor had for familiarity sense so the player wouldn't feel so confused - but it is a nice thought. After all, Warcraft 2 also never had a permanent hero color, it was always either random, or tied to their clan somehow.

Many things have sense now. I never knew why there was an Edmund Duke in tank form.

WHERE YOU STUDY TATICS BOI?

Good decision to leave this out, Chapter 1 served as a beginner campaign so it would be too soon to introduce inter-race units (Carriers at that). Plus showing the noble and very human Tassadar this early takes away the assumed hostility and enigma of the Protoss, and makes the later alliance of Raynor and Tassadar less surprising.

aah... back in the day when we thought the Dominion was a good thing...

ha, I remember back when overlords were the main method of zerg transport, but now it is a nydus worm.

That mission might not have made it as a campaign mission, but that starting base area looks uncannily familiar. Reminds me of that Custom single-player Campaign that came with the disk. It had something to do with pirates taking control of a cerebrate and there were several pathway-sequels you could play that would have reflected whether you chose to listen to the Protoss or not. I made a bet with my bro that I could beat it before him. Not only did I lose, they destroyed my base.

It was the introduction of Tassadar?!!! How could they pull this out?!!!!

Man, I really wish this was in the original mission pack. Getting the whole Protoss fleet would be so badass.

"How many are out there... Dookie?" LOL

Wow, this is incredible...I really enjoyed the dialogue interplay between Raynor and Duke.

@Nightsinger I think this explains why Aldaris appoints you the new executor to replace Tassadar in the beginning of protoss campaign. Remember he said that Tassadar went against the conclave's order and refused to wipe out the humans along with the zerg

I just watched the movie Aliens yesterday and it's kinda funny how most of the dropship pilot's quotes are from that movie.

The misson is amazing, thanks for showing it to us. You get three heros plus a huge protoss force to go with terran troops.

"are you two through?" gotta love kerrigan's sarcasm

This looked like a pretty interesting mission. So this was how tassadar met duke and raynor. It's a pity they took it out, it looks like a fun map.

I remember playing this in some Starcraft demo. Was the first time i tried this awesome game :)

Extremely interesting. Thanks for finding this.

So that's where I learned the line, "Where'd you study tactics boy?" was from.

There's a line Tassadar says towards Kerrigan. It goes something like: "I know who you are. We've met before." And this is in the Zerg campaign that comes AFTER the Terran campaign. Further more, the crimes listed by Aldaris regarding Tassadar in the Protoss campaign state something about hanging out with the Terrans (I don't remember exactly what was says) instead of destroying them along WITH the Zerg. This mission actually gives us some much needed story information. In my humble opinion, we needed this mission in the campaign, but we should have it be a VERY late mission.

Well, this mission explains better how Raynor and Tassadar became pals. They should have made one hidden mission for each races.

I always wondered why there is a Duke siege tank in the Map editor when I played with it as a child. So it belonged to a cutted mission.

Cini still replying to comments after all these yards. This was one of the goated videos back then.

Even with exploiting the position of the first Hive and using Siege Tanks to assault it from the other side of the water, this mission is one of the hardest and possibly the longest in the entire Terran campaign. I don't really remember any other map where you get two cutscenes and two additional objectives during the mission (here: defend your base from the unexpected Zerg attack, then destroy the other Zerg brood with your new Protoss ally). I wonder whether the other Terran missions were also harder at first, and Blizzard tamed them down just before the release.

Great! I haVe been looking for this for a long time :D

omg nice!!! it was like i was playing it too (i had it in full screen so i tried AND failed to interact lol) but seriously NICE, and it fits well with the campaign too and explains how raynor first allied with the protoss

HOLY CRAP no way! you MSUt be the first person EVAR to figure that out. the game came out ten years ago i'm suprised nobody was able to figre out before. grats!

Wow! How many years and this is the first time I saw this. Very cool.

Daaamn seeing this gave me so much nostalgia. :D

So, where did you get this stuff from? Impressive! Sadly, the link appears to be broken.

Funny how the music cuts off just as Raynor calls the good old General "Dukie". Like the game itself is stunned by his audacity.

How do you use this. I download a mod for campaign cut content but in play custom and it won't work, any help?.

Actually Duke's tank form was used in another mission before this one. The "Precursor" campaign that Blizzard had made, and used as a demo, that takes place on Chau Sara.

it called Biting the bullet after the trump card. it a hidden or incomplete mission that Blizzard had removed. missions are hidden on older StarCraft installation CDs and must be extracted with MPQ viewing software. The missions were created using a pre-release version of StarEdit. To play them their format must be updated first; this can be done by opening and saving them again in the StarEdit shipped with StarCraft 1.0. I think it may included in SC Bettle chest full version.

So, where did you ecxatly find this mission. I've would have love to play it!!!

Ah, this map is part of the Alan Schezar campaign. But reissued.

Well, Thank you CiniCraft 4 uploading this...interesting hidden mission :)

This would explain why Raynor was with Tassadar in the Protoss campaign.

I want to know what is the damage of dukie's tank

I've always wondered where those siege tank Duke quotes came from. i found it from a website

any way to get this mission on SC2 or do i have to dig up SC1 again?

ooooooooo so this is where duke in a tank comes from!! when i made maps for starcraft i never knew that this is the one where he came from, i was always confused as to why he was in a tank when he pilots the norad II. really cool video, its too bad the protoss really haven't joined the terrans that early in the game

This closely resembles the first level of "The Enslavers" missions in the scenario folder that comes with StarCraft.

Where can I download it?

too bad they canned these maps. I also liked the idea of the alternative objective in the "wait 30 minutes" mission, which unfortunately doesn't have the completed triggers. It would have been funner to play.

cini which editor did you use? how exactly did you load the map and what number is it? I can't seem to open missions 8 or 10 (out of 12 .chk) on any of the map editors (regular, extra editor and scmdraft2). What steps must i take to open them? Additionally, i want to open the protoss and zerg tutorial (And is the zerg tutorial NOT supposed to have any .wavs?)

That toss fleet seems like an overkill towards that lame zerg base

And WHY DIDN'T THEY PUT THIS IN?! Like Raynor said: "Well hell... the more the merrier"

the defense worked! @wesome! really good. especially when they all focused on your defense entrance. cool man!

How do you unlock this mission? Don't think I've ever played it.

awesome background music.

StarCraft Mass Recall puts this mission after The Trump Card. Which placement works better?

I still love the noise the old Drones used to make while harvesting.

How do you access this mission? Some certain launch parameters? Finding it in the editor and making it a skirmish map? Do you remember?

Do you have the download of it? the Biting the Bullet?

Sheldon: Really. Wait a minute, that was sarcasm. You almost had me there.

Hey CiniCraft, did you make this through campaign editor? If you did, how did you add the sounds to the characters in the mission briefing? I didnt know how..

You know what would be awesome? If we could somehow create our own campaign missions and briefings. Somehow with using some kind of voice manipulation software that can mimic the voices of anyone and have your own Starcraft story however you like. Imagine having your own name and army being talked about in the briefings by the voice actors lol

btw you can upload all characters with a special file, and btw its called campaign editor, and you can also download scm draft and upload there voices with a special program

so THIS is the mission that'd give us Duke Tank. can understand why they give alot of heroes in this game some form of HP regen; even if the terrans it's all repair costs.

This and another level can still be extractable from the cd :p. Originally the Terran Campaign had 12 missions but Blizzard didn't add them eventually because the two others had 10 missions. They wanted each campaign to have the same number of missions.

Hi, how can i play this? where do i put this maps? thanks !

why are the portraits in the briefing colorless?

Holy shit i saw part of this before, i can see y they never used it bc it would scew up the future story line, but thanks alot man this is awsome man!!!

I always wandered why there was a tank Duke on the editor...

@Takeital how many ghosts would have to lose their lives just for this stupid nuke-only attack to work?

@blackyoshi1230 This takes place after Mission 6 of the Terran campaign and before Mission 7 "The Trump Card" However, because it was removed from the game it is not considered canon.

Tell me 1 thing. How u get near that hive cluster without revealing mini map.

BTW Cini, there is two other expansion packs that you may have a look at. Insurrection, and the other one I don't remember. Keep up the good work tho.

@CiniCraft Mate, I wondering why your replay have bridges crossing the river and propper doodads and the downloable version does not. Is something wrong with the doodads?

How can we play this mission ?

that protoss fleet was massive

Woah, so that's where Duke gets the tank eh? Man that level is pretty slick though.

Anyone know where in the story this fits in? Like inbetween which missions???

I've tried to extract this level, but I can't get it to run, what did you do?

I do believe this is mission 7.5. This takes place after the Zerg have been lured en masse to Antiga but before Tassadar glasses the planet.

i think you dont have the disc, in the disc are the music and sound

Is this part of the extreme campaign or whatever they called it? I remember hearing of a campaign like this but I don't remember there being sound..

it could be a bonus mission like protoss had in broodwar (but without the new objectives with tassadar)

were can i get this mission i downloaded the demo its not in there

where did u download this at

Where the Brood War Units still there or is it a bug cause the expansion is installed?

Where can you download this?

Oooh, so this was the one I was playing back in 2008s, thinking it was the full game.

Dude thats awesome, you get an extra protoss fleet xD

Where you found it?? I dont play this mission before and i want to try. PLSSSS Tell where excatly it is?

so this is where edmund is in a tank!!

hey, so I downloaded the file, and I really want to try this, but I can't get this to work. What should I do to activate it?

how did you get that mission? is there a way i could get them it looks pretty sweet!

`where did u download this at man
