The real shame is that Blizzard did all this stuff with AI, but then never implemented it where it would actually apply: singleplayer campaign. Imagine more missions where you had a competent AI partner that actually built well. They could have also added in bots for the co-op commanders as well. It's silly to only have the good ai for unranked ladder.

Grant: "I have brood war zerglings!" Enemy widow mine: (excited servo)

SC1 Reavers do actually have a "stun delay" when being dropped by a Shuttle. I think I also remember Tasteless or Artosis mentioning that Protoss in one of the release patches used to be busted because when Shuttle Reaver micro was discovered, reavers would instantly attack so you could hotkey the reaver inside the shuttle and instantly load it back into the shuttle and it will get a shot off (basically like how in SC2 you use to be able to load Sieged Tanks and have them instantly fire too)

Something I remember is my dad playing 1 vs 7 ai's on toxic slums back in wings of liberty. He always had the belief that Starcraft was the better game, but that Starcraft 2 had better gameplay. I am very excited to see how he reacts to this combination, and I always enjoy playing with him.

I can already smell the mods for each of the campains with sc1 factions

WAIT WHAT IT WORKS WITH AI ? Grant i love u mate ! I was hesitant to try this mod out because of multiplayer anxiety but this just sold me to come back and do some games ! Thanks a bunch !

This mod reminds me so much of Generals Evolution, since it's also a remake of an older game (Generals) in a newer polished engine (Red Alert 3)

The AI controller never gets attention because the game by design focuses on either PVP or PVE content. P&EVP&E is something that could be a really interesting concept that you just never see.

These SC1 models need to get into Mass Recall, they look incredible

Really hamstrung pink with that "you need to build colossus, you know, that unit you're incapable of producing."

This is one of the fun mods in arcade, i like how well sc1 broodwar units were brough to sc2 and the ability to fight sc1 bw version vs sc2 version of races, but yea the custom models changes and all of it really makes it very fancy

Now that Broodwar and Warcraft 3 have both been remade in Starcraft 2, Starcraft vs. Warcraft when?

I do like the little detail that the unit currently targeted by the reaver's scarabs gets a highlight

If you can control the AI, does that mean you could do a game mode where you just have like a single unit or building and you control your AI allies to fight AI's controlled by your human opponent?

Heptacraft was also really interesting while it was still alive. Had some factions that were more similar to the originals (seven total factions). Alas, never worked with the ai.

I'm sure someone's gonna be making a campaign mod with BW stuff with the BW stats instead of the preexisting units that are already in SC2

i very much enjoy everything about this mod. I've been watching battles between sc1 and sc2 races and its been fun.

My favorite part "he didn't do too stupid, he was about the same as purple .... that's me" xD

Wait the dev actually recreate the ultimate battle between BW's Dark Archon vs Derpfestor from the Carbot series! Imagine they kidnap all 3 race workers and begin their chaotic warfare against each other though

The models for the Brood War factions look amazing. And the fact this works with AI is so wonderful.

Wow. I literally watched a video about this mod yesterday and was hoping that you would cover it in the future. Little did i know that you must have already been streaming it 😅

I do like that Grant at 9:47 says to defend and then AI 3 at 9:52 says they are all-in attacking just like other players they never listen to you

Aww man, I wished I got to see some Infested Terran action when I see all those Queens and burning CC

The LittleGrantGames AI games lore.

Now we gotta see brood war factions in sc2 campaigns

2v2s for showmatches of full races would be very cool ngl

This got me some CoH2 vibes, where you have two German factions. Slightly similiar, but playstyle is totally different.

That was interesting to watch! It was so inspiring to see Grant so happily beating the bots! :D Thanks for the video!

i really enjoy these videos (4v4 coop etc) keep up the good work!!!

Been watching Lowko cast a bunch of games of this. Pretty cool, SC1 spells are busted though lmao.

Wow, I never knew about this feature but it seems like a really cool thing to make a custom map/mod off of. Imagine a SC2 "god game" where you are responsible for ordering a bunch of AIs around to complete objectives. Or even doing something like a republic commando type of thing where each AI has tools you need to win and you have to order them to progress.

Watching this video I learned for the first time about the "triangle of a number". I'd never heard of such a thing before.

Thanks for sharing the fun with AIs! ^^

My poor forgotten creep colony, nobody remembers that you spread creep. Everyone focuses on the sunks and spores.

Something pretty funny is that SC1 Firebats are actually really strong in this mod against Zerg.

Huh, I wonder what about Starcraft I zerglings makes them more durable in a Starcraft II context. I thought the big thing that made them worse in Starcraft II was just that the better pathing made them clump up more and other units are more powerful even though the zerglings base stats was the same?

I hope this means other factions will be available for multiplayer matches, Imagine Moebius or legacy of the memes ^^

I love that Broodwars Zealots have the Bombastic walk animation of Karax boy

"Sending Scout..." Silly AI, you're Zerg! You don't have scouts!

Yellow Zerg be like: "I DIDNT HEAR NO BELL!"

yo, i love that SC1 Zealot stabbing animation! 🤩

perfect comedy at it's best here thanks grant

I will play it for sure once I am back from vacation

I actually haven't heard hardly anything about Melee Mods, let alone anything positive about them. Covering this is a huge help to me, thank you very much for the video!

surprised no defiler in first game, artosis would be happy

This is objectively the best mod for this game. This mod actually made me play SC2 for hours which I hadn't done since 2010.

The best mod. Thank you very much!

I just had an idea for a challenge run if you want (though you'd need to find a modder willing to do it): any of the three campaigns, but you can't actually control anything and instead have to give the AI orders like you would to AI allies (maybe adding a few extra commands if it's possible to add).

I thought the SC1 workers mine faster because SC1 workers accelerate from zero to full instantly while SC2 workers ramp up over a second or so slowing the time to both reach the minerals and to deliver them once mined. This results in a mining rate similar to having 3 SC2 workers on each patch for each 2 SC1 workers

0:18 Starcraft: AllStars 5:20 Nice follow-up. "That's stupid, let me just..."

The SC2 AI is damn funny sometimes. Sometimes they'll start expanding to other areas and then straight up start building up like it's a WOL mission. Setting them lower than Elite just makes em send weak waves ranging from a flock of zerglings to a full army. Also I forgot that they also burrow drones when their drones have nowhere to go.

Alternate Title: Campaign Master Grant Bullies the AI for 30 mins straight

When I see this it remembers me of the good old sc1 campaigns. Wouldn‘t it be fun to Take the Units from sc1 to sc2 and make a Remake of the old campaigns just with the benefits of sc2 like the better pathing, better AI and bigger command groups?

As someone who almost exclusively plays vs AI in RTS, the SC2 AI is generally pretty good, and controlling AI allies is well done! There are plenty of ways to break the AI tho (they can't deal with liberators for example) and they play in a very rigid non-human way that makes it very repetitive to play against them. It feels very much like the AI has a very solid core, but didn't get updated very well with HotS/LotV, nor after balance patches. I think AoE2:DE generally does this better. The AI is continuously updated and improved and while it has its own issues, every game feels a lot more dynamic and unique. I would've loved for Blizzard to give the AI the same amount of love.

I remember watching a few pro players trying this mod out. It was pretty damn cool.

I love the AI, i play a lot with them in skirmish. I do wish there was a similair AI for playing co-op with as well that would make me really happy as i got no friends :D

I really hope they make a few maps specifically for BW. Right now the environment is SC2, with all its QoL, I'd love to see how SC1 fairs against SC2 when you have more Min, with less gas.

I watched it all and i think we will never know about the pink protoss colossus tomfoolery

should do the starcraft 2 hardcore mod next. type SC2HC into the arcade map search bar & theres a bunch of maps for it, its really neat

I wish AI was working in Brood War too. It technicly exists and works fine in Custom games but they can't be placed in melee games which is stupid.

There is a reason why SC Broodwar zerg rules. lings 1 supply for 2 lings.. Hydralisk 1 supply. Ultralisk 4 supply. You actually feel like THE SWARM. And boy is Brood War Ultralisk fast as they should be.

I love playing vs the AI way more than vs people so this AI command stuff is sick

Well then, here is a mod idea: do the campaigns, but your side is only AI, and all you can do is issue AI commands (and maybe run one hero around).

I forget, have we already had SC2 Campaigns using the SC1 units? I'd looove to see this if not

god I love those classic zealots, I've always been disappointed in the way SC2 zealots just kind of wave their arms around when attacking

Lore acurate protoss. Fighting until the last zerg dies. No survivors

I wonder if someone is going to make "Wings of Liberty but you're SC1 Terran".

Play more this mod pls. ❤❤❤

Any chance you play Aeon of Purification next? It's basically Moebius Mod but for Protoss.

So grant has been a cerebrate all along eh?

I hope we can see Infested SC's there 😁

R.I.P. spine crawler family 🙏🙏😔😛

I was kinda hoping to see the brood queens infest the command center for once

Shuttle Reavers! Go, go little Nausicaa Of the Valley of the Wind references!

I remember that AI feature, is pretty cool.

Grant at 27:25: Ever pull workers against a Reaver?

I really wish you tried to infest the BW Command Center, because the BW Infested Marines are *amazing*! Banelings wish they were BW Infested Marines. The difference in damage output is glorious.

BW Zealots look sooooo cool O,O

19:10: The number of match-ups is n² / 2, so 18 in this case.

man, the models look soooo much better than Mass Recall

I tried the demo, it’s definitely unfinished but looks insane right now compared to mass recall

13:33 Like antennas to heaven?

IT WORKS WITH AI!? I can't wait for modders to start adding it into campaign. Imagine zergs on aiur being sc1 zerg since nobody made them evolve since overmind died. Or the outdated equipment Orland would use.

Huh.. I always thought SC1 creep gave increased health regen to Zerg units on it, though I noticed it did not grant the speed buff SC2 creep has.. does it not give regen either? Is SC1 creep *just* for Zerg building placement? Huh. Neat.

Damn the bots are out in force today

hey grant, kind of a noob question but, why do you flicker your grab box on your workers at the mineral field?

Can you order the AI to cheese ? Like a cannon rush 🤔

I honestly didn't know mod works with AI bots. I have heard about this mod before but I was never interested in it because I thought it was PvP only. I might give it a few skirmish games then.

So one thing, i think BW protoss AI its not implemented yet(Terran and zerg are obviously) If you pay attenton the pink BW protoss was kinda weird, it just used some dragoons i think but everything else was very innactive

Is it just me or SCI Siege Tank feels like having infinite range and do infinite damage

what if you infested both a SC2 CC and BW CC, will they be different?

anyone know how to get the mod running?

You press Alt+G like in multiplayer. Yeah. Cool right?

if blizzard ever makes a SC3 this mod is a must have staple with then SC1, SC2 and SC3 versions. is it going to be balanced? not really but that isn't the point it gives people who play SC seriously a semi casual mode and good jumping on point for people to get used to the new game. just like the co-op factions would be a must for a SC3 since it is a form of long term casual content. then you would have the balanced SC3 only 1v1 which would be the balanced mode. but even that i think could be spiced up by the side content. what if the balanced SC3 version of a faction is the pick and mixed version from the co-op mode and SC1/SC2 and as a means of balance or to shake things up in a new season is to swap a couple of units in an out. like say protoss is too strong so the Auir immortal gets swapped with the tal'darim immortal. would totally change how things work but such changes would be very limited to try and maintain balance and understanding where things would end up.

probably becuase blizzard didn't make this wasn't it the Microsoft AI that learned SC2 and that resulted in this better AI?

How to play this mod?

grant what do you mean cant exspand creep youve playd starcraft 1 right

I’m sorry

Except they arent BW lings when you have SC2 pathing....

Wtf are these bots?
