Hey guys, sorry the video is so long. There was a choice I had to make between doing only Zero Hour or doing both missions. But showing Zero Hour alone is a war crime and I don't want to go to the Hague so we got this monstrosity instead.

Grant always goes to evacuation first because he wants to see Dr Hanson earlier.

ah yes Evacuation, the mission where u sacrifice 136 soldiers to save 50 infested civilians trully a good choice made by Raynor that won't backfire later c:

Man with Gun in House remains one of the most deadly things

3:15 Grant: Can I build a bunker pls? SCV: Yeah, whatever.

I think, making the run into Marine-SCV-Turret only is pretty OK, it's not that it was a serious super-hardcore run anyway.

Zero Hour is over at 14:42 The Evacuation starts at 15:40 The Evacuation restart at 33:00

That actually made the evacuation feel like a desperate escape from an overwhelming force. Do not underestimate the power of the medic, apparently. This is probably already decided on stream, but I think SCV plus marine is reasonable. Choose one: Pullin the bois, or lowering the difficulty?

Holy shit, what a stressful end to Evacuation. Like oh man that was actually insane how tight the movement was, plus the fact the Brood Lord had 5 Armor. Feels like a little beyond other stuff I've seen, even Nightmare difficulty. The fact that the bonuses were ignored in the first stage reminds me of the Challenge Gauntlet series when James Raynor was replaced with Rames Jaynor, and brutally murdered colonists for his own gain. "Hey brother, friends help kill people" -Swann Probably

I wish Blizzard would introduce this into the game. Right clicking to train units in every selected production structure.

I would really like a modpack, that combines all the reallife immersive stuff like real scale and crew mod and such.

I started of thinking that this is impossible, but then I remembered that Bunkers exist, and Marines in Bunkers are destroyers of worlds, not even Kerrigan Xelnaga would stand a chance.

1:40 How can you not remember the Ultralisk at the Evacuation?! You even have a short video on your channel of that Ultra killing half of your real-scale army. :D

Hey, Grant! Thanks for continuing to pump out Campaign stuff - I really love seeing it.

This was so stressful, but he did it. He completed both Zero Hour and Evacuation in under and hour, with restarts included. The amount of casualties is insane, but this challenge is just "Ends justify the means." And Grant certainly got the job done, a few dozen Marines at a time.

With Real-scale zero hour seems more easier because of the bunker being 6 slots instead of 4 Keep up the good work grant

The moment I saw the length of the video, I thought to myself "Zero Hour is back?" But in my stupidity, I forgot Zero Hour was a joke.

1:48 as someone who had recently replayed this mod, this statement filled me with immense chadenfrued

Real Scale Bio only, might be a more realistic challenge here XD

The spot Grant takes in our hearts is as big as that Real Scale Overlord

You always joke about trying to stay awake during Zero Hour, but I legit started falling asleep in my chair. The video is currently paused at 15:00 and I'll hit play in the morning.

32:35 The zerglings had only touched these colonists and they were already disintegrated. Only some puddles of blood.

Marines plus Mercenaries and/or Predators? Idk, this looks exceptionally brutal.

kills medics spares missile turrets

54:35 the lone baneling wiping out every colonist killed me

Should have brought more heavy bolters :D

do not expect the zero hour can be accomplish in first try and even without flying command center strategy. Well done, Grant.

The missile turret has a marine sitting in it so just letting them spin around is alright

Being an Ark enjoyer myself with more tgan 1k hours played I can confirm that this indeed is a fine arch you got there sir

I'd say try marines with SCVs, and if it doesn't work, include couple of medics for later missions since it will probably require a pixel perfect play to pull off and that's not fun for anyone. One thing is a challenge, another thing is agony. Either medics or lower difficulty.

To be fair, I think the 50 colonists in this mission are an abstraction because on Meinhoff they have over 100 houses and I don't think one colonists occupies 2 or more each.

Grant: Can I please build a bunker? SCV Pilot: Yeah, whatever

I am impressed and appreciative of the massive effort to finish Evacuation. Well done man!

-the evacuation 50 minutes. Oof shouldve watched more

"can i build a new bunker pls?" "yeah whatever" 3:16

Grant is playing a mini game in Zero Hour: Hit the Bainling. I hope he beats his own Highscore 👍

Personally, I'd vote for scv marine and also allow any buildings like missile turrets and orbital command centers. Since missile turrets are the only way you'll be able to kill anything in the air that isn't a mutalisk, this is because everything in the air is big and big things have a TON of armor and in order to beat things with a lot of armor you need high damage per attack. Marines don't have high damage per attack. Orbital command centers are also your best bet against ultralisks despite the crazy damage ultras do against buildings. My recommendation would be to distract the ultralisk with one marine at a time while the orbital/orbitals shoot it.

42:46 Wait, did the modder remove "Please alert your men" in the audio file? Ironically in the challenge where it is the most appropriate.

i love how 136 marines laid down their lives to protect 50 colonists not even mentioning the allied marines that got left behind and also the normal ones.

Grant the longer the video the more we enjoy from you

54:27 The moment I saw that 3rd bangling, I knew them colonists were boned lol

Bofo connect that! If things get real impossible, I think adding medics would be reasonable They're effectively just an add-on to the marines

Thanks for the the fun! ^^

This was probably the hardest evacutation Grant had to to... o.o Like, the constant high pressure, high health HP and armour... Buddy, Grant, you gonna need every bit of turret and bunker your SCVs can build in the future missions, you earned them! And probably some cheeze. ;)

HANK NOOOO Honestly this is just making me more hype for realscale zerglings only.

that is so funny, i just reinstalled ark since 2016 when it came out and i am having a blast with it. i can really recomend it.

Technically speaking there is a guy in the missile turret, that could be a marine so it still counts :)

Finally a worth rival Zero Hour for GGG

can't image how you would beat the huge units, Ultra, void ray, Thor. lol

Sacrificed 136 marines and SCV to save 50 colonists, totally worth it.

It really feels like Zero Hour was a stress-test they worked into a mission lol.

Always so quick to execute the medics lmao mae me laugh

Zero hour is one of my favourite missions. Also, HotS>WoL>>>>LotV. Just saying.

I'd say just doing barracks units and no other tech besides like drop ships for when you need it would be fun to watch like this and may stop a bit of the bullshit happening too. Still counts as casual imo

Im glad he enjoys zero hour, favorite mission

So did real scale firebats make all the difference the first time Grant played through this? hahaha. holy crap i dont remember this being that hard

It does feel like in real scale the entirety of the Zerg's arsenal is made to kill squishy humans.

You lost 136 marines/SCVs to evacuate 50 colonists. Worth it

The Evacuation is a stupid mission. Saving 50 civilians isn't worth 100+ marines. The protoss evacuation mission (I forget the name) makes more sense because it's implied you're saving FAR more lives than you can possibly lose on the mission.

just so you know. i like the interactions with twitch chat in these vids

Looked really bad (evacuation), got to hand it to you, stone broke and a city sized brood lord and you still pulled it off. Cheers.

My favorite part of this video was when Grant said "It's arcin' time!" and arced all over the zerg

was a little surprised you didn't do the bonus in zero hour. especially the bonus range you get should be helpful (especially with the hydras), no?

Honestly, would be a feat and a great run even if you could do Marine, SCV, Medics, and turrets. I have a guess it won't get any easier with bigger units with more armor.

I think we need to look into some build plans. Then use those to try to beat the campaign. Say Vulture Wraith. Because marines just counter everything. And honestly I'd love to see a few Real Scale supporting units to center this type of campaign around. I also wish we could trade out starting units to fit. Although Ghost Battlecruiser First mission might get interesting when a squad of battlecruisers has to fight swarms of Dominion ones from their own starting forces.

17:45 the much anticipated return of Depot Dave

This is by far the easiest starcraft playthrough coming from California💀

Marines, Bunkers, Turrets, SCVs

OMG wow, that was so close!!

I personally prefer longer vids makes sense why other might not but I would IMAGINE most like longer vids

Missile turrets do have a marine sitting in them on the turret part, so I say it's valid in my own opinion.

I don't know how, but Grant did a 20 minute mission by 15 minutes.

There is no way you can do either version of All in. Brood Lords are monsters, Nydus are huge and far away.

Isn't there marines in missile turrets? So if we can get marines in bunkers, it's totally normal to get marines in missile turrets.

As a compromise with Maw of the Void, mahbe aim for Hercules to ferry marines around. It'll still be hard, and hercules don't do anything in combat except move units around

I don’t even think I lost a guy there… Proceeds to execute medic in cold blood. 😂

Went for that bonus minerals at the start and missed one. Damn you dr for leaving early!

136 marines died for 50 colonists. That's math.

I like the longer videos 👍

sees small banelings wonders if the split banelings are even seeable xD

real scale marines only crew mod be like

Maw of the Void and Sky Toss also exist ;P Not just Ultras

yeah. as predicted it become bunker only instead of marines only XDDD

3:37 to 3:44 really felt like he was talking with the scv

Wait that tractor at 9:20 is a unit? That thing can move? Today I learned.

Throughout this mission I couldn't go 5 minutes without an ad break 😢

This mission was ridiculous, and it's only going to get worse from here.

I HATE Evacuation. How stupid that the convoys leave whether you have defenses or not. They just drive into the slaughter.

Well I think you got such a big attack because you left a pathing gap on accident when you rebuilt the bunker, so all the zerg just pathed around through there...

A) Could you zoom in to make banes easier to target in the future? And B) Aren't SCV's tankier than marines in this mod? Pulling the boys for a frontline might actually be beneficial. Or would that break the "marines only" rule? I'd understand either way, you said it's a casual (probably impossible) challenge yourself.

22:35 You lost 100 minerals o_O

Honestly I'd even be happy with infantry only. Going without the flagships already looks hard enough.

lol broodlords and ultras are so stupidly powerful in this

forget all these amazing custom campaigns! I want all the SC2 modders to get to work on making missile turrets fire tiny little marines that shoot at things as they fly in the air!

Pog finaly

6:29 and I approve this message

Always curious how and why saving 50 colonists was worth sacrificing wayyy more than that in army unit supply

The problem with zerglings... One million billion zerglings is manageable. Infinity zerglings isn't. Except for Grant I guess!

I think firebats only would be a better challenge.
