I kind of wanted Grant to secretely replace the final mission with the funny version as well.

OH F...!

>Here comes the overmind >By Adun!

That seems like a Nral kind of ending

Oh f..c........

cutscene starts "How do you like my moves? Daggoth!" fade to black

To be fair, I also failed to notice him before reading your comment. There was a lot happening on the screen at that time.

@@great_hedgehog8199I noticed zeratul even before Grant commented on him (again I was chilling in my chair, not sweating with 200 apm in SC1, not like it was obvious for Grant)

@@great_hedgehog8199 It's also hard to see stationary, cloaked units. Especially when you expect them to be a screen or two to the left.

Grant suffers from terminal streamer blindness, but for once I gotta give him a pass here, a small, cloaked, stationary unit in a semi-odd spot gets a pass.

The Zeratul KILL was bloody hard to see. He got it only because the overlord drifted in while he had mutas accidentally on top of Zeratul. On top of that, Grant's screen was moving a lot and the kill was on the periphery. You need a frame by frame just to see it.

Red also took one in the top right

Allies in this mod are actually good. In "To Say the Beast" they help you a loooot.

Did you also know a group of sea otters is called a raft?

I was going to propose a Blockade of Guardians, but going the crab route seems smarter!

@@avitraangelica9278 I was thinking shield, but if you're going to attack with them I figure maybe a large enough is an 'offense' xD

Could use upgrades to give crazy damage and armour to only a single player, but otherwise yes.

​@@Photolossdidn't know this trick. I've been wanting to do that my whole life

@@Photoloss doing damage with that is easy: set attack upgrades for player to 20, interceptors now do 26 damage per interceptor. Easy peasy. Doing durability is not as easy to do for a couple reasons. For one, it would then have cascading effects on the Gantrithor itself, since it shares armor/shield upgrades. Making an ~80 health able to take twice as much punishment as usual from Hydralisks would require the armor/shields upgrades to be set to 8. But if you do, now the Gantrithor itself is basically immune to Hydralisk attacks, reducing all attacks to 1 damage. And this is not-quite broodwar, so no Devourers, meaning the only way to kill the thing *would* be to just spam Scourge (because Mutas and Hydras have analogous damage). For anther, by default interceptors only have 40 shields and 40 health, so they'd be just as vulnerable to any spell damage (plague in this instance), regardless of whatever armor/shiepd upgrades they have. There *is* a super easy way that most Use Map Settings maps handles this for games where they don't want Interceptors dying. You just have a constant trigger on repeat to set [particular player](interceptors) to invulnerable, but that'd be making them *impossible* to kill rather than "nearly impossible". (Ok, not truly impossible to kill - you could crush them with terran buildings, but that's *very* micro intensive and uses obtuse mechanics that most people aren't familiar with)

@@EnderPryde You can set health/shields to 100% repeatedly to make them really hard to kill, instead of set to invulnerable.

​@@hallymiao28253 control groups of scourges go brrr

Came to the comments to make this exact remark, so many fond memories of picking options by moving invincible marker units onto beacons.

RP maps where you had an arbiter to spawn things in, and a crap-tonne of zerglings on the side to control what spawns on the arbiter. What a glorious mess they were. :D

Trigger system in editor doesn't have option for "killed with". Even in original campaigns there's small area on Cerebrates that checks if Dark Templar is present there. The only thing I can think of is creating area the size of whole map (in case hero moves, otherwise it can be smaller) and checking if hero died (or to be exact specific player owns 0 of them) and there're Broodlings present. If yes, then do hallucination stuff to respawn it. But you'd have to disable Spawn Broodling for AI allies to limit possiiblity of having Broodling randomly on the map when you kill the hero normal way.

@@Kevkoss Is there no 'this is a hero unit; make it immune to one-shot attacks' flag in SC1?

​@@macdjordthere is indeed no such flag

@@macdjordNo, you expect too much from 1998/99 game ;) Even in original BW campaign you can one-shot Fenix with Queen in True Colors. Also Spawn Broodling is the only one-shot attack anyway in SC1.

@@Kevkoss The fact there's no flag specifically for enemies isn't particularly surprising, but I'm surprised they didn't need to add one to protect the player's *own* heroic units in the campaign. Do you just never face an AI zerg player with the attack on any mission where you have a hero?

While funny, that doesn’t seem so botched tbh. The Overmind is the “brain” that is “above” the whole Swarm.

@@danielbrown001 it’s about on par with updog

Not even the Overmind liked Zasz. Screw that guy.

That was always dumb. The least they could have done was given him a bigger hangar.

PS:. Also yeah, people really like to pan the Amon, Xel'Naga and Hybrid thing in StarCraft 2 thing for being bad writing but this has always been the plot from the very first game. A lot of the story elements in StarCraft 2 are just conclusions to things foreshadowed and set up in SC 1 and Brood War. Even the Overmind creating Kerrigan for a specific purpose unrelated to the Protoss thing is very much implied. I believe at the very end of Brood War, Kerrigan even mentions that the reason why she will withdraw the Swarm for a while is to strengthen it to prepare against the threat that is yet to come. That's also why she tries to destroy the databanks, because while she doesn't know the whole story, she knows who Narud is and that he works for that mysterious threat. It's just that she wasn't entirely free of his influence until she was freed of the link by the Keystone.

that would just cheapen the victory. this mission is literally life or death, why would you keep a big attack wave just sitting off the map waiting for your friends to die before you send it in? that's silly.

To clarify, i think having an ai ally that was too good actually detracts from the level, its best somewhere between raynor and like a hard level ai.
