And on the final missions there are supposed to be dozens of them around Korhal, really puts into perspective how robust the terran defences were when it took kerrigan personally going down and making a hole just to get a foothold.

RIP John Bain. He was, as Spiff would say, perfectly balanced.

​@@archapmangcmg He is Dead?

@@Battal_Gazi Sadly, TB passed away several years ago.

@@archapmangcmg Rest in peace then :(

@@Battal_Gazi Cancer is a bitch for sure, we lost him far too young.

That's because Blizzard never gave them the power they're supposed to have. Protoss are supposed to be terrifying. They're the guys in SC who have the "Exterminatus" doctrine, and relevant hardware to carry it out.

Stacraft 1 protoss were pretty terrifying with Reaver drops and Arbiter mass recall. They were really tanky and had shield+armor stacking. Stacraft 2 protoss are just cowards.

If you real scale Brood War protoss, they would be insanely overpowered, from their old Carriers to the Gantrithor to the Arbiters, Reavers, Dragoons. The Terrans would hold no smoke against the Protoss but then again, you can just see how vastly overpowered the Zerg are with sheer numbers when they folded Aiur from Protoss when they were at an era where they almost gave no fucks.

@@VictorrineAurum Well its pretty accurate, Protoss and Terrans didn't have many direct engagements in SC1 and the Protoss could win pretty one-sided before losing Aiur.

the only reason why Terran get to do anything significant is because War on Aiur effectively translates to Toss and Zerg losing most of their power. I doubt even UED fleet has a chance if Toss and Zerg didn't almost go through mutual destruction (Toss was literally reduced to refugees and outcasts and bamboozled so hard that they couldn't even use some of their best weapon. Zerg also naturally lost a lot of troops while killing that many Toss and you can tell how much zerg were left on Aiur after death of Overmind from those feral zergs ruining pursuit of Mengsk by UED and Amon casually dumping billions of zergs in SC2).

hardpoints were added to the gorgon? and to think that thing couldn't get any cooler

I disagree , good things don't need gimicks or plot twists .

Time stamp?

@@shadowpriest2574 Twists are always pleasant, as it prevents missions from just being "Find a way to roflstomp", and instead can keep you on your toes or force you to have to reroute your strategy. Twists don't NEED to be anything dramatic though, simple twists are better for stuff like this. The Nuclear Self-Defense option is a perfect example, it's going to throw a huge hiccup on you, but it's not innately a "Well shit i'm now fucked" moment

@@steeledminer616 I disagree . A well designed campaign trumps any gimicks or twists. There is a reason why Wings is the most moded campaign .....I mean, beyond the fact that you are not powerfull enough to trivialize anything , like you can în LOTV or Heart.

He actually experienced the main flaw of ZvZ when he played Zerglings Only on the Zagara mission. There's actually some sort of "controllable entity" limit, or something like it. When that limit is reached, any unit spawned is uncontrollable and just sits there. Even when you lose enough units to go back under that limit, the ones you spawned during the blackout stay where they are. Not really sure why that wasn't a problem in Infested.ppt, but maybe there's just enough difference between Infested units and true Zerg in programming for it not to be an issue.

@@bluesbest1 If you notice the text messages, it happened in Infested too, but not nearly as much. I guess some infested were mainly the units kidnapped by the engine and just died when the timer restarted.

​@@janejvmmsvictoria5857 this might be because the units produced take up more supply. So in theory a late game zerg fight would mostly avoid this with very supply heavy units being the bulk of the army.

​@@bluesbest1 think its an ability limit, at some point the game cant allocate more so makes units which cant do anything

@@bluesbest1 As I understand it, you typically don't reach a limit of units on the battlefield, you hit a limit of action cards assigned to those units. Each unit you build for yourself gets several different actions assigned to it on spawn, such as "move" "attack" "stop", etc. Those actions may not be used until later, or maybe even never, but they have to be assigned immediately. When you reach the cap, new units just don't get actions assigned anymore, and selecting one shows a blank command card with no buttons. Why is this different with infested? I'm not totally certain, but I would guess that the very simple AI used for infested only requires 1-2 action cards per infested, as compared to the 5 or more for player controlled units. The original campaign designers may even have intentionally built them with a reduced command card for performance reasons on this map, as even the baseline version of the map generates a very large number of infested. So with a much smaller command card, it takes many more infested to max out the limitation on action cards.

Can't blame the poor little thing

@@Xpwnxagethat poor little thing probably killed 20 marines cannon

He has a second channel with daily uploads you know

GayAnalDildo

This was truly the moment giantgrantgames became starcraftberg.

While I also wish he'd upload a bit more to his main channel, there's a lot of good content on his 2nd channel and uploads are daily

hi,again its been like a month since ive seen you

Yup. Anything biological, or mechanical (with a pilot basically) gets one-shot from within. As a kid, I took me ages to find out where they came from lol.

"The Brood Queen's True Colours" True Colours aka the Bullying Fenix mission

RIP every tank, defiler and reaver my queens could see. Reavers ended more of my zerg rushes than I care to admit. Granted it's my own fault for not scouting but that glowing blue/white ball is still anxiety inducing.

I never did, and never will. Fenix lives forever in my heart!

They really are and being lore acurrate is terrifying because it shows you why THEY WERE SO FEARED

Who ever thought like that? Duke was incompetent and dumb braggart. Every time i saw that guy in SC1 and BW i was questioning myself why Mengs saved his ass and even made him his general

@@MsUndertaker99 Oh, Mengsk only wanted the troops. Duke was just the way to get them. He had influence and knowledge that Mengsk needed.

@@MsUndertaker99 In True Color Kerrigan implies that Raynor, Duke and Fenix are competent commanders but Mensk is just a competent polititian. He's not even that in BW though, as he miscalculates what the UED would do to him if they caught him and that Kerrian would hold a grudge. Duke's ok as a general, we play as him in that one mission in vanilla and against him on Char with the zerg where he's got a well defended high ground base with turrets and siege tanks.

@@MsUndertaker99 Kerrigan herself said it while talking about why she was going after Duke instead of Mengsk with the backstab. Can't remember if it was before or after True Colours

@@MsUndertaker99 Duke was always an excellent general throughout the entire franchise. He was an ass, but he knew how to win a battle.

"*sighs* They must alllllllll be eradicated..."

Who needs challenge when you're having that much fun?

in Real Scale WoL, you should have the Hyperion, Bucephalus, and Heraclese as your starting BCs. i think 3 hero Battlecruisers would be fair for fighting a realscale leviathan.

@@F14thunderhawk losing the Hyperion which is extremely important to the plot should be a mission failure. (Or just have it warp out of the battle once it takes too much damage.

​@@kaedenplayz884I would go one step further. We block up your Battlecruiser supply. Every Battlecruiser has a warp drive module. Should it take 60% damage it will warp out to repair for free off screen replacing several damaged weapons components before returning to the map to support you once again. You don't get to pick the repairs mind you. If you needed a Yamato cannon? Sucks to be you. It has a 20% chance to be one of the three picked. Or you could leave the rear vulnerable and have them jump out multiple times in repeat to fully repair all the turrets. It does have to pick three from the damaged collection. So three unique battlecruisers. Which hang around. Find a way to protect them from the scourge on the map. And the Corruptors or defilers. And the warp drive module either needs to be protected to keep them around. Or made vulnerable to get them removed from the map for the next 2 minutes to go get remote repairs. Enjoy.

Everything is going exactly to plan.

Last I checked. That one had a foundation. Not just sitting on the ground. So thats probably a big. Rather than an intended feature. That said. It's probably unpatched because it's a hilarious use of game mechanics and thus far game

@@glenmcgillivray4707ah yes a big

"Um...Emperor? I have some...well, I wouldn't call it bad news so much as strange news." "What now?" "The Zerg, they're...bringing the Psi-Destroyer to their own hive cluster."

@@0liver_Clothesoff "yeah the psi destroyer.......we lost it" "I'm sorry....you....lost...it? "Yeah, it's gone. We lost it." "How do you lose a psi destroyer?"

Problem is SC2 engine limits the size of maps to 256x256 if I remember correctly. But yeah, I secretly dream of giants maps with proper scaling, a la Total War

It's an engine problem for sure. If we're being honest, even a real scale mothership doesn't fit on the biggest map in the game. Yes, you can spawn one and they can fight, but you can't really move them or use them in a satisfying way. They exist above the entire map and things die beneath them until the concentrated firepower of every ranged unit and AA gun on the map manages to take them out. As for the zerg, it wasn't shown in this video but Starcraft 2 actually has an entity limit. At some point, you pass the limit and new units will spawn in completely disabled. Their AI is off, they don't respond to orders, they can't move or defend themselves. They just sit where they spawned in supply blocking you until something kills them. This happened fairly often in the Real Scale HOTS Zerglings Only run Grant did on the second channel recently. The baneling and infested missions were the worst offenders IIRC. Real Scale HOTS already is pushing the absolute limits of the engine in basically every way possible, this is as close to "real" as you can get without Starcraft 3.

There used to be a real scale multiplayer mod being passed around a few years back

​@@Appletank8 yup, while the original is not available anymore, there are 3 re-uploads available, although each of them has their own fair shar of bugs and problems tho.

I'm glad the SC2 team moved on to making Stormgate. They really were being wasted by Activision and the mods we've seen for SC2 show that the engine had plenty of space left to grow and innovate.

What's Stormgate?

Especially, the Salvation

the zerg are actually immune to radiation sickness funnily enough

They may need to set EVERY unit to half or quarter scale for that one, given . i.e. the terrain is essentially 4x bigger than normal, to basically fake having the ability to make bigger maps. Just pretend the trees are all alien redwoods.

@SephirothRyu it's already been made and is available, not expecting many changes as OrcaWarrior has semi retired, plus some of the features in this vid were actually ported from legacy of the void, e.g. the hardp9ints system

They already did

Really? Cool
