This was the toughest mission so far for me too, the AI will always Nuke on a target and never on the ground so that's a good strategy to limit what nukes can do. Gas was the limiting factor for me this mission so I opted to play safer with my tanks.

I just finished this campaign. It's overall quite good, but I definitely have some criticisms. I think they're similar to what this guy is saying in the comments. One thing he mentions that I strongly agree with is units appearing randomly is frustrating. The player should be able to look at the production facilities and the objectives and have a pretty good idea of what units they might face. When a bunch of stuff just appears randomly on the map, that's quite frustrating for the player. ie: mission 14 I think? Is insane. I killed the protoss in the top left, expanded there, and then randomly a clump of CHIMERAs just appeared on top of the nexus lol. I beat it and it's fun, but the difficulty is a bit inconsistent. The maps that are designed around microing a small number of units are the most fun IMO and the most well balanced. The maps where you macro can be very very easy (like this one) or insanely difficult, and kind of cheesy/unfair like mission 10 and 14. Overall it's fun and well made, but I would avoid mechanics where units spawn from nowhere without warning.

@@bleepbloop6234 Thanks for playing it all :) Using triggers is my best option, this is not a mod. I would like to put my own production AI on all the enemies but it's not possible. Maybe in 30 years someone will make my campaign into a mod xd

Thanks for the update, I will download the new maps.

@@nexot2554 Triggers aren't the issue though. In the example I gave, mission 14, the trigger for the CHIMERA spawn seems to be linked to the protoss being totally eliminated from the map, rather than the destruction of a particular building. If I go to the spawn point and destroy the nexus then build my own nexus on the empty base, the trigger should be deactivated so that 20 hero units don't appear inside of my base. The Torrasque doesn't have the same problem though. If I destroy the mutated hatchery, the Torrasque stops spawning. So why not use the same solution for ALL hero unit production? You have a solution, and you've implemented it, just not consistently. Make the units spawn out of the warpgate in the top right of the map, and then put them on an attack path, or set the trigger to the destruction of a particular building which is well protected. Do not make units pop up on a random spot on the map, particularly inside of a mineral line that the player is likely to expand to.

This is one of my favorite UMS maps! Uelter made a masterpiece! This map actually spawned an entire series of maps (like 50+) and is considered it's own genre in the Korean UMS scene.

​@@hamsterkosterI can't get over how it's such a cool blend of an epic fantasy + strategy + RPG. The quests are imaginative too, love the sudden 5 liches. And the small things like items, everything just comes together so nicely. Gonna spend the week looking up youtube for more 왕의기사 Zero content :D

Oh well guess we get to see how the cutscenes bug out then, I think in this mission it actually made the last part harder lol.

This is definitely on the more silly side and probably made to be more of a proof of concept with the custom graphics.

Ultraviolet also made a Mercenaries III that might be worth checking out!

The AI is much weaker with the guardians missing, I think it messes with their attack pattern or something. They kept sending mutalisks to die one by one in the updated version, so even though AI spend more money overall it was easier. I don't think I saw a single ultralisk either., the attack script must get stuck by trying to to do a guardian attack but being unable to do so. Also RNG on the attack paths make a huge difference, good thing you nerf the map otherwise would not be fun to play. I tried to play this older version normally but had too little gas to get enough high templar/dragoons, and got overrun by the ultralisks + hydra wave after losing too many cannons to guardians so I just figured out this easier cheese strategy, but turns out AI spamming hydralisk and sitting at home is more difficult than AI suicidng only mutalisk one by one.

Oh I didn't even realize, looking at minimap I can see the Terran map 3 inside of it, should be interesting.

Ah okay good to know. I looked at triggers and I think what happened was the since the data disc trigger is before the khaydarin, but in my game Khaydarin was ahead, when the probe was removed it removed the probe carrying the khaydarin and not data disc since triggers impact units left to right, and that must have reset the powerup back to it's original location.

Oh wait just looked up ProMapperX, probably not Korean. My b 😅

Pretty neat for a non korean map

Only seen a few maps use this tech... 2 horror maps, this silly map, and a racing map.

Haha AI got a good nuke on me, couldn't see the nuke dot on my red tank.

This is a hard campaign, I find some of the missions much harder than pocho's hard campaign map, you'll want to take your time, and maybe even check out the map ahead of time. I don't care much for no build missions but I am looking forward to see how you tackle some of the later macro missions.

Ah okay, so I should assume missions with the lazy terrain was stuff you made when you were younger, and if the terrain is better you updated the map or made it later, good to know. I still think elite variants should be different colored unless all units are modified, because it's not clear and i ended up taking more damage than I could've because I only send a few units to deal with it thinking those were regular goliaths or wraiths, and I really don't like having the click on every unit to check if it's the hero variant or not. I wasn't expecting Olympus so I had no anti air, good thing Kerrigan had lockdown to buy me some time.

Oops, then, you are going to suffer when you face the Chimera class goliaths xd

@@nexot2554 Haha I guess I'll have to find out when I get there.

Cool, good map, impressive you made this without scmdraft. I like the twist at the midpoint, but I think it would've been better to use map revealers and have all the defense spawn in at once on the way back to the beacon, rather than have enemy spawn in when Duke walks over a certain area. You can see Jim Raynor just ran all the way to the beacon because there was no enemy, then like 10 seconds later when Duke goes to an area Jim Raynor just runs past the enemy units just spawn in, pretty jarring experience. Also I don't think there was enough time to set up a defense, not clear if bringing duke close to the bottom triggers their counter attack earlier, but if you spend a lot of troops taking out the Icarus base and don't have many units left over, I don't think a player can set up a defense and have a force to escort Duke safely in time. So I think it would be better if you reveal the enemy has set up defenses in the way back and then put a timer indicating when the enemy counter attack begins.

Haha you are a trooper, I will give detailed feedback on SEN and my thoughts as I get through the campaign.

Thank you, I'll be watching your hard campaign playthrough as well to see how you approach some of these missions. I'll keep an eye out for your version of this campaign!

I think my only critique of the map is no heroic drones. Missed opportunity 😉

We play as the NRF which fought against the Taliban, so most people would consider the player side as the good guys. This is a simple map even with all the EUD changes, so it feels like a modern version of one of the old defense/survival style UMS maps you'd play in the past.

This is good to know, thanks!

You're right, most of the non macro ones are just too easy, I prefer the macro gamestyle anyways so these were just done for completionist sake. I don't recall anything special about patriot's blood so your hunch is probably right. Funny how battle of braxis is the most challening, in reversed it was super interesting too, probably something about it not being in installation tileset so air units/buildlings allow for more challenges.

Wow that's amazing, you really worked hard ! Thank you.

I remember there being a good amount of 'running' maps but they were a LOT more basic (like running with observer). I played a couple like back in like 2007 so I don't have them anymore and don't fully remember the name. This def best running map though haha. SC2 has a couple too that are very very similar (Polar Shift 2 I think is the name)

Yes, first time I beat the time with over 5 minutes remaining to get the bonus map, but I wanted to full clear map so retried to see if I could do it.

Yes, I would translate this to English if map wasn't protected but it's protected, oh well.

Thank you for the kind words, the hero guards definitely make pushing easier, mission 6 zerg exp didn't have any guard heroes and I was confused lol, made pushing more challenging. And hope you're doing well, I never even realized you were the one that made those coop campaign maps back when we played together lol. Thanks for not doing a lazy insane AI edit and for encouraging macro gameplay.

It's a limitation of starcraft maps, if the map is finished too early (I think within the first 2 minutes?) it will always end in a draw even with a victory trigger. Map goal is to have the HQ survive, it's actually quite tough and this was done after many attempts. I want the videos searchable by the name of the map and I'm my goal is to archive play throughs/walkthroughs of different UMS maps rather than grow the channel or even make a good viewing experience (I legitimately don't expect anyone to watch an entire video, especially the hour long ones, only skim to find relevant parts or get an idea of what the map is like) so I haven't really bothered with more catchy titles or even any basic editing. Most Korean maps get direct translation unless it fits into a specific genre (e.g. there is an entire category of maps from Korea called 마린키우기 or marine raising as a direct translation, but it is better known as Marine Special Forces outside of Korea). There is a severe lack of UMS map recordings outside of Koreans and while the community of UMS enjoyers is small I still want that information available for someone out there if they ever need it. Many times we play a UMS map and get stuck but some random Korean dude recorded a playthrough so we were able to watch the relevant part and get past the part we were stuck on (or find out the map has some overpowered hidden cheat and you need that to win....) Also I thought about recording with commentary but I realized my mic sucks, playing while commenting is actually more difficult than people give credit for, and I'm sure people don't want to hear my bad voice anyways. It takes skill and training to do it well!

Yeah I think it happens when you reach 10 units and run out of upgrade options, leaving only armor and weapon as the only options, so i deliberately didn't finish upgrading the last unit. I tried to look at triggers but the EUD stuff was too confusing so I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

It's The War of the three Worlds, available on SEN right? Is it finished? I checked the 3rd folder Consumers but only see 1 mission.

@@hamsterkoster Yes, it's in English, I've resumed the continuation of my campaign. I still need to finish editing two Protoss maps and I'll continue with the Zerg campaign. :D There are a lot of maps to make, but there is already enough to keep you entertained.

@@nexot2554 I will play through the 1st campaign and wait for updates for the protoss and zerg ones!

@@hamsterkoster Oh great, I'll look forward to it. :D

I'm going to retry this mission and see if I can wipe out the entire map, there is a terran base to the north I had to ignore in order to get the requirements for the bonus mission.

@@hamsterkoster interesting, I like to explore.

You should retry when you get the chance, I think comsat is enabled for the mission but you can definitely just manipulate the lurker, AI is really bad with lurkers.

Yes, actually this map isn't protected at all so it looks like all the EUD was done manually, you can actually just open the map and look at the triggers. I think haff the RPG maps I've put on this channel use EUD, super cool tech that really expands what is possible in starcraft.
