I did not. Q1 i guessed reavers & spider mines Q2 i guessed that it retains the parasite (same as how they keep the plague) Q3 I guess all of them, since they're spells not attacks ;)
Concerning the first one, I guessed reaver and carrier; about the secondo one, I guessed that Archon doesn't get the parasyte in any case (I thought of it as a new unit regardless of the templars' condition); for the third one, I guessed all the mentioned abilities deal damage (beiing abilities and not "ranged attacks").
Crazy that people still play this game after so many years. I played at a pretty high level... around A rank, but it's crazy that there's still new players coming in, in the foreign scene, after watching content like this. I tried to get into Stormgate but it's just not the same as Broodwar or SC2.
Could you share some of your perspectives on Stormgate, if you don't mind? You said it's not the same. Why does it fail to deliver in your opinion? I apologize in advance for being brazen, but it is pretty rare to have a chance at asking this kind of stuff to someone actually qualified to have a meaningful opinion. Have a good one.
@@Compulsive_LARPer I'm just some gamer but yeah.... It just failed horribly. Like in every way and metric. Graphics are worse than Broodwar, which is 26 years old. Sprites are bad, designs are bad, Sound effects are bad, animations are bad, creeps make no sense, the lore is just kinda lame, it just doesn't sit right with angels and demons in space. That's just concept and art. Then it's just like all slow and ZERO innovation at all. Very basic style of units, with no exciting moments at all. On top of that the balance is way off. Creeps also make no sense for the game and there's way too many of them. It just isn't it. They did a few good things like the top bar abilities and the races functioning very different, like broodwar. That doesn't make up for everything else.... like charging for early access. Not to mention the game is not optimized and it crashes, lags, ets. Hopefully they fix it but I highly doubt it.
That was a really good video, technically correct and detailed with edge cases like splash damage from missed siege tank shots on burrowed lurkers below dark swarm.
This is the best Starcraft: REmastered explanation channel ever, giving in-depth analysis in different game aspects! Thank you so much for your edition and devotion to this fantastic game! ^^
Few things: 1) What do you define as a frame in SC1? I ask at fastest speed, Starcraft runs at approximately 24 frames per second (more like 23.8). Feels like more along tick damage. Somewhat Important I didn't see: BOTH units are "Medium" units. This is important because majority of units that attack Air deal explosive damage (which is 75% damage to queens). Other units such as Dragoons or Siege Tanks also only deal 75% damage to Defilers too. (I believe Queen is only medium air unit in the entire game). EDIT: Corsairs are also a medium air unit (their shields will still take 100% from everything). Other Stats: Queen has a Sight range of 10. Defiler has a Sight range of 10. It also takes up 2 out of the 8 available slots in a transport unit (such as Overlord). Other rare things: - Queen Infest Command Center is actually the Queen's Attack. This simulates auto-cast ability (only other unit is medic as far as I'm aware). This means if Queen is near an ENEMY command Center that is 50% or less health, it will auto-cast this ability onto it. (This is a "acquisition" range of 8) - Certain Queen abilities can apply to Structures, however aren't castable on them. You could Spawn Broodling Kill a Drone that transformed into a structure if the projectile was fired before hand. - Infested Terrans are pretty for a lot of reasons, but I would argue the delay in their attack is the largest issue. Infested Terrans will often lock onto a target. When it attempts to attack them, there will often be a minor delay and that delay can often be enough to kill the infested terran (In SC2, the baneling just instantly connects instead). - Defiler can only consume Zerg units (so can't consume a Marine of Zealot in MC instances). - Defiler consume can be casted on Zerg Eggs/Cacoons but doing so will NOT refund the minerals/gas you put into building/morphing the unit. However, you CANNOT consume a Zerg Larva (so no free consume energy there). Something not worth testing: Consuming a drone while it morphed into a structure (will it just cancel the consume, or will it kill the structure?).
Been playing this game since 1998 (mostly pro in custom matches against maximum 1 Computer enemy) and even I - imagine that - didn't know all of this. Well done. Also - the koreans screaming PLAAGGUUE at the end is worth its weight in.... red goo.
This is top tier material, very nice vid! Earned a suscriber. I know just one fact that wasn't covered here about the Queen... A High Templar's hallucination of a Queen actually CAN infest a Command Center too!
@@StarCraftExplained Too many ideas even. Like: - Terran / Protoss spellcasters - units tierlist - most played unit compositions and why they are popular - hardest unit counters - same unit in SC1 vs SC2 (like your Ghost video) - easiest units to use (for new players) I could try listing more, but I think that's enough for now. The challenge is picking which one first. I'd say pick whichever you'd like to make the most, that should result in the best video.
Fun fact: The units unaffected by Ensnare is, as far as I know, because of a bug - some mods for the game fix this bug, buffing Ensnare in the process by making it effective against more targets.
Drone actually disappears when you build an extractor (unlike other buildings). The one coming out when you cancel it is totally new one. That's why its debuff, kill count, hp is reset to perfect state.
@@StarCraftExplained yeah, it is a totally different and new drone. For every other buildings, drone keeps its hp and kill count because it is the same drone. So you can utilize this system by building extractor with your scout drone to regenerate all hp when it has low hp.
8:20 Interceptors, because their attack speed is faster than their roll. But their roll gets slowed as well. Hmm.. Scourge, Scarab and Infested Terran I guess, since they attack only once anyway. Mechanical, you say? Spider Mine and Reaver. 12:40 Ah damn. I could have guessed that. Fun fact: You can make a custom map where siege tanks and goliath can attack while on the move. It's pretty cool. 13:12 It will keep the parasite. 20:48 These are ablilities. Those aren't weapons. Imagine missing Lockdown while firing it up a cliff. All of them will hit. I have a feeling that you didn't lie about anything this time. Hmm.. Good job. Rewatching this I gotta say that you are smart for knowing how stupidly fast interceptors shoot. You can't learn that while playing normal game.
I'm so stupid. This entire time, I thought ensnare just slowed down the enemy. Never knew it slowed down attack speed by 20%. Honestly, in such fast paced action and with how little I used queens, I never paid attention.
You didn't mention the Defiler has a massive sight radius, that remains while burrowed, so it can do passive recon until it has enough energy, then harass.
I hate Defilers more than anything else, and I use Dark Archons to get rid of those bastards. Luckily, in a defended Terran base, a Defiler will easily be cut down by Siege Tanks before it could dump its toxicity.
Yeah they are so op. At least Dark swarm can be fought off on a lower level with a few HT and a few zealots / archons even a reaver. Terran can't do sht except make fire bats that barely kill 1 lurker. Plague is better vs protoss tho
The defiler is no lobster, it's a megalograptid eurypterid! Google that and you'll believe me lol Although the most "basic" association would be a scorpion I guess, but the devs themselves seem to want to push the idea that it resembles a silverfish.
@yanghan9816 there is a difference between mechanical unit and robotic units. Tanks are mechanical but they have a biological dude inside which can be the host for a brooding.
Just a suggestion : I'd rather have a human do the narration, even if you have an accent. Unless you have a super-heavy accent that is barely understandable (like heavy Indian accent where the pronounciation and enunciation is very off), it is far better than the obvious AI voice. Usually when I hear a video with an AI voiceover in a UA-cam video I immediately skip it because I don't want to support AI tools for UA-cam content creation. Heck, having an accent for your voiceover can be charming and iconic. While I don't understand spanish, just by taking a look at your main channel I can tell that I'd rather prefer your real voice, including the accent, than an AI voice.
@SmoKKz0r I don't see Protoss winning Imposible games vs terrancause they have 1 HT with a storm. But yeah, storm might be top 3 best spells in the game
if youre still using marines as terran against zerg and they have hive tech, you are playing terran wrong. The marine is not a good unit, only in sc2 is the marine viable late game unit. i see too many terran on ladder and tournaments spamming them and then losing
u talk about the defiler "does have 1 armor" as if it means anything, lmao in a sizable group yes, armor makes a difference. When you're a caster, who's usually a few if not alone, and the enemy probably will try to pick you off by overkilling, 1 armor might as well be 0.
Did you guess the trivia questions? Let me know down here!
I did not.
Q1 i guessed reavers & spider mines
Q2 i guessed that it retains the parasite (same as how they keep the plague)
Q3 I guess all of them, since they're spells not attacks ;)

Only the second and third. First one got me!
guessed reavers and siege mode tanks, i was about 25% correct with Q1
second one i guessed that it is purged
third i thought all of them
Carrer and reaver I guess?

oof
I would like to add that the Zerg Queen has the best sound set of all units ^^
I love how arthosis is the face of starcraft 1 spellcasters.
He has such charming reactions, but only when his faction, Terrans are involved.
This is exactly what I was looking for. Looking forward to more vids
Great videos dude! Love when people create different content for broodwar :)

Keep em coming.
1. Reaver and Carrier? Could also be Siege Tank in siege mode.
2. Archon retains the Parasite from 1 Templar.
Plague on Terran building does not alarm players so you can use it as slow atomic bomb.
Yeah that's a good one!

I'd throw Total Annihilation in there too
very good, tks a lot!
i think you should mention instacast for plague and somewhat delayed cast for ensnare
8:20 Interceptors, because their attack speed is faster than their roll. But their roll gets slowed as well.
Hmm.. Scourge, Scarab and Infested Terran I guess, since they attack only once anyway.

13:12 It will keep the parasite.

You didn't mention the Defiler has a massive sight radius, that remains while burrowed, so it can do passive recon until it has enough energy, then harass.
Just like the King and Queen chess pieces.
17:51 Not if you put it like that. Spear of Adun abilities are still called abilities.
Pretty sure both ensnare and plague on zerg units will reveal them when they burrow. Has to be applied beforehand
Sc1 casters were completely absurd and only held back by controls that made them unusable in any quantity >.>

Interesting that you didn't mention that a hallucinated queen can infest a command center, unless i missed it.
I chosed not to, cause its gonna be on my "Templars explained" video
broodlings energy cost must be reduced to 125, so a full charged and energy-upgraded queen can destroy 2 tanks in a row
@TheDiegomula I think that would be too much. If I had to buff queen I'd give it a bad but long range autoattack
@@StarCraftExplained give all casters a bad ranged auto attack.
