When I played this map, I always destroyed both ennemies to the ground before attacking the ion cannon. It's much more time efficient and story friendly not to I know (they're escaping, they'll logically be aiming for the fastest way to get out) but I hated Mengsk and Duke so much I basically needed to see their bases wiped out before moving on. Yet I'm glad you did it the fast way, otherwise we would have had a 60mn video.

Omg, Jayborino, I have been watching you for already 2 full years. For all this time I got to university, got expelled for inappropriate behaviour, got to another university, fell in love, she cheated on me and I got expelled again. I slept for 2 months in the forest so my parents could not know about my second failure. This summer I got to the second university again and it`s all good. But you know what, Jaybo? Whatever shit happened to me, I always watched videos on your channel. You are my favorite youtuber of all times. Great thanks from Russia and good luck in your work.
You know, Arcturus is one I have never truly understand the motivations of. I mean, in SC1 he is a rebel, then sacrifices Kerrigan, which I guess makes sense because she was the ghost operative that murdered his family, then I guess he was evil all along because he the Dominion turns out to be just as bad, if not more, than the Confederacy. Comes SC2, it appears he knows about Amon, which implies he gave Kerrigan to the Overmind deliberatly to make her in the Queen of Blades, and the Dominion appears to be making Hybrids for the Dark God. But then it's implied he is playing a chess game with Narud. I mean, what the hell is Arcturus is all about? Funnily enough, with all this baddies (Arcturus, Narud, Amon, Alarak), in lore the baddest dudes are still the UED...
His motivations, at base, were pretty simple, but nonetheless good for a villain - he wanted power. Specifically, he wanted to rule the Koprulu sector, and he was willing to do whatever he had to in order to make it happen. In SC2, his motivation became maintaining that power. The thing I hate about the SC2 story is his association with Amon, that he basically became his puppet. It really knocks him down as a villain, and I don't think his character should have suffered like that. Really, the Terrans' part in the SC2 story just seemed awful, since they were just caught up in the middle of it all. Only the Protoss and Zerg really mattered, with the exception of Kerrigan (and I hate that she became some chosen one, with a redemption-except-not-really story arc).
@@Draeckon He wasn't allied with Amon, actually; just with Narud. And Narud was manipulating *everybody* in order to resurrect Amon. Arcturus provided Narud with lab materials and support to create the hybrids, under the belief that he would be able to use the hybrids to defend himself if the Protoss attacked in force. (Of course, he was unaware that the humans were the *first* race that the hybrids were going to destroy.)
to me, this is *by far* the most difficult mission until the original Zerg campaign mission 6 ("The Dark Templar"); I was able to turtle in the other macro missions, but the AI here is aggressive on nukes and sending tanks in siege mode at your bases; I learned the hard way that turtling on the first base alone will lead to an attrition from Mengsk's forces using a combination of the two units above. I would even state that it is more difficult than original Protoss campaign missions 9 ("Shadow Hunters") and 10 ("Eye of the Storm"), since there are *four* resource nodes in the former and two resource-rich missions in the latter, and the starting bases for both are rather easy to defend.
Protoss 10 Eye of The Storm is only difficult during the first 20-25 mins where you have to survive the Zerg's Ultralisk and Muta/Gaurdian rush that they send early. Once you get entrenched and get to carriers/Battlecruiser/seige its pretty much GG. Zerg Mission 9 Invasion of Aiur and Terran 10 The Hammer Falls are a bit harder to beat.
i know i was playing this without cheats for the first time like a year or two ago i only made it to the end of the first protoss campaign and did use cheats on really hard missions but for this one i just got some drop ships and ghosts and nuked it in one hit
The Zerg mission 6 is hard only if you use ground forces only. Then the Reavers rape you. You have to use Mutalisks and Guardians in order to beat that mission. There's a reason you unlock Guardians there. I'd rather say that "The New Dominion" is a bigger slap to the face, as in that mission you're still learning the race and Siege Tanks on high ground are brutal against Zerg ground forces. Protoss mission 9 is a joke if you just mass Archons to counter devastating Defiler Plague attacks. "Eye of the Storm" is tough only because you have to babysit the Terran base, as well. Otherwise, it would've actually been easier with Protoss alone. There's so much resources in that mission to help you out.
The way I kinda roleplay it in my imagination was that the commander made some heroic sacrifice and or suicide maneuver to somehow destroy the ion cannon or at least buy some time after the canons destruction for Raynor and the remaining former colonial militia escape. The confederacy was dead the commander made his final resignation.
Fellow Terrans I come to u in awake if recent events to issue a call to reason let us not deny the parrels of our time while we battle one another the tide of a greater threat has turned against threatening to destory all that we accomplished. And I can't fuck Remember most of it etc etc. WE SHALL WIN THROUGH NO MATTER THE COST
Yeah, it was rough going through this mission, personally. As it was the final Terran mission, I wanted to destroy both the SoK and Alpha Squadron bases before massing up and hitting the Ion Cannon, but I had two assaults against the Alpha Squadron base repelled by stimming marines and firebats, ghosts with lockdown, and battlecruiser/goliath packs. That base is a tough nut to crack!
It's still there, they just moved the button for it to the StarCraft tab in the battle.net app. I kinda miss the old swirling planet in the main menu, but at least the editor is still available!
If you want to make maps, don't bother with the base editor. It's honestly not very good. Look up one of the third-party ones, like scm draft, they have a lot more options.
actually you don't need to waste resources building battlecruisers to destroy the cannon. With 3 or 4 groups of terrans as decoys and a vessel to detect cloaked ghosts are enough. Of course you need 2 ghosts with nuclear missiles to destroy the cannon.
I've always wondered, where does the nuke land when a ghost calls it but you kill him. They clearly launch it as the ghost signals the position but then it must land somewhere. It would be fun if by quickly killing a Ghost the nuke falls back down on their own base.
Interesting. I played the mission these days and used a similar tactic. First: ground assault with mech against red, then a drop to the platform (same position ). I used 4 Ships with 3/3 marines and floated 3 rax. This is the best tactic I could find; I think a drop is better than an assault with high tech (battle cruiser) because the platform defends well against that (damn ghosts and EMP). But it is vulnerable against a strong infantry attack.
This actually the mission that I struggled so much like so much ghosts, unexpected heavy attacks and nukes. However, 2 years ago I finally beat it. I beat using Jayborino's strat, and while I was doing that, nuke attacks happen rarely that time and the only place the nukes land is where Jayborino said at 2:46. And years ago, I beaten this but that was the time I used cheats to beat it but years later back in 2020, I finally beat this without cheats.
Yes, this mission is like a cold shower in terms of difficulty. Truly a git-gud type of a mission. Red is only tough if you let him live and get Yamato Cannon. But White is a threat from the start. He has some wicked attacks that alternate between Mech and Bio compositions. And the nukes, of course. The trick is to take another base as soon as you're able and not let yourself get mined out.
Swiirly Thdis It'd have to go to ghosts. The fact that they put the troll face on everytime they lockdown a capital ship and drown in their own laughter as they deal three damage with a fucking b-b gun is too much sometimes.
It depends if your playing as Zerg or not If you are playing as Zerg lockdown is never used. so arbiters are more annoying because a single field can make a group of units freeze
Six tanks 2-3 at home 3-4 strike force 8-10 marine with some goliaths to make up the strike force 6 wraiths for air support vultures for harrassing and baiting the enemy. Maybe 4-6 wraiths for home def with 2-3 goliaths to accompany them. Jim goes with the strike force. No cruisers. SV as needed. 1 at home and 1 on the road is do able. Keep moving while replenishing marines.
Or just mass Siege Tanks and Goliaths, with a couple of SVs for detection. Build missile turrents along the way to Red or White, if you choose to take him out before finishing the mission. Marines only in Bunkers, since you have no Medics here. SC1 Original Terran campaign is a breeze once you unlock Goliaths.
There are 10 missions in the Terran campaign, then 10 in Zerg and Protoss as well. I've shown all the cinematics so far except the very first one just to be able to get started ASAP.
But so far i know we havend seen the reason for the space station blowing up (the arm we saw floating in space.. or am i wrong here? am i mixing up a few of the missions/campains?
There's two unused terran missions. There's also, I think, a mission that was only avaible on the demo (where you got Duke on his siege tank). Jay has the gameplay from the two unused missions on his Total Recall playthrough, and it's basically Raynor and Kerrigan assaulting Tarsonis inbetween Duke assaulting the space platform (Terran mission 08) and Kerrigan's defense against the Protoss (mission 09).
There's a Battle of the Amerigo (Science vessel) cutscene in the Zerg campaign, Qwafel. You might be mixing that into the Terran campaign since the focus of that one is on the Terrans in it.
congratulations you've finished the TERRAIN campaign!

Why is the UED the worst? They dethroned a mad dictator and tamed the renegade zerg.

Actually, if you placed the Factory flush with the bottom Tanks will spawn from the other side and have no chance of getting stuck.
Thanks for this! This level keeps stumping me with the sheer amount of enemies...or the occasional nukes
Anyone notice the Science Vessel unit portrait looks like a more extreme version of the Borg from Star Trek?
I remember spent hours for this mission on Mass Recall trying to figure the best units compositions. Imo mass BC is the best way to do it.
Me: I wonder how long it will take him to realize he still has a firebat.

No kidding, Alpha Squadron puts up a hell of a fight in this mission, no wonder General Duke was so valuable to Mengsk.
The Campaign Editor must be missing in the Remastered edition... damn! :/
It's still there, they just moved the button for it to the StarCraft tab in the battle.net app. I kinda miss the old swirling planet in the main menu, but at least the editor is still available!
Ah, okay. For a sec, I was scared they'd get rid of it.

usually a group of 6 battlecruiser all using the Yamato cannon at the is enough to destroy the iron cannon
I never figured out how to hotkey units and structures for the campaign how do you do that for multitasking
It seems you're about to Drop the Hammer
Centurian128 but if he drop the hammers who will nail it?
But if he doesn't, how will he dispense some indiscriminate justice?
Yuuki SAO-Zekken Asuna Jim Raynor will nail it
irradiate the ghosts is also satisfying
That was… unsatisfying. I hope the story continues with the other races' campaigns.

Support mass Battlecruiser with Science Vessels, they are very good at irradicate ghosts (they don't prioritize vessels)
Hey Jay, if you have a cience vessel with your group of BCs u cant kill the ghost before he can lockdown?
Why does no player ever take out the white terrans on this level?
Waste of time!
there is no reason too
It's all your fault Jim!
I dunno what's more annoying: Arbiters in general or Ghosts' Lockdown.
Swiirly Thdis It'd have to go to ghosts. The fact that they put the troll face on everytime they lockdown a capital ship and drown in their own laughter as they deal three damage with a fucking b-b gun is too much sometimes.
