    This mission is a great example of showing instead of telling. You know Mengsk is kind of broke when he can't field battle cruisers and has to utilize special forces. Altanis throws everything Protoss have, and UED is all about their fleet. It's common for this kind of missions to give every AI character by composition but this is especially good as they're not like "I only make infantry, destroy me with AOE"

    This mission seems to be one of the only ones in Mass Recall that the 'additional heroes' option makes the mission far harder. You get kerrigan, who if she dies you lose. Enemies will sacrifice science vessals to irradiate her in the middle of your base, and she'll get targetted down first. The protoss gets Artanis in a super mothership with Planetcracker, and the terrans each get a super battlecruiser. They can't be killed, respawning after a few seconds, forcing you to clear out the main base areas last so you only need to kill them 2-3 times. They'll also join random attack waves sometimes.

    24:00, I think what happened is that the ramp was blocked by sieged tanks, which count as buildings for the purpose of pathing, and you gave them the order to go beyond the tanks, which is why they tried to go around.

    God this mission is just so good, it really feels like an incredible way to end the game All the previous characters you played as and alongside, you built them up with your own 2 hands, you controlled them as they were betrayed by Kerrigan and now by those same hands you have to murder them all and it starts off with 25 minutes of hell being attacked by 3 incredibly powerful enemies in an extremely exposed position, crawling your way out of your base and all of a sudden just controlling half the map finishing off with an incredible victory lap of cleaning up the remainder commanders. Every other mission always puts your starting position in a corner, both Starcraft 1 and 2, it's a safe haven with predictable attack paths but here you're thrown into the heat of battle with no comfort, or illusion of safety, your only solace is absolute domination. The mission really makes you feel like how Kerrigan is supposed to feel as a character and it's beautifully communicated through gameplay. In my opinion this is the ultimate final Starcraft mission in the entire series both in the sense of the Zerg campaign finale and the Starcraft 1 capstone.
    I think my only gripe with this mission is that it features 2 Terran and 1 Protoss, narratively it makes perfect sense but gameplay wise I wish it was 1 Terran, 1 Zerg and 1 Protoss just to truly give that feeling of total domination over all 3 races, playable wise Mengsk really feels like the oddball in this mission where he feels the most gimped. I don't know how popular of a mission this is to recreate and mod but replacing him with a Zerg opponent would probably make for an incredible mission. But again, this mission is honestly perfect from it's opening to the enemy surrender quotes it hits everything you want it to hit, it's so good.

Basically the reason there is no Zerg enemy in this final mission is because Kerrigan finished cleaning her house in the missions leading up to it so having a Zerg enemy here would nullify all those missions leading up to this one.
      The only way to add a Zerg opponent here in a way that makes a modicum of sense is to bring Samir Duran in with some Zerg that followed him, not knowing he betrayed Kerrigan. However Duran has no qualm with Kerrigan and isn't trying to kill her so him being here wouldn't have made much sense either. Basically the mission is perfect as is with 2 Terran and 1 Protoss considering how all 3 campaigns lead up to this point.

      I'm the guy who balanced this map. I intentionally made the start the most challenging moment in the series, then I worried it would make the cleanup phase feel tame in comparison, but testing showed that it rather was the opposite. You get bullied so hard in the first part that pulverizing the rest of your enemies is just sweet revenge. It also fit really well narratively: the Zerg are caught off guard and it looks like the Allies could almost pull it off, but then they don't and you get a roaring rampage of conquering Zerg who re-establish dominance for good. Most of the credit goes to the Blizzard designers, of course, but I am super happy to still read, a decade later, that we nailed the atmosphere on this one.

      Well, her motivation is still a big question, why does she want total control the zerg and what will she do after she achieve the goal?
      And while she's a good character, she's not a good zerg character, especially not a good representative of the race.

      @@ThanhLe-ti8nx Not a good Zerg character? She's the perfect Zerg character! Molded by the Overmind itself and eventually succeeded it, being stronger than the Overmind and anyone else could imagine. Why does she want total control of the Zerg? Because she saw first hand how harmful it is to have a divided race, being Mengsk lieutenant initially and fighting against the Confederacy. This notion was than reinforced by being the prized pupil of the Overmind who controlled all Zerg initially and fought tooth and nail to keep is so when the Terrans tried to interfere. What will she do after? I don't know, what does any other character do after? None of them have clear paths moving forward, in that sense SC2 received a pretty clean slate to choose the paths of all the SC1 characters that survived, and some that didn't too(Tassadar, Fenix, etc).

    You definitely played through the best way in the original Brood War, hitting Artanis, Dugalle, then Mengsk, as Artanis gets an insane DArchon/Reaver/Carrier count if allowed to max. However it's a great time turtling with Lurker/Hydra/a million spore colonies, then rushing Guardians/Devourers to hit Mengsk with a Air Zerg death ball. From there I go Infested Terran against the Protoss. People seldom use these three units, as they arent seen in multiplayer but they're incredibly strong in campaign.

    The ramp you mentioned @24:00 was blocked by the tanks, so, since the lings couldn't get down throught the closer ramp, they went the long way.
    On a side note, related to the Legacy of the Memes, I was thinking about a Carrier that doesn't spawn Interceptors, but Queens, that attack with spawn Broodlings, only it's not Broodlings, but Firebats.

    I figured out why your game has looked so much easier. By using some of the custom options for more heroes and hero abilities, the missions are much harder to compensate. On this mission you get Kerrigan but all 3 opponents get hero units and hit you much harder, timing with the heroes too.
