    I did comp[lete the prologue, but it was both boring and didn't fit well with narrative of explaining units in the LOTV campaign, additionally many of the units are different than their LOTV counterparts, making things confusing to explain.
    Deathless Legacy of the Void is more about near-invincible death armies on both sides smashing into eachother, compared to Wings of Liberty's scrappy action and Heart of the Swarm's overpowered Kerrrigan. Topbar use is more important than army composition and movement.

    • @Laezar1
      @Laezar1 3 роки тому +25

      @@nihilvox I think if that's a thing then it's probably not a game design choice, it's probably that they save ressources by having simplified version of AI's run when unobserved.
      Or even more likely, that hitbox and collision are loaded as simplified version leading to differences in fight simply because the units interact differently and are basically slightly different units.
      But then again it might just be confirmation bias as you said.

    The game does do a lot of optimizations when you're not looking at the battle. I'm part of a custom community where the map we play on is prone to framerate drops due to tons of enemies appearing all at once - it's a well-known trick among us that you can basically double the FPS by looking away while the battle is going on and then coming back once some of the enemies have been cleared. These optimizations are probably responsible in some way for why the battle doesn't go your way only when you're not looking at the action.

    Really impressive how you handled Artanis in Essence of Eternity. Would never have thought of that.

    At 24:55 you go from 200 supply to 196, I think you lost a void ray D:

      Look at control group 2. Went from 15 to 14. and a void ray cost 4 in supply. So yes indeed he must have lost a void ray.

      yeah, but in the final score screen it shows 0 losses. So it must be an editing error, he showed the wrong game in the footage
