It was so funny watching this and knowing exactly what triggers Oranges dragons and watching him just bang his head into the wall again and again
Is what triggers Orange's dragons attacking orange?
@@FalconPaladin its actually building count. I'm sort of surprised he didnt recognize it because its the same one used in starcraft. Once an enemy has i believe its one building left all remaining units just get guven the attack command. You can have the same experience in mission ten of the terran campaign with red. Kill reds main base and then finish off any straggler missile turrets around the map and then all the battlecruisers at the ion cannon just bee line to your base.
@@alexmacdougall5700 Good to know, thanks for the explanation!
I've found myself watching these Warcraft II videos wishing Sean was a worse RTS player. His mastery of macro means he is able to easily brute force all the missions due to having massive income and production capabilities. Not seeing him use the Death Knights or Wizards vast array of spells or build a variety of different units to counter the forces he is up against means people who have never experienced Warcraft don't see so many of the things that made it such fun.
Yeah, polymorphing dragons out of the sky is one of the great joys of that mission. Particularly over the water, where you even get a bubble animation for the drowning sheep.
@@Pierre-gk5ky Oh dude, I didn't know about the bubble animation and polymorphing over water, that's amazing 😆
2:40:32: The gryphon rider killing one of his pals just after the Dark Portal fell was just perfection.😅
Thanks for the laughs Sean. The whole segment where you're struggling on the last mission and barely stabilizing before being on the edge of defeat moments later was hilarious
Sean "One Shot" Plot: Talks about how much he loves one-shotting things, then completed the Human campaign without casting Polymorph a single time. You hate to see it. Still lots of fun though!
Day9: I'm concerned this last level will just send a bunch of stuff at you.
The Level: *sends 4 dragons* Flyers aren't so weak NOW, are they?!
just take it slow and make some goddamn archers jaysus
The reason Gryphons suck is because Blizzard wanted cool flying units in the game but didn't want to make them a viable tactic for beating scenarios, otherwise you'd ever only build flying units on bigger maps
Joke's on them. My dad and I only ever built flyers anyway. 😂
The save glitch stopped the AI from harvesting lumber on the first mission here. Normally they send a bunch of ships but because you saved early on, the AI was pretty much completely passive. You can see in the score screen that red only harvested 250 lumber lol, which was probably how much they started with.
Gryphons and dragons are the worst, haha. It's pretty insane how much harder they are to control than every other unit in the game.
The last human level has such a brutal start, that's so different from anything else in the campaigns. It just steps up the difficulty so much, and also asks you to do a completely different opener than you've learned in the other levels.
Also, bloodlust doubles your regular damage AND your piercing damage. I'm pretty sure once its all calculated the ogre does x3 damage with that spell.
I was wondering about the ships. I figure it was an ai bug, but didnt know what.
Bloodlust is by far the strongest thing in the game and Day9 is consistently underestimating it.
GG!!!! I was waiting for you to get to this mission. I hope someone makes a compilation of Day9 and Tasteless intermittently cussing at the starting of the last mission. haha
Sean sussing out that at least some of the attacks were trigger-based on only the second attempt of the mission was cool to see. I didn't realize they were trigger based until years later when I was watching a challenge run video that talked about it.
Though iirc it's not the silver dragons that are triggered, it's the black death knights and the 3 orange dragons - orange dragons are pulled when you attack the orange altar and black death knights start being sent when you build north of the first forest.
Still the hardest mission in the base campaign and harder than several in the expansion, but the hidden triggers making it so much harder on yourself by taking an action the game has no way of directly telling you is wrong makes it one of the most BS maps in WC2.
The fucking sign that says "keep out" with a skull on it, is a pretty big, ahem, sign... just saying.
Further more their "hint" that something is up is by the signposts. If you stay south of the sign posts, you do hit the triggers. Which is too WAY too obtuse. Day9 literally didnt even see them.
I always thought the orange dragons were pulled by the general AI rule in WC2 of sending all remaining units at the player when too many buildings were lost.
yet he still clumps up his towers even though that's bad against dragons and death and decay.... lol
Of all the missions in WC2 I remember the last human mission the most. Figuring out how to survive the first landing and swarms of dragons is the hardest thing in both campaigns. Once you secure the 2nd location to the east it's all downhill from there. P.S. having a group of paladins on standby to heal your gryphons makes things way easier!
Always thought mages and polymorph were a good way to take care of the dragons and and back behind paladins attacking the ogres and death knights.
"Does Blizzard hate me?" I think we've all been there.
>blitzes through the orc campaign with bloodlust
>sweats in human campaign against bloodlust
Welcome to 1995 baby! x)
Meanwhile, continuously talks about how Paladins are better than Ogre Magi.
All the farms are on fire!
Of course, we are a fire farm, we specialize in dragon fire.
GG Sean. I remember feeling like a boss when I beat both this and the horde's campaign. These old-school strategy games were no joke. Even Warcraft 3 could be difficult, but this was next level, or at least felt like it when I was a teenager. Yes, I'm kinda old at this point. Oh, and my favourite strategy game phrase is "Power Overwhelming", from exactly the same game as yours.
Lol I'm so glad to see Sean struggling with the last mission. It was the only one I could never complete. Beat all the expansion missions, but could never beat that one even after replaying it like 20 times. I could never figure out how to deal with the Death Knights.
I found Mages really valuable on this level, especially polymorph. Being able to pick off the dragons and any other single unit for basically free leaves a lot more resources for dealing with everything else. A lot of the things I saw Sean struggling with seemed like they would be a LOT easier to deal with if he just used wizards.
If you park a flying machine at the choke leading to black's base death knights will waste their mana casting the tornado spell on it instead of melting all your buildings
@@gumpa1747 Another good strat is to build a sacrificial farm right at the mouth to the narrow pass, by the sign. Farms have a lot more HP and it'll soak the death and decay pretty well. Just have to keep repairing it up periodically. The flying machine works wonders though.
You can blow up forests with the Dwarven demo team btw
It seems like such a cruel setup for supposedly the strongest unit in the game on either side (dragon/gryphon) to lose to a guard tower or a destroyer ship in a 1v1 fight. Like granted, the unit flies which is very useful, but goddamn they build them up sooo much just for you to find out; "oh, these guys literally lose to a single archer in a stone house".
The only saving grace for dragons and gryphons are "heal/invisibility" and "haste/unholy armor". And goddamn when they have those they become nightmares but it's such a frontloaded cost to get to that point.
That being said; it never stopped me as a kid from just using gryphons non stop and sending them back home to get healed to just clear out the entire map. They do what they do well, but you have to control them properly
Sadly controlling them is the most infuriating part. The delay in actually following commands make them lose half their HP to a single archer before you can even turn away or start attacking...
a day 9 binge is what gets me through hard times, you and falcon paladin are why im proud to call myself Dark Swarm! forever a blizzard boy! the orcs dont stand a chance against you bro keep pressing on and keep playing
Ty for doing this and uploading it to UA-cam
And battleships can attack ground. If you can see where the turtle is shooting from, attack ground in that location.
Why is this mission full of air units so hard without any anti air units??? Also, blacks entire army can be killed by a screen of three blizzards from mages, that can also polymorph all the dragons...
And any deathknights are hard countered by exorcism from the paladin...
Super unfortunate that the save glitch triggered on the first mission here so the computer didn't build anything. I remember having a ton of aggression against me when I played this a month ago.
Did it also happen on the last mission since black was not mining at all or producing anything?
The bad news about griffons is they do friendly fire damage.
The good news is they have very weak attacks.
The bad news is they have almost no hit points.
The worst news is that controlling them is impossible at worst and infuriating at best.
They really wouldn't be that bad of a unit if they didn't have this weird delay that also plagues balistas and battleships.
@@schwiggwigg9105 Yeah and atleast with the ballistas and battleships, I kind of like it. like those unit are MEANT to be slow clunky, but high damage unites. On gryphons? it makes no sense,
g. g. Really enjoyed watching this, and your hard-earned triumph!
I think used to patrol a gyrocopter over the water to the east. Then the death knights spam whirlwind and you don't have to deal with d&d and death coil.
gg. I love that both u and Tasteless do the "Gogogogogo" in the same way lol.
I appreciate that both u and he take the maps in different ways and somewhat I can see the BW main races influence on playstyle, you still have excellent mechanics quickly setting control groups, using them for large army movement, and little magic boxing for micro. He crashed pallys down like zealots and used blizz and polymorph with High Temp micro.
I forgot how, but I remember he was avoiding aviaries too like they spread H1N1.
You probably already know this, but for anyone else who doesn't: the Corsair's "It is a good day to die." voice line from SCBW is itself a reference to the WC2 cheat "It is a good day to die" which grants invulnerability :)
Which itself is a TNG reference, since it’s a common Klingon phrase.
And it refers to Little Big Man.
just love the artwork in this game
for the *deeper* kiiiiiiiiing
Day9s refusal to make archers in the final mission was giving me an aneurysm. He made that 30 times harder than it hard to be.
I was expecting him to do the mutalisk scream
1:32:44 I love this music
honestly, griffons seem kinda sick
gryphons? who cares
for anybody interested, in my channel you can find out plenty of new generation WAR2 MODS. Plenty of playthroughs while testing the mods I've been doing since 2020, including playlists with proof of the featues. Please feel free to join the live broadcasts!!!
You should play Beyond the Dark Portal after. The expansion is better, no tutorial missions, heroes, WAY harder.
Gryphons aren't bad. They are counterable sure, but they should be. A Gryphon ought to lose against a destroyer or a tower. On the flip side they can't even be hurt by most of the units in the game.
I think it's a global thing in WC2 that units can't move until their attack cooldown is finished?
18:04 - peak #content
As a kid I remember unlocking a dwarf on a griffin and I only built those and peasants for the rest of the campaign because they were so cool. I kept them stacked and oneshot all approaches. 😂 Keeping them over the wood is also helpful. I also don't recall ever having trouble with the campaign doing that.
next: play some HOMM3 ... my life would be complete.
goodd DAMN the AI came to PLAY
Pretty cool how the last mission was well over an hour even these days
Sean: Dragons are the worst unit in the game.
Also Sean: loses to dragons.
To be fair, when dragons show up before you are even on keep tech, that does make them a lot better. XD
As you wish As you wish As you wish
this unit is so bad, a second later he builds more. True content creatoin
1st one

Dropping the Scat Man Jon, good stuff
