So...the SC1 Goliath AI...in SC1, pathing was determined by the size of a unit's sprite instead of a consistent hit box like in SC 2. Goliaths and Dragoons (and to a lesser extent, zerglings) had different sized sprites for each animation frame, so if you told them to go through an area that was even a little narrow they'd reassess their path literally every frame of movement and would derp around in circles. This would get worse the more of them you had in a group because they actually accounted for the movement of nearby allied units in their pathing routine. Trying to get Dragoons up a ramp was a test of skill. Getting any of these units up a staircase doodad was impossible.
43:33 there's two quotes you're trying to put together: "Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade.", and "Monstrous size has no intrinsic merit, unless inordinate exsanguination be considered a virtue." Both voice lines show up when landing crits on large enemies.
You can explore the whole map by move commanding dragoons/goliaths to the enemy base. Later games with an auto explore feature probably just took the pathfinding ai of dragoons and assigned it to a button.
If I may do that plug you mentioned: Broskof starts at 10am EST. He mainly does project zomboid but Tuesday and Friday are starcraft days, usually we’ll do about four hours or SC2 with a mix of co-op and Direct Strike. Rewatching that game 1 I was screaming at myself ‘get a blackhammer and a sky fury!” And game 2: Man I wish I had any other aura, life did nothing. Also I was trying to teach our mengsk how to mengsk midgame without being rude.
"Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade." Narrator says this sometimes when there's a big body on the enemy team. Because we see big boi in the enemy squad, probably gonna shank 'em anyway.

That was a fun one to watch. WP to all the players.
Not getting the jump for the volatile civies was kinda triggering :P

I though heroics can't be grounded.
@@remliqa They have a greatly shortened time
@@misspurdy27288 3 seconds I believe
Soooo your aleksander nuked their nexus when it fell down >_>
You could of fungaled it and tanked it to death then your apoc would of been able to munch it too.
Prodigious size is of no consequence
Probably, IDK.

Prodigious size alone does not dissuade the sharpened blade
