    The reskin of this mod is amazing, in a mech war like this it really shows the technological advantage UED has over every other Terran fraction.
    Although I don't know if Nerazim having every Protoss unit is a good idea, it's weird to see things like dark carriers and dark reavers.

    Do you remember when you built an armory in the middle of the map in the mission supernova during wol deathless and accidentally got ground weapon attack instead of plus 1 for your banshees? Maybe you are subconsciously trying to compensate for that by getting air attack every mission xd

  • @rock1145
    @rock1145 2 роки тому +14

    I like the experimental nature of Brood War's missions. You get more choice, and more unique objectives than wiping the enemy out or killing a specific unit. Battle of Braxis and Dylarian Shipyards are neat puzzles, requiring the player to chip away at a massive defense with only a few special units. Return to Char lets you choose which route to attack to complete it. This mission I feel Blizzard was feeling out how choice could work in Starcraft, and you get to attack one enemy base to disable one enemy high tier unit next mission which changes your strategy completely. In the Zerg campaign you can make the mission a little harder by infesting the Command Centers instead of destroying the, and next level you get Infested Terrans (Also a ton of resources so you can blast off rather quickly). I feel they were really trying to see what was possible to pull off in an RTS and I appreciate that.

    • @enriquevigo1746
      @enriquevigo1746 2 роки тому +2

      Curiously, Blizzard did include that type of puzzle-like missions in SC2, but not in the campaigns. Instead, in those challenge scenarios you can play to better your spellcaster control. Not including them in the campaigns was a conscious choice by Blizzard, no idea why, maybe to have a more simple, straightforward single player experience.

    I played through versions in Brood War and honestly I felt the nuke path was easier. All you have to do is get a tower on your supply line and sweep around your army when they launch a nuke, they cannot destroy buildings so it's not a big deal at all. Battlecruisers have more fighting pressure.

    They ended up teaming up against me, but my higly mobile mutalisk army was intercepting all of their attacks because i could see them coming from a mile away with the tumors. and little by little i was destrying their resources, chipping away at their bases. Definitely wouldn't have worked if all three of us knew what they were doing. But it's the all vs all turned 2 vs 1 was the most fun i've ever had playing the game. talking to them after the match, they thought i had the whole map covered in units, then i show them the recording of the match.

    I've always found the nuke path far easier. Battlecruisers actually need to be fought, but nuking ghosts can be easily killed while targetting. Have a missle turret around any defences and that's enough to nullify them pretty much entirely. A couple of scans or science vessels as a backup.

    When you first start playing starcraft you have to play five matches that decide which league you belong in. I won 2 matches (with sheer luck), lost two matches (because I didn't know what I was doing), and got disconnected once (because thunderstorm). Now I'm a pretty inexperienced and generally bad player. I would say I belong in silver league. *The thing decided to put me in master league.* Please help. I can't win a single match. Ranked is hell. I'M pretty sure I'm down a league or tow already but I can't tell because I haven't played for so long. I don't want to get repeatedly owned. Not just because it's unfun but also because I feel like every last player I battle is judging me.

    That ending cutscene was awfully out of place. Stukov never would've come all the way down there to address the captain face to face in front of his men. He's more the type of a guy that opens the channel, stating something trivially obvious in a slightly bored manner from his cruiser's bridge in the orbit, to give his minions a little pat on the shoulder, but at the same time reminding them that they're only cogs in a much bigger machine.

    I'd dispute that blink stalker is something that only gets good in master. It's very dominant in low league protoss play because it's hard to micro wrong and unlike other highly microable units like disruptors or phoenixes or something it still works fine on an a-move command even if you mess up some blinks. A protoss player fresh out of campaign can make it into gold very easily on nothing but blink stalker and good macro - that's what I did anyways.

    Is the UED captain canonically a woman? The wiki doesn't say.
