    If this video gets 41k likes I will make a firebomb mod so Lemon can beat the first campaign entirely with firebombs.
    Shouldn’t be too hard for me to make in a few afternoons.
    EDIT: Forget the likes, I’ll do it anyways

  • @MyNamesJeff493
    @MyNamesJeff493 2 місяці тому +86

    The funny thing is, there is a fairly recent mod for the campaign called Perpetual Randomizer where each unlockable unit is randomized into a unit from specific pools (marine can be a marine, zergling, zealot, elite marine, etc) and it just so happens that one of the marine replacements are the firebomb throwing civilians.
    So this run is ACTUALLY TECHNICALLY POSSIBLE. No anti-air for the entire game might be rough, but hey, I saw GiantGrandGames do worse!

    • @Padsoldier
      @Padsoldier 2 місяці тому +4

      Also, even without modding in Civilians, it's possible to beat most missions in the game by only ever killing things that are targeted as main objectives, so as long as you believe strong enough that a later mission might have a unit with firebombs, you can keep pushing forward with what you have, only using them for the absolute minimum in order to complete missions. (According to GiantGrantGames' Wings of Liberty Pacifist run, only the final mission (All In) and the first Protoss side mission (Whispers of Doom) are impossible in practice even on Normal difficulty.)

    great video and great april fools fun but if you are interested in an actual fire bomb related run in sc2 (related as in some of your other challanges, bombs are bomb) the reapers throw bombs are buildings. and some other units also work with mines or bombs, so Id love to see you give a try to a bomb run. I think it could be possible and fun, once the repear is unlocked 4 or so missions in. none the less love ya Lemon ❤
