- My first try at Heart of the Swarm Nightmare Difficulty StarCraft 2 Campaign created by Rhyme! I actually didn't like the original HotS campaign much because it was too easy and too Diablo-esque mechanics. I've been told this Nighmare Difficulty mod will change my mind though - can't wait!
Here's a guide on how to play nightmare mode: / wings_of_liberty_night...

35:17 "To send a message sometimes"
So, you are that infamous 4th little pig? Whos house was made of the wolf skulls - it was not very sturd, but it indeed send a message.
50:38 this is the part where PiG realizes that the game wants you to micro Kerrigan aggressively enough that microing other units is actively detrimental. It's why Vipers and Infestors, which are cool units, are so crap in this campaign.
They thankfully fix this for Legacy of the Void
Sarah Kerrigan is by far my favourite SC character.
Well done Pig! ❤
Hi Pig. You have been asking about CIV games... please take a look at CIV 4 - Fall from Heaven 2 (total conversion mod): Amazing Unit and Civ design with powerful religions, magic and heroes. It has very good scenarios as well. Best 4x game IMHO.
alright. Supreme is actually mostly unchanged from the default except for some previously lackluster boss abilities now doing more damage and some other minor details (like the rocks at the endof every section prevent you from just rushing through the non boss parts with kerrigan without engaging any enemy units). the big difficulty here comes from kerrigan being weaker. the mission does give you more combat units to balance it out a bit but previously you could just ignore the combat units and micro kerrigan now you have to keep them alive for at least a good portion of the fight as kerrigan can no longer just solo everything.
For the new kerrigan abilities:
Leaping Strike got nerfed from 150 to 100 damage, leaping strike however got more range to make the ability more useful (it was most of the time just outclassed by kinetic blast)
Psionic Shift got nerfed from 50 to 30 damage and movement speed bonus nerfed from 30% to 15% (the other 15% got moved to heroic fortitude)
Automated extractors is unchanged
Wild Mutation previously gave all zerg units +100% attack speed and +200 Shield, now it depends on unit attributes (note that units like abberations or ultralisks gain both the armored and massive benefits
Mend got nerfed from 150 + 75 over time to 100 + 50 over time. AoE heal for units unchanged. cooldown increased from 10 to 15 seconds. energy cost increased from 30 to 50.
Spawn Banelings now spawns one less baneling and the banelings no longer benefit from mutaions or evolution strain (additionally banelings got nerfed to 20+15 vs light, from 40+40 vs structure)
twin drones got nerfed as the additional drone now costs supply (used to make drones cost 0.5 supply)
malignant creep now no longer benefits kerrigan, otherwise unchanged
vespene efficiency now also reduces vespene cost of tech structures and swarm queens by 50% (this option was just always inferior to the other 2 options so it got a buff)
Been looking forward to an another nightmare mode release! really enjoyed this one too, Pig! Looking forward to the next one! :D
52:43 did Pig call the "Eternal Mother" big daddy?
Tries to solo a boss. Refuses to use the actual damaging ability....
Finally we back!!
Is it me or did they make this mission *easier* ? I feel like you have a lot more units than normal
They did, but the bosses have more everything. The Silvan one (from what I've seen so far) is the worst by far.
@@OKMBVideos I see, I guess it encourages focusing on kerrigan less, the base missions basically is easier if all you do is micro kerrigan and let your units die cause they're only marginal value compared to what you get from good use of kerrigan's abiltiies
Baneling bombs fuck everything up in base campaign.
Man who thought that was balanced.
@@thecoolkid440 to be fair every single spell in that kerrigan spell selection is broken so at least it's an interesting choice even if it is really busted.
Like, yeah you can summon banelings to just bust a bunker for free, but you can also turn your raptorlings into basically mini ultralisks which is ridiculous too (though they seemed to have nerfed that in nightmare mode as we see at the end)
And mend is also really strong cause you can just make a couple torasque ultralisk and they just never die and you can march forward with no diffiiculy.
All those spells are ridiculous but at the same time they're the reward for finishing zerus so I think it's reasonable to give you this power spike from a game design standpoint
@@Laezar1 yea, I guess I'm a sucker for the shock and awe of a pile of splitting banelings. High impact and feels good.
what's with all the bots
Welcome to youtube. The place where porn bots are allowed, but normal comments randomly get deleted.
First comment BABY
I like how Hots proves that RTS is more than just battles and that some or the tedious tasks like base building/management are integral to the genre.
13:51 ... from a guy that is really "good" playing starcraft its close to imposible to no think you are just been stupid on purpose to make people cringe .... not using kerrigan abilities , fighting with your army while kerrigan is afk , constantly borrow and letting units wasting time and damage , using heal when all your units are full hp instead of spaming dashes .... for nightmare this misions are insanelly easy ....
He's good at RTS and this is basically a moba gameplay, not surprised he struggles, heavy micro on one key unit, cycling abilities, focusing on energy management and stuff like that, this is a completely different set of skills from what makes one good at SC2. I can't get higher than plat in SC2 and I don't think I could beat any of the regular nightmare mod missions, but I think I'd do much better than pig on all the hero missions
I look forward to your playthrough on nightmare where you do it better.
@@thecoolkid440 Why ? my point is comparing his usual skills with what he shows in that video and that he is doing it bad on purpose ... what my skills have to do with this ? .
@@deadlyjoz8761 because what you say is inaccurate. He is burrowing to minimize risk to his units because he doesn't want one of them to die. He wastes time because time is not a factor in this mission. He's a bit fast on the trigger for heal because he doesn't want to lose even a single unit.
Then you call this mission insanely easy, and if its so easy let's see you do it. This is where your skills are a relevant talking point.
@@thecoolkid440 "He wastes time because time is not a factor in this mission. "
When i said wasted time i mean time of the unit attacking , not time of the mission... and he lost A LOT of times for that .
"He is burrowing to minimize risk to his units because he doesn't want one of them to die"
No he is not , more than half of the time is just over micro without sense (like borrowing and letting kerringan borrow for a long time while having more than half her health )
"He's a bit fast on the trigger for heal because he doesn't want to lose even a single unit. "
And using heal before the unit is damaged seems coherent to your statement ?
"Then you call this mission insanely easy, and if its so easy let's see you do it"
I dont need to be better or have more skills to see that the mision is objectively MUCH easier than any other mision in this campaing .... but you seems too stupid to understand an objetive opinion (not to mention is the same opinion than most people that played this mod) .
