45:58 Yeah I gotchu Grant. The word dragoon (which originally referred to the European mounted infantry unit) does probably come from, specifically, the French word dragon. It means exactly what you think it means. The word first popped up at around the early 17th century. The name's origin likely derived from the type of musket they commonly adopted. There also exists conflicting explanations on the 2nd possibility; some claim the name is derived from the dragon head decorations they would fix on the weapons, while a minority derive the name from the weapons' fire-breathing imagery. A small number of sources claim the word was derived from this type of infantry's notoriously draconian disposition toward peasants. This is consistent with the word's verb-form meaning (to subjugate), but the verb-form's first known uses range around the late 17th century, suggesting an expansion of the word's meaning based on its already-existing noun-form definition, rather than the other way around.
For some reason I remembered it thanks to the origin of the name Dracula, which is weird since whilst both derive from dragon they're in different languages. What I didn't know though was what Draconian was derived from, which turned out to be interesting in and of itself. Always wondered why it was called that.

37:00 While correct for the most part, Terran buildings have the building armor upgrade which does apply to bunkers. They also have neosteel frame which lets you increase their damage density, and they benefit from infantry upgrades. Meaning that while zerg buildings get no benefit from upgrades, Protoss cannons get the benefits of shields, and Terran buildings have armor, damage, and damage density upgrades. Also on In Utter Darkness, I'm surprised he didn't grab all his worms at the beginning and re-place them closer in. And surprised he didn't use his bajillion queens to spread creep in his base at all.
These types of videos is what I really like especially when they aren't limited to 20 mins a piece as I am sure no one, and I do mean no one, likes a cliff hanger.
I remember you playing A Sinister Turn on the Stream when you played this before (the one that didn't make it to the Archive). I remember you being really, really unhappy with this faction, and I felt at the time, and especially do now, that you probably were struggling to _understand_ the faction, and realize what it can do. I remember you getting angry, but also largely ignoring Infestors, which particularly made me sad. When I played through this, I _bullied_ Maar ruthlessly with a swarm of marines and a few Infestors, particularly when I was holding the bridge while preparing to push into the enemy base. Disabling Cloud on that bridge chokepoint with a concave of marines is just savagery.
Yeah, must have been a really bad day for him because normally he praises stuff like Nightmare to high heavens despite being extremely challenging and sometimes "unfair". And this faction is "quirky" but far less complex than the Chinese stuff he also seems to love (Eyeser comes to mind: "oh, tempest attacks storm half my army to death in an instant, cool!" vs "wah, most of these units are Armored and die to vanilla immortals ")
I mean, to be fair to Izsha yes, it is numberless, as long as you keep clicking it looks like you can get infinite units since it ignores minerals, gas, and supply so spawn it.
I wish to note the infester on the Marr mission's neural parasite didn't specify anything it didn't work on, so it is possible he could have just mind controlled Marr, which would have been hilarious.
45:58 There already is a comment on dragoon and dragon's etymology, but I want to show you the complete etymology of these words (excerpts from Wiktionary): Dragoon: The noun is borrowed from French dragon (“dragon (mythological creature); type of cavalry soldier, dragoon”) (originally referring to a soldier armed with the firearm of the same name (sense 1.1)),[1] ultimately from Latin dracō (“dragon; kind of serpent or snake”), from Ancient Greek δρᾰ́κων (drákōn, “dragon; serpent”), possibly from δέρκομαι (dérkomai, “to see, see clearly (in the sense of something staring)”), from Proto-Indo-European *derḱ- (“to see”)). Doublet of Draco and dragon. Dragon: From Middle English dragoun, borrowed from Old French dragon, from Latin dracō, dracōnem, from Ancient Greek δράκων (drákōn, “a serpent of huge size, a python, a dragon”), probably from δέρκομαι (dérkomai, “I see clearly”). Displaced native Old English draca a doublet of dragon, so too are Draco and dragoon.
you can eat overlords for energy!!!!! so underrated, it only puts them to half and you get alot of energy. makes me sad he doesnt do it😭. But still love you grant
In Utter Darkness is very fun mission when you play it for the first time. The concept alone - your goal is to die - was mind blowing when I first played it those 14 years ago (god, it's longer now from release of SC2 than it was between release of SC1 and WoL). But I agree that playing it for nth time makes it a chore.

This first mission made me realize if the zerg spread creep via flying queens who spit a creep tumor that upon landing has no model, cant be selected, doesn't spawn new tumors & is invulnerable, i would like the creep spread mechanic way more. Like a permanent version of dewiradu(?)'s creep spit spell from 7 player hots coop but on a flying spellcaster
Would be stupidly OP if there was no way to remove it. Even if it's just painted creep without the tumor granting vision it could still be used to permanently block non-zerg players from expanding. WC3 had something vaguely similar but fair: Undead structures spread Blight and require it for placement, but other races can build on Blight and their structures dispel Blight upon completion. Items can place a patch of unbound Blight, and area dispels can remove any Blight not near an active source. This wouldn't work too well in Starcraft though because there is no established framework of AoE dispels or comparable mechanics for other factions to get rid of the creep.
@@Photoloss it could technically be done since in coop you can build on creep and in Memes of liberty the hellion cleared the creep faster so maybe combining those into one and applying it to every non zerg building could work
@@indominusrex1652 That would require a complete rework of other factions' interactions though, not just a quick tweak of the zerg's ability to spread it like the original comment suggested.
@@Photoloss A) dont care about PVP, just give campaign a different ruleset. its always different anyway, not like protoss gets spinlots 2) could just as easily give the other races an ability that dispels the creep. put it on the CC so aggressive creep spread saps CC energy to counter, and give the flying queen something economic to do with her energy so persistent creep clear suppresses the zerg's economy in back
24:10 you did queue it up, but only with 1 queen and the queen has a cooldown on the tumor so it placed the first one, went to the 2nd place and was on cooldown so it moved to the 3rd and was still on cooldown
I remember seeing the first misson here before. I have very strong memories of grant getting frustrated and rage quitting it because he didn't like how the faction was all armoured, which was not at all enjoyable to watch. But hey, at least we get to see it all in full today.
In Utter Darkness - I know you didn't want to pass 2800, but I'm pretty sure it was counting baneling explosions as kills for you so that's what did it.
So, on engine of destruction, Grant Neural Parasites a Raven. Lorewise, how? There’s no pilot to snag. Hell even in HoTS Kerrigan talks about how Zerg can’t hack.
Zerg interfacing with technology is very arbitrary. They have no issues intercepting communications even in SC1, and Neural Parasite has always worked on various mechanical and robotic constructs (e.g. probes) in SC2. Neural also works on widowmemes which probably do not have a "life-like neural lattice" controlling them (and perhaps not even terran-grade "AI"). Regarding Kerrigan you'd also think she would at least _consider_ simply capturing terran military hardware and hacking it using her skills as a Ghost, or telepathically dominating Dominion officers for intel. Arcturus Mengsk was established as having very effective mental defences against telepathy even in SC1, but that was also described as fairly uncommon. Of course there's also viper Aduct, which has a far more fundamental problem than attempting to interface with electronics.
Worms can deep tunnel to anywhere with creep right? Does it have to be /your/ creep? Because being able to spawn camp the enemies as they walked onto the map with a combined wall of worms, queens for healing, swarm hosts for locusts as free HP sponges, and bunkers and Lurkers for backline support seems pretty OP. Toss on some Banshees for devoted anti-air and you've got yourself one hell of a wall
There is no "ownership" of creep. The worms probably require vision too, and spawn camping this type of mission usually carries a risk of having a full surround spawned on your "back"line, but there's definitely nothing stopping you from trying. With this faction the best option would probably be sieged tanks for more responsive AoE, with a frontline of bunkerlisks for self-healing AA support (Grant did not show them off but they have an attack similar to the IT rockets against air). Vanilla zerg units are unreliable as they're only available from the hero events and the bonus, and swarmhosts are too slow when you're literally sitting on the spawn point (but great at holding chokepoints).
I think the idea was that terran has no "innate" lategame/multi-base defensive perk, where protoss gets warp-ins (and convenient spammable cannons) and zerg gets creep movespeed, tumor vision, and nydus worms. Also the PF, like warpgates, stemmed from early "it'd be cool if" WoL alpha designs and may have been kept more for coolness and theming while not being overtly harmful rather than for being an actively good contribution to gameplay (other such early ideas include the Odin, diamondback, shockwave banshees but with like 3x the AoE width, and various abilities we see on campaign motherships)
@@Photoloss yeah, and because they cost a lot the PF are actually more useful as positional blocks with additional firepower to take down heavier units. They are not the center piece of defense, just a good thing to have to change the battleground favorably.
Does anyone else just get an Overlord to follow each Infestor? Good HP source for energy, not high priority for enemies in a fight, pretty easy to keep topped on health with Mend.
