Putting a request for Grant to not skip mission cutscenes when they first play, we need to see all the chaos that unfolds - like the Hyperion dying at the end here.
Mod Maker here, this is my first mod. The missions for this mod have a chaotic difficulty in part because I generally aimed for a sandbox approach if I could beat the mission, otherwise I had fun (made changes) until I got to LotV in which I had a lot of pain and fun with the SOA. I began with a crazy mod idea that was too complicated for first time touching the SC2 mod manager so I went with this idea from a Warcraft 2 custom maps where both sides had a group of units and could produce grunts for free really quick. The shield only mod reminded me of it a decade later and it seemed a reasonable idea for my first mod and I was able to explore more of the modding tools on the no build missions (Ultralisk Evolution mission is one of my favorites) and built up experience for when I got to HotS and LotV. 1st mission eases players into the 1 hp mod, 2nd mission introduces infinite minerals (which was missed) and that bases die super quick. I changed the medics to make them not pointless and to reward good micro (they are also helpful on no build missions). 3rd mission ramps up the tension, show cases the bunker and introduces alternate bonus objectives to speed up defense missions. And the tension is an interesting part of the mod. WoL and HotS got playtested a lot, LotV not since I updated the SOA for the umpteenth time, there are certain things one can only get by watching someone else play it. So I will be making the alternate objectives send a mail as well. Concerns by people who played the mod: that it would get stale for youtube since mass marines is an easy go to solution for most maps (not such a concern with HotS or LotV). True, but then you never know when GGG is going to forget static defense and lose his base to a Zergling. I have begun to create a list of fun twists to add the 1 hp universe but it would be for a future mod to see what interesting things can be done in it. If you have an idea feel free to mention it in GGGCCM. Enjoy, Mystic Golem PS GGG Play it how you want, speed run it, cheese it, do whatever you think is most interesting. I will enjoy watching it. Also, new version is out with Mail messages that point out new bonus objectives.
The fact you went beyond just setting everything to 1HP and calling it a day is amazing. This seems like it will be a lot of fun to play and watch. Great job!
@@Certifiedgooner they must have changed how the Rip Fields work, they probably reduce range/attack speed/plain speed or something now otherwise it's physically impossible since you'd need something like 30+ range to hit a RF-Generator from outside of the field and NO units in SC2 can get that much range. the alternative is that protoss have 1 shields and 1 hp so that they still have immunity to the generators and you must now use the limited supply of DTs
@@lanteanboy I don't think you physically can get to the DTs though? Maybe Protoss and the vault have 1 HP and the mission just instantly autowins lmao
Asking the big questions. I was only thinking about 1 shotting Kerrigan or Maar. But now. Having Zeratur survive the first mission will be tough. Belly in the beast will be impossible too.
@@Ahakenab i think that one is even easier as they outrange almost everything and tychus has splash dmg which is also very fast, not to mention they only die when all die.
I noticed there was a bonus objective on Zero Hour labeled "Destroy All Hatcheries [win]", I wonder if that would be easier or harder to pull off. Overall, this mod clearly has thought put into it, so I'd love to see more of it!
In normal - non 1 hp game, destroying all Zerg hacheries is tough. I don't think I ever managed to do it in a legit non moded run. Always run out of time before destroying the last base
@@RancorSnp It's fairly easy even on normal Brutal difficulty, dedicate to rushing the bottom left base so you can expand for double base income, mass marines and dive the zerg from the top left to top right.
I feel like this mod is going to be very heavily based on... strangely enough, Marine / Tank / Viking. The key things in this mod I think are going to be range, splash, and price. Siege tanks and vikings can hit things from far away, Tanks do good splash, Marines are cheap cannon fodder (as much as 1hp cannon fodder can be). Potentially hellions might be good too?
Marine tanks are just straight up the best units in the game, long range splash and rapid fire guns that are hitscan are unmatched in this mod. The only late game unit that are useful would probably be cloakies
Going into the episode, I wasn't very excited for this mod but was still aware that I would watch every video on it. I've changed my mind. I'm *very* excited for it
well, the one way to use bunkers is shrike turret+range+ghosts. basically you outrange most attacks so the bunker doesnt get touched. however i dont know if ghosts attack fast enough.. its up to attspeed in this mod and not anything else. also wind up animation matters
@@blaurvedrur That’s why you do turret + marine bunker. 5 marine shots in the same place at 6 range means you become a meatgrinder for most enemy units. Edit: 7 Marine shots at 7 range, sorry. I forgot about the armory upgrades.
might be worth a mix of ghosts and marines in the bunkers, so the ghosts out range most everything and keep the bunker from getting sniped while the marines use their superior attack speed to clean everything else up? Either that or just a critical mass of ghosts clustered in the bunkers, like any attack wave with less units than you have ghosts should just get instant killed by your alpha strike, atk speed be damned.
0:16 So range, attack speed, and splash is king. 2:12 Nah dude, that's too crazy. 5:25 The mod really didn't let what you said slide, huh? 6:00 They're not Medics anymore. They're Harmacists. 8:15 **rebel base gets levelled** **Get rescued immediately after** Better late than never, I guess... 12:28 You know what's as strong as tanks but not as vulnerable? Colossi and Brood Lords. Also swarms of zerglings. 27:14 The number of times this mod has made you rethink your choice of words is surprisingly impressive. Mod Summary: Good: *You breathe on your enemies, they die.* Bad: *Your enemies breathe on **_you,_** you die.*
This sounds like a great idea. Do you just auto win on the dig as soon as the laser turns on? How do you beat Maw of the Void? Turning an RTS into a puzzle is really interesting!
I feel like in some ways, this mod is very realistic. At least in the small scale fights. A marine firing a full burst(like 4-5 shots I think?) should kill a zergling, and zerglings have repeatedly been shown in cutscenes to kill marines on their own so long as they can get to them... It gets a little ridiculous when we get to bigger things though...
In large scale it kinda realistic as well, when it comes to TvT. If you split up and manage to get close to artillery, it should not be difficult to shut it down. The problem is how, because rushing in with 50 marines is not an option anymore. With zerg it kinda works the same way. Protoss is garbage though, maybe with the exception of HT and colossi all their units are joke
@@blaurvedrur Well its the other wa thats the problem... A tank exploding just cause it takes one salvo of gaus rifles? A BC insta dead due to a single round from a ghost?
Oh my. This seems quite fun. And interesting. The moment I saw the they added range to raynor, it makes it obvious they tried to make it *possible*. But yeah no, this is gonna be TUFF.
A full let's play of WoL with that mod would be so great ! Please make more plus you seem to have so much fun with it ! It helps warming my heart for real
There are a number of fixed nydus spawn points(I think like 6-8?), all of them respawn rapidly when killed. The others should also be there, but are probably rallied to your old base first so given the short time remaining and the ramp, inconsequential overall. I know this because I sometime bunker near all the spawn points, and kill dozens of nydus in the short time window.
You can tell how interesting this mod is based on how many questions it makes you ask yourself, about unit compositions, new (and old) strategies, and maps and your positioning. Can't wait to see the rest of this. Also, it's awesome how you play sc2 with your sister, that's an amazing relationship.
Only way I see it: Defence Matrix is given for free, giving you 1 shield for a short duration... but I don't know how you win with BCs... they are outranged by so many units, and they are not hitscan.
The Nydus worm thing is because they have a sequential spawning order with designated spaces that should be filled first. Because you killed it so fast from position 'A' when it checked where to spawn in the next one it saw position 'A' was empty and put it there first. The reason the others spawned in at different locations at the end is because those are set to spawn as a group the first runs the check to see the next empty spot and the rest just spawn in the next sequential spawn points.
I played this mod (all three campaigns)! It's lots of fun! I won't spoil the strongest units, but I do think there is a simple strategy that guarantees victory in almost every mission. I do think there are two issues that are inherent to the premise : (1) unit variety is cut down. Over half the units are unviable, understandably. (2) you have to be prepared for every single attack wave ahead of time or you die. Not so bad with Terran, but more of an issue with zerg and protoss. Other than that, it's a wonderful time.
Holy crap guys, the Wraith is gonna be OP in this mod! Think about it, fast, cloaks, high energy pool with upgrades, hits air and ground, and can be irratiated for AoE
Turns out that the unit that deals almost no damage and dies instantly is pretty good when everything else also dies instantly and everyone deals infinite damage
Also don’t forget: Wraiths have the unique armory upgrade that gives them 20% evasion when cloaked and detected. In other words, they are literally the tankiest unit in the game because they have a chance to not die in one hit.
This mod seems like some really silly fun that fits the general vibe of the channel really well. And it is surprisingly interesting to see how missions unfold, maybe it gets old as the campaign progresses but I think that this has potential.
I would absolutely love to see more of this, I feel like range is gonna suddenly be the MOST important stat. Also, I support not skipping cutscenes to see the funny 1hp chaos.
I would definitely love watching the entire campaign of this. The absolute chaos that can ensue from 1 second to the next is hilarious. And, as see at the end, it might result in some weird new knowledge about how stuff works, which is always interesting.
This is certainly very interesting, but I can potentially see this becoming stale later on to lack of unit variety, given that a large number of units have probably become inviable. Especially as most of the strong units are probably the ones that are already strong. The key factors for most units to have will be range (firing the first shot is essential), hit-scan (projectiles with travel time give their targets time to get return shots off), cost (to reduce the burden of losses), fire-rate/splash (to deal with groups).
not really, mostly only the siege tank and possibly banshees -battlecruisers are too slow -diamondbacks fire too slowly so would end up needing way too much micro -thor is basically worthless waste of resources -marauder is completely inviable due to their bulk and slowing shots being their major upside -raven is a coinflip depending on what you're fighting, since if its projectiles its point defense drone is really good defense, but at the same time a single marine will one-tap it and its seeker missile is deceptively short-ranged contrary to this, the wraith will probably see way more wide use cuz of its stealth and ability to hit both ground and air, helions will be good on a few zerg/infested missions and maybe even all in, and the shrike turret basically gives the bunkers 1 extra marine dps, which have already been established to be the backbone of most of the campaign -
@@ilijavirijevic3876 One marauder in each bunk with four marines seems like it might be just as good as normal, if not better against swarms. Remember that the slow is AOE in campaign, so it can stall approaching hydras and stalkers that bit more to let the marines get more shots off. Or maybe it just washes compared to two more marines, idk. We'll find out!
@@avitraangelica9278why slow when you can kill instead? Marauders are waaay too slow. You know what will be ironically great. Vulture bikes cause of the mines.
@@jonsmith5058 Depends on how many ranged enemies you can slow in a big blob and if that lets the four marines in the bunker do the work of more than six, letting the bunker's range advantage stay in play. Again though, it might just be better to have more marines and hope. I'unno. Spider mines will be INSANE here, yeah! Definitely going to be one of those units to pick up ASAP. At least Trains will probably be pretty easy for getting to them!
Reapers and Ghost/Spectre are going to be insane because of the range bonuses. Reapers in a bunker were already good, though they lose a little on killing since they attack twice. A bunker with 4 marines and 1 ghost, however, is going to be absolutely insane because the ghosts already long range +ocular implant+bunker range
I would like to see more. And I had a few thoughts: - In SC1, if Armor>Attack, they needed several attacks to deal 1 damage. So armor upgrades might actually work. - It is also possible that Attack Upgrades are redirected to range, Firerate or something the like. And it would still be relevant to overcomming larger armor values. So you should check them out at least - Range and Splash are the most scary thing - windup, sight range, low rate of fire - those are core weaknesses. High ground is very valuable to deny LoS. - when approaching a long range unit, take out every unit and building that scouts for it. Deny them sight range - The only way to tank, is to have bodies in front. - free Spawns will be invaluable, even a simple raven turret. It is possible that unit was changed - defense matrix is a lot of extra HP. But between it and the heal, the SciShip was probably changed drastically
from the get go: "+1 bunker range is going to be mandatory huh" grant: "bunkers will be useless" mission 2 bunker of death: mission 3: i am become the bunker of death i think its because that one nydus is inside the 'base' thats supposed to be rebuilt, so it keeps respawning. i figure there are another couple in the other bases. then theres the larger spawn wave trigger later
@@momom6197 They don't really have "windup", though. They certainly aren't hitscan and that's a serious weakness, but they fire immediately once the enemy is in range, and killing them doesn't stop the shots from landing once they're in flight
Even without a true wind up, the fact that it is a projectile instead of hit scan means that there is going to be so much wasted damage that you're going to lose an unreasonable amount of your army while waiting for the projectiles to collide@@great_hedgehog8199
Seeing the mutas destroy all of your barracks and then NOT parking some marines over there had me screaming at my TV lmaoooo. All, please...PLEAAASSSE defend the barracks. Ans then the second wave came. Too funny. Love the video man, you're awesome as always.
Grant at 20:00 in, as his base's east side gets annihilated by the mutas that start arriving at this point in the mission: "What _happened_?! What _happened_?! It all died! Was there a drop pod? _Oh_, dude, there's mutas." Grant for the next 4m30s: Builds not a single defensive emplacement on the east side of his base. (I enjoyed this a lot, just poking a little bit of fun. I'd happily watch the rest of this series. Like you said, some missions will be fascinating.)
Honestly, I'd love to see more. It's simple, yes, but with potential for very stupid things happening. Also what happened to the Legacy of the Tal'darim? Did the mod creator abandon it or it didn't get enough traction for you to consider continuing it?
Ghosts in a bunker for All In air nothing survives. Not even Kerrigan. Also the dig is gonna be hell. Engine of Destruction is going to be hell trying to protect that Odin
I don't think they have the fire rate to do that. Ghosts just have a worse fire rate than Marines do, although one or two per bunker might be really helpful for dealing with long-range enemies such as brood lords or hydralisks
I want to see All In Nydus. Ghosts fire very slowly and don’t completely alleviate the bunker being vulnerable to brood lords, and watching legions of ground forces get meatgrindered by a 7 marine bunker seems much more entertaining.
I for one and definitely interested in seeing more of this, especially with the later missions. Imagine things like a single colossus moving over cliffs, talk about devastating. Oh my god, imagine the mission where you need to face Mira in space or where you are escorting the Odin around.
Every weapon in the game already does more than 3 damage per attack though, besides roachlings, I think. Grant is probably gonna go ultra-capacitors for the attack speed.
Writing this literally 4mins into the video, not even finished yet, end of mission one! Quick take: So far one of the most exciting campaign mod run I am looking forward to whatching you play it through. Tactical overview real quick on the top of my mind: winning strategy at first glance: -Have the longest range unit always! and make sure of proper DPS provided for those units, - for Defense : minimap awareness is key, if any attack wave comes when not expected, the base/expansion can fall in seconds! Very cool idea, very hard, but if you have above things covered should not be a huge issue, Hope you like it as well, and see it through , GL and HF! And as always thanks for keeping the SC2 community entertained in such a cool manner!
this mod seems really cool to see, going to be interesting to see how things go when you have to keep things like the Odin from dying when Tychus goes for a joyride, also forgot to add this in, but it makes sense that the Bunkers are so OP. they give everything in it two hits before dying horribly.
Backing the full playthrough. I get the funny feeling the 'easiest/shortest' missions are going to be nightmares, while the 'difficult/longest' missions are going to be a walk in the relative park. After all, it's easy to break a vault when it has one HP.
This is really fun to see and I want to see more. Proves that you don't have to change much for it to be entertaining. And Muta is probably the best unit in the game under this permission.
22:00 - Me thinking "Grant JUST watched a muta attack over the cliffs Destroy his production. Surely he's gonna throw down some bunkers or turrets over there now?" 22:42 - Nope, guess not :') 24:30 - HOORAY HE PUT SOME BUNKERS ALONG THE EASTERN FLANK
Fascinating to watch the gameplay of someone who is so smart, and at the same time so foolish. Moving to the left base was a stroke of genius; losing your entire production to 4 mutas three times in a row was... less so. xD
100% interested in seeing more. Watching the hyperion get vaporized was definitely a highlight though. Agreeing with everyone else that sticking around to see what changes in all the cutscenes will be fantastic.
The AoE upgrade for the missile turret, +2 bunker slots, and +1 range for bunkers are going to have so much value. Oh god, Goliaths might be insane with the firing ground and air, at the same time,with their range. Perma-Cloaked Ghosts as well. The Carnage! Wait, did Grant get so caught up thinking about the Nydus Worm that he didn't notice Horner get annihilated at the end? lol, poor Matthew.
In the old Broodwar UMS days where you couldn't change some properties of units like range, ghosts were an extremely powerful unit because they had the highest range of any mobile ground unit. I think only the siege units of siege tanks, reavers, and guardians outranged them. Heroic versions of units have slightly higher attack speed and generally considered better because of that, but for the ghosts they were considered worse because the regular ghosts actually slightly outranged their heroic versions. Ghosts would probably be the most powerful mobile ground unit Grant has access to in this mod.
I had the same thought about the uselessness of medics before that mission even started, and was just as pleasantly surprised as he was when they said "we swapped your useless heal for a nice blasty irradiate."
I checked the Triggers for the Nydus spawns: There seems to be 2 Nydus worms which are supposed to be always there, since there are Triggers to keep respawning them if they are destroyed. The locations are where you saw it, and at the opposite point on the map. This is a completely different event from the endgame Nydus spawn which happens when there is one minute remaining.
do I want to see more of this you ask? are you kidding? This clip is one of the fastest clip I clicked after reading what kind of mod it is going to be about (as fast as the memes series at least). Expected the absolute chaos and I wasn't disappointed 😂
Putting a request for Grant to not skip mission cutscenes when they first play, we need to see all the chaos that unfolds - like the Hyperion dying at the end here.

And Hydras have always been monsters, so his terror is definitely lore-accurate.
In large scale it kinda realistic as well, when it comes to TvT. If you split up and manage to get close to artillery, it should not be difficult to shut it down. The problem is how, because rushing in with 50 marines is not an option anymore. With zerg it kinda works the same way. Protoss is garbage though, maybe with the exception of HT and colossi all their units are joke
@blaurvedrur, at the very least, High Templar storms are actually useful as an attack instead of just an ai pusher
@@blaurvedrur Well its the other wa thats the problem...
A tank exploding just cause it takes one salvo of gaus rifles?
A BC insta dead due to a single round from a ghost?
@@vyran7044 bcs and air units in general are garbage. Marine/tank/ling hydra interactions are cool and fresh
Grant: MEDIC IS THE MOST USELESS UNIT
*reads email*
Grant: MEDICS ARE GOING TO BE REALLY GOOD!
Oh my. This seems quite fun. And interesting. The moment I saw the they added range to raynor, it makes it obvious they tried to make it *possible*. But yeah no, this is gonna be TUFF.
A full let's play of WoL with that mod would be so great ! Please make more plus you seem to have so much fun with it ! It helps warming my heart for real
There are a number of fixed nydus spawn points(I think like 6-8?), all of them respawn rapidly when killed. The others should also be there, but are probably rallied to your old base first so given the short time remaining and the ramp, inconsequential overall.
I know this because I sometime bunker near all the spawn points, and kill dozens of nydus in the short time window.
You can tell how interesting this mod is based on how many questions it makes you ask yourself, about unit compositions, new (and old) strategies, and maps and your positioning. Can't wait to see the rest of this.
Also, it's awesome how you play sc2 with your sister, that's an amazing relationship.
Is the temple in The Dig just going to have one hp and it's a meme mission? I assume not, but I want to see it so badly.
ive been thinking the same exact thing, that and the ripfield generators are gonna be interesting to see how they work out
Only way I see it: Defence Matrix is given for free, giving you 1 shield for a short duration... but I don't know how you win with BCs... they are outranged by so many units, and they are not hitscan.
@@GATCornebrecool down based Yamato maybe?
I guess laser drill will be just turned off until the timer runs out.
The Nydus worm thing is because they have a sequential spawning order with designated spaces that should be filled first. Because you killed it so fast from position 'A' when it checked where to spawn in the next one it saw position 'A' was empty and put it there first. The reason the others spawned in at different locations at the end is because those are set to spawn as a group the first runs the check to see the next empty spot and the rest just spawn in the next sequential spawn points.
28:10 Now replay Zero Hour with the goal of spawn-camping the entire map with *_Bunker of Death_* Coming to your cinema this christmas!
I played this mod (all three campaigns)! It's lots of fun! I won't spoil the strongest units, but I do think there is a simple strategy that guarantees victory in almost every mission. I do think there are two issues that are inherent to the premise : (1) unit variety is cut down. Over half the units are unviable, understandably. (2) you have to be prepared for every single attack wave ahead of time or you die. Not so bad with Terran, but more of an issue with zerg and protoss. Other than that, it's a wonderful time.
Where can I find this mod?
Holy crap guys, the Wraith is gonna be OP in this mod! Think about it, fast, cloaks, high energy pool with upgrades, hits air and ground, and can be irratiated for AoE
Turns out that the unit that deals almost no damage and dies instantly is pretty good when everything else also dies instantly and everyone deals infinite damage
I festers with instant fungal growths: Why hello there.
It has to be - dosen't the Odin also get just one hp?
Also don’t forget: Wraiths have the unique armory upgrade that gives them 20% evasion when cloaked and detected. In other words, they are literally the tankiest unit in the game because they have a chance to not die in one hit.
@@ThisIsntAUA-camr marine in a bunker is tankier
This mod seems like some really silly fun that fits the general vibe of the channel really well.
And it is surprisingly interesting to see how missions unfold, maybe it gets old as the campaign progresses but I think that this has potential.
How will stim work on marines? Is it an instant game-over now?😂
That’s the funny part, stim can’t kill. You wouldn’t be able to use it in the first place.
@@FenekkuKitsune You can't stim if you don't have enough hp ? didn't know that
Is stim going to cost 0.5 hp or something?
@@timotheebrasseur6188 Yep, stim can only bring the unit down to 1hp at the least. If they have 1hp, they can't stim.
I would absolutely love to see more of this, I feel like range is gonna suddenly be the MOST important stat. Also, I support not skipping cutscenes to see the funny 1hp chaos.
Finally a mod where bunker auto turrets are actually good (ignore the fact that the bunker won't be used at all probably)
+1 range is worth 100 minerals when it saves 20 marine's lives
I would definitely love watching the entire campaign of this.
The absolute chaos that can ensue from 1 second to the next is hilarious. And, as see at the end, it might result in some weird new knowledge about how stuff works, which is always interesting.
10:07 Grant watches Ryan George confirmed
Grant's marines in mission 2 forming like a SEAL team to hit the tank is peak humor. I need this.
This is certainly very interesting, but I can potentially see this becoming stale later on to lack of unit variety, given that a large number of units have probably become inviable. Especially as most of the strong units are probably the ones that are already strong.
The key factors for most units to have will be range (firing the first shot is essential), hit-scan (projectiles with travel time give their targets time to get return shots off), cost (to reduce the burden of losses), fire-rate/splash (to deal with groups).
not really, mostly only the siege tank and possibly banshees
-battlecruisers are too slow
-diamondbacks fire too slowly so would end up needing way too much micro
-thor is basically worthless waste of resources
-marauder is completely inviable due to their bulk and slowing shots being their major upside
-raven is a coinflip depending on what you're fighting, since if its projectiles its point defense drone is really good defense, but at the same time a single marine will one-tap it and its seeker missile is deceptively short-ranged
contrary to this, the wraith will probably see way more wide use cuz of its stealth and ability to hit both ground and air, helions will be good on a few zerg/infested missions and maybe even all in, and the shrike turret basically gives the bunkers 1 extra marine dps, which have already been established to be the backbone of most of the campaign

@@ilijavirijevic3876 One marauder in each bunk with four marines seems like it might be just as good as normal, if not better against swarms. Remember that the slow is AOE in campaign, so it can stall approaching hydras and stalkers that bit more to let the marines get more shots off. Or maybe it just washes compared to two more marines, idk. We'll find out!
@@avitraangelica9278why slow when you can kill instead? Marauders are waaay too slow.
You know what will be ironically great. Vulture bikes cause of the mines.
@@jonsmith5058 Depends on how many ranged enemies you can slow in a big blob and if that lets the four marines in the bunker do the work of more than six, letting the bunker's range advantage stay in play. Again though, it might just be better to have more marines and hope. I'unno.
Spider mines will be INSANE here, yeah! Definitely going to be one of those units to pick up ASAP. At least Trains will probably be pretty easy for getting to them!
Reapers and Ghost/Spectre are going to be insane because of the range bonuses. Reapers in a bunker were already good, though they lose a little on killing since they attack twice. A bunker with 4 marines and 1 ghost, however, is going to be absolutely insane because the ghosts already long range +ocular implant+bunker range
I would like to see more. And I had a few thoughts:
- In SC1, if Armor>Attack, they needed several attacks to deal 1 damage. So armor upgrades might actually work.
- It is also possible that Attack Upgrades are redirected to range, Firerate or something the like. And it would still be relevant to overcomming larger armor values. So you should check them out at least
- Range and Splash are the most scary thing
- windup, sight range, low rate of fire - those are core weaknesses. High ground is very valuable to deny LoS.
- when approaching a long range unit, take out every unit and building that scouts for it. Deny them sight range
- The only way to tank, is to have bodies in front.
- free Spawns will be invaluable, even a simple raven turret. It is possible that unit was changed
- defense matrix is a lot of extra HP. But between it and the heal, the SciShip was probably changed drastically
Everything i have only has 1hp? Sounds like how i feel in ladder
So is the Odin going to have 1HP?
@@DrewMiller1 that would both be hilarious and terrifying
from the get go: "+1 bunker range is going to be mandatory huh"
grant: "bunkers will be useless"
mission 2 bunker of death:
mission 3: i am become the bunker of death
i think its because that one nydus is inside the 'base' thats supposed to be rebuilt, so it keeps respawning. i figure there are another couple in the other bases. then theres the larger spawn wave trigger later
Tooth Hurty was bad and you should feel bad.
But, like the good bad. Like the 80's when bad was good.
That joke was BAD, Triple-G-diddy. Fo' rizzle~
I love your content so much. So relaxing and wholesome!
This mod is so funny, I hope we get to see it all the way through!
Vanguards must be busted in this mod! As opposed to every other form of the vanguard where it’s also busted
I feel like they attack too slowly.
Two words: attack wind-up. Any unit that's not hitscan is worse. Also, they have less range than immortals.
@@momom6197 They don't really have "windup", though. They certainly aren't hitscan and that's a serious weakness, but they fire immediately once the enemy is in range, and killing them doesn't stop the shots from landing once they're in flight
Even without a true wind up, the fact that it is a projectile instead of hit scan means that there is going to be so much wasted damage that you're going to lose an unreasonable amount of your army while waiting for the projectiles to collide@@great_hedgehog8199
Vanguards are actually really bad.
Seeing the mutas destroy all of your barracks and then NOT parking some marines over there had me screaming at my TV lmaoooo. All, please...PLEAAASSSE defend the barracks.
Ans then the second wave came. Too funny. Love the video man, you're awesome as always.
Grant, i would recommend you still pick drop pods, having that as a back up might be... necessary
Grant at 20:00 in, as his base's east side gets annihilated by the mutas that start arriving at this point in the mission: "What _happened_?! What _happened_?! It all died! Was there a drop pod? _Oh_, dude, there's mutas."
Grant for the next 4m30s: Builds not a single defensive emplacement on the east side of his base.
(I enjoyed this a lot, just poking a little bit of fun. I'd happily watch the rest of this series. Like you said, some missions will be fascinating.)
Honestly, I'd love to see more. It's simple, yes, but with potential for very stupid things happening.
Also what happened to the Legacy of the Tal'darim? Did the mod creator abandon it or it didn't get enough traction for you to consider continuing it?
This turns the campaign into a puzzle game, and I think that's awesome. Would love to watch more!
It looks like a good challenge and the ghost with upgrade mught be overpowered
The mutas wrecking your entire production was horrifying. I love it!
Ghosts in a bunker for All In air nothing survives. Not even Kerrigan. Also the dig is gonna be hell. Engine of Destruction is going to be hell trying to protect that Odin
Before protecting Odin you'll need to somehow protect Tychus in no-built section
@BekindBekbek you're not wrong but considering the changes to raynor the first mission I really hope the mod maker did something for that
I don't think they have the fire rate to do that. Ghosts just have a worse fire rate than Marines do, although one or two per bunker might be really helpful for dealing with long-range enemies such as brood lords or hydralisks
The dig will either be hell or extremely funny.
I want to see All In Nydus. Ghosts fire very slowly and don’t completely alleviate the bunker being vulnerable to brood lords, and watching legions of ground forces get meatgrindered by a 7 marine bunker seems much more entertaining.
I for one and definitely interested in seeing more of this, especially with the later missions.
Imagine things like a single colossus moving over cliffs, talk about devastating.
Oh my god, imagine the mission where you need to face Mira in space or where you are escorting the Odin around.
Vanadium Plating is going to be so broken if each armor upgrade ups their health
Every weapon in the game already does more than 3 damage per attack though, besides roachlings, I think. Grant is probably gonna go ultra-capacitors for the attack speed.
I legitimately laughed out loud when the siege tank took out Grant's entire army.
Now do it deathless haha
I immediately thought of "The Dig" and laughed really hard at the implications. I'd love to see a playthrough with this mod.
Let's do 1hp deathless :P
Writing this literally 4mins into the video, not even finished yet, end of mission one!
Quick take: So far one of the most exciting campaign mod run I am looking forward to whatching you play it through.
Tactical overview real quick on the top of my mind: winning strategy at first glance:
-Have the longest range unit always! and make sure of proper DPS provided for those units,
- for Defense : minimap awareness is key, if any attack wave comes when not expected, the base/expansion can fall in seconds!
Very cool idea, very hard, but if you have above things covered should not be a huge issue, Hope you like it as well, and see it through ,
GL and HF!
And as always thanks for keeping the SC2 community entertained in such a cool manner!
mooooooore!
The Hyperion xD
I really like the mods you chose to highlight lately, and they are very enjoyable to watch! I'd probably finish watching this series through.
I wanna see more
hahaha the hyperion blows up and Grant is completely unfazed by it haha this is peak cinema
medic wraith new strat
I love watching Grant solve these kind of challenge campaigns!
Please make this into a series. Even if some of the missions are crazy fast it's really entertaining to see.
This promises to be hilarious in ways that aren't just cheesy memes.
I approve and want to see more.
Also, please show cutscenes!
It's great to hear grant just constantly laughing throughout the video
this mod seems really cool to see, going to be interesting to see how things go when you have to keep things like the Odin from dying when Tychus goes for a joyride, also forgot to add this in, but it makes sense that the Bunkers are so OP. they give everything in it two hits before dying horribly.
more more more, this is amazing, so cool watching all the weird ways every unit works at 1 ho
Such a simple change with such huge remifications needs a complete playthrough!
Backing the full playthrough. I get the funny feeling the 'easiest/shortest' missions are going to be nightmares, while the 'difficult/longest' missions are going to be a walk in the relative park. After all, it's easy to break a vault when it has one HP.
This mod look absolutely amazing. Ghost in bunkers will be king on all in
I enjoyed this. Honestly i love when RTS's are more like puzzles.
More of this please, that base clearing is so satisfying to watch
Grant: Dumpsters Medic calls them worthless in this mod
Medic: ... and I took that personally.
This was honestly amazing, pretty hilarious while still provoking thought.
I love how his mind was so blown by his discovery on the nidus spawns Grant didn't even register the Hyperion's death
Really enjoyed it. I would love to watch the whole 3 campaigns like this !
This is really fun to see and I want to see more. Proves that you don't have to change much for it to be entertaining. And Muta is probably the best unit in the game under this permission.
22:00 - Me thinking "Grant JUST watched a muta attack over the cliffs Destroy his production. Surely he's gonna throw down some bunkers or turrets over there now?"
22:42 - Nope, guess not :')
24:30 - HOORAY HE PUT SOME BUNKERS ALONG THE EASTERN FLANK
Fascinating to watch the gameplay of someone who is so smart, and at the same time so foolish. Moving to the left base was a stroke of genius; losing your entire production to 4 mutas three times in a row was... less so. xD
Your pitch meeting "hardly an inconvenience" had me rolling.
100% interested in seeing more. Watching the hyperion get vaporized was definitely a highlight though. Agreeing with everyone else that sticking around to see what changes in all the cutscenes will be fantastic.
I very much enjoyed this video, and would enjoy seeing more gameplay from this mod at your hands.
The Dig is gonna suck so frickin' hard, either by being impossible or the DUMBEST anticlimax. XD I love this so much.
The AoE upgrade for the missile turret, +2 bunker slots, and +1 range for bunkers are going to have so much value. Oh god, Goliaths might be insane with the firing ground and air, at the same time,with their range. Perma-Cloaked Ghosts as well. The Carnage!
Wait, did Grant get so caught up thinking about the Nydus Worm that he didn't notice Horner get annihilated at the end? lol, poor Matthew.
In the old Broodwar UMS days where you couldn't change some properties of units like range, ghosts were an extremely powerful unit because they had the highest range of any mobile ground unit. I think only the siege units of siege tanks, reavers, and guardians outranged them. Heroic versions of units have slightly higher attack speed and generally considered better because of that, but for the ghosts they were considered worse because the regular ghosts actually slightly outranged their heroic versions.
Ghosts would probably be the most powerful mobile ground unit Grant has access to in this mod.
This is awesome. Definitely do more of this. I'm more excited about this than silly zerg, which I'm also interested in. I hope you can do both!
The knowledge that Grant plays SC2 with his sister is super-wholesome!
I had the same thought about the uselessness of medics before that mission even started, and was just as pleasantly surprised as he was when they said "we swapped your useless heal for a nice blasty irradiate."
I checked the Triggers for the Nydus spawns:
There seems to be 2 Nydus worms which are supposed to be always there, since there are Triggers to keep respawning them if they are destroyed. The locations are where you saw it, and at the opposite point on the map.
This is a completely different event from the endgame Nydus spawn which happens when there is one minute remaining.
So, as someone who completed these 1hp/paintball campaigns... I look forward to see Grant strugle on The Reckoning in HOTS
I love that grant totally missed the Hyperion getting blown up at the end of the holdout mission
do I want to see more of this you ask? are you kidding? This clip is one of the fastest clip I clicked after reading what kind of mod it is going to be about (as fast as the memes series at least). Expected the absolute chaos and I wasn't disappointed 😂
