These AI ally mods are by far my favorite flavor of SC2 mods. I love having a competent ally in these missions, you do your own thing, do some harassments and contains then you look over and see your ally attack moving 20 battlecruisers or building a defense that could survive Nightmare All In.
The fight with Ally missions in the campaign even are my favorites. Hate having to baby them, but I just love the bigger scale they present. It's super immersive.
Speaking of people looking out for you. Your trapped SCV has an active ability that you can use to jump them to a specific location. So you could have had that poor trapped SCV jump over the refinery to free himself. It looks like it's bound to "C" by default.
I was looking forward to the heart of the swarm with ally mod. Bring the full might of the swarm, primal zerg, and infested down on the dominion...But I'll take this too. It is such an amazing concept of running a covert operations group with allies running around.
I'm not 100% sure about this but from the looks of it the SCV jump jets don't just give them cliffwalking but also the active jump jet ability (like the one the Siege Tank gets) so you totally could've freed that SCV from Vespene Purgatory™
Phew, i'm glad you noticed the upgrades in time. I didn't know you didn't need to grab the thing in the bonus, good to know. This mod is as good as the LOTV one so i hope you enjoy, also i hope the modmaker does a version for the other 2 campaigns as well, i love this ally mods, mostly because as a casual player they are not as punishing/hard as the usual mods grant shows here
Grant is playing "click first, read after". The engineering bay and armory upgrades had very small cost and timer, so you should not expect to have multiple good things for that cheap. Also, they have the negatives countered by the other upgrades. For example, one has a negative of -50 health and another with 100 shields as a positive.
Honestly feel like some of these mods really need to use the little tooltips that stops gameplay on the side of the screen. That or a slower start 'cause holy crap running around while trying to read is rough...
@@bonbondurjdr6553 It did have a different icon explaining you can only choose one. Grant even saw that and got confirmation. Grant also goes into a mod directly in brutal and doesn't take it slow at the start because youtube retention, sadly.
Yo, this is spicy. 4:00 VERY spicy. 15:29 Snow is exciting, at least it is to me because I live in a tropical country near the equator. Also, the freshy laid snow is the best when I lived in Japan.
I love that there's ally bunkers in the cliffs! It really does feel like a tower defense mission now that you have enough defenses to kill them before getting to the base, rather than a "defend the slowly dying ally" mission
As a person who did not watch previous ally mods and as someone who have not seen so much mods about the Nova, I am pretty excited to see, what awaits us! Thanks for the video!
I like how mission 1 reminds me of so many blatantly stupid (yet still low key fun) tropes 1) encryption that you can break by force of will/IQ 2) “break neck” as an easy instant kill move 3) guards with zero situational awareness or peripheral vision
The Nova covert Ops campaign felt very natural to put an ally mod in since a good amount of missions have some ally and have achievements tied to those allies
this looks very very fun. love the changes already made to horner in the second mission. WOuld love to see the rest of it, specially the later missions with them having full armies and such.
Can't wait to see how allies play a part in the rest of the missions. They were really good in Wings of Liberty with allies, so I'm excited to see who we get as allies and how effective they are.
4:05 i'm really digging this high stress enviornment, i'd almost want to see all of her powers except cloak, just be on cooldown, and the only thing that uses mana is the suit's abilities, one of which is cloak, maybe she can have something else that also ticks down while using it. 5:51 wait maybe she's perma-cloaked the whole point was detectors yeah nevermind i'm being silly. 26:10 i'f love to see a heavily cliff-jumping type faction, and missions to really capitalize on that.
this video inspired me to check out the NCO coop maps in arcade, which ive never looked at before. you can put spider mines onto any unit, & which unit you put them onto changes them! if you give reapers spider mines for the second level with all the cliff jumping, they're viable bc it gives the spider mines bonus range AND cliff jumping! thats so cool!! (PS, the maps have an Archon mode so u can play it solo without any loss of features) PS the fight with ally mod is interesting, id like to see more of it & you should do coop campaign maps in solo archon mode some time, most of them add really interesting stuff
There definitely isn't enough Nova stuff, I believe you should give it a try. This campaign might've been short and the plot so-so, but the missions are realy well designed and it has a huge potential.
I love these Fight with Ally mods! Looking forward to see more of this! Wait, Grant says this is 4th Fight with Ally mod. I know there is a WoL and Lotv version of this, but what is the 3rd one? The F2 crew mod?
hey hey! i enjoyed this series and i think itll be super cool to watch its finale so def keep up vids for this :D Also since im here, id really love to see you play Warcraft 3 without heros i think thatd make a great challenge run, maybe even try the multiplayer mod and get a friend along in the ~~pain and agony~~ fun! if you ever have free time between series id love to see it :D
Wow at first I only think that Matt AI just expand missile turrets near zerg entrance by default. Never expect that he's ready for the muta rush at the end
Hey! I love this mod it looks so interesting and i love these with ally mods! quick question though, did you finish uploading wings of liberty with ally's or did that end for some reason that i haven't seen?
10:40 I hear that the Mod Maker seems to be a Touhou fan, then I look at Stone driving towards the Laser... Is Stone Grazing the Laser Beam of Death to farm Points or am I looking to deep?
I'm very interested in this mod ! I wonder what Tarsonis will look like, especially ! Oh, and the one with the infested terrans, will the rescuees build their own base ? That'd be awesome !
I wish I could play covert ops again but the cutscenes in the mission where nova ingests terrazine crash my drivers. It used to work but modern drivers just die
Andy the abandoned SCV would like to inform you that his Jump Jets also has an active ability (E), and wishes you the best of luck on your journey without him.
The grenade works against air because it is a High Explosive version
Okay, I'll sho myself the way out
What a blast!
god damn it
Can’t argue with this superior higher upper intellectual deluxe logic.
BOOOOOO! have a like

I for one look forward to hearing Grant say "Nova Covert Ops Pro-Max Legendary Edition" every time!
Hey, that's not even the full name! It's Nova Covert Ops Redux Pro-Max Legendary Edition
I actually have watched 99% all the videos on this channel. So if Grant is having fun, Imma watch the VoD
With a percentage like that can you tell me how many videos he has
@@ICCUWANSIUTnearly 1800

u can see the ability in the command card. that scv could have been saved
It's crazy how a properly working ally changes the game completely. Excited to see more!

However you can only choose one of the three upgrades, so the negatives cannot be countered as such

I love the feel of this mod, and the redux not-joke got a hearty chuckle out of me
I'm listening to this in the background doing other stuff, and then all of the sudden Grant went:
"... WHY IS THERE A TIME LIMIT!?"
Gold.
Fight with Ally mods are the best. really cool stuff. I wish more rts games used allies like this
I like how mission 1 reminds me of so many blatantly stupid (yet still low key fun) tropes
1) encryption that you can break by force of will/IQ
2) “break neck” as an easy instant kill move
3) guards with zero situational awareness or peripheral vision

Thanks for showcasing this cool mod! Eager to see more! ^^
Yep, totally interested, Covert ops is way too short and any added content is welcome!
this looks very very fun. love the changes already made to horner in the second mission. WOuld love to see the rest of it, specially the later missions with them having full armies and such.
I love Ally mods so much
These upgrades looks like roguelite and I like it.
If you make an orbital command you can boost your allies supply
17:25 - one of the best voice acting from Grant 😄
7:15 AS. I call it AS (artificial stupidity).
10:20 Grant: We're gonna try to do this deathless. *Stone runs into the laser*
I love nova mods. They're nicely bite sized series with fun ideas.
I'm excited for this mod series. Seems like it'll be a good one. Also neat how mods nowadays can piggyback off other mods.
i like those gas geysers at the bonus objectives on mission 2, gives more of a in-mission reason to do those bonuses
Can't wait to see how allies play a part in the rest of the missions. They were really good in Wings of Liberty with allies, so I'm excited to see who we get as allies and how effective they are.

26:10 i'f love to see a heavily cliff-jumping type faction, and missions to really capitalize on that.
I love the addition of the Engineering bay / Armory bonus tech, giving new tech for everyone that could play well with Equipment.
I'm happy to see more of this!
23:40 You can use the SCV jumpjet to get your first SCV unstuck on the other geyser

Both Protoss and Terran Fight With Ally mods were awesome now time to see how Nova: Covert Ops's turn
5:53 im pretty shure that was a spec ops ghost snipe from the coop.
I'm interested in seeing this mod, please continue.
We're the Dominion now Grant, we're the dominion.
Mod seems pretty interesting. Definitely would love to see the rest.
There definitely isn't enough Nova stuff, I believe you should give it a try. This campaign might've been short and the plot so-so, but the missions are realy well designed and it has a huge potential.
"Why is there a...?" I thought the same :D
I love these Fight with Ally mods! Looking forward to see more of this!
Wait, Grant says this is 4th Fight with Ally mod. I know there is a WoL and Lotv version of this, but what is the 3rd one? The F2 crew mod?
Yes, we are interested in seeing more Nova Covert Ops Redux Pro Max Legendary Edition mod.
This mod looks great to even attempt to kill the zerg base in this mission
HELL YES ANOTHER FIGHT WITH ALLY! LETS SEE HOW GRANT DOES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ONCE AGAIN!
I feel like NCO is the perfect campaign to put a fight with ally mod into, so I'm excited to see where this one goes!
Would love to see this mod get played through! It looks really cool.
O heck yea, let's see the whole thing!
21:23 THERE IS gas geyser there in right corner of the screen
hey hey! i enjoyed this series and i think itll be super cool to watch its finale so def keep up vids for this :D
Also since im here, id really love to see you play Warcraft 3 without heros i think thatd make a great challenge run, maybe even try the multiplayer mod and get a friend along in the ~~pain and agony~~ fun! if you ever have free time between series id love to see it :D

NCO: PMLE
A abreviation that rolls off the tongue.
Always love more fight with allies videos keep it up
Nco is my favorite campaign, so I'm hyped for this
Nova went full Warhammer 40k living Saint mode this time
This looks like a fantastic rework of NCO!! Fitting in theme and overall so promising
This seems like a great time. More, please.
I am so excited for this mod
it looks so fun and accessible for a not-so-good player like me
Hey! I love this mod it looks so interesting and i love these with ally mods! quick question though, did you finish uploading wings of liberty with ally's or did that end for some reason that i haven't seen?
7:12 I came up with Artificial Stupidity
I'll show myself out
I'd love to see more of this!
I am absolutely interested in this mod, N:CO mods are quite the rarity, and so every single one of them is very welcome
totally want to see more of it!
What do u mean Horner is the worse half???
Matthew is the best boy!
I've been saying over and over that NCO is underrated! It has so much potential with mods
10:40 I hear that the Mod Maker seems to be a Touhou fan, then I look at Stone driving towards the Laser... Is Stone Grazing the Laser Beam of Death to farm Points or am I looking to deep?
I'm very interested in this mod ! I wonder what Tarsonis will look like, especially ! Oh, and the one with the infested terrans, will the rescuees build their own base ? That'd be awesome !
More covert ops please, such an underrated mode with really fun combinations of units. Plus Nova, you know you know
I'd like to see more, but i also want to play it. When this will be avaible on discord?
2am and ready to watch
I love being european, bcs the video comes exacly at 9:00 a morning and aslways makes my day better
why yes, i would love to see more
Def interested to see more!
I looked back turns out the ghost were their from the beginning
Let's hope that Stone manages to reappear, even if you have lost him.
I'm excited for this one
I'll back that in the comments - more of this please, this looks really cool!
I dig it, I'd like to see more
By "fight with allies" I read it like you had to fight your allies too
Interested for sure, ally mods always peaks my interest :) Also the name xD
I cant wait for covert ops in my covert ops campain :D
Imagine if the general Terran faction was replaced with the Covert Ops Terrans. So many cool options.
The reason Nova covert ops has such big scope is because she's a sniper.
I look forward to this mod
I’m enjoying this!
Is there going to be a Heart of the Swarm Fight with Ally mod?
Yes to continue this mod just for grant trying to speak 😂😂😂
7:10 - AI? more like Ayyy LMAO!
10:50 Stone always move to laser, what make me think he wanna suicide
I am interested in seeing the rest of this mod.
Absolutely interested in seeing Nova Covert Ops Max Ultra Legendary Edition.
I wish I could play covert ops again but the cutscenes in the mission where nova ingests terrazine crash my drivers. It used to work but modern drivers just die
So is more like wings of lag or legacy of the spam ?
So what happened with the Brood War real scale series?
I might just have to grab all the fight with ally mods and go ham
Big fan of this mod
Andy the abandoned SCV would like to inform you that his Jump Jets also has an active ability (E), and wishes you the best of luck on your journey without him.
I wanna see more of this.
6:15 let's get stoned. 😎
