So here's this Giant Enemy Crab... Edit: I love how the Drakken Cannon casually BMs you by aiming for your largest group and snaps to another(quite unfortunate if unattended) unit.

100 percent agree. Never had to restart so much on liberation day with wings of valarian. This one though i was in love with i think i played this and then enhanced swarm made me love the hots campaign

Okay one thing I love about that cannon at the end. it MELTS zergings giving you a "Oh shit this thing is strong" but does not do much to the queens taht just out heal it. Making it seem like a boss while still being pretty easy for new players. A mini boss if you will. that's such cool design. (I swear another video game did that same thing but for the life of me I can't think of it)
The real question would be if it could swivel to turn to fire at ground based targets - but assuming it can then yes absolutely - just make sure there's nothing you care about behind the enemy you are shooting at, like a city. x)
Given what I know about physics and lasers, it would probably ignite the oxygen in the atmosphere along the beam, with the igniting oxygen following the beam at a slower rate (though still very fast) and it would rapidly lose energy as the beam travels, dissipating the intensity of the beam until oxygen no longer ignites and just gets crazy hot. Near the end of it's range, you end up with a slight warming in a wide area. There would be secondary destructive effects, such as tornadoes and major fires. If the beam were pointed towards space however, it would still ignite oxygen and lose energy, but the atmosphere thins out as altitude increases, so much more of the energy could escape into space where it would probably dissipate even faster, but anything in its path would absorb a lot more energy. Ground to space laser cannons would require so much energy and be so inefficient as to be completely impractical and not very effective, with a lot of collateral damage, but it's a sci-fi video game, so whatever.
Yay! She’s one of my top 10 characters and her theme song is stuck to my head especially the first few seconds of the song so it was so familiar when you hummed it LOL
While the name is right, I'd like to add that the ENG translate is wrong because it spells it Huziwara no Mokou in the game (when Fujiwara no Mokou is indeed the correct name)
Grant, some "spoiler-tip" about something you should know - there will be "Endless life" ability in Kerrigan's abilities chamber, DO NOT abuse it's effect with endless-spamming zerglings (or any unit). That abuse causes a bug after some time, when the game stops loading effects, models and etc and it can softlock some missions like "Waking The Ancient" where quillgor biomass will stop spawning on quillgor kill. If missions will become too tough - it's not bad to lower the difficulty, because all enemy units have "Elite buff" which scales with campaign progression and gives them hell of a buffs. P.S. And also - try HTXL's mods, they are almost as good at that one.
That’s odd, I very much abused endless life in my play through to counter the AI’s mass building shenanigans and never had a problem up until the last mission. AI Raynor built like a dummy and blocked one of my endless stream of units main paths towards Mengsk’s shit and ended up with his base getting turned into a Zerg mosh pit for his troubles.
@@Voidthedeathbringer5 Increased larva production and their morphing into units speeds by 50% Gas efficiency one gives drones 2X harvesting instead of default 1.5X (default in case of that mod of course)
The stat calculation on many of the units, *especially* enemies, is kinda funny in the ways it varies how they work. As a general example, if something uses a machine gun or similar then its attack will be 3 or more smaller attacks per burst instead of one chunk of damage. (6 damage 1 attack --> 2 damage, 3 attacks) Feel free to click enemy units to see if they have some insane permutation to their attack or other attributes (descriptions too, like how wraiths in Back In The Saddle were called 'templar cannon fodder').
i like this. when i was a complete novice, i wondered why marines don't actually shoot several times. then i figured it might upset the balance too much. now i believe it could be made to work with enough effort. would also be nice to see units have more than a token amount of starting armor. surely there gotta be at least structures if not vehicles that can shrug off having needles thrown at them?
That's not stat calculation, that's the modder using create persistent effects to make multiple instances of damage effects be fired from the weapon, they just didn't set the 'attack count' field on weapon to 3 to show you that, or whatever the number is.
@@violetnred The reason why marines shoot once instead of multiple times is because of how damage calculation works. That is, each individual attack is decreased by armor value. So if a marine had a base damage total of 6 with 3 attacks IE 3 round burst (so 2x3 configuration for damage) then against any creature with an armor rating of 2 the marine would be forced to do the minimum damage of .5 per hit, thus instead of doing 4 damage in the 6x1 configuration it does 1.5 damage in the 2x3 configuration. Or to put it in simple terms... armor is multiplicative effectiveness depending on the hit count. It takes high damage per hit to deal with that. Which is why the Co-Op Vanguard is much weaker than the LotV campaign Vanguard, they both have the same hit count but the campaign version has higher base damage.
"if only you could APM for resources" - some CNC games allow that. harvester's ore finding is often suboptimal, so during the first minute or so there are opportunities to make it mine faster. depends on the game how much difference it makes.
That's changed quite a bit thanks to the community there. I think they're on R20 now. Things can be suboptimal at times, but it's no more than a few seconds every now and then. Things only get iffy in the super late game when auto harvest has your harvesters crossing into your opponents third to get destroyed due to the lack of tib in your own fields.
It’s also in StarCraft 2, conceptually. If you individually control your workers by issuing move commands, they don’t accelerate / decelerate when mining and returning to the base, resulting in a ~30% increase in resources. It’s also incredibly apm intensive, to the point that pros can only do it in the first few minutes of the game. But getting out 1 extra worker unit is worth it.
Note, you are very much going to love the htxl mods. The modder made mods for a bunch of overpowered variants of factions, like the umojangs and the leviathan swarm, and will go back and use those overpowered units as enemies. So if you start a mod by HTXL, there's a good chance the overpowered enemies will have their own playable campaign. And the crab is normally a siege unit like the liberator. Let me tell you, you were able to cheese so many objects with their range. And if I recall, the special dominion was the nova covert ops with covert or something like that.
So Grant mentions how raynor looks proper scale to kerrigan, and that blizzard always screwed up size differences. This was actually addressed when they made Kael'thas freaking huge in Tempest Keep in TBC. Basically, they want important characters to have a noticeable size difference for players to be able to notice them. . . and heroes/big bads should look more intimidating.They've tried making the models "to scale" before, but the models end up getting lost in the sauce during playtesting. It's silly, but it's required.
Yes, a very 'game mechanics' solution to a problem. Only other way to accomplish this is shiny, colorful and flashy effects, but those come with their own consequences.
How to impress Grant: 1. Make a big crab 2. Make a large laser 3. Make everything shiny and flashy Custom and unique abilities and mechanics never got such a response as a big laser
Now that you mention it, your Raynor and Kerrigan were using the skillset of Heroes of the Storm's Raynor and Nova respectively. Raynor was using Penetrating Round and Inspire, while Kerrigan was using Nova's Snipe and Holo Decoy with the 4th skill basically a retooled Precision Strike ultimate. The passive in the 3rd skill slot is unique to this mod though, which is for the better. Can't imagine Crippling Shot being a useful skill here.
The author of this mod is simply a genius. Truly the best mod I've seen in ALL this time. It will be very interesting to find out how it plays closer to the end, but the balance of resources that we have now is simply fantastic.
Hey big G, thank you for all the content you make. It's both entertaining, and it shows awesome mods that I (and I'm sure many others agree with me) enjoy playing. You're awesome, thank you for everything.
You should try Air and Ground reversed campaign later on, it's pretty much finished(although some bugs are present, but no gamebreaking stuff) I recommend rushing to Sigma Quadrant because the unit you unlock there is VERY funny. Don't recommend buying upgrades for it(Only Defensive Matrix if you took +100 Energy Upgrade.)
This looks so amazing. I have liked a lot of the mods and such that you have showcased but this one... oh boy this one looks like it's going to be amazing. I'm so excited to see what's going to happen after the primal zerg stuff.
oh wow, I was NOT expecting that huge lazer at the end. Probably should have taken a better look at the thumbnail lmao Also, the thing that impresses me the most about this mod, is how beautiful all the changes are. The new models look good, the skills look good, everything looks good.
I don't play starCraft but DevFlare, a friend of mine, introduced me to you and i love the stuff you do. it's really darn fun. also, as for the touhou theme, rise to the moon immortal smoke. my favourite character theme, Fujiwara no mokou. Didn't know you knew about it till Flare showed me this video. hope you are having a great year so far, Grant
The grammar might kill me, but other than that, this mod is totally amazeballs. You have bullshit, but guess what? So do the enemy. 7:25 Marauder didn't want to miss, so he made sure to detonate them at point-blank range. 11:15 Kinetic blast, delivered via high-kinetic bullet. 13:35 *HOLY SHI-* 16:21 "Fuck everything in that general direction!" 20:39 It's Chrono *and* area healing everything including buildings, which is busted. _I wonder what does the enemy have for you to have this?_ 21:51 Accurate recreation of the aftermath of poking a hornets' nest with a stick less than 20 meters long. 27:46 To borrow a quote from Tychus: "Wrath of God, *_INCOMING!"_* 28:17 I love how the Drakken Cannon casually BMs you by aiming for your largest group and snaps to another(quite unfortunate if unattented) unit.
Ngl I read ”google translate” and the first missing info box and the ????? hatchery gas mechanic and gave this a hard pass right away. Had no idea it’s going to be this amazing! Probably going to play through all of it now. First impressions aren't everything. :)
Did you take down that 5 minute video? It was frankly amazing. If it doesn't come back I'll root for you here instead. Good for you man, keep the ban hammer warm, and keep these Disappointed Dad videos coming. A lot of people on the internet need a stern-but-well-meaning talking down too every once in a while, and I love that you post these videos. Cheers!
Seems like it draws a bunch of inspiration/features from HotS, Jim has his kit, kerrigan has nova's decoy, and that ultralisk did the same charge kerrigan's does when you first summon it. Also i want me one of those laser drills.
Two other great details: the local Broodmother also arrives when she says "I am here." (She died very quickly) and those Umbra troops are costum models from a chines co-op mode that adds a ton of new comanders.
17:02 Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke, i'd recognize that melody anywhere I love Touhou 8, hands down the game with the best themes next to TH10. Love Mokou.
this mod does exactly to the archangel what i was going to do in my mod before i decided it was out of my intended scope; give him an auto attack that deals constant, small damage to apply constant time pressure to the player but also creates skillshots on/around you that you have to dodge to avoid most of the damage
This mod is also really balanced, first 3 missions have mercanery units which regenerate 1 hp per second. That puts you in big trouble if you don't destroy hole enemy's base
The sheer amount of custom models and animations is actually insane. Also it seems like quite a few enemies have fast attack speeds but low damage, so maybe armor will be more useful in this mod?
glad you're playing this one, just yesterday I was thinking of starting it but didn't want to deal with the bad translations. Now I can let you figure it all out for me! Thanks lol
Man... I really just don't understand how modders, which are usually just a single person or a very small handful of people, can put a huge AAA studio of a thousand people to absolute shame. I mean, this mod, Warcraft Reborn, Evolved Swarm, etc, holy shit, man! Dude, all the modders need to get together and start their own studio. Legitimately I think it'd be HUGELY successful.
Loving this content, I understand the terribleness but hope you continue. You and your channel are a bright light in the RUclips landscape and I'm happy every day when I see a new vid from you :)
11:13 Oh man yeah, once you mentioned it Jim is 100% just his Heroes of the Storm version. He even does the little "every fifth auto attack pierces in a line and does double damage" passive too
Oh this seems super cool. Ever since people started doing the race swap mods, I always pictured a Heart of the Swarm in my head where Kerrigan stays a ghost (Maybe infested or custom mecha zerg faction). It always bothered me she just goes straight to psionic blasts as soon as you start the campaign proper. I'm excited to see what her skill tree looks like and if there's any evo missions.
Wings of Valerian is a balance mess because of the rng Elite unit spawn. If you get too many elite spawn in a lot of the early mission you kinda just lose. Some mission lose because a wave of elite hit you before you can get your army going (Super ling+roaches on like evacuation). Others you can build enough unit that you can just A move and full clear the map (Mostly protoss, their elites just aren't that good except for vanguards). The late game is basically impossible without going a lot of mercenaries to defend against early elite spam. It doesnt help that mercenaries with the no charge consume lab research make it so they train so much faster than anything else. I think the most imbalanced mission I remembered from my playthrough are Evacuation (Super ling+roaches can hit you while you have to escort 2 van), Train (Why wouldnt it be), Engine of destruction (I didnt even let tychus touch any bases after the first 1 since everything inside those bases delete him in 2 second), Haven's fall (remember how they tell you in the tooltip to use viking to kill broodlords? Yea nice try they broodlords learned a thing or two from the Brood of Banes), Ghost of a chance(Spoiler). And then there is the protoss mission which i promptly just full clear the map for every single one of them since you units are so insanely strong.
hey grant, I saw you play this mod then instantly went to the discord to play it, and found out something that I really enjoyed, and am looking forward to seeing how you react to it, but basically, Zergling reconstitution, isn't that anymore, and it's so so much better, basically, you know how you've got the tech structures to make units like spawning pools, you're going to wanna build a lot of them, like a lot of them.
The best thing is google translate. Honestly I want to see a mod where everything is run through google translate like 4 or 5 times in different languages then back to english. And see how utterly chaotic the text is.
Super enhanced swarm. I can't wait to see how the Hydralisks, Swarm Hosts, Mutalisks, Infestors, and Ultralisks are done here. 27:46 And as powerful as the Zerg are here, the mod is still balanced for a challenge. This mod is just amazing and we're only 3 missions in.

That tooltip at 15:23... "Firebat: Ancient Greek god in charge of uh-uh EARTH"
the super laser at the end even makes sense, bc I swear in the lore it's an orbital defence laser, so would obviously just delete zerglings

Ngl I read ”google translate” and the first missing info box and the ????? hatchery gas mechanic and gave this a hard pass right away.
Had no idea it’s going to be this amazing! Probably going to play through all of it now. First impressions aren't everything. :)
Did you take down that 5 minute video? It was frankly amazing. If it doesn't come back I'll root for you here instead. Good for you man, keep the ban hammer warm, and keep these Disappointed Dad videos coming. A lot of people on the internet need a stern-but-well-meaning talking down too every once in a while, and I love that you post these videos. Cheers!
I think that was the enhanced swarm mod to be fair.
Your enthusiasm is contagious. Keep going, man!
Seems like it draws a bunch of inspiration/features from HotS, Jim has his kit, kerrigan has nova's decoy, and that ultralisk did the same charge kerrigan's does when you first summon it.
Also i want me one of those laser drills.
This has to be my favorite HoTS mod by far, chinese mods are some of the craziest and most fun mods I've played ever
12:14 Grant is Sans confirmed
Holy shit the amount of kills the drakken cannon must have had at the end XD
Two other great details: the local Broodmother also arrives when she says "I am here." (She died very quickly) and those Umbra troops are costum models from a chines co-op mode that adds a ton of new comanders.
The broodmother always shows up at the end, but she always dies really quickly.
She appears even in vanilla, but she looks like Zagara, that's why most of the time she gets lost in the crowd of queens at that moment.
17:02 Reach for the Moon, Immortal Smoke, i'd recognize that melody anywhere
I love Touhou 8, hands down the game with the best themes next to TH10. Love Mokou.
i already love this mod, the reveal that the pulse cannon can actually attack in this was an amazing reveal
That laser at the end, I hope to see more crabs, Such cool stuff going on.
i think the best thing about this mod is the infinite resources. You cant mine out. The only limiting factor is the mining speed.
Wow that's an interesting detail
6:01 Not even the Eradicator is immune to Carcinization, it too has become CRAB! Just as all things no doubt shall.
this mod does exactly to the archangel what i was going to do in my mod before i decided it was out of my intended scope; give him an auto attack that deals constant, small damage to apply constant time pressure to the player but also creates skillshots on/around you that you have to dodge to avoid most of the damage
This mod is also really balanced, first 3 missions have mercanery units which regenerate 1 hp per second. That puts you in big trouble if you don't destroy hole enemy's base
12:32 Grant turn into psionic dis pear
>dis pear
Come on, Seph, that ain't Cloud!
A small thing about this mod, I believe Kerrigan's snipe ability can target buildings, which is honestly wild
22:54 THE MARINE STUTTER STEPS!
imagine if the enemy actually micros
The production tab and macro features are one of the nicest things in AoE2 Definitive, pretty cool to see a production tab in SC2 as well
yeah China has plenty of very creative people that is unnoticed so please support them!
Great that you start playing this one! you won't believe the insanity of the last missions!
When the queens cast on the zerglings it looks like you are buffing pikmin. The effect looks so good!
Imagine a mod that turns all your units into Crabs of varying size.
The sheer amount of custom models and animations is actually insane.
Also it seems like quite a few enemies have fast attack speeds but low damage, so maybe armor will be more useful in this mod?
I feel like Grant proclaims "This is my favourite mod" within the first few missions of almost every new mod xD
I love how Raynor looks propper scale but the marines looks like ants compared to Kerrigan
They turned the orbital cannon into the biggest ever Hellion
20:19 - "...they're all over me"
glad you're playing this one, just yesterday I was thinking of starting it but didn't want to deal with the bad translations. Now I can let you figure it all out for me! Thanks lol
how could i not recognize 'Reach for The Moon ~ Immortal Smoke'? i literally started humming it as well
That was the most crisp "Wow" i've ever heard from Grant.
Man... I really just don't understand how modders, which are usually just a single person or a very small handful of people, can put a huge AAA studio of a thousand people to absolute shame. I mean, this mod, Warcraft Reborn, Evolved Swarm, etc, holy shit, man! Dude, all the modders need to get together and start their own studio. Legitimately I think it'd be HUGELY successful.
And Americans think they're number one in everything
@@razorback9999able Only the unreasonable ones think that.
@@too_s0ber910 Wait, what did I say in my comment? I didn't see it because YT flagged it.
Best mod of the year? This might be the best mod since Nightmare! That moment on the bridge actually caused my jaw to drop.
Damn those shooting effects of enemy commandos look SICK
17:03
immortal smoke ` reach for the moon
also a somewhat fitting character
oh no, now grant starts like lowko and will have multiple "game of the year" videos in one year ^^
Loving this content, I understand the terribleness but hope you continue. You and your channel are a bright light in the RUclips landscape and I'm happy every day when I see a new vid from you :)
11:13 Oh man yeah, once you mentioned it Jim is 100% just his Heroes of the Storm version. He even does the little "every fifth auto attack pierces in a line and does double damage" passive too
Oh this seems super cool. Ever since people started doing the race swap mods, I always pictured a Heart of the Swarm in my head where Kerrigan stays a ghost (Maybe infested or custom mecha zerg faction). It always bothered me she just goes straight to psionic blasts as soon as you start the campaign proper.
I'm excited to see what her skill tree looks like and if there's any evo missions.
Within 3 shots the Draken whooped 150 supplies off the map.
WHAT THE SCALLOP?? THIS IS AMAZING?! I have no words, Grant said it all.
Wings of Valerian is a balance mess because of the rng Elite unit spawn. If you get too many elite spawn in a lot of the early mission you kinda just lose. Some mission lose because a wave of elite hit you before you can get your army going (Super ling+roaches on like evacuation). Others you can build enough unit that you can just A move and full clear the map (Mostly protoss, their elites just aren't that good except for vanguards).
The late game is basically impossible without going a lot of mercenaries to defend against early elite spam. It doesnt help that mercenaries with the no charge consume lab research make it so they train so much faster than anything else.
I think the most imbalanced mission I remembered from my playthrough are Evacuation (Super ling+roaches can hit you while you have to escort 2 van), Train (Why wouldnt it be), Engine of destruction (I didnt even let tychus touch any bases after the first 1 since everything inside those bases delete him in 2 second), Haven's fall (remember how they tell you in the tooltip to use viking to kill broodlords? Yea nice try they broodlords learned a thing or two from the Brood of Banes), Ghost of a chance(Spoiler). And then there is the protoss mission which i promptly just full clear the map for every single one of them since you units are so insanely strong.
GIANT ENEMY CRAB! ATTACK IT'S WEAK SPOT FOR EXTRA DAMAG!
havent rewatched that part but i think grant sang Mokous theme there if im not mistaken
ohhoho it does NOT go down from here, this mod is a gift that keeps on giving
15:23
FIREBAT
Ancient Greek god in charge of uh-uh
EARTH
That gas turret being pink is a huge buff. Wish you had that on All In in the randomized mod
Bullet Hell Archangel was super cool to watch
Edit: Not as cool as the MICROWAVE LASER from Supreme Commander?? Well that was interesting!
hey grant, I saw you play this mod then instantly went to the discord to play it, and found out something that I really enjoyed, and am looking forward to seeing how you react to it, but basically, Zergling reconstitution, isn't that anymore, and it's so so much better, basically, you know how you've got the tech structures to make units like spawning pools, you're going to wanna build a lot of them, like a lot of them.
Heya Grant, the custom Mobius units are mainly from another mod, Wings of Valerian. Its another good mod I recommend :)
This feels like Red alert 2 type absurdity, Starcraft mechanics and just overall crazy fun!. Wow!! this is amazing!
Learned that Grant's favorite thing is giant mechanical crabs.... truly a man of culture.
The best thing is google translate. Honestly I want to see a mod where everything is run through google translate like 4 or 5 times in different languages then back to english. And see how utterly chaotic the text is.
Super enhanced swarm. I can't wait to see how the Hydralisks, Swarm Hosts, Mutalisks, Infestors, and Ultralisks are done here.
27:46 And as powerful as the Zerg are here, the mod is still balanced for a challenge.
This mod is just amazing and we're only 3 missions in.
i want a "no units lost" campaign of this XD
The dev saw the enhanced swarm mod and said bet
Like...
The first 2 shots of the laser took freaking 50 supply each......
I wonder how many kills did it have)
