not sure why you got 4 gases as raynor p1, then rebuilt the 4th gas even though you already had 1000s of gas that you couldnt use (the nat gas got destroyed by going nuclear)

Woow😂

Now that was great team work. Well done!

I like this mission - a good replayability value in that one since there are many ways to beat it: - Digging in near the first gold mine and just defending while you slowly but surely gather wood. - Clearing the entire map for the enemy Trees 3000 wood bounty. - Doing a 50/50 approach with clearing some enemy base(s) and unlocking Shredders. Also you can make Grom really strong here - with lvl6 he unlocks his ultimate that can shred groups of enemies and structures, and he can buy 5-6 Rings of Regeneration here from Goblin shop to make him VERY durable. Well-used he can basically solo like half of the map with those 2 things. Also since he is an agility hero (meaning he gets more armor on average) he stacks with regen items extremely well, cause enemies do much less damage WHILE he also regenerates HP like crazy.

47:45 Ah yes, let's destroy a 110/80 tower to free a 75/0 worker - economics major right there.

26:50 Yeah.. that was DEFINITELY a mistake NOT to get Bladestorm - one of the best ultimate skills in the game.

It's a nice and relaxing macro mission, as it should be for the first macro mission in the campaign (there will be exceptions to this in the future). As per usual - you struggled here due to poor decision making. The moment you saw 4 enemy bases the very first instinct should have been "I need like 20 towers before I leave the base". With some foresight you can also build all your towers at the crossroads in the middle of the map - that way those towers would intercept all incoming attack waves and you would have a forward position to strike from/retreat to when attacking the enemy. Another thing - you realise you had an ally here right? It's best to just join in with him to attack a base (once you have defenses in place and solid army ofc) rather than attack alone and have allied troops go to waste. With two heroes and two armies you can EASILY crush a base.

47:35 I like the use of Carbot music here.

Fun fact about this mission - you can "save Grom from himself" here. What I mean is that you can fully wall-in Grom in his base with structures, which will make him unable to go out and aggro Human bases. Another fun fact - if you keep friendly firing Grom and his base he turns against you and attacks you for the rest of the game heh.

Yeah this is one of the (VERY few) missions where exploration is a bad idea. Most of the items you can get from side-camps are really weak, not worth the damage/delay on the convoy. The only decent loot is from the Centaur Chieftain (Pendant of Energy), all others can easily be ignored. Best way to play this is to just fully-focus on pushing forward without clearing any side-camps (except maybe the late Chieftain one for the Pendant) and have Taurens handle the back side attacks. That way mission progresses MUCH faster since Kodos keep moving forward all the time and thus - less neverending enemy attacks to handle -> less damage taken.

11:55 -> bodyblocks hurt Kodo from getting to the fountain. -> "Why is the Kodo not (healing)?". True sadist.

Every time he says "Let me" take a shot

Good choice witrh Wolves skill. This is probably the best skill Warlocks have. Having an ability to summon 2 (basically) free units that can tank AND do solid amount of damage is huge. At lvl5 they are also invisible until they attack, making them excellent scouts (and thus making Farsight almost useless by comparison lol). Also a note about Lightning Shield - that spell damages ALL units around the target, so it's a double-edged sword that is very powerful but needs to be used carefully. If you cast it on your melee frontline unit your other frontliners near it will take damage as well, not just the enemy. For that reason it can be cast on the enemies as well, e.g. if enemy has a big shooter line in the back you can cast on the one in the middle to damage all the others around it.

25:03 The man barely survived the battle, just to be mercilessly CUT DOWN by his own brothers in arms... shame.

GG for beating the second campaign! A number of things to address though: - You were getting attack and defense upgrades for Ghouls/Abominations instead of the ones for Crypt Fiends/Frost Wyrms, that is why Fiends were so weak. Read what the upgrade gives you before reserching it and judge if it's worth getting - money can be strict in this game so getting all upgrades is usually ill-advised. - Siege Engines are not so tanky cause of ~4 armor, but because of their armor type. Each unit and structure has an armor TYPE aside from armor VALUE, kind of like light/armored/mechanical units in SC2 or small/medium/big units in SC1. Siege Engines have Fortified armor which is structure-type armor and heavily reduces ALL other damage types except for Siege and Chaos. Most effective counter to them here would be Meat Wagons (Siege) or Chaos units you got from Kel'thuzad since they do Chaos damage. You can learn about armor/damage types by hovering over a given unit's armor/attack icons. - Towers are good, but you need to know how to build them properly to maximise their usefulness. When you randomly place towers like you did here they can: become susceptible to AoE attacks (like Blizzard spell from Archmage), not fire all at once by being too spread out, not give proper cover for a worker repairing them from behind or body block your army like you saw here. Optimal placement can make 10 towers work/survive much better than 20 randomly spread-out ones. - You know you can stack some consumable items of the same kind right? For example you can carry up to 5 potions/spells of the same type in one spot, e.g. 5 small healing potions, 5 mana scrolls etc. In case of Goblin mines you can carry 6 in a slot, so you could have just dropped 2 items, picked up 12 mines at once, placed them and came back for items in the first minute of the mission. Instead you chose to do 4 trips lol. Even if you didn't know about stacking you could have just dropped 4 items to quickly place the mines (you would also notice them stacking up in just 2 slots). - This mission gives you a good hint on scouting and anticipating enemy attack waves with Shades. You could have placed Shades in the strategic points on the map, which would warn you of an incoming attack from a given side. That would give you the time to move the army to the proper side and assist towers there before attack would arrive. You need to pay more attention to minimap though. - It is good that you noticed the upkeep and took that lesson to heart, but in my view you went a bit overboard in the other direction now. Having 2 gold mines = 20 gold income with -<=50 supply, 14 gold income with <=80 supply and 8 gold income with >80 supply. Sometimes it is better to get a bigger army after setting up basic turret lines than having to keep losing structures and units left and right due to weak supporting army. For example here you could have built ~10 towers per side and then got up to 80 supply of Frost Wyrms for a quick and strong reaction force. Income would still be decent and army would be very strong as well.

9:40 My good man, this is just second wave with only 4 units. Saying "this is more challenging than it appears to be" is a tad bit too early I'd say lol.

4:55 Now that was a proper speedrun to lose the mission - died to the very first wave lol.

Yeah you did take your sweet time here.. this is one of the easiest missions, at least in this campaign. This is also a Reforged mission. In my view they did a 10/10 job upgrading this mission. Originally there was no bonus objective to snipe the 9 wizards, map layout was much more plain and in general there weren't that many "wizardry" things going on, including Antonidas battle where it was just a bog-standard fight while here it feels like an actual boss. Reforged definitely delivered with this one.

Aww you missed a really juicy item here. You always go back and keep checking the spawn points on the map but HERE where it actually held a secret you didn't. If you went back and scouted around the forests where you got your first Frost Wyrm with some air unit you would find a high level Troll behind the trees. If you killed it it would drop a Sobi Mask, which grants +50% mana regen for a hero - great item.

1:04:27 Now that was a waste if I ever saw one... By the way you know you can set Ice Armor to auto cast right? Whenever an ability has yellow corners it means you can right click it for auto casting.

This is one of my favorite missions in WC3. There are: - multiple enemy bases to destroy in any order that you want - a lot of decent loot to find around the map, with one as a secret behind trees (plus so many power-up tomes from enemy heroes). - FROST WYRMS, which are probably my favorite units in the game - power duo of heroes unlocked, Death Knight + Lich is super strong due to Death Coil + Frost Nova burst damage combo AND even in 1v1 it is a meta to go for those two heroes because of that. - we get to fight the Orks which is probably one of the rarer factions to fight in the entire game, more often we fight either Undead or Humans. There is little to no downside to this map in my view, just pure fun. The only semi-downside is that Red gets to build Red Dragons, which I'm super envious of cause we don't get to do that at any point in the campaigns sadly...

Heh I see you took to heart the lesson of towering up. Fun fact - this is one of the few Reforged missions. In the original the map was inverted (you started in top right while enemy main base was at the bottom) and enemy main city was much more plain in terms of defenses and how it looked. Also I think there was no Anasterian hero defending the city, they retrospectively expanded this mission based on WoW.

24:08 "Where is Arthas?" - meanwhile you had the prompt on the middle of the screen about his death for like 10 seconds now heh.

GG, finally you were able to overcome the blockade. To be fair this mission is still on the easier side, there will be WAAY harder missions coming in the future, especially some of the defense missions can be really hard. At least good that you finally learned that static d is great and very useful at times. You did spread out your turrets a bit too wide though in my view. For example in the main base you could have easily defended with a solid wall of around 10-12 Ziggurats easily, with one dude left on repair duty (remember that you can auto-cast Repair just like in SC2). I like to build turrets in that formation: ▭▭▭▭▭▭▭▭ ▭ ▭ ▭ ▭ That way a worker can stay behind a solid line and be able to fix them from safety (at least from melee attackers and some dumb ranged ones).

7:59 You had the EXACT same hint in previous mission man.

1:16:38 I can hear all the facepalms that viewers of this video did when you switched out Pendant of Energy for a Spider Ring lol.

42:06 No wonder you ragequit next mission after I saw this... you keep setting up 2-3 Towers in an exposed area without any protection. Then you expect them to solo def big enemy attack waves when previously they kept dying and dying in that number/without any support. The whole point of setting up a defensive line is for it to ACTUALLY defend, not just scratch the enemy and buy some time for the whole army to go back, just so you can arrive to half-destroyed base so you can waste money rebuilding it. Towers are pretty strong in this game, but not strong enough to hold entire enemy attack waves with like 2-3 of them. In most cases you need like 6-7+ with repairing worker(s) waiting behind in order for them to survive. Also good to have some units waiting in the base in case enemy brings in siege weapons that can outrange and quickly destroy static d.

19:20 As you can see there are rocks blocking the way for your army, so it is not the intended path. Only small units like Ghouls and Necros barely managed to go through.

The item you missed was some pretty underwhelming one - I think it gave like slightly increased vision range or something like that. Now what you DID miss was Sasquatch Society - it was hidden in the top left fogged area, all you had to do to reach it was to cut down the trees next to the bandit camp at 14:30 with Meat Wagons.

Watching this intro made me realize how many similarities there are plot-wise between Starcraft 1/2 and Warcraft 3. Basically: - Arthas = Kerrigan - Lich King = Overmind - Tichondrius = Narud/Duran - The Burning Legion/Archimonde (you will see him later) = Amon I'm thinking who could be Mengsk, there is one moderate candidate but for that we will have to wait for The Frozen Throne heh.

Initially I really disliked this mission when I played it, but it grew on me over time. It's nice that you have to actually play carefully for once, instead of a-moving your way through the map like on most no-build missions. Also you missed some juicy secrets. If you manage to destroy the barracks visible at 12:00 it drops Ring of Protection +1. Now here is a trickier one. There is a big covered in fog area between Arthas and Tichondrius (very noticeable at 30:48 on the minimap). There are some rock golems there, where one of them has Gauntlets of Giant Strength (+3 strength, BIG buff for Arthas). To get there you have to cut down some trees with Ghouls, starting to the left side of that foggy area (starting point can be seen around 25:19 iirc). But you have to ATTACK the trees, not right click them. Right click makes them gather wood and eventually be full, attack allows them to cut them down no matter how much wood they are carrying.

13:36 Same here to be honest. Here is a mini-spoiler - Dreadlord hero, with all of his unchanged abilities is the ONLY faction hero you will not get to play in the campaigns. All faction heroes you get to play at least for a while in the campaigns, Dreadlords - nope. Kind of a shame, they look cool and have some interesting abilities, including a REALLY OP lvl6 ability.

6:40 Excellent work marine!

26min Lock...

I see the ending cutscene is still bugged, it has game music playing over it

GG, first campaign over. I do have to say though - you had it pretty easy here for some reason. Normally Green attacks you waay more often, here for you it stopped attacking for like 15mins after you got the Frostmourne. Still, nice that you handled it pretty easily.

4:38 Did you intentionally destroy that artifact?

The ultimate didn't resurrect all because the nerubian queen summoned skeletons from your footmen bodies is my guess, and the Captain died after using it

Mall'ganis got stuck at 69 citizens. Don't know if it's a bug, or intended to let the player win (some missions have a bit of anti-losing mechanics)

16:15 You got saved by a patch/Reforged. In the original you couldn't target the ships with Storm Bolt so you had to use ranged units.

11:48 The "intended" way to do this would be to buy 1-2 of those Amulets of Recall for Arthas, have him run through the death valley alone with immortality and then recall all the units to him with the amulets. Also Divine Shield makes him literally immortal and untargetable, so at 12:09 when you wanted Arthas to "tank some damage for the army" you were doing the complete opposite. That is why this ability is usually taken last, since heroes are good FOR tanking damage, not avoiding it and having the army tank for them. Still useful to avoid death at times, but in big battles it is less than useful.

Yeah this mission is pretty chill. The only semi-difficulty is that you can lose a lot of stuff early on when the enemy attacks you with like 12 Gargoyles while you have not that much AA.

No ESOs AND using Shadow nukes... <sobs> I'm so proud of you boy! In all seriousness pretty good 1st attempt. The things that I would change though: - delay War Factory and Starport until MUCH later, focus on getting at least one Shadow ASAP. - keep building extra Nuke silos right after getting 1st Shadow - they are your main damage source. - do NOT get Witnesses - they cost a lot gas that you need for more Shadows/Nukes. - do NOT get infantry upgrades at ebays (except drop pod one) - Shadows do not benefit for those and your troopers are basically a mineral dump to tank for Shadows. - once you have an expo, couple of Shadows and like 10 silos you can get Starport and few medivacs for heals, but that's pretty much it - rest of the gas should go into silos.

5:40 Ally gets attacked - 0 reaction from you. He was HANDLING THE ENTIRE EARLY GAME FOR YOU! Shame.

so ezzzzzzzzzzzz

Fun fact - this is one of the few "reforged" missions, as in - they changed the map/layout/enemy behavior of it compared to the original. In the original this mission is MUCH easier - enemy barely ever attacks you and with small forces, your base is at the top right of the map and there are no enemy waves teleporting behind your base. With that version you can really internalize murdering civillians. This version on the other hand devs/designers went like "Screw it, let's make it a multitasking hell for the player by throwing strong attacks all the time at him". I'm not even sure if Mal'Ganis had his ult in this mission in the original (Summon Infernal - that big green flamey monster that does a ton of damage and can take a ton of damage as well). Still - you were able to beat it in just few reloads on highest difficulty, respect. Next few missions shouldn't be too hard for you then, they were not buffed like this one was.

39:35 .. I'm not sure this is a good idea to try and 1v1 him now Arthas. I'm pretty sure that Dreadlord can just summon an Infernal right on top of you and commence annihilation. Meanwhile you ult is only useful when you are in a (dead) group. Though Holy Light is a nice damage spell vs Undead, and you have Divine Shield for like half the time. Hard to say who would come out on tp but my money is on Mal'Ganis with Infernal.

19:42 Yes, yes you did.
