Captain halts the invasion of Korhal

[@TheHappy115]

The tool-tip is only kinda correct. Basically, the AI makes a ton of Zerg using the shared money pool it has. When that runs dry, the AI significantly dampers down on the units it can product and attack with. However, it stills has the current units it had just made (or are lingering) in the base it chooses to attack with those remaining units. Kinda like how if you use your last minerals to make a Battlecruiser, the Battlecruiser doesn't just disappear. However, the amount of units send was originally so insane that it was massively nerfed. They secretly gather in spot and only send a few out at a time instead of all of them at once (And some get deleted when sent too). As an example of how insane the final wave use to be when resources ran dry, use to send like 30 guardians, 40 mutalisks, 40+ ultralisks and 60 or so hydralisk. Instead, it now just detectors for 6 attacking gaurdians, mutalisk, ultralisks and hydralisks and deletes 3 of each when doing so (but then adds some Zerglings) What is really really happening, is your fighting 4 super AIs and 1 Strong AI, and when the resources run out, the 4 Super AIs get "defeated" and removed. There are also stacked structures for their technology and those get removed if the structures are still there. Why am I explaining this? Because I like typing about this stuff XD

[@jayzenstyle]

Great read imho

[@vladislavkaras491]

It is really cool to hear devs commentary, actually! Thanks for it!

[@jamesdu2044]

The original attack was defensible with enough splash; huge waves of massed valks + devourer handled the air reasonably well. A few tanks on high ground islands could stall 200 supply of ground units due to crappy AI, letting you drip feed the attackers to prepared defenses. Put some marines (hold position to minimize retardation) and turrets on the high ground to help "peel" for your air units. Microwaving a single drop overlord in the middle of the group would cause entire packs to turn around; extremely efficient since they then unload units to get splash/AI stalled by siege tanks on the high ground.

[@TheHappy115]

@@jamesdu2044 The original army is not a released version and was the very first time I did a self test. Considering its 4 AIs as I mentioned, it is up to 800 supply. Unless you are nearly supply capped on tanks + lurkers, it most likely is going to get broken. So it was toned down for that reason.

[@jamesdu2044]

@@TheHappy115 Ahh. Though I will say unpathable high ground island AI interaction doesn't care; I've made some (crappy) defense maps that have been broken by 2 tanks on an island stalling 100+ supply. Perhaps a repeat (every 30s? 10s?) "men: attack target zone" trigger might bypass the problem

[@TheWarmachine375]

The UED Captain had studied tactics very well and unwittingly saves Raynor, Fenix and Mengsk of Kerrigan's predictable betrayal.

[@ZerothVeratross]

The reverse brood war missions have been excellent, so many large scale battles.

[@ExecutorNral]

Fenix must be overjoyed for the next mission

[@ForThePrince]

large scale battle means very hard,I'm already having a hard time with ep2zerg reverse campaign as enemy throws countless mutalisks against me

@@ForThePrincedude for real, I struggled so much with egression cause anytime I’d get built up and have a decent economy I’d get destroyed by mass muta’s.

[@tzeshern]

​@@ExecutorNraland that mission need to be fast in building your forces since Fenix and duke will go attack after some time and they must survive

[@ForThePrince]

I think I just figured out how to finish this,just build another gateway(that makes it two)and keep warp in dragoon,do not even think to upgrade,you'll need many dragoon,and attack from the upper path with everything you have right from the start so that you can evade the hunterkiller attack,destroy on hatchery in the first three minutes and keep dragoon rush,then you can win within 10minutes.@@BradCashew

[@vaniellys]

I love the UED Zerg having a Refinery and the UED Terran having an Extractor. It makes no bloody sense but it's funny

[@Tanis_64]

In this timeline the UED zerg and terran vespene gaysers collector are switched cause it's a testing purpose

[@B-FIFTYTWO]

I wonder what will the SCVs see inside the Zerg Extractor, and what will the drones see inside the Terran Refinery. Both workers experiencing culture shock.

[@Tanis_64]

​​@@B-FIFTYTWOboth workers just now getting used after getting swapped they like it cause there bored of the same vespene collector

[@ATOQ777]

I was about to comment on this, it is actually very practical since the Extractor being a living organism will not need UED resources (SCV build time, equipment, steel) and will do all the mule work in the vespene refining process without needing additional manpower or supervision.

[@sigmaropininexus4315]

@@ATOQ777Here’s the fun one. The UED Refinery Supervisor will be more relaxed knowing that drones are more cooperative compared to the lazy and somewhat disobedient SCV. The SCV inside extractor will be like “Finally, we get to relax without our boss bothering us.

The ultralisk that gets defense matrixed in the entire battle: I'M FUCKING INVINCIBLE!!!

The torraspue: Look like I found a worthy opponent.

05:15 Look Bob, those Zerg balloons stacked all together. It would be a shame if someone throws needles at them!

[@Tanis_64]

Offensive over lord attack they have enough by scaring them like there aboutta attack and it did not work

[@AmandaFessler]

That Valkyrie micro was utterly INSANE. Like a heart pounding chase scene trying to kite those scourges into ground-based AA. Seriously a highlight. Speaking of Valkyries, they just wreck things when combined with Guardians. That's the amazing thing when you combine Zerg evolution with the greatest military technology in the galaxy!

[@TheWarmachine375]

UED and Zerg working together to take down the Concubine of the Zerg, and avert that lame prophecy as well.

[@FlymanMS]

Terrans finally got good anti air static defense

[@TammoKorsai]

Did they finally make Jim stop being a simp?

[@jacobweatherford4696]

I dont think amon wanted the ued to control the zerg and its probably because he knew that he wouldnt be able to take over the universe if the ued had control of the zerg

[@LamborghiniDiabloSVPursuit]

*Meanwhile* Zealot: Preator Fenix, I bring news. Kerrigan's side of the offensive has stalled considerably. It is highly unlikely she'll succeed. Fenix: Unfortunate, but understandable. She's facing the brunt of the UED, we must have faith in her abilities- Zealot: Preator, she's using mass devourers without mutalisk support. Fenix: I see. Templar, pack it up. We're going back to Shakuras. Our teammate's an F-rank scrub.

[@airbournestrike]

Well played Captain Nral. You're contributions to the United Earth Directorate has been duly noticed and be rewarded handsomely

[@zlt__]

damn, now that is some REALLY interesting stuff First, Terran+Zerg is the most rare ally combination historically, and it has so much potential and, idk, it's just so satisfying seeing terran air fighters supporting lurkers Also, these ultras with defence matrix

[@TTFTW]

Terran and zerg working together just makes me imagine a picture of a marine with a pet zergling, an armored ultralisk with a defensive matrix, and a mutant battlecruiser with guardian and devourer parts. (Honorable mention: a flying sentient supply depot)

[@TheNobody1324]

Also that Overlord with a rifle from Carbot

[@garakds9]

You should be excited for the next mission because you will be fighting alongside Fenix and Duke.

[@sigmaropininexus4315]

Next mission with Duke and Fenix? Oh yes! Bring it on.

[@garakds9]

@@sigmaropininexus4315 But the mission was not easy. It took me 3 tries to beat it.

Controlling Terran and Zerg units sounds pure unadulterated awesome.

Seeing defence matrix on an Ultralisk sure is a sight to behold. Can you imagine defence matrix on Torrasque?!

I can imagine many soldier screeming "U.E.D! U.E.D! U.E.D!" After repeling the invasion.

Kerrigan: "Maybe the UED is having more difficulty controlling the Overmind than I thought?" Dugalle: "Maybe we should play some more Pop Music through the Psi Disruptor.." Overmind: "JUST END ME!! PLEASE!! I BEG YO---" [Abruptly Begins Singing A Lady Gaga Song]

[@kadabarVIM]

The UED captain strangely has a knack for commanding Zerg

[@Tanis_64]

I tought its just the adjudent but no the overmind just also said evolution complete so you have 2 assistants now

Baby Overmind became the UED's Bitch

[@Tanis_64]

Then there's infested stukov who just turned against his buddy in this timeline now after getting revived by the young overmind

I think it was always like that. In final Protoss mission you also control Terran base of Raynor and adjutant will also throw her bits in.

Just another Tuesday on Korhal

[@Rukasu.2603]

Damn, UED Captain should be promoted to at least Rear Admiral rank after this! 😁 Such a slaughter done in the name of Humanity 😝

[@glennpendleton9520]

loved the defense matrices on the allied ultralisk

[@neotimekeeper6592]

I find it interesting in how Happy115 handled the player-controlled Zerg by limiting you to 10 Overlords to not make them overpowered strategy-wise. Take care and have a good day/night everyone!

[@MajkaSrajka]

You don't need to combo anything with zerg to make it overpowered - the dark swarm alone (especially with lurkers) is enough :P I wonder if defilers are unlocked on this map or not.

[@ATOQ777]

It's consistent lore-wise as well, the UED were having trouble utilizing the Zerg to their maximum capacity.

[@vladislavkaras491]

Thanks for the video! Really cool campaign!

[@gaborsimon3299]

There was SOME INSANE gameplay here. DefMatrix Ultralisk

[@lhfirex]

Imagining an army of cracklings + medics sounds like it would destroy the enemy base in no time. And that's before adding in ultras. Also the idea of a mixed air force of valks + guardians seems pretty sick.

[@Gabrielbarsch]

the real challenge here is to win without losing the blue allies

[@WhiteFangofWar]

TZ, two great tastes that taste great together. I suppose Mission 8 will be similar.

[@MatZee27]

Sweet UED victory that ultralisk with matrix shield tho

[@hassanawdi3793]

I thought Kerrigan wasn't able to gather 10000 minerals

[@Remitonov]

Each reversed mission is an alternate timeline by itself. In this timeline, the UED Captain wasnt taught some good old fashioned discipline until the loss of the Psi Disruptor, while Kerrigan didnt get hers handed by the Kel-Morian Combine like the timeline last mission.

[@saulmedeiros8836]

That would be my favorite campaign, secure the UED and defeat the counter attack from Kerrigan and Mengsk. The good ending.

[@ZzCal123]

cant wait for the overmind mission Neurostims

Finally some Zerg/Terran hybrid race I always wanted to have the UED as a separate faction with Zerg on the side

Tactical overlord rush at enemy base. Where Kerrigan studied tactics?

Ive never used restoration beyond using it once to cure being parasited. So its weird to see someone actually using it. When mech units got hit with plauge, Id just keep them safe till it wore out and then repair them

[@davidv4230]

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, does this mean it's time for Duke to teach Kerrigan some tactics in the next mission?

[@Storm2war]

Wow an army of battle cruisers and guardians combined that what I say a deadly combo

[@Vantud391]

Seem like a hard mission. The UED now will stand supreme and take terrankind to new a age😅 I wonder if Duran hybrid force still can wreck UED like with Dominion. Will he still disguise as Narud and use UED to create more Hybrid?

[@razorback9999able]

Next mission: Mengsk: Thank you Raynor, for helping me and Duke eliminate the Queen of Blades, but I'm afraid that with your newfound Protoss allies, you have became a potential threat to my Dominion.

The captain here is the true MVP. He carried the whole Koprulu sector on his shoulders by single handedly saving us from the terrible SC2 storyline in the alternative timelines where Tassadar couldn't teach young raynor to stop simping. This boi sure properly studied tactics back in Earth.

[@darumaichi]
