StarCraft Remastered: UEDAIP xZ3 - The Kel-Morian Combine

[@UEDAIP]

I could give you an interesting bit of dev trivia, but instead I'll give you the most boring one - this is one of two missions where Blizzard uses external calls in their AI script code, and as such, forces me to only store the modified code in the aiscript file, instead of externally as I store all other scripts. External copies would bug out the compiler when trying to perform the external call. Ultralisk speed is more expensive since it also doubles Ultralisk HP regen - increased regeneration is also why Zerg Flyer Carapace costs that extra 10 mins/gas. The idea behind it is to make it so that you can actually somewhat rely on the regen of lategame Zerg units.

[@Draeckon]

I notice you modeled Fenix's weapons after his HotS weapon modes. I like that!

[@UEDAIP]

@@Draeckon Yep! I could make them change based on range (instead of ground/air) as well, maybe that would be cool.

[@t.va.6611]

I like it that blue one is more active... sort of. This mission actually made me think that Overlords are OP back in days. As a side note i want to say that in SC/BW sneaking to a zerg opponent was a pain in the ass because of flying supply/detectors/transport, they fixed it in SC2 but i still can't guess how they let it slip. And modding it is annoying because of limited units number. So fail on blizzard part again, one step forward, two steps back.

[@Blazieth]

What do you mean by "External calls in their AI script code"? What are they calling, and why? (Or is that unknown?)

[@UEDAIP]

@@Blazieth theyre calling other aiscripts. Normally each script is contained within its entry, those make calls to other entries. Why? Just for convenience I guess, Im not sure if its really needed

[@alanspirand880]

Fun fact: Color Teal from original Starcraft is signed as "Kel-Morian Combine". This map is also the only one to feature the combine as your direct enemy. The map has 6 factions on it, and neither of them is teal.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

Always dissapointed me when I was a kid.

[@GRRStarcraft]

The guys making this got so passionate they got discount Charles Martinet to do some voice acting

[@АндрейМилошевич]

2:24 lol sounds as Italian, like “WHERE IS MY SPAGETTI!!!”

[@retloclive9118]

I always find it kinda funny that the map is designed for the player to take the starting high-ground expansion below brown, but Jay never goes for it because he hates drop play.

[@JayborinoPlays]

Never!

[@Blazieth]

I have never once thought to do that early on. My instinct was always to move towards red first.

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

to be fair, they're usually the last ones I get too.

[@lordBritish1]

I actually like drop playing but not on this mission. This mission is meant to be drop played. I don’t enjoy being forced to play a certain way.

[@miniverse2002]

I hope I wasn't the only one whose heart jumped when "LIVE FOR THE SWARM!" played the first time.

[@miazmatic7404]

Zerg!? Here? Mining MY minerals!?

[@Blazieth]

I love Julian bitching the first time you kill a Battlecruiser. "Do you have any idea how much that cost me?!" And yes, the trigger plays the first time White loses a Battlecruiser.

[@CenturyOldPanda]

Jay: regarding to nuke duration and playing as UED. The duration is not shortened during the UED campaign. I am still playing the UED campaign and I made extensive use of nuke. Can confirm nuke duration is same as original Brood War. Seems the duration is only shortened in the Zerg campaign to make your life harder.

[@roshango125ab]

As cheesy as julian is I love is presence in this mission. I always thought the Kel Morian Combine was an interesting premise, a mining and shipping corporation that became big enough to become a corporate nation, kinda like a cyberpunk idea. Thought they'd make great side villains but I was alway disappointed that is was they only time you see the actual KCM in any starcraft mission and they don't have any real representation with an actual character. So it's cool to give them a goofy antagonist

[@UEDAIP]

Glad you like him! He comes back one more time in this campaign.

[@roshango125ab]

@@UEDAIP that's exciting, I played a little bit of this mod campaign but I haven't been able to play more then the first couple missions

[@Draeckon]

Yeah, outside of this, we really only see the KMC mentioned by other characters in SC2 and in bits of flavor. Swann and some of Raynor's boys used to be miners working for them until Raynor came in and helped them rise up against their taskmasters, as I recall correctly.

[@t.va.6611]

@@UEDAIP fuck that last time tbh. In a good way, but still. It's like: - What? One more?! Uuuuuugghhh.

[@Blazieth]

@@t.va.6611 And he's not even the last one to show up.

[@dimbasz]

Julian be like: "SOMEBODY TOUCHA MY MINERL!!!"

[@t.va.6611]

35:29 This is a nice drone you have saved there from a nuke, it would be such a shame if something happens to it. *drone explodes*

[@АндрейМилошевич]

Do research Under Ground for Zerg, they can regenerate

[@jeru_jj1161]

I can bet Julian will come back in mission 10.

[@alexbridden1594]

I found 3 of those data disc items called "Tome of intelligence" on this map. I thought it was funny, but nothing happened when I picked them up with drones. Anybody know what they're for? Also, I gotta say that Julian is hilarious. He totally caught me off guard.

[@ryuuyukiyama7554]

Woah, never thought I'd be here this early. This mission has always been pretty finicky for me even in vanilla, really curious how different things are this time around :D

[@tomsko863]

All of the units have some tweeks to them. It would be nice for you to mouse over them for us to get an idea what's changed.

[@MrBoBrilO]

After watching this UEDAIP series I really want some ueadaip in warcraft 3 campaigns :(

[@Dianbler]

I really want to play this, but man, it would kick my ass. It's been a while since I last played SC1

[@Kick_ma]

Like the idea of autorally. Is it possible to have x2 rally commands 1 for drones 1 for everything else?

[@Storm2war]

julian voice...zerh here mining my minerals!!!! wow so silly

[@KaiserMattTygore927]

One of these days someone will make the KMC their actual team colors.

[@jedimindtrick3391]

Protoss siege tank = Fenix lol op.

[@supermen-sj3zw]

I thought you can only built on creep

[@Blazieth]

The mod allows you to build Creep Colonies off of Creep; however, they take longer to build, and cost more. (however, upgrading to Sunken/Spore is made cheaper and faster by the same amount).

[@martinmarzano1523]

Jay everytime I see you play Zerg, a shard of my soul dies inside me Pls

[@JayborinoPlays]

The lack of context to this comment provides me no information.

[@UEDAIP]

@@JayborinoPlays You missed 3 books in this mission

[@Tower-kn1dr]

@@UEDAIP what do they do?

[@hub1986]

I like the JULIAN character such a Noble Captalism fellow haha GG m8 Weird that the infested command center objective did not pop up maybe its a hidden objective

[@Blazieth]

I forget why he removed the notice about it, but they *do* still carry forward. The difference though, is he uses Bank Data to figure out how many you get next mission... instead of how Blizzard did it... which is to have *six different versions of the map* for each possible number of Infested Command Centers.

[@Zidana123]

"it seems like the nuke time is decreased" This IS the You Yee Dee Aey Eye Pee after all. Terran needs more buffs!

[@chrism6168]

fenix is pretty delusional here.. he want to save the sector from who??? aiding kerrigan and the zerg is "helping" saving the sector from the UED terrans?? are terrans so frightening to the protoss?? since when?? the zerg almost made them extinct..

[@Tower-kn1dr]

they managed to control overmind. You know the biggest and most strongest zerg in a sector. After it matures its gonna be unstopable.

[@emilchan5379]

Eh the Zerg certainly did not make the Terrans almost extinct. Sure, they devastated the Confederate homeworld of Tarsonis (thanks to Mengsk) and a few border worlds, but the Umojan Protectorate and the Kel Morian Combine, the 2 other major Terran power blocs, were relatively untouched. Meanwhile the UED showed up out of nowhere, from a planet goodness knows how far away, took over the Dominion throne world of Korhal, then invaded Char and took control of the Overmind and hence a whole bunch of Zerg. Yeah it is pretty understandable why even the Protoss may be wary of the UED.

[@sagacity1071]

Broodwar has worse plot than HOTS... almost

[@minime637smith5]

O Jay I played this map left some scv in the enemy bases and they all rebuilt there Command Center I had to take it five time in each bases but the good new is I was cheating with Godmode lol

[@Blazieth]

Yup, that's one of the main gimmicks of this mod - the enemy will expand, and rebuild if you give them the chance. You wanna take them outta the fight, you gotta make sure they *can't* rebuild.
