StarCraft: Remastered - ALL Zerg Units!

[@restlessfrager]

He doesn't know anything about the queen so here goes : Parasite is a permanent "Revelation" on a single unit. Ensnare is an AoE ability that applies a severe slow effect and reveals cloaked units, Spawn Broodlings kills a ground unit and spawns two broodlings for the zerg player in their place. (Doesn't work on Probes, Reavers, Archons and Dark Archons). And of course there's infest, which allows you to steal a command center that is at critical HP to make Infested terrans from it, which have been talked about in length by the other viewers in the comment section.

[@kenmanibo5578]

restlessfrager bless bro. I was upset he didn't go over the queen and defiler that thoroughly 🙏

[@arkontramps6470]

The infested Terran deals 500 Damage! One shot every Groundunit, doing splashdamage, one shot all defensestructurs. And you can't show it, what a shame ^^

[@justinthompson6364]

Yeah, kinda wished they were in SCII. Or at least a mod, cause the only one I could find that mimics SC Brood war didn't have that feature.

[@eg-a2357]

They are basically like an OP baneling in sc2.

[@brettjacobson4600]

Enraged 😠 Gamer - Diep, Agar, Slither and more! Op because they're really hard to get lol. Have to have a queen, damage an enemy terran command center, infest it with queen, then don't lose your new damaged command center lol

[@harrisoncho3501]

Arkontramps well it cost like 4 banelings and have friendly fire so not that op actully.

[@arkontramps6470]

@Brett the Command Center reheal to full life, and you can fly it away. To steel an expansion is possible. @Cho Yeah, but what is, if you can micro like solar ;-)

[@MrDgf97]

"technical bugs that turned into features" so brood war really is like the melee for the starcraft series

[@JFMHunter]

ayy

[@minkere]

Overlord: AAARGHU, VIEEEEH, YAAAHUE, GRAAAAUGH

[@jasonlim1723]

Hahaha pretty much!

[@xignum]

i can hear this

[@elithaleshepard6787]

What bugs me the most is that I could tell which is which

[@randomcomplex6155]

13:45 Dude, the Queen *is* in StarCraft 2. It's one of Stukov's starport units.

[@Tpike777]

Starcraft has never really given me crazy nostalgia. Ive kept playing it throught my entire life enough that it just never feels old to me lol. Its one of those games where every year and a half or so if i havent played it..i will. And that usually ends up with me beating the campaign all over again for the 50th time :)

[@selwrynn6702]

The sunken colony is what the impaler became in the Zerg campaign in SC2 except the impaler is a unit not a building.

[@superdavywavy]

One big criticism of zerg in SC2 is the lack of air units. SC1 zerg certainly didn't have that problem!

[@oj43085]

You didn't talk about the overloads in sc1 where each one of them are effectively an overseer, and with 3 upgrade (drop, sight range, speed) from the lair they all can become transports too. So 200 supply , all those overloards are detectors and transports.

[@romas011]

Infested Terrans deal 500 damage. And friendly fire. Using them made me lose more often than not. Kinda sad you didnt show them here.

[@justinthompson6364]

He couldn't. He'd need a terran player, and he doesn't want an opponent because they might screw him up trying to get all the units. His only option would be a terran player that agreed ahead of time to help.

[@romas011]

he could just start a game with an ai, which are ridiculously easy in broodwar, and just keep it stuck on one base. Its not that complicated if he wanted to do that.

[@Certifiedgooner]

Ugh, if these infested terrans showed up in SC2...

[@publiuspi4127]

I found the AI to be a worthy challenge if you go 2v1 or 3v1 and use logic hacks against them :D

[@herrscherofflamescion4167]

those are volatile infested, and no friendly fire, if I dont mistake

[@Commander204]

Nydus Canals act like a two-way door to keep your bases connected and ready to be reinforced from any base instead of trying to move your ground army over the terrain or to replenish/move workers quickly in the event of an attack. Also can be built on both friendly and enemy Zerg player creeps for further reinforcement of their forces or your own. Much more useful than Nydus Worms imho.

[@TheMightyYiffer]

Plus, the original Starcraft had a lot more island map, where you would have to move units with the dropship/overlord/shuttle. The Nydus canal was very nice if you had an island base somewhere cut off from your main base.

[@alfredadrian143]

you could have just played protoss and mind controlled the other races?

[@jeremyunseld6846]

Lowko I think the correct term for the mouthparts for the drones would be chelicera as they seem pretty analogous to arachnid mouthparts, so I'd go with that! That is pretty close to pincers as you said in a previous video. Keep on mining those juicy blue mineral patches, slowly but surely

[@zumszum]

Honestly i really liked the green hydralisk spit and when i saw that SC2 doesnt have that i was really dissapointed.

[@Vandreand]

The science vessel sends his regards XD

[@barryclark6119]

Damn Science Vessels using "Irradiate" were so freakin' annoying. Love crashing my scourges into them.

[@jasonlim1723]

I love the sound of Science Vessels dying!

[@barryclark6119]

I like how you think, Jason Lim! :-) It is truly music to my highly evolved Zerg auditory system. Lol

[@highfovguy6791]

Awh man, I was hoping to see the infested terran here. D:

[@TheIndignation]

I never fully understood how Dark Swarm worked when I used to play back when, but now I guess it. It's sort of an inverse of the Viper's Blinding Cloud. Rather than stopping units underneath from attacking, it prevents units underneath from taking any damage from ranged attacks. This means you can cover your army to advance on a siege tank position, or, if you have just Zerglings and Ultras, you can drop it everywhere because melee units will still be able to deal damage under them. Extremely powerful spell! The Devourer's acid spores are very cool too, and I just recently learned more about them. The main effect which is obvious is that they will stack up on a target (1 per attack, up to 9), and reduce the enemy unit's attack speed, somewhat like the Vile Roach in the SC2 campaign. The spores don't deal damage over time, however they have something similar to an armor reduction effect. Any unit that attacks an enemy that has acid spores on them will deal 1 extra point of damage per spore. This means that Devourers synergize well with each other, because they have a small splash radius on their attack, and they synergize extremely well with Mutalisks because each bounce of the Mutalisk's attack will benefit from the bonus damage. So for example a Mutalisk attack against a group of 3 enemies might deal 9, then 3, then 1 damage with a single bouncing attack, (a total of 13), but if each of these 3 targets has 3 acid spores on them, then the Mutalisk will deal 12, then 6, then 4 damage (a total of 22) which is an enormous increase in damage for a single shot from a single unit!

[@TheMightyYiffer]

Plus if you hit a wraith has a spore on it, his cloak is rendered useless.

[@TheIndignation]

Jawbreaker1991 ah right! That's another thing I never knew until recently.

[@thegimlichannel]

I can highly recommend Blizzard's official StarCraft compendium for figuring out exactly what all the units and their spells and abilities do - the articles explain all that very well :). It is probably outdated for strategy though, but for basic game-knowledge, it is awesome! URL is classic.battle.net/scc

[@searcheRN7]

Siege tanks still can do splash damage under that Dark Swarms

[@andyryooable]

Defiler lurker combo was always my fav

[@toni_Menorca]

The defiler's orange cloud used to protect ground units under it against all range attacks but not against psionic strom, lurker attack or tanks splash damage and didn't work for buildings. Plague drains life to 1hp of units and buildings but doesn't kill them, doesn't affect protoss shields. Melee + defilers was very strong

[@marktuggle5609]

I don't know if there is one (I'm sure day9 has a video on it), but i would love a video on how the hotkeys (such as whaty is a good setup and what not to do) and how all the rally points work.

[@hieuphungminh6690]

9:38 those 2 overlords were having a good time until the scourge attack...

[@Certifiedgooner]

Sunken colonies attack range is far as the range of the creep they spread.

[@clmalbful]

You can also stack mutas with a burrowed unit as well.

[@Posthumus2323]

Why are the hotkeys different? Did you switch them or are these the default ones?

[@Battledroid015]

Queen, parasite gives the player vision in an area. so if you use on a enemy scv you can see from their view a reduced range. spawn broodlings would insta kill any ground unit and spawn two broodlings which would auto attack the nearest thing for heavy damage. ensnare would slow units while also revealing any cloked unit hit by it. defiler plague, will damage and lower a units hp to 1 but will not kill it. useful vs protoss as it does not damage the shield. also the guardian and devourer are the same as the one abathur uses in coop.

[@calebadam2576]

great to see the improved graphics! just a thought, but do cheats still work which would let you show off units faster?

[@somedude4087]

funny what zerglings in remastered look a bit like frogs (to be more correct when they move)

[@Hawkray]

Those zerg micro moves are slick. I think I saw them in a Day9 video as well. This just comes to show why blizz did not change the "bugs and quirks" of the base game--it's part of it by now. It differentiates a good player and a bad player :D

[@TheAcrilon]

14:28 what Lowko says and look to one of the Zerglings :D

[@anthonytrudel5221]

Ahhhh the memories of the aggressive SC1 overlors sounds!

[@nephalem4396]

Can't wait to see the campaign play through, will be fun to watch!

[@razgriz8492]

Wyatt D yea especially since I think he said he never really played most of it

[@crispykernal2971]

how bout the heroes and critters in another?

[@donaldt3330]

Zergling, ultralisk and defiler are the ultimate melee army in starcraft

[@tomasduchan8275]

you didn't show Plague and what it does and Parasite too :(

[@Commandos12]

units under darkswarm are immune to range dmg. since terran only has 1 melee unit terran dont really deal with dark swarm very well. siege still does splash in darkswarm though*

[@WereCreed]

Roflmao I love how he's constantly comparing it to SC2 when it should be reversed

[@alexg1720]

VeroMithril yea but remastered is still sc1 after all

[@KingDooks]

VeroMithril Jesus I feel old.... i remember playing this when I was 8... then brood war came out and it was so insane with dark archons and shit

[@bentownsend8737]

WereCreed if I remember correctly lowko got involved with starcraft after the release of starcraft 2 and never really played broodwar so it makes sense for him personally to compare this game to sc2, given that despite the video being for us it is still his experience. Don't mean to be rude so sorry if it seems that way, im js :p

[@lycanthoss]

VeroMithril sc2 is better for people who like interesting gameplay and choices, sc1 is for people who like to be amazed by how well professionals play

[@drakyr]

considering his channel is mostly focused on sc2 im not surprised he's comparing it to what his viewers are used to, even if they're familiar with sc1, in this particular setting sc2 is the norm

[@dr.manhattan7138]

I really love you content Lowko, especial you Stream but i have to say that you could have put some more efford in these videos :x I still know the most spells of sc1 and i also saw the most of them in your stream in action, but its definitly worth to show them in these videos. I know that it's hard without getting a 1 hour video, but you may could have created a game before (maybe vs a terran to even show the invested base) and create all buildings, units etc befor so that you don't get under time preasure. Still, great work and i really looking forward to this story play-through ^^

[@darthjojo123456]

can you explain what pressing f5 does in the next episode? i´m still not quite sure and you talk about it so very rarely..

[@highfovguy6791]

All it does is just toggle between 16:9 remastered graphics and old 4:3 brood war graphics.

[@TheMidnightShadow22]

jonas I believe I remember from another video or something that it toggles the graphics between the original and remastered version. So if you're playing the remastered version and press f5, it will come up like you're playing the original Starcraft with the original graphics. I hope that makes sense and I also could be wrong. But I believe that's what it does.

[@Gatsu8601]

change setting from remastered to original grapich and vice versa

[@exodiusnecross]

It switches graphic between the remasted and the old one, he literally explained it in the beginning

[@darthjojo123456]

i was actually making a sarcastic comment because he said it so frequently.. but thanks for the answer anyway:)

[@Garother]

One day, Lowko, one day I will witness you producing the infested terrans :p Nice video

[@Kolt461]

You should really fear Ultras on Rollerskates hahaha

[@karolkozak64]

compared to sc2 how long would one game last in average? ... was it in general faster simply because there is less units you can control?

[@chrisbennett4564]

Actually games last much longer. A pro macro match can take 45 min to an hour easily with both players completely mining out 1 side of the map. where as the average SC2 macro match normally lasts between 16-22 min (my numbers might be slightly off but you get the point)

[@Akrilloth]

Naturally, as things tend to die more than twice as fast in SC2,

[@UCNTIsvjEd-cW_MsOoOpeG2w]

lowko! use operation cwal to speed up production

[@5poolcatrush]

Does ZynMapHack works on remastered?

[@thundersoul6795]

I mean, expanding production with hatches instead of abilities is only logical. The zerg base is called Hive Cluster for a reason.

[@RinHera]

devourer slows your attack speed the more stacks you put on the opponent. really effective against valkeries, battlecruicer that deals buttloads of damage in sc1

[@MrCoschta]

Are there leagues in the remaster?

[@LowkoTV]

+MrCoschta No. There is simply a rank to show you what rank you are compared to the rest of the world.

[@Zoberii]

abathur uses guardian and devourer, zagara has the scourge, stukov has the broodwar queens, no sc2 commander has access to defiler though.

[@lancelindlelee7256]

Does the old cheats still work?

[@FlyingDominion]

1:10 it's so big because it's inflated by vespene?

[@JL-ef7bh]

Ugh, Queens and Defilers. My siege tank lines got decimated by them when they used the spawn broodling cast on one of my tanks, only to have them fire upon each other thanks to the splash damage. And to make that worse, that spell cast is a one hit one kill. The plague from defilers scares me. Its an OP version of fungal growth, but it doesn't kill your units. It just reduces all unit HP to 1, only to have them sniped by mutas seconds later.

[@Svarsmannen]

to show the infested command center, you could have made a "team game" where you start with 3 drones and 1 scw

[@Futago21]

I finally figured out what I do not like about the new zerg structures. The old ones have a rythm to the structure like there is a beating heart in the thing, giving it life and motion, while the new animations give them more like a Mickey Mouse Steamboat Willie feeling, a happy rythmic motion more akin to a disney cartoon.

[@publiuspi4127]

I think I like the original unit designs more than their SC2 counterparts, they all look a bit more insect-like. SC1 was the bread and butter of my youth. Still have about 3,000 maps sitting on my hard drive somewhere just begging to see the light of day again on release day :D

[@recker9883]

On sc1 one ling can kill one marine (and sc1 does have ground banelings get a queen and infest a damaged cc)

[@RMJ1984]

I'm absolutely amazed at how well the original graphics have aged. Good 2D graphics can last much longer. You won't find many 3D games that looks this good and have aged this well after 19 years since their release.

[@LowkoTV]

+RMJ1984 Definitely true! I’m always rather impressed with WoW’s aging. Even very old videos of the game still give the exact same atmosphere as the current one. It’s true for most Blizzard games probably.

[@justinthompson6364]

Look at how every unit has "Zerg" before it. Hey, lowko! forget which race you're playing? It's Zerg! Look! It says so right here!

[@dividedreality9708]

What I like about the Zerg in SC1 were that they're more alien than insect-like, and felt like had a personality of their own. Tbh the SC2 version looked cool, but kinda lost that "feel", ya know? Don't get me started on the Protoss, the once other-worldly beings shrouded in mystery, now have become a norm.

[@helios1087]

In first starcraft hydras spit goo, because its impossible to draw small but recognizable spikes in 98th. But why they're still spit it in remaster? Nostalgia?

[@petergalaxio]

I know it might sound absurd, but can u turn up the sound of the music of sc2 , much appreciated man

[@sleepisgood2936]

Ah the nostalgia I remembered using cheats against bots lmao like black sheep wall to reveal the map

[@trush0t1]

Even an OG like me can use a refresh. Plus I like how you compare this game to SC2 when it should be the other way around LOL. Cool video! Edit: btw all these micro tricks I had no idea existed. But, when I was a kid there was a lot I didn't know about this game. All I did was play BGH and build cannons everywhere.

[@judicatorciubo]

You forgot about Infested Terrans. Nice video btw.

[@SquishySpud]

How do you make a game with no other players?

[@bryanraphael]

Devour as far as I know they do not damage more in stacks, but make them slow to attack. [more stack; slower attack] - Korean player

[@sdarkpaladin]

Zergs look more menacing and disgusting in SC1 than SC2... which imho is how they should be. SC2 seemed to tone them down by a lot.

[@saracicoz4418]

Dark archons can mind control scvs and drones. Different units of different races dont use the same supply like in sc2 instead zerg needs overlord while terran needs supply depot. Most op thing ever.

[@Wawza14Gameplays]

Saraç İçöz Ah yes I can't number the times I would wall myself off and send dark archons to steal workers to make a superbase of all races.

[@An63rX3r0]

"It's so big!" That's what she said :'D

[@Ragnarok6664]

Miss the guardians & devourer, scourge too perhaps..otherwise hydras as a lair unit again would be sweet (SCII) atleast Abathur have most of them in co-op.

[@Berster13]

Played so much of this with my cousins on our shitty dialup net AHHHH memories

[@FBeast30]

The sunken seems to be the hydralisk evolution mission in Starcraft 2

[@Battledroid015]

FBeastKiller it's the other way round, the sunken Colony is a old evolution from Brood war now the swarm uses spine crawlers. but they are the same thing.

[@sondalo511]

Lowko "I don't think I built the science vessel" I wonder what he thought when he saw the comments

[@trassage]

he didnt build the infested terran this time)

[@setdark]

next time he will not build dark archon )

[@andrastuba3085]

I already saw all of the new textures... Watched the video anyway

[@publiuspi4127]

OMG sweet sweet nostalgia!

[@BenoHourglass]

It looks like when my optometrist uses a lens that over-corrects my perscription.

[@Shazbot277]

does 'Show me the money' still work ? it gives you lots of minerals and gas, this will help out with the videos

[@derfzgrld]

Shazbot277 if he does it like he did in the stream he uses multiplayer (seriously - dont do this. Use the singleplayer skirmish with cheats. Much easier)

[@evgenpaiko3407]

Der Fzgrld you cant access singleplayer in remastered

[@derfzgrld]

Evgen Paiko isnt it only the campaign locked? (Could also be that the whole singleplayer is. Lowko didnt tell us)

[@evgenpaiko3407]

Der Fzgrld the whole singleplayer is locked.

IT HAS RELEASED !!!

[@justaturd2130]

Why do you explain starcraft 1?

[@rewesicherheitsdienst1018]

You missed the infested CC and the infested Terran :(

[@razgriz8492]

Crazy Cheese he wasn't playing against anyone so he couldnt show it

[@rewesicherheitsdienst1018]

Yeah, i know. But he could've just added a single AI (don't know if you can choose difficulty in the HD version).

[@Catholic-Redpilled-Spaniard]

Lowko we would love to see sc1bw profesional casts!! Would you ever...?? :) As always, God bless and cheers from Spain.

[@theone3966]

so... when campaign? :)

[@soju69jinro]

what happened to the devourers acid debuff? supposed to weaken armor value and slower attack speed. remastered edition is missing shit. you forgot that in scbw units can burrow stack. players can see explored areas after unit dies for 1-2 seconds. Stack tricks. zlings can go through building positions. hydra stack trick.

[@ridackle1333]

17:50 it thought they looked like some sort of ants

[@Marinealver]

I could have gone without the reverted graphics if they made the graphics comparable with WoL. It looks dated for a remastered.

[@kuekuatzu_6750]

when are you going to upload sc:r gameplay? i mean actually playing

[@LowkoTV]

+Fabrizzio Ruiz de Somocurcio Next week I will start my full campaign play through.

[@NPClownumber81googolplex]

Nothing is size accurate. Everything is scaled for gameplay balance.

Why the hell do you show to viewers only one ability of defiler and completely ignore abilities of queen.

[@ignap]

In 144p they look the same

[@amanwithafakename]

Wait...storms don't stack? 😮

[@vonshroom2068]

They do but having 12 go off on the same spot is a waste unlike the cloud that would visually hamper enemy player from actually seeing units ;)

Forgot about Broodlings this time :v
