If you didn't have health insurance, the medic's super heal would cost 10,000 minerals per HP. If the medic worked for the VA, they would refuse to heal friendly units and inform them that their wounds are not service related.

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

The VA would like all medics pin you down, heal you to 59% then either refuse to do more, or insist your injuries were pre-existing conditions. And when paid slowly heal you to full. But boy would they heal you fast to 59%

[@justaclock4768]

what’s VA?

[@jadekaiser7840]

@@justaclock4768 Veterans' Association, I think

[@flamerollerx01]

​@@jadekaiser7840Correct. It's the health care system that veterans have to use if they don't have paid health insurance. It's literally the worst healthcare, though it is actually free for the veteran. Not so free for the taxpayers though, but that's the case everywhere, especially outside the USA.

[@MarioAdNoman]

"I sure hope Secret Tauren has been changed" -GGG *sweating profusely and rushing to update the mod* -the modders maybe

[@solaariel2692]

Missed opportunity with the medic, the un-heal ability should have been called "Canadian Healthcare". There could have also been a separate ability called "British Healthcare" that works like a normal medic heal, except it doesn't heal its target until 10 seconds have passed (kinda like how the void ray charges up).

[@TheHalogen131]

No, the Blood Ritual should be named Canadian Healthcare, since it will just euthanize you!

[@TheHalogen131]

Huh, my comment got deleted. I think the Blood Aura should be named "Canadian Healthcare", because it will just euthanize you

[@Healermain15]

British Healthcare is a normal heal, but the medic casts it from their own hitpoints and you have to heal everyone in order of getting damaged. Also it has a random chance of privatising your medic, turning them into the American Healthcare in exchange for 10 minerals.

[@lixnix2018]

At least here in the eu Healthcare is pretty good in most of the time

[@LordRunty]

If we're going reflections of reality, wait times for primary and emergency care in the US are roughly twice that of the UK, but you get faster elective surgery appointments instead. So I guess it'd be the US version that should have the charge up time, but also give a temporary stim boost to represent getting the knee replacement done.

[@AwesomeSihv]

Without the skittles upgrade, my thought was purple marines are intended fodder for abominations and medic recharge. The other colors are more viable and the infested can also be sac’d for bonus. I think the abominations were dying vs zerg because they could walk over the lings. More ling dps per area is a huge killer. That and the lack of stutter micro in a bioball. Also surprised that bunkers didn’t get meme’d?

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

Bunker. Of. Death. I was more surprised the missile turret didn't get mounted on a missile just because.

[@Izunundara]

​@glenmcgillivray4707 I was workshopping some options for them, unfortunately I never got to actually get submitting anything for the campaign :< - Miss Turret that has a 95% miss chance but also a 95% dodge chance -it's a normal Missile Turret but the cupola is actually on a Spine Crawler tentacle so it stretches out and slaps air units -Mist Turret that fires the Infested Liberator swarms recoloured -Miffed Turret, casts Bloodlust (WC3 Shaman) on nearby allies

[@JdeMonster]

Furer bunker. Kills a hero unit, gives all remaining units an attack buff.

[@yessir6919]

'ERE WE GO BOYZ! 7:44 The Simpsons on TV, the bouncing DVD logo, it really is real shitpost hours out here. 8:46 Might wanna run that line back and revise that, my guy. The fact that they slowed the countdown and putting it at 1 minute was actually pretty hilarious, Grant really had his hopes up.

[@mrRomual]

It would be even funnier if it counted up for the first ten minutes and then down for the last.

[@skiddytrippy7189]

I like that there's some optimal "micro" you could do: like stuffing bunkers with yellow marines, and creating abominations with purple marines, that's pretty cool

[@comraderamirez]

A faction where the basic unit cycles between different versions of itself is actually a really cool concept. Would probably be hard to balance, though.

[@gardian06_85]

The thing with The Backlogs so many people in the comments of that video were trying to direct him to get in contact with you so that a mod could be made (probably just replace the marine with a Liberation day civilian) to see how "viable" it is.

[@garretthopkins7035]

[@veselinasenov5935]

The idea to have different types of marines is actually brilliant and should have been in the vanilla game.

[@MRSupernova100]

Honestly, the different types of marines is a really cool addition - It makes them seem more like a scrappy band of mercenaries and pirates.

As soon as that Medic went towards the enemy marines I was like "This is gonna be a reverse medic that kills your guys isn't it?"

[@hakonmarcus]

If you lift any building on zero hour, a hundred scourge should come zooming in!

[@Eonflare55]

I think the idea with the Abominations is that you sacrifice the purple submarines for those. Those create another unit when they die, so they count as double for it.

[@EchoingHorror]

Mouse over your attack icon to see range? No, attack your own unit like a real game. 10/10

[@plackt]

Missed opportunity on Raynor, not having “Whiskey Business”.

[@Henry-Kuren]

Hey Grant, do you want to know a secret about our healthcare system? The charge is huge so the insurance pays for the cost of the work, you pay the copay, and the hospital writes the rest off so it doesn't pay taxes.

[@LithmusEarth]

"murica" on the tooltip, and "here's some freedom for you." from the pilot audio right at the beginning. Also 730 to like 900 OH GOD they are just tearing up this game and I love it. 32:05 imagine in the engineering bay, they had 6 upgrades. You decide in what order you want to dump money into which color, so their might be a shield upgrade to further make red marines tankier, or an orange upgrade to further increase the range and damage of the snipers, etc, etc. so you can invest in everyone for money but you decide, and honestly you had a lot of purple guys here you could get an abomination by wiping them once or twice?
