[@eclairtleqaq4758]

Hi, I’m going to try to give some developer comment here. So Real-Scale Mass Recall. This is part of the Real-Scale 2.0 series, and all extra options in Real Scale 2.0, such as different scaling options, kill/death counters, unlocking extra units and all units, are also available here. I have also done QoL adjustments to the base MR campaigns, such as fixing the hotkey conflicts in base MR. I also made almost all cutscenes skippable. Cutscenes were not skippable by default because it actually takes work sometimes to make them skippable and clean up correctly. As such cutscene skips might still have bugs that need to be discovered. One big change I did was to drastically nerf Mass Recall’s difficulty. You always start with more and better stuff than in the original campaign, and the AIs could actually run out of money. Many missions have already been tested in brutal. They are still a bit harder than base sc2’s brutal difficulty, but definitely not as hard as original MR. Now to the specific things in this video. First you might notice that in mission 2, Raynor’s survival had become a bonus objective. Basically, in most missions if the heroes aren’t needed for the objective, you are allowed to lose them and continue the mission. In mission 3, I made the player start with a factory and spider mines researched to encourage the use of vulture. I also tweaked the vulture’s weapons to fire before turning to making them great kiting units like in SC1. The spider mine and sunken colonies display bonus damage vs Capital Ships, because they deal “explosive” damage. Since there was only 3 different damage types in Starcraft 1, I decided to make them consistent so that all explosive damage is doubled against capital ships. Essentially things like spider mines, sunken colonies, and siege tanks display bonus damage against capitals just for consistency, they do not actually fight capital ships. (By the way, the famous problem of corsair dealing low damage against mutas was not because of armor calculations, but because tag-based damage reduction stacked additively with splash runoff. This meant Corsair’s splash doing 50% of main target’s damage combined with small units taking 50% less damage resulted in -100% damage, meaning the splash damage always dealt a minimum damage of 0.5 to mutas regardless of armor. Base MR did try to make explosive damage the same way as SC1, but it was actually pretty tricky with splash and it seemed the MR team never really figured it out.)

[@avitraangelica9278]

Thank you for your awesome work! This is gonna be SUPER fun to watch and eventually play! ^v^ Changes here all seem smart amd well executed, which is already fantastic. Can't wait to hear about more on the later missions! ^v^

[@fritslec1277]

Not a player, just a grant video enjoyer, but just wanted to thank you for continuing the real-scale legacy and the beloved work of people's favorite modders! I look forward to seeing your work in the coming grant videos :)

[@JimRaynorRaider]

Plz tell me this will be added to base MR as a QoL mod? This fixes a lot of things with MR and it be a shame it be lock behind a mod

[@drakewarrior1013]

​@@JimRaynorRaidersecond this. I would install your mod just to play "original" mass recall with your improvements, if you can disable the actual "real scale" stuff.

[@michaelbarnard8529]

So, why is the max range fore marines all of fifty feet? How is that “real scale”?

[@PeterZaitcev]

I've noticed one interesting but very important detail - instead of "Raynor must survive" main objective, you have "Keep Raynor in the Frontline" bonus one.

[@GiantGrantGamesArchives]

Great catch! Love to see it!

[@Qchaos.]

What can we say, he is a man of action

[@MrRulet550]

It sounds less gamey like "Raynor can respawn" but also less punishing of "Raynor must survive"

17:57 - Grant's relationship with Starcraft begins to move in an entirely new direction

[@svr7823]

It's me playing Devil May Cry 5

[@eyeballpapercut4400]

Such collision courses

[@Minithell]

That was very sexually charged.

[@HMSPrinceofWales]

I liked the random combination of Grant: "I have an issue where", Firebat: "My Goose is getting cooked" into the Ultra appearing.

[@roshango125ab]

If that's what the base UltraIisk does, I'm scared to see what the torrasque does in "To Chain the Beast" in real scale. You won't have a whole cargo ship full of whoop ass, you'll be getting a full fleet

[@HipomosJ]

that plus 3 armor upgrade and 3 attack upgrade, an absolute beast

[@JimRaynorRaider]

Look how the ultra does splash damage, torrasque gonna 1 shot groups of marines/firebats/medics and it's gonna be wonderful

[@slorty4494]

Can't wait to see Mengsk's battle cruiser fleet in that one mission.

[@The-jy3yq]

Ok, ok, hear me out. _Nukes._

[@petrowegynyolc7108]

Yeah, sheepyards are cool, but... Siege of Korhal opening in any scenario. That oughtta be EPIC.

[@Neyuun]

12:50 Wow, it's WoL Real Scale all over again. Grant has a decently big army and pokes at the zerg, runs into his first ultralisk which proceeds to eat half his army and then gets swarmed by the rest of the zerg defenses and loses almost everything else. Also, if you want to really break your habit of moving your mouse to the edge of the screen to look around, you can just disable "mouse scroll" in options under "mouse and keyboard".

[@Kai-K]

"If you are interested in more real scale mass recall, say so" SO SO SO

[@elbro3667]

Me: "Finally trying Mass Recall" Grant: Welcome to Real Scale Mass Recalll He´s always one step ahead of me, darn

[@Taldaris]

Knowing how brutal Mass Recall can be, this actually might be scary, and cool! (Can't wait to see Eye of the storm)

[@lonesometomb773]

i was wanting to rewatch the mass recall series, but now this is coming out.

[@abaddonarts1129]

I'm genuinely so excited to see this, it's going to be so intimidating in the later story when high tech units show up at large scale looking like SC1 models. Insanely cool stuff. (Also I love how readable Mass Recall is, because the SC2 scaling and movement looks so much better than the lower visual quality of the original)

[@kampa7671]

The only issue is that the lightning really interferes with readability. Sometimes it's really hard to tell what's actuall happening on screen, it's just too dark.

[@Luckysquirrel1256]

That Ultra was actually scary at that size. Also hope you give Winter Assault another try, or at least the Good Campaign.

[@artemis_fowl44hd92]

Grant, a great tip to unlearn edge panning is that you can deactivate it in the options. Afterwards, when you get forced to use the middle mouse, it's just a matter of playing a few customs to make your brain get used to it.

[@RoyalCommando1996]

Hey Grant, Please take a secound to place your Spidermines with intention. They deal friendly fire and like the 3rd spider mine blew 20 others streight to hell. Interesting in the series btw.❤

[@inductivegrunt94]

2:20: Great job, Grant, perfect Spider mine placement. 5:10 And just like that, Infested Terran got even more terrifying. 12:53 My goodness that is so freaking terrifying! Yeah, love this mod already. I seriously can't wait for air units to come in, especially Battlecruisers and Carriers. Those are gonna be massive.

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

Yo, this is awesome! Can't wait to see how they handle SC1 big boys like capital ships and ultras in those classic SC1 corridors and canyons.

[@Flamewarden_Honoushugoshin]

That ultra on the bridge gives a great indicator, spooky big boys! O.O

[@jika327]

I know that the damage values are going to be different from their vanilla counterparts but I still hope that the mod makers fix the math error in Mass Recall's upgrades. In SC1 explosive damage deals 100% to large, 75% to medium and 50% to small. However, weapon upgrades give a fixed increase against all unit types, so +1 damage is one extra point of damage instead of MR's +1/+0.75/0.5 damage, Similar thing goes for concussive damage (firebat, vulture and ghost) though it's 100% to small, 50% to medium and 25% to large.

[@garret4075]

All I can think of is the Dylarian Shipyards…

[@bass-dc9175]

Also remember: The terran fleet in SC1 uses the Behemoth Class Battlecruiser (as opposed to the minotaur class ones in SC2). And they are bigger. The hyperion is a Behemoth Class Battlecruiser.

[@thundersoul6795]

@@sssddd4812 "Real scale" doesn't do real scale buildings because you can't do real scale maps. Kinda amusing how StarCraft 2 isn't built to even have the possibility of full real scale so it looks like a boxing match in a sandbox. Kinda sad that nobody finds this whole "real scale" thing worth the effort of bothering to use SupCom, the game built with real scale as the point, as a base.

[@LoneWolf-kw3ol]

through this whole video youve got this silly grin on your face, like this is bringing out the kid who became hooked on the og Starcraft and i love it. I cant wait to have all 3 campaigns in the SC2 engine with real scale, what a time to be alive

[@jarrakul]

Grant just casually mentioning he hangs out with Scarlett. :P I mean it was probably an RTS consulting thing but still.

[@lazarusfitness3892]

I am not sure what the economic cost would be or if the modders you employ would be willing... but have you considered employing a good amount of them to actually make a true polished Complete SC1 campaign in the Starcraft 2 engine? That actually is balanced and high quality and even get the two-three player coop treatment? SC1 on your channel is truly an untapped resource. I binge anything you put out SC1 related. Would love to see SC1 get a mod treatment it truly deserves as well as provide a huge amount of content to your channel. That is multiple new massive series between a polished version and potential coop playthroughs with Jay or Ace. While Mass Recall has been a breath of fresh air in terms of just being able to have it.... we really need a true version to do it justice...

[@BladeWinters]

Wow, that's awesome, someone actually made a mass recall mod, mod within a mod, mod-ception

[@whatguy05]

[@marcuspearson814]

This is going to be great!

[@memkoz]

This series is so much fun!

[@Templarfreak]

something that you should also learn is setting camera locations. this is something i still dont even do, but it genuinely can massively improve your play. most of the time you set them to base locations. its not as huge in SC2 as it is in SC1 because you can select more than 1 building and add them to a hotkey, but it's still important for things like larva injects and being able to quickly jump around the entire map without having to click on the minimap

[@lanteanboy]

I feel like the spider-mine's "Capital Ship damage" is because some ground units in Starcraft 1 were BEEG and have thus been classified using the Capital Ship system..... although honestly, outside of the Reaver, I'm not sure what else would count....

[@odyssey958]

It's cool to see Mass Recall and Real-Scale meet. For added authenticity, you should limit yourself to only commanding 12 units at a time!

[@TheSquizzlet]

I always played WC3 in a window with the top bar and task bar visible, which made edge panning unviable on the top and bottom direction, so I learned to middle mouse pan. When Dota 2 was still in beta I played and always used it, and would comment any time I spectated someone who I could see was also doing it. It's nice to see it get some love!

In regards to the middle mouse button thing: I actually used to only use edge-panning or the minimap to move my screen, until relatively recently. But, because middle mouse button is so intuitive, even without me trying to, it ended up becoming the primary way I move my screen around in many RTSes. I'm pretty sure you'll mostly switch over in like a week.

If you put the real scale sc1 ultralisk side by side to SC2 ultralisks, they are indeed smaller. Although there actually isn’t a consistent scale for sc1 ultras. Their size relative to marines and vultures should be correct as shown in the brood war cinematic.

Fun fact about mission 3 In the editor, you can see a ship in the right corner and left corner, is a texter and other stuff of inside a building or ship(most likely) My guess, there was gonna be a cut scene where you'll see civ and Raynor/commander forces being in the dropships as they escape the area and board a nearby spaceship and maybe another cut scene plays OR Its the cut scene showing how raynor was saved, to explain how he got out But it seems the idea was cut. Shame. I love MR in game cut scene. They add fresh air to SC story telling. Just needed to cut some scenes and better view shots
