StarCraft Remastered: The Iron Fist 01 - First Strike

[@hazzmati]

Too bad duran is missing smug smile had with the original profile picture. It really fitted his ambiguous nature especially when's he sarcastically tells stukov there's no zerg in the area even though they're overrunning his position xD

7:10 "surely, walk straight into the firebat".

[@ButaneBoss]

"its greatest Admiral, Gerard DuGalle" Later, "WHAT HAVE I DONE" The reason why the UED are brown in this level is because green replaces white on Ice tilesets for radar readability, so the UED's black-coloured (but brown in gameplay) Cronus Wing (ground force) was used instead of the white Atlas Wing (aerial force.)

[@Mixcen]

The more you know XD

[@UEDAIP]

Well, still doesn't really explain the UED using yellow and blue in the zerg campaign

[@Mixcen]

That's what i always thought as well. That they have different squads with different colors.

[@knavishknight]

I remember wasting a lot of time wiping out the whole base. Used ComSat station to reveal tanks on high-ground & cloaked Duran tiptoeing to lock each tank down so marines could kill them one-by-one. Duran cannot be healed but he certainly can tank (pun intended) one shot about 3 times, for I painstakingly memorize the tanks' & turrets' position to find the good approach through lots of saved games. Those days... Thanks for reminding me of them Jay!

I really like those 35 billion spider mines at the main entrance to the Dominion base. That's the good way to say "you shouldn't even fuckin' consider to attack here!!!". Not silly "We shouldn't assault anything but the objectives!" in LOTV.

[@ryanlorenzo5003]

You know, I kind of expected the UED to be vain in their ways, what with coming to take control of a far away sector that has not seen nor heard from Earth for hundreds of years. But not to the extent of Gilded Command Centers.

[@caivue3314]

Awesome walkthrough keep it going!

[@estellebright2579]

7:45 whatever that dropship is doing is a very high tier trick used in pro sc2 games.

[@Zidana123]

Oh man! That upbeat Terran music! Everything is possible!

[@estellebright2579]

People just ignore the top small mineral base. Idk why. Lowko ignores it. Now Jayborino ignores it. People hate money. :(

[@dingodyno9016]

i always go for it

[@rlouie05]

I don't, plus instead of Duran's alternate route, I sent units up the main entrance to the red terran camp once I've managed to clear out all the mines defending it (there are over 20 of them it seems).

[@UEDAIP]

The AI actually only defends non-supply and non-defensive buildings (unless it has guard_all, but it's seldom used in BW); here it defended the barracks, and for example in the Insurgent it won't defend the few pylons with cannons it has in the middle base. Also the dropship was taking a marine from the rightside cliff :p

[@drstrangebudgie4052]

I really wish the UED had their own unit skins, briefing room graphic, and/or command bar UI. Even if all the units and mechanics were the same as Koprulu terrans, the UED should have at least had a different skin. Something I never understood as a kid playing this.

[@liden77]

8:31 - look out Stukov, Narud is Duran backwards!!

[@JayborinoPlays]

They always find out too late

[@Duchess_Van_Hoof]

I remember loving this campaign, the sheer magnitude of the fact that it is the UED. Earth was never even mentioned in the original game, and Mengsk went and performed his coup d'estat and crowned himself Emperor of the Dominin. Then, EARTH says fuck this shit and decides to take the matter into their own hands. They steamroll the dominion, mind controls the freaking overmind and are utterly ridiculous in how effective they are, and I love every moment of it.

[@Taffer-bx7uc]

The storyline in Starcraft I was well written and excellent. Wings of Liberty was well done despite a couple of very minor contradictions. Then Heart of the Swarm came and it REALLY went downhill from there.

[@reyonXIII]

Technically, the UED are the protagonists of this campaign, because, by definition, "protagonists" are who the story follows. You mean to say "heroes" or, rather, the protagonists of the story as the whole (Raynor, Artanis, Zeratul, and eventually, Kerrigan etc.)

[@neonayse8803]

I remember making my uncle pay this mission (he was still in his 20s) because I was afraid of losing units

[@SnickenSnack]

But Jay you Can use the firebats as a meatshield for you marines and tanks

[@kaiden4942]

First one to comment😂 Love your walkthroughs Jay, they're awesome 😍

[@petersmythe6484]

Please do next mission without losing any units (even if you have already specifically done that or gone out of your way to explicitly attempt that in a previous time you have done the mission). [Edit] Maybe with the exception of the Battlecruiser part, but that is bonus if you don't lose any Battlecruisers either.

[@estellebright2579]

Yes. It is much easier than any other missions in SC.

[@jozsefszilagyi942]

FIRST love you Jay :D

[@MrMimj]

If you want this mission to be challenging try clearing the map from all enemies and entering the base head on... now thats a lil bit challenge ;)

[@Draeckon]

Not with siege tanks and scanning. Just line up a few tanks out of range of the mines, scan, and they're all gone. Use Duran to lockdown the tanks, and you can push in pretty easily. If you have troops attack from the side, the Dominion will send units to try and stop them, making the frontal push easier to pull off.
