StarCraft Remastered: UEDAIP vT8 - Biting the Bullet

[@UEDAIP]

I'll go ahead and confirm your suspicions that Garm (orange) may indeed purposefully target spots that he deems to be reachable without tripping any defenses =) There are plenty of attack types never used in the campaigns (or even in any original SC aiscript code at all) that do something useful - for example, target expansions explicitly instead of the main base (determined based on start locations), target the closest possible point, target regions with less force than the attack etc., and I've mixed and matched them to make Garm seem at least a little more cunning, and to make sure their heroes are more scary as well. This map perhaps doesn't quite live up to expectations difficulty-wise (or at least that was my impression based on how often you were surprised you aren't being attacked), when it comes to how often attacks come by in the first part, because whenever it was immediately aggressive in testing I felt that the second section just becomes completely obnoxious if you spent too many resources early on - I've opted to make attacking the Zerg harder and defending from the Zerg easier as a result, though maybe there exists some more elegant solution (more smaller attacks? but then small groups of Ovies just get evaporated...) Orange of course does go into overdrive for the second part, there's a trigger that sets a battlecruiser (not used in the map) death that the script waits for and then modifies script type, defense flags, jumps away to a later part of the attack loop etc., if someone is interested in the technicals

[@JayborinoPlays]

Maybe more Muta flocks that could cover for the Overlords. I don't the attacks were actually infrequent, it's more the way the AI reacts to transports getting hit by Turrets - very few actually were making it through so it seemed like fewer attacks.

Hey! Is there a way to change the unit stats a bit? Edit some hex values, extract some config files or anything?

[@UEDAIP]

@@andrewbeznosov8046 you can use samase and pyms, both have a thread on the staredit forums -- unfortunamently i use lots of custom stuff that needs additional config from Neiv's github repos, but if you ping me on discord i can just send it all

[@alanspirand880]

Also, if someone's interested in how zerg Broods are different lore-wise, they can be characterized in a couple of words: *Tiamat* (Red): Elite brood *Surtur* (Blue): Destructive, insane brood *Fenris* (Teal): Hunter, tracker brood *Jormungard* (Purple): Main Army/Strikeforce brood *Garm* (Orange): Fast Raider/Hit-and-run brood *Baelrog* (White): Fierce Cannibal brood Leviathan and Grendel (Yellow and Brood) broods are kinda just there for moral support.

Diversity hire Zerg so the Overmind gets good pr rep with the Xel naga.

[@Spiketrooper]

Him wiping that base early on was a really good plan, basically removed an entire enemy from the map

This is the nicest thing anyone has ever said about me :)

@@JayborinoPlays you are still easily my favorite StarCraft youtuber Jay. I just love your easy going sense of humor. You don't treat each mission like it's the end of the world. You keep doing you my guy!

It's the new age

[@Spiketrooper]

@@JayborinoPlays Praise The Great Devourer...? Or is that jumping to conclusions....

[@GhostOps21]

That blue snipe on the expansion was great lmao. Appreciate the playthrough Jay, this new age is definitely a golden one!

[@alanspirand880]

Jayborino has been studying tactics in the right places. Also, it's pretty unexpected to see this mission as Terran8, not Terran7 as it was originally.

[@UEDAIP]

I've consulted Subsourian on this one, this mission happens after the Psi Emitters are set during Terran 7, hence the altered order

[@Blazieth]

>almost an hour Ooh, this gon' be good Good instincts taking out that expansion outpost early, Duke makes your ability to siege right off the bat *extremely* powerful, especially with backup from Jim. Shame you were just barely too slow to get to the island expansion before Blue, but at least you got there before he really established himself to start putting pressure on it. But as you saw, Blue is viciously protective of that island. Aside from Unclean Ones, Orange will also employ Devouring Ones - hero Zerglings! Also, I don't know if it's actually scripted to be like that, but Orange definitely seems to wake up a bit after Blue's Hive goes down. I imagine it probably is. Nice of Tassadar to send troops over to assist with the Unclean One, even if he was a tad slow. Jay is happy to see Reavers. We have entered the mirror dimension.

Guardians spawning Scourges... or as the latter used to be called in the SC1 beta: Avengers. I like the little nod to that bit of early SC.

[@emilchan5379]

I love all these airborne assaults Jay is doing. Send in Wraiths to secure a beachhead, then land ground forces and barracks to churn out reinforcements.

[@hub1986]

I always wondered why Blizz nvr released these maps was it ever known why? GG M8 GN Awesome as always

[@TheHalogen131]

40:32 wait was it always, that standing under trees makes enemies have a chance to miss, or was it something Nekron programmed in?

[@JayborinoPlays]

It’s actually always been like that, it’s like a 30% miss chance.

[@TheHalogen131]

@@JayborinoPlays Oh wow never noticed that

[@RoderikPo]

Well, my take on why Orange became more actif after Blue lost his Hive is that, before these zergs were busy elsewhere - probably hunting and attacking civilians, which prompted Jim to propose this plan. And then they rushed back.

[@blackhand1193]

One of the best remakes I must say. Got some words for this mission but I forgot- since I enjoyed the map too well?

[@andrewbeznosov8046]

I love this series, even though I'd love to be able to change the unit stats a bit (to my taste). It's so great that SC1 scene keeps going with more and more complex/interesting stuff.

[@JayborinoPlays]

Regarding making changes, you may want to ask on the UEDAIP discord for the best response - discord.gg/WtYsDvU

Is the original not broodwar uedaip campaign available publicly? When i try to play the one included in the download link it just plays the OG campaign maps with modified units but not the modded campaign

[@GK_GAMES]

check the description if the video to know where to ge it also jay mentioned on one of the early videos that for now it cannot be played by the campaign menu, he plays it via custom map

[@TheNyannyan48]

@@GK_GAMES yup i know where to download it and access the stuff and i'm aware the vanilla campaign wont work via the campaign menu. So do I have to put the included maps into the custom maps folder in order for it to work? Or was jayborino given beta access? Cause right now they dont appear in the custom maps folder.

[@GK_GAMES]

@@TheNyannyan48 i think you still need to use the modded .exe but cannot tell you more as i haven't played them

@@TheNyannyan48 sounds like youre choosing the wrong expansion in the single player Mode selection, maps are .scx so you will counterintuitively need to pick BW
