Spartan company: kicks brutalisk. Stetman: mm yes very good. will research.

[@hendrikgreiner8449]

So we can surmise that the research is in fact INSIDE the zerg!

[@spellmore]

stetman 1 minute later enjoying brutalisk bbq: Im going to eat it!

[@benjaminshinar9509]

Can you kick the brutalisk? Yes. Research complete.

[@luketalbot2643]

Something I'm not sure Grant noticed is that the SCVs all followed the HERCules when it was carrying the orbital. if the buildings work from within the Herc then thats nuts

[@linusgustafsson2629]

Imagine if you could lift up bunkers, and they'd shoot from the cargo space.

[@amateurishauthor2202]

amazing

[@soythelubu5389]

Imagine lifting bunk bunkers and both shoot Also does the tassadar teachings affect them?

[@mohaa556]

Yeah first thing came to mind when I saw that the hercules could pick up buildings is what if you make a ton of missle turrets dive the mothership with the herc, so you could essentially just spawn a ton of missile turrets under it, but if buildings work from the inside you don't even have to drop them.

[@kalebhopping800]

Planetary fortresses with planets…

[@majormajorasic]

14:10 For math, that mothership is doing 1400 DPS in 10 range :)

[@ZerakimSC2]

fun fact, it's actually 1344! the reason is because weapon speed can only go as fast as game ticks, which is 0.0625 (1/16th of a second) seconds. so the real math would be 14 multiplied by 6, giving you 84, divided by 0.0625 rather than 0.06 (SC2 doesn't like to show more than 2 decimal places)

[@majormajorasic]

@@ZerakimSC2 That's neat!

[@jamestsai4315]

The fact that you made all of your mech units organic means that Spore Crawlers completely wreck your air units. It feels like a straight up nerf in Zerg missions.

@@Enkelados35 no, phoenix has bonus vs light, not bio units

[@gigachadbosnianknight]

my theory on the research gained without killing the brutalisk is when kicked, the unit or building counts as non existant/non targetable, so the game understood that the brutalisk was ''dead'' at that moment.

[@CowCommando]

I figured the research gain is triggered when there is no longer a brutalisk on the island. When it got kicked, it was temporarily no longer on the island, so the research gain triggered.

[@gigachadbosnianknight]

@@CowCommando makes sense, which would also mean that if tosh picked it up, it would also give the research?

[@CowCommando]

@@gigachadbosnianknight if that's how it's programed and how Tosh's ability works, yes.

[@ZerakimSC2]

yeah you're pretty much spot on in editor jargon, the Spartan Company Kick uses a Launch Missile effect. This effect can use what is known as an Ammo Unit The thing about this, is that the unit is classified as dead upon impact, which is a default behavior of what a Launch Missile effect does (unless you change the Death field of the Launch Missile effect in the editor to be something else)

[@gigachadbosnianknight]

@@ZerakimSC2 I see, thank you for the precision

[@lucifersatan8240]

I feel like a better viking meme would be for it to have a "berserk" button, where it'd get massive buffs but you'd loose control over it and it'd just run around and shoot things for like 10 seconds.

New ability, I like it.

After the orbital kidnap by the Hercules I legit thought that Grant would ferry the entire basw into the other edge of the map.

The reaction of the HERCules inhaling the Orbital gave me an instant flashback to StarCrafts and the Medivac squeezing a tank and a Marine inside. I wonder how it looked inside the HERCules when the Orbital hit the cargo bay. Pure comedy gold. 😂

[@forrestjemming3148]

I wonder if loading a butt-ton of missile turrets into the herc and dropping those under the mothership is a viable strat

[@petrowegynyolc7108]

14:50 Come on Grant, we did the in-laws in S1E1 we wouldn't have had batten an eye.

[@poiuyt975]

It would be somewhat shameful to hear that Giant Grant has a little D. ;-)

[@techpriestsalok8119]

Honestly I wished they completely swapped Vikings attack, so you got a missile based anti air while landed and a hitscan based anti ground while flying.

[@domacleod]

I wish vikings got a lost vikings meme on them instead of just switching attacks. Like "Oh you start with 3 vikings, you can't make any more, each of the vikings has a different ability, you can only make another 3 vikings if the initial 3 die" and then you'd have a melee viking, a ranged viking and a defensive viking.

[@thomasfleming8131]

There is at least a small Lost Vikings reference. When you use the Valhalla ability you get one less Viking than actually died because that one gets lost.

[@glenmcgillivray4707]

I would have totally gone the longboat solution. Vikings would be three times as expensive and be deployed by longboat, where they all get out and start attacking like a carrier, the longboat would sit back and some minerals from the Vikings kills would be given back to the boat, dropping pickups around the map. When combat ends Vikings would return to the longboat and the longboat gets a speed buff. But that's just my take on the Vikings exploring the map. Frankly Vikings having super long range in ground mode sounds helpful to defense missions.

[@theangrysuchomimus5163]

It should be one viking and it can switch its (air to air) weapon with the different powerups from the Lost Viking minigame. On the ground it's a melee unit with a battle axe.

[@Storm2war]

broodlords medivacs and turning purifier from 200k to 350 in an instant.....I cant stop laughing

[@ZerakimSC2]

9:06 so yeah to explain, the spartan company kick turns the brutalisk into what is known as an Ammo Unit in the editor (basically a projectile/missile), when this happens, the unit is classified as dead upon reaching its impact location, which is why the bonus objective marked as complete another example of this would be the Artanis' Lightning Dash in Legacy of the Void, which is where this form of "launching" units really took off (which is why this isn't a problem in that one mission where you play as Artanis and other protoss heroes, because blizz prolly put some failsafe in there to prevent objectives from failing on Artanis death). this has been fun editor facts with zerakim

[@Slimurgical]

I love how this campaign project is singlehandedly proving that, yes, it is, in fact, completely true that we've only scratched the surface of what you can do with SC2's editor. I want to try and implement a streaming economy now, just a tiny bit.

[@hypotheticalaxolotl]

The zerg (and probably protoss) research gives The Funny Numbers in credits after all the lab tech is filled out. Nice, that's like 4x as much as normal xD

[@dhwwiiexpert]

Correct!

[@anzyroadside2374]

Grant found a pacifist way to get the research out of the Brutalisk

[@Lagger478]

Well okay, Grant, fine, you can beat this massive air unit somewhat normally, but I hope you realise this means you're obligated to vaporize the Leviathan by ramming it with Dave's Divine Depot Spam until it dies.

[@YarikTH]

Such a lost opportunity to apply Tassadar's tactics here...

I wonder if you can use the Ragnarok button to get over supplies in vikings? If so, you could launch suicide squads of vikings all through the mission and at the end spawn them so you have a massive air force to fight the mothership. Thanks for the memes! ^^

[@Althemor]

Viking idea: You can only build one which gets called the Lost Viking. Random powerups spawn on the map, allowing it to upgrade, there's some sort of life system and stuff. Essentially, adapt the Lost Viking minigame to the campaign.

[@tiborgrun6963]

The OSHA Inspector damaging the buildings reminds me of the Command & Conquer Red Alert Engineer / Invasor. Back then to conquer a building, it must have been damaged into the red, only then could you take control of the enemy building. Until then each invasor damages a portion of the building's hitpoints. So to conquer a building you needed a transporter full of 5 invasors. So they would run in one by one, turning the structure more and more into a ruin, until the last one finally goes in and says: This ruin is now officially yours, commander. And then if you had another invasor their second function was to heal your own buildings to full hp again. The later C&C games made the Engineer way stronger so that one is enough to conquer your construction yard, so you had to be really careful about transporters near your base. Do you happen to play some Command & Conquer sometimes? Sadly, the campaign is not as easily customizable as Starcraft, so I'm not sure how many good mods are out there.

[@qsfff5099]

They nerfed engineers in red alert, in tiberian dawn they just instantly capture buildings

[@avinotion]
