This Mod Adds 30 NEW Races to StarCraft 2?! (Modded SC2 Cast)

[@erlsgood7932]

Thanks for once again casting my mod! Refugees are definitely as complex as the races get. Their gimmick is the absurd amount of mechanics itself, heavily inspired by Frostpunk and its The Last Autumn dlc. The player has to manage: -motivation -hope -dissatisfaction -hazard level -manning buildings and units -laws -tech research -food -housing -power -multi-worker construction -weapon part production -individual unit upgrades WHILE still being a part of an active sc2 match. The end result is that Djrvy(the player in the video) is one of the roughly 5 total people who can play Refugees for over 3 minutes without losing to revolts of their own workers.

@@erlsgood7932 glad you found s your way to this video! Absolutely amazing work. Haha I had a feeling that the refugees were frostpunk inspired! That is so much management the player has to work with. I’m going to play them myself and see how long I survive before my people turn on me lmao Again, excellent work on this!

I'm in love with this concept, great job man!

I really like the idea of Refugees. I would've loved if Terran had a similar mechanic where they can build as many mech units as they want however those need to be manned by people who contribute to the pop-cap. It would allow for interesting strategies where when maxed out, instead of building a bank, you would build a military depot of unused equipment. This in turn would allow for fast remaxing Zerg style with the downside of potentially losing all the unmanned vehicles in a run-by.

[@ElleixGaming]

It would open the door for so much strategy! I understand balance might be an issue but even in some campaign missions it would be cool, having to keep an eye on your unmanned equipment would be really interesting

[@Double0hTater]

imagine how fuckin sick Starcraft would be if Blizzard started dropping these sub-sets of races as fully fledged playable races

[@willnash7907]

Feels like I'm watching interdimensional cable. An alternative version of StarCraft.

[@ElleixGaming]

Dude I love that description 😂😂 it really is like interdimensional TV for StarCraft

[@Xhromosomae]

A quick side note on Refugees vs anything else: they are not that overpowered, had an economy deflation and even got nerfed several times after that to keep their stuff in line with other races' units and abilities. Without addressing the enormous skill gap between the players, Refugees are complex and probably the single hardest race in the entire mod that needs you to know exactly how to play them. Of course since they only have a handful of rather micro-intensive units they will beat a swarm of zerglings each costing 5 minerals, that's game logic. What the Combined Broods player could do is macro better, use quality(Dominant and Angelic Bloodlisks and Ambushers, Angels, Dominant Torrasques, Empresses and even the more formidable Abathur's Chamber spawns) instead of quantity and simply use the Abathur's Chamber more often. Most of the time Combined Broods are playable with one or two cerebrates, but adding more tech trees and units is always great. Still, the games turned out to be pretty one sided unlike other games with djrvywfbjr. SharkFavorit's main is Forces Of Augustgrad, so he definitely played worse than he could. Edit: the lings on 13:51 probably died to the Combater after their frenzy stopped

[@ElleixGaming]

Thanks for the info @Xhromosomae - I'm curious about the dissatisfaction mechanic: at what point do the workers start retaliating? And do only a few at a time start doing damage to your buildings?

[@Kruggov]

​@@ElleixGaming From what I get about how dissatisfaction works - I think revolts start around 500 dissatisfaction (if you're confused, it's the red number on the Construction site). The way it works is that every few seconds the game rolls on "priming" one of the workers for a revolt. If the revolt succeeds, the worker then "pulses", causing nearby workers (and himself) to go on a rampage. Revolts can be quelled by giving extra food or offering minerals. If you hit 800 dissatisfaction, then the game checks for "priming" a worker for a revolution. If the check succeeds, it works the same way, but at a much bigger scale and, unlike a revolt, the revolution will spread and cause all nearby workers to go on a rampage. Much like a revolt, it's possible to quell it with food or minerals, but the chances are much lower (I think food has only 20% chance, minerals 50%). In both cases, workers that have been quelled (or "handled" by a specific unit made for just an occasion) will not revolt for a certain amount of time. As for the game itself, Shark... did not play that well. You need to be a korean or Serral to win the game with lings alone - especially weaker lings that die to a stiff breeze. Shark did not tech up, did not expand a lot and did not adapt when the siege blimp appeared, or his lings were obliterated by djrvy. So, naturally, he lost the moment djrvy got his momentum going. Not to mention, as Xhromosoma said, Shark was playing off race, he probably would be much better as Forces of Augustgrad, though considering his playstyle, it wouldn't be too fun to watch. As for djrvy, he is basically the primary refugee player in the community, and knows that race in and out. I wouldn't expect any less from him.

YESSSS COMBINED BROOD SHOWCASE!! I've been waiting to see them (among my other TUMOE faction showcase wishlist) in action for a while! I love the idea of the individual Cerebrates from the first game being actually playable, in their entirety, and expanded to have individual diverging tech branches too no less! That sort of stuff makes my SC1-fanatic Zerg brain SUPER happy! LIVE FOR THE SWARM! LONG LIVE THE OVERMIND!!

[@catbert7]

Love how both players saw that the Brazier completely dominates Lings and the response was for the Brood to keep building purely Lings and the Refugee to stop making Braziers. 5:30: Holy Carrion Locusts, Batman! 😮 That seems very strong. 6:08: Siege blimp is BALLER! 😄🥳 7:00: 9:10: OMG those Rays look sick AF! 13:40: The Combater's don't seem very... combative. 13:45: I don't know what that is either but it happened a couple times when he was attacking the Zerg base in the first game. 15:00: Who knew 70 Lings could die so fast 17:27: Yeah, so... the AoE dmg might be a TAD OP... 18:35: Siiiick xD

Yoooo awesome! I was wondering when we were next gonna have a TUMOE matchup again

[@ElleixGaming]

[@Kruggov]

Oh boy. Refugees are THE hardest race in the mod, hands down, and is very powerful in the hands of a player who can make them work, like djrvy. Players who can't, won't last five minutes as you need to pay attention to race mechanics IMMEDIATELY, or your race would just implode. I don't so I don't know much about this race - i know it was barely playable until like two or three months ago since its weapon mechanics were stuck in limbo. Another is that there are three subfactions within refugees that provide different ways of managing dissatisfaction, and some unique units. Meanwhile Combined Broods takes most of its cues from SC1 zerg tech tree. It has five cerebrates to choose from, and you can spawn a cerebrate every 5 minutes. The cerebrates have similar, but distinct tech trees, each focusing on a different gimmick. Finally, there's Abathur's chamber, which acts like a "top bar" kind of structure. Combined Broods are kind of controversial - that big an amount of variety means there's SO many cheese strategies that they can employ, and that races with weak base defence do not enjoy at all. While the skill floor for this one is not particularly high, you don't have to mix and match every cerebrate, the ceiling is indeed very, very high.

[@artemkezlya3983]

refugees are rather incomprehensible, their mechanism of discontent works very strangely

[@fixo5132]

would be so cool if they somehow introduce those races in coop...

[@Raijimura]

Idk The Zerg player build the same unit in both game just to have 80 of them die to 3 of the other races units and still kept building them.

[@catbert7]

Yes, he's not the sharpest tool in the shed ;p

[@overlord6253]

I would love to have a mod that would make the Terran race have the mechanics of Halo Wars, mix the Halo universe with Starcraft, add Spartan soldiers and Cyclops as playable units.

[@ElleixGaming]

Spartans and Cyclops as playable SC units would be so cool to see

you can run this mod and check it out and yes each faction has unique units

[@abhisekdas6204]

I think the refugees gameplay is pretty slow for one MAJOR REASON - Extremely slow base building. RTS is not just about Warfare, Its also about fast base building. So how can one expect to have the full might of the race with just one base 😅
