Warfield Is Ridiculous! - The Enhanced Swarm Mod - 07

[@Narsilion098]

"Widow Mines are fun" as a tooltip is master trolling

[@iooooooo1]

Reminds me of "To defeat a Tyrant, shoot at it until it dies" from Doom Eternal

[@zairaner1489]

I feel like the only way this would have been even funnier if the tooltip just said "widow mines", and nothing else.

[@petrowegynyolc7108]

"If the green bar above the unit is gone, the unit is destroyed."

[@mapron1]

Trolling? there are legit mines in the mission. It's a useful warning. Do you even know definition of 'trolling'?

[@AndyPeng-z1z]

Widow Mines juts got nerfed insanely guys

[@banjosquid9492]

Warfield is such a chad for using cloaked Predators

[@calebadam2576]

Grant just not noticing the bridges and overall accessibility changes on this map kinda amused me. "There's a bridge open somewhere! I wonder where that is." And the bridge leads directly into his main...

[@abaddonarts1129]

Especially when he got over near there when looking for the Lost Abominations, then mentioned "This is pretty open, there's nothing over here." and the big non-activated bridge was on screen. Totally understandable with how constant Warfield was applying pressure but it was very amusing to watch that go unnoticed. (Also it's not exactly pinged when the controls are turned on) Edit: Oh wow he actually just didn't see the second one when he was right on it because he was so used to the layout normally, and going towards where the next scourge should be. That's some really ingrained movement

[@JulianCastelle23]

To be fair it was pretty hard to notice in this hectic mission, I only just noticed the new bridge when his new units walked over it on the minimap. 2 yellow circle pings on the minimap might be needed for that bridge as QOL suggestion

[@calebadam2576]

@juliusrobertjuico6322 there's also a second bridge on the righthand side of the map that he spread creep up to but never explored the other side, having his units go the long way around. Every map has been altered and this one is no exception.

[@BluePhoenix_]

Isn't that business as usual? He is often so focused on playing, that he doesn't notice the game.

[@KnightNave]

Also note that it was super hectic. All good grant, if your reading this.

[@ChannelMiner]

The thing with the abominations resisting psionics makes me think that the Hybrid fights later on are gonna be crazy haha.

[@ilyamoskalev4nko676]

I sure its help not only against hybrid, but for example ghost snipes too, or maybe we will see more protoss with psi storm later

[@Ricardo_Rick]

i played and all i will say is: Stukov was right about the hybrid

[@waynehutchins3431]

That sounds terrifying. Also, does anyone know if the spell damage reduction works on things like Snipe?

[@ilyamoskalev4nko676]

@@waynehutchins3431 snipe should be a spell damage, but dev can change that

[@JulianCastelle23]

That felt like the most Zerg-y mission yet. Bilespawners, Festering Ones, and free Devouring Ones alltogether makes a massive expendable frontline while the rest of your units sit behind and provide a lot of covering fire.

[@TheUberjammer]

Just wait for Infested: 250 supply sky-zerg and a million infested terrans.

[@carstenschwarz4248]

Sandbags are obviously heroic. They can't be pushed around and they are always at the frontline, never moving an inch even against Kerrigan in all-in. I salute thee, stalward defender.

[@TheE_G_G]

I can't remember a time in the past several months where I felt as terrified as I did when I saw the words "Widow Mines are fun" appear on me screen

[@jaimycake]

Grant, you could have infested command centers for creep, at the end and at some other scourge nests.

[@quildiq]

And its also a free hatch, why dont use it? =)

I guess Grant doesn’t care about infested CC at this point but it would be cool if he got the planetary fortress at least once.

Hi Grant. Don't forget that infested CCs also are like main buildings. This also means that resources can be brought there.

I love that Grant and I both see the tip at the same time and in sync go "Oh no"

[@Ricardo_Rick]

Grant completely forgetting the usefullness of command centers on char after making a point of looking for them in other planets is something so odd but also so in character that i don't know what to think...

[@toddclawson2840]

It's funny watching the Gorgon's just fly by your army to head straight to hive. It's like "Hey do you think we should stop and help our troops that are getting slaughtered by that large army of zerg?" "Nah. They'll be fine."

[@SlimyGreenSlime]

....Are nukes spells? -80% damage resistance to nukes sound pretty funny.

[@hypotheticalaxolotl]

1:00 Don't worry, Grant. It's just the tip.

[@BoxheadBB]

With so many Command centers in this mission and even the last one near Scourge nest, it may be easier to keep the queen in the army to infect it and spread creep.

[@mapron1]

"even the last one near Scourge nest" well, they all intentionally placed near nest, not just one.

[@cottonpage26]

I love sc2 so much. Thanks for your contributions Grant. I know you said this will probably be the last big summer but keep it up friend 👍

[@zaxtonhong3958]

Wtf is this comments section Grant mows through the mission with literally no struggle. It’s actually not even remotely close. Makes it look easier than vanilla campaign And people are just talking about the bridges he didn’t see or command centers he didn’t use Right after Grant announces he’s been pissed at this kind of nitpicking for years

[@GaryFromLiberty]

The map changes on this map are really cool, really made it feel like a different experience

[@Etiennefdp]

This looks like the best custom campaign ever, seriously. Can't wait for it to be available.

[@FenekkuKitsune]

It already is. I’m playing it while watching Grant. Enhanced Swarm on Discord

Been loving the enhanced swarm mod and even started a playthrough myself keep up the vids!

[@natanoj16]

Seeing this mission always make me want to rewatch the 'Real scale' Heart of the Swarm video of the map

[@tabula_rosa]

i really like that the mission requires you to cover the whole map & eventually bust the enemy's main base. i feel like most SC2 campaign missions either didn't allow you to, never asked you to nor never gave you a reason to bust the enemy main base

[@lolgorwow]

wish tthis videos would come out like 3 hours earlier and it would be perfect for my bed time routine lol loving this mod

[@jinx0044]

Hey Grant, considering Infested CCs act like a hatchery, wouldn't it be a bit more effective to infest the orbitals, instead of destroying them and then building a new hatch? just from the perspective of used time. Great mod, great Char, and great play! Keep having fun!

[@mapron1]

Yeah, I was like laughing when he said "I don't need queen" at the beginning considering queens are most important on that mission.

[@mapron1]

Also probably a not well timed advice, considering how Grant record playthroughs. In the past he played mods for day or two and then slowly upload cuts to youtube. If that is not changed, mod play probably was finished 2 weeks ago.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

​@@mapron1you're fortunately very wrong. He used to do playthroughs of Mods on Stream, then cut them up and upload them onto the archives (hence the name). However, for quite a while he's been recording 1 archives videos daily and posting it the same day (sorta, i think he posts them at like midnight where he lives it's kinda silly). You can tell because sometimes he mentions that people in the comments were saying things, esspecially if it's useful advice or directions for which planet to go to. Thay being said, he generally doesn't mention or explicitly follow advice from the comments, as that sort of backseating gets kinda toxic very quickly and he does not want that in his community.

[@Santisima_Trinidad]

It probably would be, but instinct from thousand of hours of playing starcract says "kill command center, build hatch", doing something else requires conscious effort and you don't always have the mind space to do that when you're busy playing starcraft.

[@mapron1]

@@Santisima_TrinidadGood to know and good time to be wrong! Thanks. (that's why I put 'probably...' and 'if...')

[@daddysempaichan]

Grant will never remember that you can mine from Infested CC. It'll be great if he did, but yeah it's not something that comes up, like, at ALL, so I don't blame him for not remembering.

[@charlieawerbuch5352]

I love this mission. The changes to the map layout are phenomenal, and Warfield's defensive setup is what it always should have been. it felt like a legitimate grind to defeat him.

[@thecozyplace1206]

I'm so ffff excited for these videos omggg, it's like old KZbin is back!!

[@EmperorNefarious1]

Infested command centers are free bases, with a kerrigan ability they get free upgrades to orbital or planetary.

[@TheUberjammer]

Keeping queens in your army lets you use the attack speed debuff from ensnare on large groups, and then they auto-cast spawn broodlings. Also you need the extra anti-air sometimes, and they have a decent attack that keeps them at range. Also, Depot Dave's natural enemy is a handful of zerglings with the 'gets minerals and gas from attacking structures' upgrade.

[@FaylurAtGamn]

Balius and Xanthos are both immortal horses according to Ancient Greek lore

[@SirTyrin]

warfield suffers from having to be able to go to char early, with the planet order locked, he can be given the power he deserves

[@JurasJankauskas]

With all the extra crawler upgrades, I really want Grant to do a crawler rush in the style of old cannon rushes in one of these missions.

[@rkramer5629]

Every time a CC dies, I die a little inside 😂 - especially when it immediately gets replaced with a hatch! Don’t technically need to spread creep either on this mission. Move your CC next to each launcher.

[@EMDakka]

I see festering ones, i cant help but remember Marauder's campaign, the Bane faction edit: The archangel in the end? OMG ITS A BOOMROCKER

re: having more ways to spread creep floating an Infested Command Centre and tunneling the Omega Nydus Worm will both spread creep

[@matthewjohnson3656]

It never occured to me before but Warfield is doing a bunch of Bone Trench runs.

[@Lamane_suprame]

Ur the only reason why i still play sc

[@eddiebabinski407]

I basically cheesed this mention with the Omega Network. It spawns creep so all you need is a queen nearby to instantly create a tumor and job's done

[@Vicioussama]

2:26 I see Grant is a Vinland Saga fan ;) yes, we have no enemies.

[@eddiebabinski407]

Did Grant forget that you can infest command centers after the first one? He kept destroying them and sending a drone to build a hatch instead

[@JohnTrustworthy]

Did Grant not notice that infested Command Centers spread creep and spawn larva so they are practically a hatchery with liftoff? Cause he destroyed them just to build hatches and by the end he even said he is building hatches just for territory control.

[@Eniiu]

When I watched your deathles videos, it seemed to me that I had seen similar content before and I found it! there is a certain creator called SaintJam and his content is based on completing various games without losses of your own and without losses of allies, he additionally protects the area around them so that theoretically they do not die after the mission, you should watch it, it's really fun to watch sorry for my english im from poland and i did not learn it well

[@gregoirebasseville4797]

Wait, also ! Get pillage on your zerglings for the first attack of Warfield's base ! That could get you money to buy bile spewers DURING the first atta- No wait that's stupid. Everything gets nuked. Keep the money and you get a money drop to begin the mission instead. Also if you get a queen during the first attack, keep it alive to snipe all the command centers.

[@gregoirebasseville4797]

Infested command centers can work as mineral deposits like hatches, right? So on top of producing infested units and technically killing faster, infesting an enemy base saves time and ressources. That's nice.

[@Jeff_the_Hobo]

They also spit out a few larvae, if you're not using Omega Nydus Worms, they're good for adding a few extra units near the front as you need

[@Nekoyashiki-san]

Thanks for the enhanced fun! ^^

[@Player_Kolosus]

I love getting up early to see your series

[@Jolarikir]

The abominations also do spread creep from what I remember.

[@prayoga4419]

I was hoping the Gorgon would be more active in the defense. Since this is enhanced, the Gorgon should at least be actually overpowered.

[@Ziir93]

Omega nydus network kind of trivializes this mission, you can just put it next to a scourge nest and have a queen poop out a tumor and done

[@desfoxofthedesert]

That tool tip really freak me out a bit, cuz i primarily use zergling on this mission to run around easily

[@JimboMcBrostein]

Depot Dave noooo, how could he betray us after years of services :'(

[@SaltyNard]

I love(d) the infested command centre, it is (was) so awesome, those volatile infested deal 250 damage, 500 to structures, it's crazy. That is, if they detonate near the ENEMY, and not on each other, in my BASE. They may or may not deal friendly fire... and I may or may not be salty about it...

[@ytczech2746]

8:20 - why is Kerrigan not purple? Is it also in the base game?

[@Burnlit1337]

oof he keeps killing the Orbital Command Center, rip mules... WUT he killed another lone one at the corner? Where are his queens?! Oh the horror. Really should be using Queens in your army for this mod. Deals with the air, snipe tanks and slows cluster of enemies.

[@DioBrando-qi9so]

"pretty easy one" yeah sure just took me 50 minutes. its insane how much of a better player grant is. The next mission is going to be great

[@eglewether5523]

I always felt like this mission needed different ending, those gorgons should be just danger to you as you progress towards some main base or something. Winning mission by planting creep feels more like tutorial objective.

[@justanoman6497]

So I know for a fact that units are removed for the final cut scene, so lurkers won't work--your army is gone. I am surprised that tumors are not... which in then begs the question of whether structures are removed.... I'm tempted to try to put some spine in there to catch the escapees.

Wouldn’t work, unfortunately. The cloud doesnt hit air iirc and it also cant damage the gorgon so…

I have a question gor thw lore experts. Are the zerg after the same minerals as the terran and the protos. Like protos and terran arm mostly medal and oil or elecricity. And coupd probably the same maturals. But zerg are mad of flesh. I mean carbon could be form oil. But like minerals likemetal less so. Even with all there shells i dont think they are the same metals as terren or protos

To be honest, I don't think putting the last scourge in the enemy's main base makes much sense. Why wouldn't they just destroy it?

If I remember, it destroys any non robotic ground units and archons back in brood war. So stuff like probes, and reavers. Might have changed it here though. My guess is that the ai makes it so that it auto targets high value units because it would be wasteful vs marines and stuff.
