I replaced Devouring One with Torrasque because they were used as reinforcement and couldn't use Hunter Killer as well for the same reason. Additionally I disabled mutalisks and their production knowing you can't shoot air. I'm considering to develop it further but right now sadly too many IRL problems to deal with so things are inevitably gonna slow down. It's going to be a good challenge for Hard Mode enjoyers to tackle the campaign with other races, fingers crossed to see your approach! I will notify you as well when I will finish an episode or two.

​@@hamsterkoster Haha, I was surprised as well. Mapmaker seems to literally swap everything and I kinda like it - there's no repetitiveness.

Less goo😆

Aldaris is loser no matter what he does and what others. But he was right about Kerrigan at least.

He's a lot more annoying than Torrasque I think because you can't wall-in and block it.

Timing is strict if you wanna clear the entire map, you need to take expansion as soon as possible and do not waste your units, resources will run out slowly but surely in the end.

Things get worse. Penultimate mission of protoss took me almost 2 hours xD

Thank you. It's a challenging campaign compared to original and things aren't cakewalk.

@ManCubuSSC yes, it's indeed very very challenging! 😆😆 I restarted a few times on several missions to get things done right.

I always aim to clear the full map if it's not impossible.

Ha me too! Mega busy lately, barely have time to even open SC xD

True and that makes both branches a lot equal in difficulty.

You can use beacons to get hero units.

There's more in the way!

I never liked medivacs, they felt too fast. Original medics had a charm, were borrowed from Earth by UED.

These are essentials of SC. # = any number. Ctrl+# will create a new group with selected units. Shift+# will add selected units to an existing group.

@ManCubuSSC can you make video for that sir

@@lupixmansamdrope2087 Sorry, but I can't teach you how to play if you aren't willing to try it on your own. Only you by yourself can do that because it's a very mechanical demanding game. You can read more here: classic.battle.net/scc/GS/control.shtml

@@ManCubuSSC ok thanks buddy for the reference

I was planning to play it at 2nd half of year but only now could start it and I'm already liking it, difficulty is moderate. Wishing you more SC content for 2025!

Only the race and heroes, everything else including AI is same. I don't hold this campaign in very high regard, but it can definitely be enjoyable to play and experiment with. Plus, the dialogues are absolutely hilarious!

Poor Fenix, he's still going to end up allying with Kerrigan and meet his end by getting broodlinged by unrespectful cerebrates in the end.

I also liked that part, going out with a bang !

Too much charisma on that cowboy although too much simping for Queen of Blades (but that happened on other game so I forgive him).

You chose a hard path, playing Hard Mode from the middle is going to be really a heavy burden. As you can see, even for me Brood War Protoss Episode is already really tough. I suggest trying from the beginning. Main things you need to consider and focus on: First of all enemy reinforcements: if you can deal with them without panicking the rest is easy. 2nd make sure to pump out as much as you can hero units from beacon if that map allows it. The rest are just about expanding, gathering resources and macro.

@@ManCubuSSC I plan to complete the remaining StarCraft II campaigns, then clear Alternate, and afterward tackle the original Hard Mode step by step. It has been quite challenging so far, but I believe it will be an incredible journey 😊

@@All_Clear_Games I'm excited to see your strategies for Hard Mode and I have no doubt you'll succeed!

Hola amigo! It's always nice to see there are mapmakers still making content for this game. I will definitely check out your campaign in upcoming weeks, probably around next month. Stay tuned.

Hey! I like all kind of campaigns but if it's spicy I like it even more! Not some kind of bullshit absurd difficulty for the sake of it where you barely have anything and enemy has everything that makes playthrough annoying. If you have a suggestion you can leave as comment but beware youtube erases comments with links. I'm busy until the very end of this year but might get some free time next year.

I like Thrall-Arcturus, I enjoyed the prologue with him. A good, not hard or overly complicated micro mission for start of this episode. The trap with infested terrans was a good idea. The only thing I'm bit missing is bonus objectives, there were a lot of them on Episode 1.

I played this mission several times during the night prior to final recording, not because I couldn't beat it but because of how long it took and it felt like my air army was melting everytime I wandered further. Having at least 2 more hero scouts could've helped much more with annoying waves but the real pain was lack of gas, I even considered adding pure muta army and go with air combo for both races but it takes ages because the lack of gas and taking top left earlier than 20th minute is really hard. As you mentioned, lacking Hive tech severely limits the capabilities of zerg units, imagine having group of devourers - they could've murdered those annoying pesky flies, even cracklings could've been useful to sauron the enemy at end. Enemies near Overmind Jr. weren't as bad as hero units that spawned on 3rd episode of 10th mission near Temple, I remember ground pathing was fucked lol.

​@@ManCubuSSC Too much minerals and not enough gas seems to be a common theme in all the macro mission. Devourers would've been awesome, Devourer + corsair combo is not something you see everyday but would easily clear anything in the air. I think I remember seeing your comment complaining about the infinite spawning hero scouts near the temple lol.

showmethemoney 🤣🤣🤣

@@ManCubuSSC hehehe. literally a movie yow

My favourite mission was 7th, it was challenging and fun. Difficulty was cranked up compared to previous episode, especially last missions. Let's see if Episode 3 is going to be tougher.

Yep, just can't get enough free time lately. In future I'm thinking to focus on one or two campaigns instead of multiple ones because as you can see, I tend to delay/abandon some of them.

@ManCubuSSC awesome, looking forward to it and seeing how someone else managed 🤟

@@AdrianSlk Link on video description. Put files inside your "/maps" folder.

u wut mate?

You're right of course. Mapmaker cut the voicelines from different maps and mashed them together but they don't make much sense. Now with AI (shout out to Executor Nral) you can pretty much write your own lines with any voice and construct better conversations.

This is my favourite map of campaign by far, it has everything that RTS can offer. You can't attack move through map, you need to use strategy to beat it. The slowest part is around 1st generator, after you clear lower half of map things tend to go a lot faster. I wouldn't touch difficulty, it feels tough but you have a lot of resources to work with. P.S.: No problem, I'll keep posting. Try using various VPN if that helps.

Much obliged to you for following my channel! Unfortunately I have no plans to play SC2, especially when I barely have time to post SC1 content for this channel. Don't get your hopes up, but who knows, future is unclear, there's a chance I might try it one day.

Yes, if hero dies you lose the game like it was on original; for some reason mapmaker didn't update mission objectives with new hero unit names on briefing screen. I think there wasn't any other choice than replacing it with hero zergling to match it's abilities with Fenix so it won't be able to attack air, but I agree about HP being too low. I started campaign with Zerg and I don't wanna start another series before I finish it or it will be boring and confusing for viewers. My favorite race is Terran but I get along with Zerg. Protoss is my weakest race, although in campaigns protoss feels a lot powerful but I feel weak when I play multiplayer: clearing out those mines or dealing with mutalisks and hydras are so annoying for me. BTW, since you are reading this FYI: I don't know if you commented or not on previous video where we talked about hard campaigns and I asked about link. Just beware that youtube usually blocks comments with links: you can go to incognito mode to check if your comment appeared or not.

@@ManCubuSSC Interesting, usually protoss is recommended race and generally agreed upon to be the easiest to learn to play especially in multiplayer, maybe you're just naturally inclined to the other races. Thanks for the FYI looks like youtube removed the comment because it had a link.

@@hamsterkoster TH-cam acts very silly lately, censors almost every word and even if you fix/post again it might count as spam and won't show. We can exchange with links on discord, you can add me: mancubus94.

This mission felt easier than the previous because there weren't scripted attacks (wonder why mapmaker chose on some maps to go with them and to not on others) so it was a lot easier to smash through with your forces without worrying about incoming elite units. I came across this campaign at the end of last year on SEN and to my surprise, no one commented or played it, honestly I think it got attraction after I started uploading it, before no one even knew. Seems like pochoman123 also made co-op versions of Insurrection, Retribution and even Empire Wars (which was already hard to begin with) where AI mostly use Insane script and it includes modified bases, added hero units etc. I'm not sure if they use scripted attacks though, haven't checked yet. I discovered it by watching a korean player beating EW co-op by soloing it himself on youtube (that's what shows up when you search Empire Wars walkthrough) so it might be interesting for you and as for me after finishing Brood War. I set my gaze on those campaigns but maps need a tiny modification to adjust them for solo play - need to give 2nd player's base to the actual player. I'm also working on something which will let us hard mode enjoyers to play Hard Mode many times to test our skills :)

​@@ManCubuSSC Huh you're right, no attack triggers... that make me wish there was another protoss vs terran mission, seeing as this is the only macro based on in the campaign. I actually used to play with Pocho on some of his coop map edits, didn't realize he actually made them since he didn't put his name in the mission, only map description, and we played together occasionally so I missed a lot of the missions. This was back in like 2020/2021. I wonder what he's up to now, I haven't seen him online in a long time. If I recall correctly there weren't scripted attacks though, but he did have the trademark hero defenses so assaulting was always tough. Thanks for the recommendation though, I am looking for my next campaign playthrough. I found two (three?) Korean EUD edits of the original/broodwar campaign missions but I think playing them back to back would be tiring. The Korean EUD one requires SCA to "save" achievement progress that gives bonuses so definitely some interesting changes, unfortunately because it is an EUD map I am unable to translate it, best I think I can do for that is put an explanation of the changes/mechanics in the description/comments. That EUD one has a "Korean" difficulty and a much harder "nightmare" difficulty so I'm not sure if I want to count that as 1 or 2 separate campaigns, the guy is still making those versions (Korean difficulty is up to broodwar terran campaign, nightmare is only up to zerg original campaign). There's also one off campaign missions (original protoss mission 10 and broodwar zerg mission 10 seem like the most popular ones to edit) and campaign like missions that I think are pretty fun (most tend to be coop though). Actually when you have time you might enjoy The Huntress's Omega edit, he used EUD to give AI much stronger units (like valk with seige tank attack), and the AI factions get stronger as you eliminate the others (so map gets harder over time, not easier). I had to restart the mission and come up with a strategy to beat it.

@@hamsterkoster You intrigued me. I heard about SCA launcher, even tried a map which refused to load (gave me defeat screen) without it so I need to look further because I have no idea how it works. Yeah, as you pointed out, korean is going to be a barrier but I'll hapilly watch if you decide to play them in future and maybe mapmaker will think about making a version for "foreigners" if you propose that to him. Do you have link to Huntress's Omega and other maps? I will look into them. If you wanna check out, there's also StarCraft Alternate, a modded campaign which turns characters and their roles upside down and it has decent difficulty, top-notch map design and voiceover that added by Executor Nral. You can download it from Nral's channel, it's on video description.

I remember that line from Insurrection, it was said by Andraxxus. It's a nice way of using lines and even heroes from other semi-official campaigns. I liked this micro map, nothing special but you need to micro nevertheless to not lose your heroes. Next mission from what I remember is going to be tough.
