@@stefancraft1 excellent point! DuGalle would never plan with Mengsk, and Artanis might only hear a plan from Raynor as he hasn't ever worked along with Mengsk as well...

I'm pretty sure that after defeating Kerrigan, Mengsk and DuGalle will be enemies again

I know this is kinda beating a dead horse, but I miss this Kerrigan. The original voice actress seems to be having a lot of fun with the dialogue. She's ruthless and intimidating but at the same time she's clearly mocking her foes and cracking jokes. The new VA is great, but they gave her character almost no range. All of the footage I've seen, she's way too serious. Almost like she lost all the fire in her personality.
@@fishingmasterstudios9481 I feel like kerrigan was mentally deranged, being tortured by the infestation of the mind, where morality was trivial and her psychic call across space being a manifestation of her succumbing to the overmind and that psychic call being for those who she thought wronged her to witness her and despair at their "sins". I could also be completely wrong, but the kind of mentality above wouldn't phase kerrigan as the queen of blades was born of tortured thoughts. And I say a kerrigan who actually remembered her crimes paired with a scolding Jim would have made the first act of hots much cooler in my opinion.
UED campaign was the most interesting, and believable out of all. When I played as them, I felt that I am really doing something good for humanity, overthrowing a tyrant (Mengsk), and neutralizing a zerg threat. They had that strange aura of pride around them. But Dugale's biggest mistake was that he trusted an outsider, rather than his friend. I was so damn disappointed seeing Dugalle kill himself and his fleet being destroyed. I hope that they will return in Legacy/SC3.
The death of Gerrard Du Galle is one the most tragic ones I've witnessed. After achieving the goal of his mission all of his results are swept by the Queen of Blades. Tragic.
He was a noble man, but lost to his own hubris and obstinacy. He was too confident in the power of the UED to see the madness in the plan of “Chaining the beast”, and too dead set in his goals to even consider killing his friend and comrade Stukov. It was one of the greatest tragedies in SC universe, and what made the story so great.
I vividly recall playing SC's last mission when I was around 10 years old with a friend during a sleepover. The dialogues, the music the mission begins with was so perfect, it definitely gave you an eerie feeling. I was so accostumed to games where the good guy wins, so this ending really made an impression upon me; recall, I was around 10, so I didn't get all the nuances, but I do clearly remember thinking that, at some point, Raynor or some UED reinforcement fleet would arrive to save the "good guys" and it never happened. Instead you get the video of Kerrigan murdering all, DuGalle dying full of regrets and his fleet murdered, and an epilogue line saying that Kerrigan stood alone on a platform looking at space thinking that maybe all of this was a hollow victory. I recall laying in bed, unable to sleep and thinking of how this game made me feel, it really hit deep, and it taught me lessons I cherish to this day, most notably, that pride can blind you and speed your doom (The Protoss of the original SC, the Confederates, DuGalle with the UED, and then Kerrigan later on, winning but feeling empty) Then SC2 came and just made it a soap-opera between Kerrigan and Raynor which was such a shame, but we will always have SC1 at least.
This game and this mission always make me think; is my memory tainted by nostalgia I, or was it really that good? Hearing the first few notes of the epilogue song still me this grown ass man goosebump and a teary eye…
Yeah seriously. I really wish the story went in a different direction. Blizzard completely dropped the ball and pumped the cheese factor to 11 with Kerrigan being transformed from a bad-ass villain into a benevolent force of good.
"What point is there in protecting your society if you have to become as bad as the things you fight against?" A question everyone on Starcraft 2 needs to ask themselves.
Kerrigan: When it rains it pours. *later with Artanis* Raynor: My momma used to say when it rains it pours. So Kerrigan is the mother xD the brood mother xDD
Even after all these years, I can still recall that moment in time when as a young teen hearing Mengsk playfully and sarcastically quip with "three fleets?" My heart sunk and I thought "Oh shit".

Well, probably it had to do with the fact that all three forces were kicked into dust already. Mengsk was beaten 2 times, Artanis' forces were crippled during the betrayal of Kerrigan and the UED was also screwed up when you took back Korhal.
Too many cooks spoil the broth, perhaps? They certainly each had separate strategies and priorities while the zerg are designed to be flawlessly coordinated. Like Cortez said, they were weakened and they all had future battles to be fought in mind; seeing that Kerrigan was not yet ready to annihilate them all (except for the UED...) they must have seen that dying to kill Kerrigan would not be worth their future (especially for Mengsk).
it seems like SC2 is wayyy more ADHD friendly in a way. the story and especially the dialogue kinda felt fake compared to SC1. i dunno how to explain this. all i know is i miss the mission briefings being like this right here. masterful.
I was entertained by SC2, but it just didn't excite me in the same way as SC and BW did. I thought the gameplay was great, the story bitterly weak (except a handful of moments I really enjoyed). I haven't completely ruled out making similar SC2 campaign videos, but it's hard to imagine every feeling the motivation.
Kebooooo right. i generally have no complaints about SC2, besides the story and to a lesser extent the smooth, way-less-gritty-than-SC1, art style. it's a fine game
I think it's a case of them turning up the stakes to extreme new highs and focusing on how epic everything is, rather than keeping the story believable and grounded despite the fantastic things going on.
SkullCapper Dude, when the UED will be back for Startcraft III (I think), it's will be a huge conflict. Maybe the UED have aliens allies that arent zergs, Xel Naga or Protoss.
Can't be Protoss. Everyone will be allied at the end of Starcraft 2. Can't be Xel'naga since supposedly all of them are dead. However I do believe the U.E.D will have something up their sleeve. :p they nearly defeated all 3races with a small expeditionary fleet. It took their dwindling numbers and the Terren, Protoss, and the Zerg to defat them
Nice one. I've beaten every mission in all the campaigns except for the last 3 of this campaign. I hope to get that done soon. That final mission is tough. Good job holding them off.
Part of me regrets not using more balanced compositions, just for the purpose of better representing the setting and the Zerg. At the same time, I wanted to be as unobtrusive to the camera/view as possible, making that combo so much simpler to use than anything else.
Kebooooo wow okay, thanks for that, although many people would like a rerun of this mission with ling hydra, etc. Although I'm happy with this video already :D.
Y'know, when i was 4-{years old and got through this mission by "There is no cow level"... i was SO young i didn't understood the story, but now that i do understand everything, all i can say is... fuck. Cannot believe that in the Terran Campaign, the UED was nothing but antagonists who went against its own people Stukov and DuGalle... will be missed.
The UED wanted to unify humanity under their banner (''reclaim'' the colonies they themselves had originated) and counteract the alien threat represented by the Zerg and the Protoss. They were pro-humanity, and their invasion had a rather greyish moral tone, which made them somewhat sympathetic to some. Kerrigan was just a backstabbing, cunning strategist who seized the good occasions at the right time. She was absolutely crazy. Her victory in the Brood War is a rather bleak ending. Major human factions have suffered desicive defeats and the mighty Protoss empire has become but a shadow of its former self. The Zerg are completely unified under one banner, and the future remains uncertain.
I agree, the UED fleet under Admiral Dugalle was only an expeditionary force and NOT the entire collective fleet of the UED army. If you look into the history of Starcraft the earths population exceeded over 20 billion or so people so the UED sent all of its criminals and "undesirables' to all the outlying colonies of the Koprulu sector of the galaxy to colonize the planets there.
If anyone is having trouble with this mission, DuGalle is VERY weak against Hydras, What I did was build 3/3 hydras till I hit Supply cap then massacred Him first, being sure to take out the 2? siege tanks in his base asap. Then I used the remaining army + Whatever reinforcements I had built to take down Artanis, Making sure to attack from the south part of his base as I mined from DuGalle's old base. Be sure to bring plenty of Overlords because for some reason, the Dark Archons like to prioritize them for Mind control. After that I just attack Mengsk with air units like you see in the video. Thank to DuGualle's Base I have PLENTY of resources to do this with. While he is the most annoying of the 3, He isn't THAT big a threat as long as you pay attention to nukes and irradiation.
They might, but right now they have internal problems, it was mentioned at a blizzard press conference. The UED wants to return to the sector but have internal unrest at the moment.
The sounds and voices in this game were vastly superior. I like SC2 a lot but one place the ball felt dropped most was in protoss voices and Kerrigan's voice. Ah well.
Thinking back right now, i wonder what will DuGalle dead soul think right now to see Stukov is alive and working with the Swarm. Another thing is, will the UED come back in the legacy of the void?
Thank you and good job with these videos. Dugalle may not be a bad guy yet it is his fault to trust duran in the first place to kill his friend which leads the UED downfall. Duran got much to answer for in SC2.
It sounds like finishing off the UED last is the canonical way to finish the mission. The way the dialogue is set up fits so well into the final cutscene.
3:00 Mengsk: "Congratulations, Kerrigan. You've beaten me again. Just remember that I'll be out there... Waiting for you to slip up. Because sooner or later you'll make a mistake. And when you do..."
Actually SC2 did say humans perished before the Protoss, but that might only be in the Koprulu Sector. I mean, the Solar System is WAYYYYY too distant so the hybrids may not have reached Earth yet. In other words, humans in the Koprulu Sector might all have died but not the humans back on Earth. I think the UED will make an appearance.
besides as I said .. even if that was truth dosen't changes the fact the even knowing who she was and what was done to her, kerrigan still decided to embrace the monster instead of doing something about it ...which is why Jim Raynor vow to kill her
Admiral Dugalle was selfish. He choose an easy way out, rather than helping his remaining forces to retreat in Earth. With his death, the UED expeditionary forces crumbles apart and killed by the SWARM.
ahh now I can sleep tonight. I searched for almost an hour to find a video that had the only proper attacking sound of a hydra spewing acid from it's shoulders onto its enemies. I feel at ease now. ^_^
They need to go back to this if Starcraft 3 or a spin-off is reality in the future. Hard to say though. The writing across all Blizzard games after 2008ish has just been subpar. I like to think Starcraft was Metzen's baby, probably the best game he's put together. Must have been some real shit hampering him with the sequel and that's why we got what we got.
I can't say I completed Brood War. Because of this mission. Zerg mission 10 is so tough and no matter how many times I tried, I lost every single time. I was playing this 8 or 9 years ago and I'm not sure if I want to try and complete this level all these years later. Strangely enough, I don't remember having much trouble with mission 8, yet apparently that's the hardest of all the missions.
The way I see it tge UED will not be Heart of The Swarm as a force like in Brood War. Instead I think they will at least be mentioned somewhat in the Campain. Its ny hope that in Heart of The Swarm Kerrigan does something such prepare an invasion of the Earth again that attracts the UEDS attention so that they return in vast numbers for the protoss expasion to fight tge Xel Naga. Kinda like poking a mountain lion to help fight a Grizzly Bear.
@MMOPalace I think they're coming out in the expansions. Yes, there are two, and they sound like they'll have the Protoss and Zerg Campaigns, respectively.
Depends on the politics. If all of this is bad press back on Earth, then you may be right. I would like to think that the UED would be the "sleeping giant" that would be awaken to crush the Zerg with all due vengeance. I would love to see that realized.
"you vastly underestimate me my dear" "i dont think so admiral. you see, at this point... im pretty much the queen bitch of the universe and not all of your little soldiers or space ships will stand in my way again"
They left most of their BIG Guns at home though and stole much of their stuff from the Dominion though arguably they brought better specialists which explains how they pacified the Zerg and found the Psi-Disruptor so fast that Mengsk spent at least months trying to find.
I think Kerrigan stared being a joke after she was rescued in Char by Raynor, you know, before that happened she was a badass when she was under control of the Supermind, when she was rescued she kept on being the Queen of Blades, but she already thought by herself, it means like Kerrigan when she was a human , without the dark feelings.
Well he DID allow a Terran Colony to be overrun by Zerg just to show his best buddy what the Zerg are like and then when his staff asked if they should intervene they abandoned BOTH some troops and the colony. Granted it was a small colony and a small company but still. Plus he was serving a Government that sought to Enslave the Zerg and use it to pacify both Protoss and Terran indifference to Earth interests. Even with good intentions such a Perogative is playing with Fire. Moral of the game.
Thank you for writing my exact thoughts. I hate how theyre turning her into such a pompous and tragic character. Shes now "driven by vengeance and haunted by her guilt" and all that cliche bs. She was much more genuine back when she "just wanted to watch the world burn"
If elslaving the overmind was the only way to keep the Zergs at bay then so be it... Prottos weren't much better either, they destroyed the entire planets.
Tassadar's carrier fleet stopped glassing worlds after Tarsonis. And the protoss empire after the disbandment of the conclave is the most "lawful good" faction in the game.
@Virtuoso883 You underestimate Zerg biotechnology. Zerg tech is different but possibly more advance than terran tech and on par with toss tech. There's a reason why the Overmind was a towering brain. The Zerg also use wormholes to travel the galaxy.
@ZergSwarmling and if that's not enough salt poured into the wound, here's another thing.. The plot is Warcraft 3: - Protoss+Zerg+Terran allegiance = Orc+Human+Night Elves allegiance - Hybrids = Demons - Zerg ex-slaves of Hybrids = Orcs ex-slaves of Demons - Dark voice = Archimonde
Mengsk did went to far but so did Kerrigan during brood war and back then before SC2 she with the overmind dead she was in full control ..she wasnt victim of some second "zerg" personality .. she was simple drunk with power and the whole point of brood war was how irredeemable she was
Anyone with a deeper knowledge of the SC series, I need to make a thing or two clear: - I'm presuming that, when Artanis and his guys arrived at Char, they might have checked Zeratul's base on the surface and found Raszagal's body. Ok with that. It seems the protoss just didn't examined the body. - If contact between the protoss of Aiur and Shakuras was lost after Raynor screwed up the warp gate... how did Artanis got to know that Fenix died?
All protoss (except for dark templar) are connected by the khala, a communication thing that lets the protoss communicate with their minds, they can speak telepathically too, and they can feel emotions. So as soon as Fenix died, Artanis sensed that Fenix wasnt there.
@leegeorgeson when you think of the first Overmind that was in SC, you think it's 100% evil, when in turn, it was trying to save alot of lives. with it's ultimate key. Kerrigan.
They added the song that plays at 7:28 to the main title of Starcraft 2. So awesome. : D. -Also, Kerrigan says she's still the Queen Bitch of the Universe in Starcraft 2 as well.
Because out of the 3, she considered the UED to be a real threat. If any of the UED survivors had made it back to Earth, more of them would have returned with even more advanced weaponry.
@Gcwarrior123 Wings of Liberty was supposed to focus more on Raynor, with Kerrigan just there to justify his actions. Hopefully she will make a more badass comeback in Heart of the Swarm, where we'll get to explore all her motives and what she did during WoL.
If you claim that expansion to the south early on and build like 10 extra hatcheries (along with about 3 or 4 sunken colonies at each base entrance), just mass produce hydras and go in any direction. If you move quickly enough, the enemies will not have tech'd up with their support casters. I didn't have any problems with this one...I found mission 7 and 8 to be harder.
@TemplarX2 look up legacy metzen interview "Daggoth is dead, along with the rest of the cerebrates. Kerrigan is the sole power behind the Swarm now. Daggoth could not sustain himself without the Overmind and other cerebrates to power him. We’ve suggested before that the Overmind and its cerebrates were symbiotically linked. The cerebrates were not designed to exist without their creator. That’s a partial reason behind the cerebrates’ merging into a new, singular Overmind during the broodwar"
They would only need 1 year in average to get to the Koprulu sector. The United Power Leage (predecessor of the UED) was watching their wayward colonies all the time, and when the zerg and protoss appeared, they reformed to the UED and send immediately their fleet. The time between SC 1 and SC: BW is said to be only one year, so the UED has a quick response time... if it wants to... and Blizzard wants them to play a role again...
No wonder they lost with tactics like 2:50. Really, that could hardly be called "tactics" at all. It's like they did as much as possible to send 90% of their forces to their deaths for no effect whatsoever.
Even if someone doesn't really care for their family, learning that they were brutally decapitated isn't something most people can just shrug away. And I think there was evidence that he cared for his little sister (but not the rest of his family mind you.) Mind control or not, Kerrigan was the instrument of their destruction, and it speaks volumes on the mind of Mengsk that he would make use of Kerrigan, rather then just getting revenge at the first opportunity.
They added the song that plays at 7:28 to the main title of Starcraft 2. So awesome. : D. -Also, Kerrigan says she's still the Queen Bitch of the Universe ine Starcraft 2 as well.
@Andrewsafb71 Kaloth not Daggoth. Clearly he found a way to sustain himself and he even managed to revive Stukov. Kerrigan also managed to sustain her own cerebrate.

right. i generally have no complaints about SC2, besides the story and to a lesser extent the smooth, way-less-gritty-than-SC1, art style. it's a fine game
I think it's a case of them turning up the stakes to extreme new highs and focusing on how epic everything is, rather than keeping the story believable and grounded despite the fantastic things going on.
6:29-6:33 That marine is realy drunk XD
Too many stim packs.
I remember hoping as a kid that raynor would show up randomly and complete his vow.
"You see, at this point... I'm pretty much Queen Bitch of the Universe."
Friggin right.
It's a damn shame that UED left the big guns at Earth.
SkullCapper Dude, when the UED will be back for Startcraft III (I think), it's will be a huge conflict. Maybe the UED have aliens allies that arent zergs, Xel Naga or Protoss.
Can't be Protoss. Everyone will be allied at the end of Starcraft 2. Can't be Xel'naga since supposedly all of them are dead. However I do believe the U.E.D will have something up their sleeve. :p they nearly defeated all 3races with a small expeditionary fleet. It took their dwindling numbers and the Terren, Protoss, and the Zerg to defat them
MaxMikescrool1 Xel'Naga arnt all dead, from the looks of it they are the main antagonist
braedon richardson
They are all dead. Supposedly the the main antagonist from SC2 is revived Xel'Naga
***** No he died. Then he's revived in HoTS or WoL
Nice one. I've beaten every mission in all the campaigns except for the last 3 of this campaign. I hope to get that done soon. That final mission is tough. Good job holding them off.
guardians and devourers are da best troop conposition inf BW campaign :P
Part of me regrets not using more balanced compositions, just for the purpose of better representing the setting and the Zerg. At the same time, I wanted to be as unobtrusive to the camera/view as possible, making that combo so much simpler to use than anything else.
Kebooooo wow okay, thanks for that, although many people would like a rerun of this mission with ling hydra, etc. Although I'm happy with this video already :D.
Too bad Kerrigan killed the cerebrate. Who kills a perfectly good gigantic slug-like alien tactician?
She wanted to get rid of any remainder of the Overmind since they could have been corrupted
+StormrageXD it was just one Cerebrate, it takes multiple to create an Overmind.
I don't think she killed him but he died because he couldn't survive without the existence of an overmind.
A generic cartoon villain, which is what she's become on Starcraft 2 (along with being the designated protagonist nobody wants).
13 years ago, im still playing the campaign today hahaha
I admit Dugalle went down like a man, instead of a wimp
You mean he send all his MAN to death, like a coward
Y'know, when i was 4-{years old and got through this mission by "There is no cow level"... i was SO young i didn't understood the story, but now that i do understand everything, all i can say is... fuck.
Cannot believe that in the Terran Campaign, the UED was nothing but antagonists who went against its own people
Stukov and DuGalle... will be missed.
Stukov actually is in Starcraft 2, and is one of the new Kerrigan allies.
i played this game when i was 7 and i didnt get anything also, but i used "power overwhelming" and "show me the money" on every mission XD
Yeah, i did the same and skipped the whole damn interesting story.
And that's why... i knew more Warcraft's story than Startcraft D:
The UED wanted to unify humanity under their banner (''reclaim'' the colonies they themselves had originated) and counteract the alien threat represented by the Zerg and the Protoss. They were pro-humanity, and their invasion had a rather greyish moral tone, which made them somewhat sympathetic to some. Kerrigan was just a backstabbing, cunning strategist who seized the good occasions at the right time. She was absolutely crazy. Her victory in the Brood War is a rather bleak ending. Major human factions have suffered desicive defeats and the mighty Protoss empire has become but a shadow of its former self. The Zerg are completely unified under one banner, and the future remains uncertain.
I agree, the UED fleet under Admiral Dugalle was only an expeditionary force and NOT the entire collective fleet of the UED army. If you look into the history of Starcraft the earths population exceeded over 20 billion or so people so the UED sent all of its criminals and "undesirables' to all the outlying colonies of the Koprulu sector of the galaxy to colonize the planets there.
Gotta love the background music when Dugall says his last words! The mother of the main theme of Starcraft 2 Main theme!
If anyone is having trouble with this mission, DuGalle is VERY weak against Hydras, What I did was build 3/3 hydras till I hit Supply cap then massacred Him first, being sure to take out the 2? siege tanks in his base asap.
Then I used the remaining army + Whatever reinforcements I had built to take down Artanis, Making sure to attack from the south part of his base as I mined from DuGalle's old base. Be sure to bring plenty of Overlords because for some reason, the Dark Archons like to prioritize them for Mind control.
After that I just attack Mengsk with air units like you see in the video. Thank to DuGualle's Base I have PLENTY of resources to do this with. While he is the most annoying of the 3, He isn't THAT big a threat as long as you pay attention to nukes and irradiation.

Mengsk was a good character in SC1. In SC2 they took away what made him so good.
everyone is like "kerrigan u'ill die" or kerrigan ure a bitch
then kerringan is like "no" "and yes i'm a bitch" "deal whit it"
They might, but right now they have internal problems, it was mentioned at a blizzard press conference. The UED wants to return to the sector but have internal unrest at the moment.
Would have been hilarious if you had to face a fourth enemy made up of Renegade Zerg and led by Daggoth.
The sounds and voices in this game were vastly superior. I like SC2 a lot but one place the ball felt dropped most was in protoss voices and Kerrigan's voice.
Ah well.
Thinking back right now, i wonder what will DuGalle dead soul think right now to see Stukov is alive and working with the Swarm.
Another thing is, will the UED come back in the legacy of the void?
nope xD
Nope lol
The UED was better than the Dominion.
"When it rains, it pours" great line
Thank you and good job with these videos.
Dugalle may not be a bad guy yet it is his fault to trust duran in the first place to kill his friend which leads the UED downfall.
Duran got much to answer for in SC2.
It sounds like finishing off the UED last is the canonical way to finish the mission.
The way the dialogue is set up fits so well into the final cutscene.
3:00 Mengsk: "Congratulations, Kerrigan. You've beaten me again. Just remember that I'll be out there... Waiting for you to slip up. Because sooner or later you'll make a mistake. And when you do..."
Actually SC2 did say humans perished before the Protoss, but that might only be in the Koprulu Sector. I mean, the Solar System is WAYYYYY too distant so the hybrids may not have reached Earth yet. In other words, humans in the Koprulu Sector might all have died but not the humans back on Earth. I think the UED will make an appearance.
I remenber this mission, it was a difficult one!
Starcraft 2 should've been all the good guys getting their revenge.
Not a Dragonball Z fight with Cthulu.
besides as I said .. even if that was truth dosen't changes the fact the even knowing who she was and what was done to her, kerrigan still decided to embrace the monster instead of doing something about it ...which is why Jim Raynor vow to kill her
Admiral Dugalle was selfish. He choose an easy way out, rather than helping his remaining forces to retreat in Earth. With his death, the UED expeditionary forces crumbles apart and killed by the SWARM.
That could be a canon explanation for why Valkyries were replaced by Vikings in SC2. The Valkyries need those German pilots from Earth. XD
ahh now I can sleep tonight. I searched for almost an hour to find a video that had the only proper attacking sound of a hydra spewing acid from it's shoulders onto its enemies. I feel at ease now. ^_^
They need to go back to this if Starcraft 3 or a spin-off is reality in the future. Hard to say though. The writing across all Blizzard games after 2008ish has just been subpar. I like to think Starcraft was Metzen's baby, probably the best game he's put together. Must have been some real shit hampering him with the sequel and that's why we got what we got.
@MichaelK2323 It's uploaded, the bonus mission actually comes before this one, not after.
And so it comes to a close... for now... but just until the 27th! Thanks for sharing these videos with us mate and refreshing our memories! :)
I can't say I completed Brood War. Because of this mission. Zerg mission 10 is so tough and no matter how many times I tried, I lost every single time. I was playing this 8 or 9 years ago and I'm not sure if I want to try and complete this level all these years later. Strangely enough, I don't remember having much trouble with mission 8, yet apparently that's the hardest of all the missions.
Whoa, I just realized that DuGalle's voice is similiar to Russian's dub of Count Duku's voice in SW Episode 3
Dude kerrigan didn't know of amon at the time. Duran was the only one who did and was trying to revive him.
The way I see it tge UED will not be Heart of The Swarm as a force like in Brood War. Instead I think they will at least be mentioned somewhat in the Campain. Its ny hope that in Heart of The Swarm Kerrigan does something such prepare an invasion of the Earth again that attracts the UEDS attention so that they return in vast numbers for the protoss expasion to fight tge Xel Naga. Kinda like poking a mountain lion to help fight a Grizzly Bear.
the storyline of this game is so fucking epic....
@MMOPalace I think they're coming out in the expansions. Yes, there are two, and they sound like they'll have the Protoss and Zerg Campaigns, respectively.
Oh I think he was a villain, but a complex and charismatic one. The way the villains should be, to be interesting foes.
DuGalle's letter to his wife never made it to her. Kinda sad, no one on Earth knows exactly what happened to the Expeditionary Fleet,
I remember even with Guardians/Devourers, this mission is brutal. Especially with Dugalle endlessly spewing out air units.
@PsionicGamer : it is called Zerg Devourer , my friend :)
Queen Bitch Of The Universe should be the name of a band.
Depends on the politics. If all of this is bad press back on Earth, then you may be right. I would like to think that the UED would be the "sleeping giant" that would be awaken to crush the Zerg with all due vengeance. I would love to see that realized.
"you vastly underestimate me my dear"
"i dont think so admiral. you see, at this point... im pretty much the queen bitch of the universe and not all of your little soldiers or space ships will stand in my way again"
They left most of their BIG Guns at home though and stole much of their stuff from the Dominion though arguably they brought better specialists which explains how they pacified the Zerg and found the Psi-Disruptor so fast that Mengsk spent at least months trying to find.
I think Kerrigan stared being a joke after she was rescued in Char by Raynor, you know, before that happened she was a badass when she was under control of the Supermind, when she was rescued she kept on being the Queen of Blades, but she already thought by herself, it means like Kerrigan when she was a human , without the dark feelings.
"I don't think so admiral. You see at this point i'm pretty much queen bitch of the universe" LOL that was my favorite line in brood-wars.
Hm, wonder if we could get Starcraft 3 with the Koprulu sector fights against UED invasion.
+MJk Slasher
I pretty much mission them in SC II, I loved UED, at least Stukov is here :/.
Well he DID allow a Terran Colony to be overrun by Zerg just to show his best buddy what the Zerg are like and then when his staff asked if they should intervene they abandoned BOTH some troops and the colony. Granted it was a small colony and a small company but still. Plus he was serving a Government that sought to Enslave the Zerg and use it to pacify both Protoss and Terran indifference to Earth interests. Even with good intentions such a Perogative is playing with Fire. Moral of the game.
Yeah I see your point. But I still really wanted the UED to win when I was playing. XD
@Eclipton We all know that Kerrigan has an unnamed cerebrate ( the one we play as and that control Kerrigan's swarm). He is one possibility.
Thank you for writing my exact thoughts. I hate how theyre turning her into such a pompous and tragic character. Shes now "driven by vengeance and haunted by her guilt" and all that cliche bs. She was much more genuine back when she "just wanted to watch the world burn"
Excellent work, man! Thanks for all the videos!
If elslaving the overmind was the only way to keep the Zergs at bay then so be it...
Prottos weren't much better either, they destroyed the entire planets.
Tassadar's carrier fleet stopped glassing worlds after Tarsonis. And the protoss empire after the disbandment of the conclave is the most "lawful good" faction in the game.
@ScrwNames Yes it's canon as it was released by Blizzard itself and is part of starcraft wikia.
@Virtuoso883 You underestimate Zerg biotechnology. Zerg tech is different but possibly more advance than terran tech and on par with toss tech. There's a reason why the Overmind was a towering brain. The Zerg also use wormholes to travel the galaxy.
@ZergSwarmling
and if that's not enough salt poured into the wound, here's another thing..
The plot is Warcraft 3:
- Protoss+Zerg+Terran allegiance = Orc+Human+Night Elves allegiance
- Hybrids = Demons
- Zerg ex-slaves of Hybrids = Orcs ex-slaves of Demons
- Dark voice = Archimonde
this who play sc2 I just found something out for campaign Narude is like Duran spelled backwards that's crazy
Spoilers:
It's the same creature - an evil Xel'Naga!
there are more tough missions, search play custom folders and play use map settings.
"I'm pretty much the Queen Bitch of the universe"-Kerrigan
I'm always wondering how I beat this game when I was 10 years old
Mengsk did went to far but so did Kerrigan during brood war and back then before SC2 she with the overmind dead she was in full control ..she wasnt victim of some second "zerg" personality .. she was simple drunk with power and the whole point of brood war was how irredeemable she was
Anyone with a deeper knowledge of the SC series, I need to make a thing or two clear:
- I'm presuming that, when Artanis and his guys arrived at Char, they might have checked Zeratul's base on the surface and found Raszagal's body. Ok with that. It seems the protoss just didn't examined the body.
- If contact between the protoss of Aiur and Shakuras was lost after Raynor screwed up the warp gate... how did Artanis got to know that Fenix died?
All protoss (except for dark templar) are connected by the khala, a communication thing that lets the protoss communicate with their minds, they can speak telepathically too, and they can feel emotions. So as soon as Fenix died, Artanis sensed that Fenix wasnt there.
@leegeorgeson when you think of the first Overmind that was in SC, you think it's 100% evil, when in turn, it was trying to save alot of lives. with it's ultimate key. Kerrigan.
They added the song that plays at 7:28 to the main title of Starcraft 2. So awesome. : D.
-Also, Kerrigan says she's still the Queen Bitch of the Universe in Starcraft 2 as well.
Yes, but ill be finishing the campaign on my own when Sc2, When i break the disc ill watch you and it'll bring some memories back :)
I don't understand why she let the remnant Mengsk forces and Artanis's brethren to flee and kill only the UED remainders.
Because out of the 3, she considered the UED to be a real threat. If any of the UED survivors had made it back to Earth, more of them would have returned with even more advanced weaponry.
D180223 Righteous ma breda
Among the three UED is most powerful thats why she killed them all....
@Gcwarrior123
Wings of Liberty was supposed to focus more on Raynor, with Kerrigan just there to justify his actions. Hopefully she will make a more badass comeback in Heart of the Swarm, where we'll get to explore all her motives and what she did during WoL.
If you claim that expansion to the south early on and build like 10 extra hatcheries (along with about 3 or 4 sunken colonies at each base entrance), just mass produce hydras and go in any direction. If you move quickly enough, the enemies will not have tech'd up with their support casters. I didn't have any problems with this one...I found mission 7 and 8 to be harder.
Gerard DuGalle my favourite character of SC1.
@TemplarX2
look up legacy metzen interview
"Daggoth is dead, along with the rest of the cerebrates. Kerrigan is the sole power behind the Swarm now. Daggoth could not sustain himself without the Overmind and other cerebrates to power him. We’ve suggested before that the Overmind and its cerebrates were symbiotically linked. The cerebrates were not designed to exist without their creator. That’s a partial reason behind the cerebrates’ merging into a new, singular Overmind during the broodwar"
I remember reading that Earth had much better technology than the Terrans.
@Cesar Servin
Some people say Duran was Dr. Narud. 'Dr. Narud' was an ally of the Hybrids. *Spoiler* But Kerrigan killed him later.
They would only need 1 year in average to get to the Koprulu sector. The United Power Leage (predecessor of the UED) was watching their wayward colonies all the time, and when the zerg and protoss appeared, they reformed to the UED and send immediately their fleet. The time between SC 1 and SC: BW is said to be only one year, so the UED has a quick response time... if it wants to... and Blizzard wants them to play a role again...
No wonder they lost with tactics like 2:50. Really, that could hardly be called "tactics" at all. It's like they did as much as possible to send 90% of their forces to their deaths for no effect whatsoever.
Even if someone doesn't really care for their family, learning that they were brutally decapitated isn't something most people can just shrug away. And I think there was evidence that he cared for his little sister (but not the rest of his family mind you.) Mind control or not, Kerrigan was the instrument of their destruction, and it speaks volumes on the mind of Mengsk that he would make use of Kerrigan, rather then just getting revenge at the first opportunity.
They added the song that plays at 7:28 to the main title of Starcraft 2. So awesome. : D.
-Also, Kerrigan says she's still the Queen Bitch of the Universe ine Starcraft 2 as well.
@Andrewsafb71 Kaloth not Daggoth. Clearly he found a way to sustain himself and he even managed to revive Stukov. Kerrigan also managed to sustain her own cerebrate.
UED will never be forgotten
