Fun fact - Supplicants have probably the best HP to cost ratio. Yes, their attack is garbage, but the amount of HP they have is insane, especially with upgrades. 225 hp with 2 armor for just 75 minerals is a bargain. They're the best tank you can ask for, they're better than archons for the frontline, they're better than roaches, better than zealots, better than basically any unit you can imagine that's a tank. Like legit they're busted OP if you combine them with pretty much any long range damage dealer, say your reavers or vanguards or even anihilators, bc nothing can touch your backline while you have them at the front acting like a meatshield.
@@miza6Ironically, because their dps is so bad, I imagine mass supplicant would die pretty fast, because your opponents units don’t die and can thus keep attacking. Like the WOL atk vs hp research; the atk actually gives more survivability because it kills everything faster and dead things don’t attack.

@@gladiater56 The reason they sold endless shrimp is because a Thai shrimp conglomerate bought them, and they only saw the value in expanding their shrimp imports to the US, not running a profitable restaurant.
The signifier is in fact voiced by Subsourian. Also last episode Grant said he's never heard of that unit, when they were featured in real scale (with a different model and abilities)
Yeah the Signifier exists in the editor as a mostly complete unit (was going to be the Nerazim HT option when HTs/Archons were their own tier) with abilities but its model and voice is just the normal HT. The archipeligo team was going to include it just as it was and I got irrationally nitpicky so I commissioned the wonderful Enoki to make that model and portrait and did some Nerazim-related voicing. As Grant says, not Blizzard quality in terms of the voice and effects but I'm happy with how it turned out.
I finally remembered what this mod reminded me - competition mode in Red Alert 3: Uprising, where you unlock units from every faction with every completed mission
The Carrier mission was actually bullshit. It's literally 'cheese or die.' If you had Dark Archons, they are going to make this a cakewalk though. Which is the problem, *_if._* 46:47 Spite is one hell of a performance enhancer. 47:22 Compensation for the Carrier mission.
I agree too, that mission really brings back the feeling of maw of the void, where it just so sloww if you intend to max out and don't know how to cheese
Archipelago is great, got a run with 'very random' setting where they are not really sure if you will be able to complete the missions. Ended up in LotV with Phoenixes on the Sentry mission, summing up, Probes can be a good attack unit versus cannons and pylons with Shield Overcharge (Lost all Sentries due to them moving to heal Phoenixes). And the same strategy worked better than you'd think on Hamburger of Oblivion, where I literally had no combat units. Consider this my vote to do another run with more chaotic settings enabled.
Supplicants are literally meatbag zealots, but the good thing about them is they do not charge to the front and die. They can still provide a good tank line for the busted mech composition availabled AND can be replaced at a reasonable price
Yeah I played archipelago too and was forced into a gas heavt army of dragoons, high templar and supplicants Most early missions do not have the gas for such armies. But like you say, supplicants were excellent frontline units in this case
46:47 Spite is quite the powerful weapon. And that weapon allowed him to beat the Carrier mission with just Instigators. 47:22 And his reward for the effort is The Dig but made super easy with incredibly powerful Siege Tanks, Warhounds, Cyclones, Widow Mines, and the Jackson's Revenge. 1:19:16 Hydra Infested Siege Tank Defiler Brutalisk is not an army comp I'd ever imagine I'd see, but it sure is a pretty good one. 1:23:00 We all are Reforged fans! We love Reforged! Reforged is good!
I chose the archipelago setting that gave me the spear of adun on every mission and I have to say, it is a lot of fun calling down giant lasers in no-build missions, using mass recall for zerg units, and chrono surging out siege tanks
Consume being the Defiler's best skill over the Dark Swarm is so spot on. It's what makes the "Shepard Zerg(목동 저그)" so formidable against SC1 Terran, and by proxy it also makes zergling arguably the strongest unit in the faction's arsenal from SC1 all the way to the endgame, mineral per mineral and supply per supply. Imagine what would have happened if High Templars could cannibalize a whole Zealot and instantly gain 200 (equivalent for four zerglings) energy. The whole map would have looked like that one lake in Venezuela.
Your comments during the dig bring up my favorite easy fix for the Archon: +2 shield armor. Or an inherent +1 and then an upgrade for ++1/+2 more (ultra plating but for Archon shields). Their "main" role is supposed to be a tank, but their 350 HP has no inherent armor value (unlike marauders, thors, ultralisks, even roaches and zealots). It makes them feel too glassy. Which, on top of their short range, huge physical collision model, and kinda-crap pathing, turns them into a terrible unit. Some of the pathing/size issues have been addressed in ladder. But their lack of bulk remains an issue.
I feel bad for the guy who said "Game over", I didn't even know that could be considered offensive. I'd understand seeing it as banter but not something hateful. I'm not American though so I'm probably missing something.
Ehhhhh it really is the most tame thing there is. Kinda on par with "You lost" or "Loser" which can be both factual statements and a disparagement depending on the way it is said. Personally I doubt that guy meant it as an insult what-so-ever, but Grant took it that way due to the way meaning can be lost over text.
@@Fitzkrieg I heard it as more of a "Welp, I guess he lost" rather than anything else, but Grant hadn't quite given up yet and knew he could possibly still win, so he made a bit out of it.
the only archons i really tend to make are the co-op versions, the one that keeps the high templar abilities on a much more durable body and the dark archon with its own ridiculous set of abilities
Those Widow Mines were only so effective because the Protoss had literally no detection. The enemies in Nova Covert Ops of course tend to go extremely aggressive with detection.
My run of Hand of Darkness was similar, just frenzy hydralisks and aberrations. Made it through via the power of spawn baneling and brutalisks, but I still don't have a single mineral dump unit for any of the races XD
On the Carrier mission you should have gone Reavers the high burst damage from them at the edges of platforms would have incalidated most of the defences.
Have you heard of Age of Mythology Retold coming out on September 4? Seems like something you would be excited about grant based on that 3:33:33 long video you made
I'm a little rusty. Does shift-blink not work anymore? I remember that Husky made a short tutorial back in the day on how to shift blink (reliably get all stalkers to blink from one place to another).
Just got to say, you really lucked out not getting Essence of Eternity because god that mission got buffed in this, the enemies have their full stats and will use abilities a fair amount of the time. Artanis gets completely busted first wave if you don't have decent support down there.
I tried to get archipelago running but it was too complicated, do you think you might be able to do a video guide on how to install mods that don’t use the CCM?
@@phaneros yeah i asked in the discord and someone was nice to give me the links, i saw no download button and i guess you have to sign up, currently debating if i want to do so if its even worth it
@@Venkintus There shouldn't be a signup required anywhere, I'm not sure what download button you're looking for. Downloading archipelago comes from the Archipelago github releases page, downloading maps is done within the client, starting a world doesn't involve downloading anything.
The randomizer is actually logically set so that it will not give you an impossible to complete run. For instance, you will be guaranteed to get some form of anti air before any missions that require it. However you can turn that off in the settings if you really want to go full random.
@@RebelZhouYuWu so would you get the right skills for the mission or is that an invalid no build mission for the purpuses of the randomiser? Or is the map modified so you don't need those skills to reach the bonus objectives?
I might be wrong, but I don’t recall seeing Supernova in the vods, but the mission select shows it as completed. So it does seem some missions may be skipped completely if grant thinks it was too uninteresting.

there was one meta where archons were strong: the infamous Archon Toilet with the Mothership. Thank god that's over.
They were only even good then because they were the only AOE option available.
Ah yes, Grant loosing his sanity again!
Imagine if the bonus objective he gave up on in one of the harder missions has his zerglings.

I hope the Spear of Adun abilities continue to get added on like this, so by the end game we have the telephone pole of Adun.

On the Carrier mission you should have gone Reavers the high burst damage from them at the edges of platforms would have incalidated most of the defences.
When he said he didn’t have the energy for both I felt that. And then I realized he meant spear of Adan energy and not mental capacity.
"See, we're fine"

It was cool to see some Defiler action, not every day that you can see these wiggly bastards :D
I did Gates of hell super early in my run, I failed twice, on my 3rd attempt I unsieged the starting tanks and the mission was easy.
Oh no, is it time for another flipperfish testfun
20 range siege tanks.... I'm in heaven right now...
Shoot gun from far truly is the end all be all of warfare. Zerg, Protoss or Terran doesn't matter.
