it seems pretty common sense to auto-fail you if you go ahead and softlock yourself, but I don't remember HATCHERY being one of those buildings that counted toward the fail state...since you can definitely make ANOTHER DRONE with 250 minerals to spare. It sounds like Daggoth isn't sad, but a hall monitor that enjoys his job a little too much.
@@Hadgerz I think the reason this happens is because buildings don't actually register as buildings (to the game's trigger system) until they are finished, so the game detects you as having 0 buildings and 0 drones.
As a kid, I remember True Colors was the first mission I gave myself "permission" to use the cheat to skip because Fenix was my favorite character and I couldn't bring myself to do it to him.
34:35 This is a MASTER at his craft. the instant Sean hears the audio queue, his muscle memory takes over his body and he becomes a machine that makes drones. i love seeing him switch instantly into machine mode from caster mode
Sean Plott it is a Joy to hear your voice. Thank you for making these videos. The Day9 dailys really got me into SC2 and I have really enjoyed the context you brought to this style of gaming.
I love old school graphics Kerrigan. In the remaster and SC2 shes all hot with her little dreads. But the OG look is fucking gross and zombie like its so cool
It's funny they elevate him to such a villain in SC2 but throughout SC1 the only notable thing he did was start the dominion and betray kerrigan, after that he just gets his ass pushed in by the UED and kerrigan later, but sc2 INSISTS on him being so evil, competent and manipulative. They don't even have him doing anything interesting, just generic dictator speeches about how awesome his dominion is and how bad the raiders are. It was always weird to me how raynor and mengsk apparently never talked to each other after both getting betrayed by kerrigan, you'd think they would collab to take out their common enemy or something despite their differences.
They did Kerrigan way dirtier. At least with Mengsk, you could argue that his Dominion was still fledgling when the UED came in as an Out Of Context Threat, and by SC2 he had a number of years to consolidate his power. Kerrigan went from Queen Bitch of the Universe to Magical Girl Protagonist who is never held accountable for her atrocities.
All Mengsk wanted was power. I think they displayed him well in SC2, his story at least had an ending. Of course he’d fear Raynor, mengsk was the perfect example of a dictator, throwing away his best assets for short gain, fear of Raynor for being a rebel when mengsk himself obtained power through rebellion. Dictators are often insecure and paranoid. They come to power fast, but collapse everything around them.
You used your last drone to construct a building. I dunno if it's Blizzard code they never figured out or something, but if you do it, the Zerg autodestruct. That old game tip was not just for show, I guess.
nah, pretty sure in multi player, losing all drones won't game over you (automatically). would be interesting to see if other missions behave this way, or if they added this to only this mission as a "gotcha".
Iirc buildings still in construction arent considered actual units, so when you use the few drones it gives you at the start to make buildings, as far as the game is concerned on this mission you have: zero drones zero buildings not enough to make a hatchery So the mission triggers the fail state
@@Tanzklaue It's meant to avoid softlocking if you suicide your 2 drones in to the bunker or something. The trigger only goes if you are yet to control a hatchery and there are 0 drones on the map. Once your first hatchery completes, you can make an extractor and kill your hatch, to only have an extractor, and not game over on that mission.
I wonder why they never updated the mini-map in the Remastered version so that it always updates as often as it can, instead of it alternating between high (updated a couple times per second, notice when the square highlights are animated) and low (updated once every second?) refresh modes.
Pretty sure day9 spent over 5k in reasources building armies, if he just chilled he could have finished the mission in half the time 😂 He said he loves blowing stuff up so all good I guess 🤷♀️
Remember when I first played this mission. Had to take a break for a couple of days because I Couldn’t bring myself to kill Fenix. And when I finally did it, it was while hoping Jim would save the day. And I swore that if I needed to kill Jim I’d just throw the game in the trash haha😅 I was a gentle soul.
@@cameron8779 Maybe I just read it into him but I had the impression that he was once human like Kerrigan. I might be wrong. I guess the campaign isn‘t clear on this.
@@StefanMuller-cf3cy When you do the secret mission with Zeratul and you find the Hybrid, Duran says "I've had many names for millennia" and that he's a "Servant for a much higher power". Look it up, the mission is called "Dark Origin".
He's in stealth mode though. Also, giving him a different portrait also makes him less mysterious in that it reveals more and narrows down future story options.
Oh, based on what Sean says at 21:00 , those units you get are considered allied, so they belong to a different "faction" which has a separate supply counter.
@@michiduta07Well they are, its just that they are mostly the heroic variants: Devouring ones, hunter killers and the torasque. These units dont cost supply
lol its actually funny how Kerrigan throws Tassadars words at Fenix there. but I find it weak that Kerrigan decides to let everyone live, Mengsk, Raynor, Zeratul ... she simply doesnt kill them because "letting you live is torture so thats my revenge". Really? I think it wouldve been better if they actually escaped of their own volition, instead of Kerrigan showing them her twisted kind of "mercy". she's so overpowered in this campaign. nothing compared to her god persona in sc2 though ...
