​@@FurrySheep9000I made this comment month ago and it's 2hours long video. Ain't no way I remember that bud 😂

46:32 OK, this interaction made me actually lol M Grant: - 110 seconds on the BC geez SCV: -Wohoo, overtime!...

Grant "we don't have to kill them, we just need to scare them" The Game "Ah! you scared me!"

Probably the coolest part is that the Archipelago randomizer system is built to be a multiworld randomizer, SC2 is just one of the games it supports, and they can be combined into one randomized world. So not only do you have this super cool randomizer, but you can even play it with other people playing other SC2 campaigns, or different games altogether. So performing these objectives could, for instance, send a weapon to Dark Souls 3, or bombs to a Zelda game, and in turn they can send you items too for picking up an item, fighting a boss, or opening a chest. No other RTS games are as yet supported unless you count Factorio, I guess, but the list grows all the time. It's great for if you have no friends that play SC2 but they do play other games, hah.

@@scrapbotcommander It was very lucky break that Starcraft 2 was able. The issue with archipelago is that there has to be a way for an outside program to interact with the game. A lot of times this is difficult, but Starcraft 2 had the lucky break in that Blizzard released API libraries for AI research which is what was used for AlphaZero. Those libraries were used to communicate with the game and handle all the background stuff needed for Archipelago to run.

Oh my god it's jank to hell and back. All nice upgrades... for a different campaign.

@@TheCuriousFan1 Like in Maw of the Void, all he had to do to get everything was just to sit there and Yamato the Mothership once it came into range, then just wait until it came back into range no matter how long it took. He also did not use the shield ability nearly as often as he should have, especially when he was getting hit with psi storms. Granted, it likely would have taken another 20mins to do it that way, but it would have guaranteed full victory, and less damage. But fatigue is one hell of an enemy, and it would have made other missions even harder to play.

One of the best parts about randomizers (imo) is seeing what you get to unlock. I really like how you cut out the boring parts but please leave the unlocks in.

I am very excited to watch a solid 7128 seconds of Grant does Games 1:32:20 Also, the best way to describe a signifier is a High Templar with permanent cloaking, and a psi-storm that reduces the target’s armour

"That's fun." "Oh, really?"

what happened with the shadowfury herc is that SCV's & medics can heal from inside of the herc (& marines can stim in a bunker), so units inside of the herc are coded to be able to cast their spells as long as they dont need to be targeted by the player. when they coded that interaction for the herc the DT didnt have shadowfury yet; they didn't code an exception for the two interactions. they (IIRC) have fixed it but arphipelago apparently uses the old herc code

So many things to love about this video: - WoL archipelago was one of my favorite runs of yours, and now there's a full game version! yay! - the warp prisms raving in Maw of the Void - Shadow Fury Hercules - the OMBUDSMAN throwback at 1:32:39

He probably ignored it partly from information overload and partly from habit, he doesn't like to use hive mind emulator because it trivializes most zerg maps. he could have smashed through the viking mission if he had aggressively set hive minds near the settlements and grabbed the spawns over and over.

I sure hope nothing goes wrong

@HurremDurrem

Me too

I've been going through all-campaign archipelago randomizers lately too, such an incredibly fun way to play. In the early game you're carefully picking and choosing any mission you think you can complete with your current units or sometimes you're so desperate that you're willing to go into a mission you know you can't win just to grab some bonus objectives to unlock some stuff before you lose. Then in the late game you're crazy OP with everything so you get to really mix and match cool combinations of units and explore beating missions with units you usually wouldn't have at that part of the game

>Shadow Fury Hercules Well.. I think we know what the Hercules is going to do in Memes of Liberty

Game: You unlocked vehicle weapons upgrade level 1. Congratulations!! Mr. Games: Alright! It's mech time! We've already unlocked the cyclone. Cyclone Lockon damage: Spell type. Not affected by upgrades. (At least I think it's that version.)

8:50 It's fine, Grant. It's Archipelago, so I don't doubt the randomiser will happily frontload you with every fire-related thing it can throw at you.

My only disappointment with the vod (and its more myself for not having patience in retrospect) is that in my eagerness to consume more Grant content, i watched the vod on twitch like 2 weeks ago.

46:10 Grant: "That's fun" BC: *"Oh, really?"* I just can't 😂😂💀

Co-Op Archipelago would be a hell of an adventure.

Holy shit, I didn't know Archipelago had the trilogy in the system.

With all the disclaimers, I was expecting this to be a slog of restarts and Grant being super pissed. Brother, you gotta believe in yourself more! The video was fine, and fun to watch.

Thank you Grant for editing these together. I already watched the vods but will check this out as well

Happy to see the Archipelago mod return - Grant getting trolled by fire units, fire units and more fire units across the start of the original mod showcase is easily one of my favourite moments (well more like an entire arc than a moment really) across all of Grant's uploaded playthroughs so far.

I greatly enjoyed this series of streams, I'm very happy to see the VODs saved

Thanks for publishing and editing the VOD Grant! Also, thanks for unedited version! Quite the adventure you got!

Thank you for posting this as someone who just doesn’t enjoy watching livestreams

Ah man my friend and I have been begging for this -- We loved archipelago WoL. Thank you so much

Thanks for your videos and all the good vibes you put out. Your videos always come out shortly after I get off work and have become part of my nightly relaxing and decompressing before bed.

I've been running this challenge myself right now and would love to see what happens to Grant - let's go! (comments later) 9:40 Yes there's options for extra (multiplayer, NPC) units/BW units and if enabled you can find them. There's also waaaay more upgrades for units than you think. Also also, in addition to units upgrades include: Kerrigan abilities, Kerry levels, Primal Kerry, Spear of Adun abilities/passives, Nova weapons/Abilities/equipment. 15:52 You did ask for *a* unit... 25:10 Some of things you can find are lower resource costs for units and starting resources. 35:40 She has full HP/energy! Mengsk was right - she's completely untrustworthy. 52:20 What an amazing bug - even the adjutant wants to troll Grant! 59:14 That's the line for when the Mothership spawns. It's a line that no one's ever heard because it happens in a cutscene but you're hearing it because cutscenes are disabled. 1:08:05 ROFL 🤣 Did they SF from *inside* the herc?! 1:17:30 It depends on what option you selected upon generating the run. Upgrades can be individual, bundled by unit type, bundled by upgrade type, or bundled all in one (all base stats of all units of a race are upgraded by one level).

These videos are legit so good Grant! Big fan of this format!!

This is good. I enjoyed it live time to enjoy it again.

I really enjoy the format of this video.

i have been waiting for this to come out, i can't wait to see the next bits

Oh baby, ive been waiting for this one

Archipelago has an issue, it gets less interesting the further you progress since eventually it becomes just normal missions.

The final rip-field generator (and the 2nd to last one) have no detection near them once those 3 canons north are cleared. They can be taken with DT with 0 danger. The central generator (which is usually camped by 2 carriers) can also be taken by DTs without issue.

Too far into a long stream to realize at the time, but every three cyclones on the last mission could have been one BC, which while it sucks without upgrades, at least has the benefit of not being able to be hit by the brood lords. BC/banshee was always the best way to get that mission done.

Please upload the perpetual randomizer. It is very interesting and enjoyable AND funny !

Nah, Shadow Fury Hercules is perfectly lore accurate.

when grant mentions tank on train mission is a meme during my randomizer run i had the Draken laser drill that made it a meme the trains would not even exit the tunnel lmao

That Hercules

Part 1, 2h 😂 thank you Grant !

Iirc the Cyclone's Lock On behaves like Widow Mines - only one Cyclone will Lock On to a particular enemy, unless you manually order the rest to target that same enemy. In any case, thanks Grant for uploading these. Always wanted to try the Archipelago randomiser, but could never figure out how to get it to work.

Grant styled on that cannon at 1:02:20

I know you worry about it, but watching you power through to a glorious eventual victory was fun as hell. Hope you're having a nice holiday(?)! :)

Mr Games, Archipelago is a lot of fun!

I think Grant should flex Archipelago more. Maybe play simultaneously with Jay or someone, try to help each other beat their respective randomized campaigns!

I feel like...and I understand Grant played for along time and was tired and probably forgot, but during Haven's Fall... wouldnt it have been easier to mass Marine and stutter step? Even without upgrades and stim, a massive ball of marines can mow down alot. Could even pair them with Tanks/Warhound/Cyclone

1:43:39 we just have to scare them. AH you scared me

Ah yes, I love seeing my favourite content creator slowly losing his sanity 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Can't help but wonder if this last mission wouldn't have been about a million times easier if Grant stuck with his BC guns. Bad as the BC is, I think the cyclone is worse as a front-line unit. At least the BC has good anti-muta guns and immunity to brood lords.

the banshee didnt fall out of use in multiplayer bc Blizzard balanced them to no longer be instantly game-ending, they fell off because they added the Liberator to the game which is way better at what the banshee does, does it safely with nearly or more than twice the range, costs about the same AND can be reactored edit: oh yeah and it has an AA attack. its not useful, but its interesting to note that the tech lab banshee was decided to be too strong & any amount of them must be hard-countered by a single AA fly, but the far superior reactor liberator which can't be countered by ground units at all must also be able to win some air fights. just to give an idea of how Blizzard feels about race balancing (they dont)

I played it myself and it is amazing

5 broods killing like 60supply is not something I thought I'd see.

I haven't even fucking caught up to the WoL one oh god.

havens fall focusing hivemind emulators is actually really fun you build like 5 emulators at each settlement then just hang around as you build an army of zerg

With 85 missions, the empty slot should have been where the player starts, with a choice, instead of no choice at all.

Wow Hercules imba

I've never seen you use those DTs you get for home base defense. A handful left over there would kill any drops.

I jad a idea for haven. We could build hivemind emulator on the colonies before zerg comes to infest it. Like that we could still a bunch of zerg air every turn.
