I was also taken aback by the guardian thing lol. I can just imagine how silly it’d be if we could actually acquire zerg guardians. Edit: OH GOD I THOUGHT WE WERE GETTING HERCS, NOT TRYING TO RUN FROM THIS HORRIFYING MONSTER.

Thank goodness Grant didn't wait until the last minute to kill a generator because he completely missed that warning prompt about the Mothership.

I know it isn't what always appeals to the algorithm, but genuinely my favorite GGG content is always the odd one-offs and weird side things. I watch pretty much everything that comes out, but those are my favorites for sure. Glad to hear I'll be getting more of that!

Grant "I want to be able to hit air with nova's Blade" the monkey's paw curls

Captain seems to be the Warhound given the unit portrait. The Herc was a really funny jump scare. It’s good to have Tilat again.For those who don’t know or don’t remember. Tilat is a Purifer. They uses the adept model but their attack is like the void ray for the most part. They have a passive aura to buff mechanical units around them like armor, attack speed, movement speed and life regen. They also have an activated ability to apply a stronger buff to mechanical units for a short time. As for the dialogue, basically Tilat hates the Tal’darim likely from them attacking Glacius. They joins Artanis when he offered for them to come. They don’t trust Alarak. On Steps of the Rite they actually don’t show up on the mission among your other Allies because of this but on the next mission they choose to help this time but not for Alarak’s sake. Also if you go to Slayn first and then Endion, Alarak rushes into the enemy as a scripted event and Tilat laughs at Alarak for having rushed in without much support.

Grant, I don't think it matters what game you play, your commentary is exemplary, and is about 70% of the reason I watch your channels. Keep up the good work, enjoy your vacation, and I look forward to all the upcoming antics.

Wrath Runner sounds like an angry divorcee dad who promised himself he'd get back into shape and goes up for a jog while cursing nonstop.

Nova learnt a lot from the Zerg this time, look at her leaping up and -chewing- slicing apart spaceships

well there's a problem with that logic grant, unlike the game's actual devs mod makers arent restricted in what they want to do nor are time gated as to how long it should take them to finish their mods, so ofcourse it would almost always end up being better quality than the original/base version, because its meant to be an improvement upon it.

Not to mention that RA3 is really old by now, and I wouldn't exactly call the SC2 AI ... good. The mod ones are semi-decent, I guess, but RA3 was developed as a co-op campaign primarily, which you can also play solo. With shitty AI partners. ;)

Nice WrathRunner punk there xD But seriously, Tiat gives Grant energizers to support his liberators squad is just pure devastation. It really pays you nicely to find the secret and successfully escort Tiat ngl. Also that mvp adept in the end is wild.

"Why is Mom so thicc?" That made me produce an audible "WHAT?"

Yo, you seeing this algorithm? This is an excellent video and deserves just as much attention as WoL. And SC2 deserves so much more.

"Fly me closer! I want to hit it with my sword!!!"

I believe that doubling the range of the cone quadruples the aoe size I also appreciate flying nova being a swooping bird with the mono-molecular blade

Tilat is back, yay! Also, Grant completely forgetting the building upgrades is the most expected thing we could expect XD I'm looking forward to see more of this series, especially the final missions

Thanks for the video. Really looking forward to which games you will be playing and I'm glad that you're giving yourself a break before the big planned shenanigans

"She can only hit air!" I'm not sure what you were expecting when you gave a flying unit a melee weapon to be honest.

Enjoyed the gameplay, _Loved_ the announcement :D Good luck to you and all of us, excited to see what's about to come :)

Youre one of the only youtubers that make me smile during their whole video

Yay best girl Tilat is back! Also Nova flying around and slashing capital ships to death with a sword is like something straight out of an anime. And to be fair to Red Alert 3, the campaign was always intended to be played in Coop with a friend. The AI ally is just an afterthought for people who can't or don't want to play with a human partner. But yeah the AI there isn't very good. More often than not I am trying to prevent the AI ally from dying, and when they do attack it is usually in piecemeal attacks against fortified enemy defences that do nothing except give the enemy veterancy.

A holiday?! Who am I supposed to watch over my breakfast each morning if there's no Grant?! For serious though, good on you for planning to take a bit of time to recuperate.

I’m hyped to see these mini series

Have fun on your vacation you really deserve it!

I'm here for Depot Dave's villain arc

I look forward to the random shenanigans you get up to in June, and the vacation is well deserved Grant

I dont know if you ever noticed but 1. You never cloaked your ghosts. 2. With the +2 range upgrade they have 11 range which outranges most detection ranges, so keep em alive in case everything goes to hell you got a reliable back up plan

Anytime i see nova slash a capital ship with the sword i just think what an absolute anime moment. You know one of them anime moments with the sword slash.

1:38 oh no Zeratul flashback

The Algo may not like Variety Grant, but I certainly do! I love hearing your takes on different RTS or RTS-adjacent games! Looking forward to it. (and glad to hear you are making time for some time off, you've certainly earned it)

In the Archipelago mod I put Goliath's in every garrison (with the upgrade that allows them to shoot ground & air at the same time). After that not a single air unit made it too my base and they still did plenty of damage to ground zerg.

Nova has made plenty of friends here. Captain is a really cool ally to have. 10:27 HERC jumpscare! What a welcome surprise for the mission.

Grant we are going to enjoy whatever you do

Love all your content Grant, you are extreamly entertaining and id watch you play pressure washer simulator and still get a chuckle. looking foward to any content you put out :)

I just cant stop imagining Nova jumping up into space to slice a realscale tempest in half now.

Alright, if it is done by the same people who created lotv ai ally mod, then this one is infinitely better since you can make your own base and do more stuff around the map. Also, I can't wait for the "dlc" for the wol ai mod and deke :o

the SC1 floor and wall guns where sick, no lie

NO WAY! Part 2. I just found part one the other night and was curious if there was any chance of a new episode. I'm in luck

Nyoomin' Nova. Woo, collab stuff with friends is always fun.

I can't wait to see what you have in store for this month, I really hope you get to play some Impossible Creatures :D and please take time off if/when you need it! Take care of yourself!

Glad you're able to take a more relaxed month before the big stuff come summer. Will be curious what you'll be checking out during this time. Nova got the real Icarus treatment today, huh. Flying high just so she has further to fall when that mothership rolls in.

R.I.P. spine crawler family 🙏🙏😔😛

To be fairy unlike the AAA studios, mod makers don't have to come up with the AI from scratch while also doing a lot of other things in a limited development window. They can also specialize it a lot more for their purposes because they don't need a general purpose AI that works on any map. Still impressive modding work here.

I feel like Grant will make the next few months amazing

The marines been watching their blue lock

I came to your channel for the StarCraft mod content, but I stay, because you never fail to entertain me.

Carbot Zealot would be proud of Nova. x) Thanks for thz fun with allies! ^^

I'm enjoying this series, but I'm also looking forward to seeing GiantGrantGames game some games.

Woman in skin tight bodysuit flys through the air attacking spaceships with a sword. This is the form all anime eventually arrives at.

Imagine having the real "Guardian" to garrison. Would be the dream xD

Tbh the installation turrets in SC1 were very cool how they actually blended into and functionally were a part of the tile set. Shame nothing like that is in SC2

24:40 more like reverse santa xD ho ho ho ho vs ohho oh oh

Modders being better than triple A studios is commonplace, always was, even back when Valve first rose to becoming a giant. They had ideas for their earlier titles but had troubles making it a reality. Instead of hiring devs who advertised themselves as devs, they just hired modders. Modders are used to not receiving anything for their work, but they have a burning passion for it as a result, it's how we got Counter Strike, it's why L4D2 is still alive, they formed the basis for Half Life 2 and its episodes. Modders are great, I'd take them over most developers any day. They just seem to care a lot more about the quality of their product, and you love to see it. edit: ignored the obvious example; they're literally reviving SC2, keeping current players content and bringing in new players, which does slightly feed the competitive scene as well.

So in regards to that Herc right after those video, I went back and decided it has an HP doesn’t regenerate and there’s an infinite spawn of zero on this mission, namely, hydra and roaches and some mics in the final area and if you use nova cloak to tank you can get some serious DPS going on that guy and kill him

In defense of RA3's co-op AI, it IS 16 year old AI, and the main point of it is to play co-op with a friend. Really though, we need a campaign co-op RTS that's entirely focused on the co-op.

Airborne nova dashing down to hit ground enemies looks absolutely ridiculous

If i had to guess at 28:40 they probably used the Jinara mothership model from Nexus coop and then they

thanks grant !

23:17 Should have gone intercontinental marines, +3 range :D

Nah When the building asked for 3 Guardians i also think of the SC1 flying crab arty of the Zerg, the Guardian.

yeah, the area of aoe doesnt increase in a linear way, so any "active zone" range increase is cuadratic/scales x MAX range, not + ADDED range. That HERC should have a scripted "it just... disapeared" moment, and he just appears out of an explosion in a wall, grappling in. Maybe the map is to small and tight for it, but a catch up after the corridor encounter at 12:56 would make the mission feel more under duress since you can pretty much dash to the end. +5 dmg on an inifity dps faction is pretty nice lol

About the guardian thing, who cares who caught it first, I love that you were instantly ok how to get get three guardians in there, how do I mind control them, where do I get them from ect. You instantly began working on the assignment.

Our favorite purifier wifu is back ^-^

It would be interesting if there was a mod that made all units cheaper and weaker while simultaneously building faster. Essentially, terran becomes zerg or protoss becomes zerg

It's perfectly fine to lose tilat once you aquired her facion, she even has dialogue for it.

We shall call him Mingsk

I agree, the world (i.e. Me) needs chibi Mengsk stickers.

Diverse random things sound great. Also a vacation is very adviseable. As an European with 26 vacation days per year + bank holidays American "work 'till you die" mentality just seems sad.

Well, I didn't think of non-Zerg as Guardians either.

Grant not caring about the algorithm month hell yeah! Also vacation, neat, enjoy :3

I thought that you needed to control guardians with nova and stuff then there 😂 2:25

id really like to see you try something different from the entire RTS genre of games like maybe some elden ring or an episode on you trying terraria with a few friends. just you and your personality is great and id like to watch some other games that you would be willing to play, even if it isent an RTS.

Depo Dave should be an SCV in the last room of the stealth level, but not count as an enemy. (He's just a contractor.)

Will you finish this mod series?

FUCK the algorithm! More GGG that is not a Starcraft 2 mod is what I want!

Yes, relax, take it easy! Also, maybe you could answer this question that's been plaguing me ever since you did the three campaigns at once: how many Games could a Giant Grant game if a Giant Grant could game Games?

Red Alert 3 AI Co-commander? I won't say they are bad, but they are designed with being commanded which I don't want to do. They love to rush you a bit by doing something that will expand map or spawn units to deal with, other times you race objectives against them, when not commanded they will enjoy making small skirmishes using 2 conscript and hammer tank, I just can't trust them half of the time. They will ruin your plans. So in short, I say it was not fully cooked I say.

Death to the algorithm! Long live grant!

Strike! 23:00 : Captain: This area has been cleared! I will set up my base here. 23:24 : Captain: I will try to catch up your progress... 28:25 : Captain: I'm sending out my force now! 29:37 : Captain: Oh hell... a whole fleet is marching toward us!

About the dialogue text at the beginning: isn't it in the chat window? So couldn't you open that for a full scrollable log of everything said? Most of it just flavor, as mentioned, but the ally also seems to occasionally give an overview of what flank or objective they'll be working towards.

I need to see jinara with a six pack stat

What does the L hotkey do on Ghosts? Grant glossed over it on the first video and didn't bring it up in this one. In case anyone needs to locate it, it's in the middle of the command card: between Stop, Hold Fire, EMP and Nuke
