After this mission Kerrigan: There is a new Overmind growing on Char. Executor: By the Gods, is there no end to this Zerg abominations?!

Not the same Overmind though, it's a different one made by Daggoth Cerebrates.

Did the Executor end the Brood War entirely? Congraturation! You're Winner! Roll credits.

At this point, I'm fairly convinced that the reason they DON'T take this approach is because the last time the Overmind was _killed,_ all the Zerg went on a berserk fury rampage. They want to stun them, so instead they do enough damage to give the thing a concussion, but it's still alive enough to have control. Hive Mind Hangover for all the zerg in the area. Killing the Overmind here, assuming this logic is correct, would result in everything nearby going bugshit crazy, resulting in it being impossible to recover the Khalis, meaning the Protoss can no longer use the Xel'naga Temple to cleanse Shakuras.

Wait, I just realized one of the players had access to Dark Templar. Since DTs are used to kill the Overmind proper in 6-8, what prevented the Protoss from just doing that here in 4-6? EDIT - oh right, they didn't want a repeat of Escape From Aiur.

[Tassadar] "Executor, the Overmind has been weakened, but I fear we have sustained severe damage ourselves. I will steer the Gantrithor into a collision course with- wait, where did the Overmind go?"

I always loved the "or kill the overmind" phrase just casually dropped as an alternative objective of this mission.

After "accidentally" destroying the second Overmind... Zeratul: Here's ya 20000 minerals. Tanks for makin it look like an accident. Ya did good, kiddo.

"There are no accidents." - Master Oogway

Overmind: "Hey, uh... buddy? Could you move your foot?"

So... we just needed a bunch of Dragoons standing by in the Overmind's Nest to avoid its resurrection...

Those dragoons can still, how do the Terrans say it? "Throw down with the best of them"!

I have always wondered why they didnt kill the second overmind right there after the overmind is paused. They just forgot dark templar exists now and move on to khalis.

Someone explained that the Protoss remembered the last time they killed the Overmind, the Zerg went absolutely berserk. Shakuras might've ended up being a second Aiur a bit too soon.

I think for in-story purposes, they couldn't. They only had the strenght to inflict "superificial damage" before having to retreat. Regardless of what happens in gameplay. It's like when you kill the first Overmind. Most experienced players will absolutely crush the Zerg and have the Overmind surrounded by carriers and battlecruisers. But as far as the story goes, the Protoss and Terrans were inflicting some damage, but were taking a real beating in the process. Hence Tassadar's sacrifice.

Overmind: "Oooouuhh... My Eye. My mind... Where in the blazes am I... I.. I need to regather my force-" *[Sees Amass Of Protoss Vessels & Units Approaching Through The Zerg]* Overmind: "OH COME ON- JUST LEAVE ME ALOOOONE!!!!"

5:50 Unused dialogues which I never heard before.

Kerrigan: Artanis, you idiot! STOP SIMPING!

Somehow the overmind returned....

Tassadar's sacrifice is all for nothing.

Meanwhile, on StarCraft Alternate… After breaking through the Primals and escaping their wrath, the alliance make it to Aiur where the second Listening Post is. But the shipyard they're headed to is where the new Worldship happens to be. Two courses of action are considered as Duran convinces some of the Nerazim that have joined Tassadar to side with him instead; either they breach the defenses between them and the second Black Box, or deal sufficient damage to the Worldship to disrupt its combat Network long enough to retrieve the Box safely (because they presently lacked the necessary power and intel to just outright destroy it like Mengsk had done, which was a desperation play taking advantage of the fact that his ship wasn't going to last much longer). Either way, the Captain's squadron, the Elite Guard, and Duran's Tribe now with additional Nerazim recruits get to work on accomplishing the mission and retrieving the second Black Box before any Great Fleet can bear down on them as they return to Braxis.

1:34 Tassadar was Artanis teacher. 1:42 Years later till StarCraft 2.

ngl it would have made perfect sense for them to actually kill it right here

Lmao "SHUT UP ARTANIS!" XD

I thought it was already mission successful after defeating the "first" overmind?

When boys accidently end the game, too soon. Good thing they've 2 option in here.

Uh, Artanis? You want the game to transcribe your "Overmind disabled" and "Overmind regenerated" dialogue?

Selendis(?) accidentally causes a time paradox

Eye of the Storm 2: The Gantrithoring. Usually that objective is considered the harder of the two but maybe co-op changes that?

Phew, that was one heavily defended Zerg hive cluster. Those lurkers were a much needed addition for the Zerg. Well played everyone! EDIT: Lol, the ending. I had no idea that was possible.

1:27 So basically Zeratul here is saying that Artanis actually studied tactics, boyyyy! Not only that, his courage and daringness rivals that of Mengsk when it comes to leadership. Simply put, Artanis is both the best of Duke and Mengsk combined.

It probably helps that the Protoss aren't as afraid as Terrans of being outnumbered twenty to one.

When you kill the target the second time so hard it broke the script lol

Strange. I remember if you "kill" the Overmind, the mission will end immediately. Was it changed for this mod or my memories had failed me?

​@@ExecutorNral From what we can gather on both Brood War Zerg campaign and in StarCraft 2, taking control of the Zerg is a manual process, not instantaneous, which may explain the feral broods on Aiur along with a feral brood on the Zergling evolution mission in Heart of the Swarm.

Silly Executor, there is no such things as accidental, we Protoss believe everything happening is a plan set in motions long ago and that we... what do you mean our Dragoon simply just walk straight to the Overmind!

haha , you literally destroyed Overmind :)

1. I though the mission would be over if we destroy the outer shell of overmind. 2. Since Executor nral has red color, does it mean he is a Taldarim?

Ara Tribe, Aldaris' Tribe.

With the available of enemy Lurker units, you should have focus on air power only, wouldn't have to deal with those annoying creatures. The protoss was hilariously brainrot here, they missed the easy opportunity to kill the new Overmind.🤣😂 And Artanis was so cringe here: "not worthy to speak his name"? Tassadar wasn't any highty and mighty attitude, he would be be proud about his next generation learning from him.

As others also mentioned; the last time they killed the Overmind the remaining Zerg on Aiur went berserk. They wouldn't want to risk the same thing happening now that there are Zerg on Shakuras.

Actually, I jumped into game yesterday and did the same that Executor did. It`s was fun. Except my mumbling about zerg Guardians

why is the Ara tribe here? shouldn't they be back on Shakuras with Aldaris, being the good guys?

Ah, the story arc where they tried turning Kerrigan into a slightly sassy anti-hero only to immediately ruin it by the end by turning her into a galactic mary sue. If only the executor put the gantrithor on a collision course with Kerrigan.
