Hey Guys, sorry if you had issues with my attempts to post this video video yesterday, KZread's creator stuff went down and it was causing a whole host of issues that are fixed now!

A few other creators I follow were also having similar problems at that time.
7:57 "Your lucky no one was killed, Kerrigan." Rip the Marines/Firebats that don't count as Humans in that mission.

Hey just as a heads up, on the spawning pool you have another menu you can open by pressing ‘R’ it gives access to upgrades for the brood queens that you get to choose 1 outta the 3 for each mission. I believe available from the very start of every mission(that gives you a spawning pool)
It’s no “Trains of Liberty”, but it’s aight.

If anything Grant cant read
I have gotten so used to every mod for HoTS making Noktul say "It is Wednesday my BROOD" that when she didn't say it here I was genuinely surprised.
Finally! Since I stumbled into this mod a constant thought of mine has been "Grant needs to play this, this is too good to ignore." Glad the creator is going to receive a lot of well deserved attention out of this because they surely will.

Where do you find the mod?
"I'll be ready next time" Gets irradiated at the same time
Yeah. One thing that the original completely knocked out of the park was sound design. You immediately knew when a storm dropped, you got irradiated, lockdown or a siege tank was ruining someone's day. So adding it to the mod would very much add to readability
10:23 you forgot to check out the "Brood Queen mutations" that the notification was talking about i think you got distracted by the passive kerrigan abilities in the Evolution Chamber i think those should change places, as in put the Kerrigan abilities on the Spawning Pool (where you wouldn't look otherwise) and put the mutations on the Evolution Chamber where they are harder to miss
The way the tarrasque moves looks like it's on roller skates. If the modder put little wheels on its feet, this mod would be perfect.
4:30 This is genuinly the first time i have seen zergling jump be useful outside the evolution mission A few minutes in, this reminds me sort of like Soviet_00's WC3 campaign enchanced He added a bunch of new kinds of units, balances, and raised hero lvl cap to 20, can recommend

There are several missions where they can jump to get money too, but I don’t think actually more than once you can circumvent defenses~
Grant: I just took a lot of damage! 3secs later: Mission ends and he still ends with half the reinforcements.
My only issue is that Zerg version of Moebius Mod should be called Abathur Mod. Beside that, it's exactly what I wanted.
@AvelineMelena

There is actually an Abathur mod. It's called Abathur's Whimsy that changes the units in a funny and/or creative way and adds bonus objectives. It's honestly really good and pretty funny.
Really glad I'm able to watch it now. HOTS is my favorite campaign and seeing a new spin on it is always fun to watch
You look like you have the most ergonomic gaming set up ever. Like, zero back problems. Perfectly straight up, shoulders not scrunched. You're a man who knows how to game.
I'm just so glad to see how happy GGG is to play this mod! I don't have the time to get even close to that good on base game, but I am here to watch the happy chaos!!!
Oh hey. I finished this campaign myself not too long ago. I was literally thinking 'you know, I bet Grant would love this.' Good to see you continuing to have fun, man.
Well now I'm excited to see more of this wonderful mod! I love it when Grant gets has happy as a kid on Christmas it just makes me giddy
I really love Grant's enthusiasm for the cool stuff modders are making and his care for the Starcraft community. Always nice to see and ear such cheerfulness. :) Thanks for the enhanced fun! ^^
This mod is great, i played it before and i never realised the little jump thing you did in the first mission, nice work. I'm glad you are getting all the bonus objectives, i hope you enjoy the mod as much as i did.
I'm super excited to see Grant play through this mod because it has very interesting core concepts, but it also requires a skill level (and APM cap) far beyond my own to play comfortably. The enemy aggression, as seen even on that first macro mission, is beyond nightmare levels. Seeing someone with the skills to macro properly to take advantage of the additional bases while still microing all of the individual unit abilities you get throughout the mod will be a blast.

The way this mod is hard is that it punishes you if you don't play aggressive early. You'd end up with increasingly stronger attack waves and defenses from more enemy bases if you're slow to clear some of them. Grant had trouble here because he started playing defensive after one bad engagement. It's not a bad thing since us viewers get more content to watch.
Giving you cliffjumping and then actually giving you a really useful cliff to jump is such a good start. Excited for your playthrough this one!
I am reminded that the original StarCraft manual had the Queen with the mutalisks glaive worm attack, while the mutalisks had some kind of acid spray.
@micuu1
4 ай бұрын
Yup, as seen in the final cut-scene where they shoot acid around inside the Gantrithor. Also, pour one out for the Defiler's auto-attack
Watching your recent Brood War Deathless with that one mission having the elite units - Now getting to see the elite units get their own campaign dedicated to them.. what a treat.
When the screen is green you can see the greenscreen work on Grant's glasses, from the reflected screen.
I had very little idea what was going on. Saw your name mentioned in another comment section, decided to peek. I've never played Starcraft. I know nothing about it. I was enthralled the entire time anyway. You've got charisma, and a lovely voice. I'm gonna be watching more.

man i really hoped you would play that and you do that even faster then expected. very nice. great mod.
This, like Moebius Mod, looks like its gonna be my preferred way to play when i want a decent challenge and just chill. This looks awesome
I am so exited for this mod. hots is actually one of my favorites and i am over the moon to see another great mod for it. And i will be playing it myself as well.
Oh man just from this episode I can tell this mod is gonna be a banger. Can’t wait to play it myself
I'm impressed that Naktul survived at the end and got to do her happy dance.
The "Jim can't read" comment made me crack up. Well played haha
This looks like a great mod. I'm looking forward to the later missions
I can't recall if I've ever seen Naktul survive one of these busts before. I'm all in for Zerg mods. Live for the Swarm!
Woah, that's a lot going on for mission 2 (3, but the no-build escape was skipped). It seem really neat though, looking forward to Grant playing with this new toolbox in these suped-up HotS missions.
Me: I've seen this before Grant: What do you mean?, Its brand new!
This mod is great, I played a bit of it and I definitely thought that Grant has to showcase this, as for me, the second Kaldir mission broke my back and I couldn't beat it after 5 tries :D
I just finished this Grant, u're gonna have fun with this one haha
Grant gushing like a kid with a new toy Fun mod!
So happy the video works this time!
We need more no-Kerrigan HotS mods. It's the Zerg, for Amon's sake. The entire faction is about *swarm*ing your enemies.
now WAIT this is kinda everything omg
Yes I soo hope you would play this Mod I love playing through it and im interested in seeing how you approach some missions
This mod was really nutty when i played it. I really loved the infested mission personally as i just took my time and massed the new brood lords.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY YOU ACTUALLY PICKED THIS UP OMG I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HOW YOUR PLAYTHROUGH GOES!
Finally. This mod deserves a lot more recognition!

This mod is really cool ! Can't wait to try it out
Good to see a (sort of) Daggoth mod. Always wished I could play as the other cerebrates
Bro, this mod is amazing Can't wait for Trains of Liberty
do love the "fast, for a dwarf" reference
Wow. Pre-accident Brenda? This campaign looks cool!
I'm incredibly hyped for this one.
I have to warn you Grant. This campaign has some mechanics that go "LOL, you loose because you didnt know about that".
I think one of the reasons the aggression is so high is because you are supposed to be aggressive, get out there, and blow up enemy bases where they build attack waves. And in the process acquire more bases to mine from. Crazy I know.
Man this was so fast I could barely keep up, but it was glorious
This is cool as hell!
YEEEEEES!! Been waiting for this! 5:36 Struggle and Conquer. Such is the Zerg way. 25:30 That boi is _schmoovin'._
Grant gushing?!? We watchin good tonight boys.
LET'S GO!!!!! So excited for this!!!!!
Infest command center right out the gate? GLORIOUS!
THIS MOD IS AWESOME!!! I can't wait to play it omg
This mod seems really cool can’t wait to see mega mass muta
I am so glad they got rid of Kerrigan for the build missions. HOTS didn’t feel like a real StarCraft campaign, but rather Sarah’s happy funtime adventure.
4 Devouring Ones instead of 2 regular Zerglings. Looks like the Cracklings returned.
If you got the lets say old queens from SC1 but enhanced, imagine getting the defilers too oh boy defilers with enhanced swarm units would be amazingly strong because of the dark swarm makes the devouring ones even more tanky. And I hope already they make a similar mod for LotV too.
Oh boy, THAT is a cool mod!!!
So much hype and so much fun.
Hope you check out the CNC mod eventually too! It is a bit jank to start but like this mod gives you a lot of tools to work with.
Not gonna lie, but seeing Grants reaction to this is Adorable. And I agree this is one of the best Swarm mods, I think. The Mobeius being wings best oen and Protoss with Ai for legacy
Moebius was great and no kerrigan is great, looking forward to this
In SCI I always put irradiate on patrolling overlords so it killed a lot of stuff while being irradiated.
Fun mod, played it two weeks ago. Exept a few missions it feels much easier even in comparison to brutal. Also tried Evolution mod, that is not complete yet, that was the real nightmare challenge.
Hi there. Little tip for next mission. Destroy the Base. You'll know which one when you see it
I feel like as part of the defense in this mission you need to destroy the buildings the AI ignores to spawn some extra broodlings. One time use for extra units for emergency defense.
Naktul is doin a lil dance at the end
The fortifications in the first mission seem perfect for a psudo-raptorling assault. They make the jump ability more important, but also serve to prevent zergling encirclement and slow down the slaughter. Lots of flanking potential too. Also, do abominations seem weirdly fast to you? The walk looks super funky when they are bunched up with lings. I also wonder if volatile infested are any good. The mod seems absolutely brutal, in the sense that the zerg are unstoppable killing machines, but you are fighting pure Terran tank turtle.
This is just uncanny... i was rewatching Grants old playlists and during Mobius mod i was like "man, this is probably best, most interesting mod out there, shame there isnt more like it" Two days later... BOOM!
You are good to not see torrasque moon walking with that speed
9:35 We just got proof that GGG is actually a robot
Blizzard should be hiring these modders.
Moebius was soooo good. Can’t wait for this
this is crazy i had just watched all of the Mobious Mod like right before this
Ah, so it wasn't a problem with video itself but with KZread, huh. Guess I'll have to play it in background while I'm doing my own things, seeing as I've managed to watch the video before somehow.
playing this mod was cool, but mother of god the first time I laid eyes on the Swarm Lurker.......I never knew I needed it in my life, but now I can never look at swarm hosts the same way again

Oh hey, naktul lived, good for her 😂
I wonder if Grant remembers levels get tougher the later they are played in HotS Nightmare mod.
Its funny i watch this episode yesterday XD
This is basically StarCraft 2 but Daggoth of the Tiamat brood replaced kerrigan.
Moebius but for HotS? Oh HELL YES
A note/feedback, as a viewer who found this randomly: I personally prefer it when the game speed is set to normal, as I assume that you've upped the game speed, with this being the reason why everything moves and attacks so quickly
