A Broodwar Challenge

Alrighty, I was trying out random stuff while playing BW both bored and drunk (funny combination that) and came across it. I gotta tell you, though. It is a helluva challenge; drunk or not. I couldn't even get half way before having to cheat the rest of it out.


Anyway, here's how it goes: You start the final zerg level of the broodwar campaign, Omega. Then, at the start, you type in the following cheats:
  • black sheep wall
  • operation cwall
  • show me the money (might have to type this a whole bunch during the game)
Then, you have to try to beat the map using only colonies! You can upgrade as much as you like, but you must only be using either creep, sunken, or spore colonies the whole way through.

If anyone beats it while doing that, I'll give you a cookie! :P


Tip: Start with the 'toss first.

Rush them with drones and build a hatch next to them.

Reavers ain't nothing compared to siege tanks. And nukes are the worst. :><:


I wonder if this is even doable lol. :lol: I did manage to overwhelm the protoss after a while, though.

I bet it's possible. I remember I challenged people to beat BW Zerg #4 in a short amount of time. At first people were like "NOOOO!!! It's impossible!!!", but then Desperado was finally able to own it and showed us an impressive replay as proof.

Only colonies would be very simple.

First, make a crapload of hatcheries in you base, and kill everybuilding exept for evo spawning and queen nest. Upgrade all to hives, then expand and create masses of drones, then hatcheries, send them in waves of 2 at a time, so they dont just blow up completely. build hatcheries, build colonies, boom

The one where Kerrigan is up against the three fleets (Blue Terrans, as well as white and orange Terran/Zerg comps). A lot of people had trouble with it. The challenge from my Doodan campaign also gave them trouble for awhile.

I was just trying to boost morale :P. If I get a free hour or two in the next couple of days I'll give this a whirl.

NudeRaider -- blessed innocent soul knows nothing of the strife we had before EUDs were discovered :teehee:
[2026-6-23. : 3:29 am]
DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings
[2026-6-20. : 6:15 pm]
Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.
[2026-6-20. : 3:47 pm]
NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
