What is it ?

I deeply believe that StarCraft 1 campaign is the best RTS campaign ever made, I decided to make the experience re-enjoyable for veteran players for who, StarCraft campaign has become too easy.

Why ? What about the other remakes ?

There are of course, other remakes aiming to make the campaign harder, there was StarCraft insane (but I didn't like it, I even suspect some maps to be simply undoable) and StarCraft hardmode (Which truly was an amazing work, but it deviated too much from the original campaign in my opinion).

Briefly said, I wanted to make my own remake. :)

For who ?

For people who truly love StarCraft 1 campaign, but to whom its difficulty is not thrilling anymore.

What has been done ? What more to be made ?

I did the first 3 episodes, Rebel Yell, Overmind & the Fall. I want to do the 3 remaining episodes & I'm working on it.
I don't deserve much credits, it's not much work actually (basically adding scripted waves, static defenses, new enemy players, starting techs for the enemy & testing the map), I'm satisfied if my maps are not "easy", but not absurdly undoable either.
Also, I tried to respect the introduction of the different units in the campaign (I didn't put enemy Ultralisks in the first mission for exemple) as if Blizzard made its campaign, but for masochistic players.

More harder version of SC? I'll take it gladly! Since it's work on progress I'll be able to test it next year in January, you might finish some episodes by then, currently my hands are busy with Hard Mode Brood War.
Wanted to take a brief look but link is invalid.

Yea, I don't know what happened, I'm trying to upload it another way since the file is too big to be hosted directly in a message.
Here you go: https://mega.nz/file/U6UlzaiD#5JHJczk0wD0iMwvkHqrggrvG2PJ0DgAq5d3uQiaw4Mk

I myself am very busy, so I won't work on my SC maps very often. :P

Okay, I've done the whole SC 1 campaign but harder, I might be working on BW soon. I shared a download link in the first post. I hope this will please some fans. Don't hesitate to tell me if some maps need a complete reworking, if they are too cheap or too easy.

Enjoy. :)

NimoStar -- ban the bot :))

Oh_Man -- Like it doesnt even bother to build a comsat unless it sees a lurker or dt, etc
[05:15 am]
Oh_Man -- Hope that makes sense. Also artosiscast just dropped a 1 hour vid he analayses a bunch of its games. The TLDR is the maphack is responsible for a large percentage of its wins because its just hard countering zerg rushes
[05:14 am]
Oh_Man -- It's EMULATING the behaviour of a control group select and move without having the actual functionality to do that
[05:13 am]
Oh_Man -- Vrael
Vrael shouted: yeah but it looks like pluto's eAPM is still 6000 based on issuing all those orders
k the APM is inflated because it issues 12 identical orders individually. Its not 12 unique orders
[03:02 am]
Vrael -- which does reduce down to the same tradeoff I mentioned below, aka trading APM for time, but still interesting
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- and while the reaver was reloading it used that time to aggregate enough marine/tank to fend it off
[03:01 am]
Vrael -- like its micro vs one of the in-base reaver drops was pretty insane, basically it made the reaver spend 1 scarab per unit instead of 1 scarab for many workers/units
[02:58 am]
Vrael -- all the stuff I've said below is based on the actual gameplay vs some strong human performers, seems like the bot just has unfair advantages, but its also doing some cool stuff
[02:57 am]
Vrael -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
I mean human brains trained the bot too, its not completely infeasible for the bot to actually be strong in certain scenarios
