There are a couple of interesting things about this map mechanically, one of them being that Black produces units non-stop, as much as his mining rates and number of factories allow him to. I was going for a map where you have to use Zerg units' mobility to create opportunities, and I think I kinda succeeded in that, since the best way to win it is to abuse hydra speed and chip away at each corner without taking losses.
I was surprised at the new cost of hydralisks and creep colonies, so I started with zerglings. I did not immediately understand that colonies can be placed anywhere, and not only on creep. (I saw the tip) It seems to me that I will try to complete each mission several times.
This is the big GRANDdaddy of all the missions I've been making for this project. It was the one that started the whole ball rolling back in July '2018. While it wasn't tame to begin with, with the new (at the time) AI Scripts it has become a veritable Ultra-Violence fest in a 3-way melee between yourself, the feral Garm brood, and the four Overmind-loyalist broods. Combined casualties are usually in the thousands (up to 5000) as the two zerg forces are attacking each other with a vengeance. Playing it may become either frustrating or mighty fun.
BTW the right hand part of the campaign splash screen above refers mostly to the events of this mission where you might field marines and hydralisks side-by-side.
Excellent, that does it for my project (so far...) There are many things borne out of this testing run, and many changes to be made. Thanks Alexander! I recommend that everyone let him go over their campaigns/mods, maybe you'll learn things about them you haven't had known.

They were really quite insane originally, when I had them at slightly more HP and with the original Hunter Killer armor - but now, at 0 armor and reasonably burstable HP, they can be killed really quickly under focus fire.
Oh_Man shouted: yeah i'm tryin to go through all the greatest hits and get the runs up on youtube so my senile ass can appreciate them more readily
You should do my Delirus map too; it's a little cocky to say but I still think it's actually just a good game lol

Ultraviolet -- Goons were functioning like stalkers, I think a valk was made into a banshee, all sorts of cool shit

Ultraviolet -- Oh wait, no I saw something else. It was more melee style, and guys were doing warpgate shit and morphing lings into banelings (Infested terran graphics)
