In the Char decade since the end of Feral Guards Conflict, the Zerg Swarm has been controlling most of the known Koprulu sector territories, being uncontested in it's position as the
most powerful Zerg faction at this part of the galaxy.
All of that changed four Char days ago, when a large fleet of unknown alien vessels, not organic in nature, emerged from warp-space and decimated all primary hive clusters on Zerg
world of Chau'Sara. No survivors were reported.
The Overmind, suspecting that next target of alien ships will be Mar'Sara, has sent you - one of his youngest Cerebrates - to intervene. It will be up to you to prepare small Brood of
this world to protect them and the Swarm itself from the mysterious enemy.Project HistoryProject history
In the year of 2013 mapmaker StratosTygo released a campaign called StarCraft Alternate. It's main theme was swappng all three races of StarCraft story-wise, while keeping general storyline and original missions themselves mostly the same. StarCraft Alternate covered all three Classic campaigns - Rebel Yell, Overmind and The Fall, but didn't touch any part Expansion.
The Brood War Alternate project, once started as just an "add expansion campaigns to the SCA" plan, is up to both improving all aspects of what is already done and expanding the story further, into episodes 4-6 and, some day, beyond.
Features:
- Remastered-compatible: Explore the campaign in wide or square resolution, in HD or SD graphics, with or without customized hotkeys - any tool Starcraft Remastered has to offer is at your disposal, thanks to mod being specifically designed to work on SCR.
- Advanced storytelling: Green text interludes, briefing location description - almost same as in the original campaigns.
- A new look at the same maps: Re-experience classic missions we all know, but under angle of different races, different characters and, as such, different gameplay.
- Know your enemy: The AI is customized and improved to represent personalities and tactics of various Executors, Cerebrates, Captains and other commanders player can face throughout the story
- A long story: Being based on Blizzard campaigns, Alternate covers almost the same amount of episodes as original does, suggesting the player 46 (and more in future) missions to overcome.

Weird they were broken when I checked earlier. They work now though. It looks good.
None.
Today's update brings several fixes for Renegade Roar mission AI's, listed below:
- Zerg 09: Terran AI uses more frequient attack waves, improved consistency with other Blue Confederate scripts. Ending cutscene improved.
- Zerg 10: Red Zerg AI now uses much bigger attack waves, improved consistency with other Red Swarm scripts.
- Fixed issue with Spore Cannon not being able to fire unless hit directly.

Today's update brings fix for an issue which caused crash on Zerg 04 and - in theory - even more improves Spore Cannon behaviour. There are also several AI updates, which are listed below:

I really should do a recording for this, for some reason I never did that when I made the original vanilla campaign.
For some reason to Exe file doesn't want to launch. I haven't played any mods for the remaster so, maybe i'm doing something wrong?

I will look into it this night, in the meantime u can try putting exe closer to R install, ensure R is last version and check if R launches w/o mod (if it does, may help to log into bnet accout from within the game).

Today's update brings... Quite various things, actually. Not as lot as "The Lord of Fire" yet, but the "released" doesn't mean "perfect". Changes are listed below:
- Zerg 02: Added short cutscene when the Purpule base is approached.
- Zerg 09: Fixed a bug when player could have been defeated during victory cinematic.
- Zerg 10: Another and final fix for Spore Cannon behaviour.
- Protoss 07: AI difficulty decreased.
- xTerran 07: AI cities now have different coloring (consistent with Confederate color scheme).
- xZerg 01: Starting units replaced with faction-specific counterparts.
- xZerg 03: Starting Zerglings replaced with faction-specific counterparts.
- xZerg 04: Starting Zerglings replaced with faction-specific counterparts.
- xZerg 07: Improved behaviour of second part invasion waves.
- xZerg 08: Part of starting Zerglings replaced with faction-specific counterparts.

That is a bit quick for today's update - usually i would wait for more changes to come into my mind - but it has one very important addition. It, along with the rest of update, is listed below:
- Protoss 07: Secondary Orange bases now activate earlier.
- Protoss 09: Yellow bases will now activate by themselves after some time. West Yellow base color altered (Confederate color table is appliable). Fixed bug with transmission having non-existant sound file.
- Protoss 10: East Teal base color altered (Confederate color table is appliable).
- xTerran 01: Final cutscene improved, fixed Raynor unit stats.
- Global: Raszagal now will not identify player as "Executor" or "faithful servant".
- Global: Elite Wraith squadrons now can be identified by custom visual appearance.

More visual stuff and more AI altering in today's update. Also, slowly but surely, moving to The Lord of Fire - only 3 (and half) maps left to develop. This campaign will be the place where i deviated from Blizzard designs the most, but then again, anything which makes stuff better is good.
At any rate, here is the list of changes:
- Global: Immortals renamed and can now be identified by custom visual appearance.
- Global: Allied forces colors altered in The Steel Claw.
- Terran 01: Improved AI difficulty
- Terran 03: Improved AI difficulty
- xZerg 02: Fixed bug with transmissions about reinfocements not being played in a correct order.
- xZerg 03: Improved AI difficulty (as if there wasn't enough already...)
- xZerg 05B: Improved AI difficulty, fixed bug with red AI rebuilding units from intro.

Hotfix for lastest update just uploaded:
- Gloabl: Fixed Immortal's rude behaviour
- Protoss 02: Slightly changed start conditions for player
Humanity first. No matter the cost.
Today's small update is primarally to provide mod with compatibility for newest SCR version. Hovewer, there are several additional changes to pervious campaign.
- Global: Mod updated for compatibility for last game version.
- Terran 9: Improved White AI.
- Protoss 08: Transmission from attack squad now pings it's launch position.
There is a known issue with first usage of Spawn Broodling causing game to freeze for several seconds - it is a vanilla problem and cannot be fixed with my resources. There might be additional issues caused by lastest update's changes, which are in reality much more interesting than pathnote mentiones. Reports on such issues, if you encounter them, would be much appreciated.
No Lord of Fire just yet, but here's small teaser for you:
