These Units Are INSANE! - The Enhanced Swarm Mod - 01

hello my friends today we are going to be starting a mod that I well it is incredibly popular in the modding project section of the custom campaign manager Discord with over 10,000 messages it is one of the most disgusted things that I have ever seen this is the enhanced swarm mod for Heart of the Swarm which claims that it is inspired by mods such as Mobius mod and applying that to nightmare difficulty heart of the swarm which is something I'm very interested in seeing Mobius is one of the most popular mods we have ever seen incredibly incredibly fun makes fantastic use of nightmare as a base to bring in some very powerful stuff in a very fun way and seeing this in Heart of the Swarm and with no carrian is very exciting to me so let's see oh yeah this is never changed uh this shouldn't be changed either I don't think this is of those funny mods that changes stuff this is oh hello um we we start with a lot of stuff here are those speed Lings or Raptor Lings cre zings I'm pretty sure that we just don't have cutcenes in this one oh hello new intelligence received it looks like we are doing a little bit of mobus modding already destroy zerglings in their welcome to the enhanced SW mod this mod replaces all of the default Zerg strains with enhanced ones possessing new abilities as well as adding new bonus objectives to certain missions like the ones that give you a way to further enhance the Swarm furthermore this mod incorporates AI changes from Nightmare as well as some map changes I wanted to make to add to the experience good luck and have fun from ameth Mod also uses a fixed planet order Char will not be accessible until zerus is complete and Sky gear is not accessible until Rainer is freed interesting o does that does that mean that they're going to make uh warfield's Fortress like super good I was just talking about this the other day that's very exciting to me all right this is uh this is good then I am looking forward to seeing exactly what we have going on with this mod we already have an objective to find an unusual Zerg samples which is good and I'm I'm seeing we have overseers available kazula warning cassula mutations are not automatically given by the Leviathan or some on some missions due to an unknown bug okay that's just a warning for future things good to know we have tough for Zergling oh these are devouring ones with plus two base armor and armor is half as effective against their attacks oh okay are we just making devouring ones we are do they come out one at a time or are they devouring twos they're devouring fours all right let's uh let's go see how tough this mod really is because this seems very very very strong to begin with I don't actually know how hard this mod is going to be I just know that it uses nightmare as a base cleansing commences in 11 minutes and 14 seconds oh some sandbags look at that very fancy but these devouring ones feel incredible of course we are going to be doing the first three missions today as always for the start of Heart of the Swarm the start of the Swarm o oh we can build always worth trying this is the first time I've ever seen someone allow us to actually build in this mod on the floor and yeah there's a thing over there whoa look at these defenses okay yeah things are getting a little bit spicier I have a feeling just looking at the fact that all this stuff has been modded that this is going to be significantly more difficult in the later stages than it is right now there's no way that people add this many extra things onto a nightmare base and have it be easy you know but oh hey speaking of a nightmare base oh just bring you over here wait I didn't know that was a thing is that in the base game I don't think I've ever canel the Hatchery before man I love this Mission there's so many random voice lines in it that's so good all right we're going to get this tip enhanced crawler regeneration obtained all crawlers now regenerate life twice as fast I'm going to have a hard time remembering all these upgrades that we got can we jump up here hey hey what a cool little dude dude okay I'm impressed already by my own observational skill no by the fact that they added uh they added a little lip here that we could jump up yo this is good map design already like that made me feel good as a player I I'm sorry I know that I'm gushing a lot already but like this is very interesting to me the fact that I'm already on the first Mission being really impressed with the design usually with most mods we have to go through like the first four or five missions before anything truly spicy happens but uh or maybe at least get off of the first planet and this one is already like oh this uh mod maker obviously is thinking things through quite a biton they are asking me to take a lot of bases as well so I'm going to do that this reminds me a lot of that uh basic design phos to be brood War right brood War Zerg loves putting bases everywhere and we're going to do exactly that I hope that that continues throughout the entire mod I love these fortifications I just I this is another thing that I hope sticks out through the entire mod is just sandbags and Depot and stuff in really annoying locations that the Zerg have to use wave after wave after wave to beat through because that sort of stuff is always really fun like it feels it feels good to bust players when they are turtling like that little turtle newbies mutation button we ran out of almost everything we're going to have to just keep making guys as fast as we can man we have been really hitting it out of the park with mods recently haven't we like the fact that I don't know why this tickles me so much it's very very simple but nobody had to make it and they chose to and it's beautiful as a result just small stuff like that where you were rewarded for looking around trying to figure out various different ways that you can approach things try to deal with what would have been a really tough obstacle but instead we just circumvented the entire thing it feels good in fact what we could have done is use this drop Overlord that we have like and we could have gone over and go taken this base like that's a lot of different stuff that we can do on mission number one where we're making only zerglings I maybe I'm overthinking things here but like this is always what says good things in my mind about mod makers is when they pay attention to the small details on throwaway missions because if labrat is a mission they care about then the good missions are going to be amazing overlord's unable to leave the containment cell that is fine I don't care going to burn through all of this these devouring ones are amazing though I don't know how strong all of this is but we look like we have gotten everything I never finished the mutate Hatchery objective here well they're mine now why did I just get plus one carrase or is that permanent H Eradicator destroyed situation critical the Zerg have overrun the subev interesting why did I get plus one carace at the end was that for hm was that for destroying one of the buildings or something I don't know we're going to have to play more to find out because there's obviously something I'm not getting there so let's see what this mission is like ship is prepped and we're ready I do know for a fact that it said there's no carrian besides on these installation missions so I do think that we're going to have a here I just don't know how it's going to be different besides that she's a powerful hero with special abilities nobody knew this Jim do you read me Jim can't read yeah I hear you so what do we got we got kinetic blast 150 damage we have a 3 second stun with crushing grip we should be good let's Okay well if there's a skip Mission button then that means that the mod maker is not intending us to play it and it is not going to be changed I can respect that honestly like I like it when people play with those but if they have a specific design goal in mind then I would prefer they spend the time developing that new unit brood Queen a surprise party down there that is a very spicy early unlock h i I'm actually pretty excited to play with brood Queens brood Queens within snare might actually quite good with banelings just being able to actually block thing that is a lot of stuff oh my goodness there must be an old here are they going to show some other stuff oh what's that crane it's got a little what is your stat it's got a zerg rescue thing set and the track impulse Canon is almost online Roger that eliminate all stragglers as they War to these coordinates we'll return for you lead out this is Cannon will take out Jim's ship as soon as he enters orbit he'll never see it coming this is really exciting to me oh I'm really excited this is uh you guys here get the brood Queens here they have spawn brings on AutoCast and infest Command Center yo this mod is great already I am having a ball okay let's open carrian is only available on no build missions all carrian abilities have been replaced with passives that provide benefits to your armyan structures rude Queen mutations are now available from the spawning pool select carrian passes can be viewed on the man card of evolution Chambers good to know thank you game Let's uh see what we got here uh creeping growth build drones 5 Seconds faster creep tumors and drones have maximum life bonus creep tumors build almost instantly and the time before they can be spread is reduced that's very good and banful broodlings all broodlings gain 25% increased attack speed plus four damage versus light targets whoa broodling meta whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa okay yo this is really strong do these have an attack they do wow okay um I don't have to keep them in different control groups which is actually very nice so this is a nightmare base with additional stuff added on top but we are very very strong so in that way it's kind of similar to the MK mod or as they said the Mobius mod I oh I'm excited seeing people make kind of stuff for uh Heart of the Swarm is very exciting for me cuz we have a lot of it for wings of Liberty and it's always super fun in wings but having the love shared between multiple games is great in my opinion Let's uh let's see what we can do here man spawn broodings is such a powerful ability I want to get a Command Center I want to build infested teren I want the Teran to be very sad if we can kill the Teran solders these devouring ones are interesting because they are so so tanky their damage is fine but I actually think they're like mostly a tank unit which is very different than normal zerglings they're just uh they're not taking a whole lot of heat particularly against these smaller targets one thing I would like to see is how much damage do we take from this 37 oh they regenerate fast too oh we're being multipronged okay let's deal with the light units first then come on over here and try to drop in snare reduce their attack speed and keep building up oh we don't have any healing I just thought about that that does make life a little bit more difficult too going to get a couple spores over here we're going to put you in a nice safe spot and then let's see if we we can grab this first thing Man it is weird having such a powerful spell like spawn brings available right now I'm looking forward to blasting that tank with it and the AI is rebuilding stuff like very aggressively oh hello I got to be careful this is it's uh one of those ones where it does feel like we could get overwhelmed in a moment notice if we're not being super super safe I want to destroy this oh these Queens do not do much damage and then hopefully we can take all this down finish this production off up out of hiding that's fine fight for your oh Hunter Killers Hecker yeah mind numbing spine launch a spine coded in mind numbing toxin dealing 30 Dam damage draining all energy from the target that's good and then there's a thing over there that I want to see but we got to we got to go over here first and defend ourselves okay let's go let's go explore I love little things like this it's just like here's an here's a oh yeah oh gaming friendship what we got infested Marines volatile infested orbital command infested orbital command heck yeah we can get infested planetaries too and it does it act as a base can we actually return money to it because that would be amazing this is so interesting there's so much to learn oh it's like back when school was fun oh my goodness uh got all this stuff to go now we're going to push over this way upe can we drop infested mules forces Abomination forces are under attack okay I don't it didn't say operation right is it Abomination that's uh our life for nerzul huh how many different units do we have available on this Mission that's crazy what I want to do here and oh that crawler regeneration that we unlocked is actually fantastic we want to rescue the uh captured swarm Queens we want to recover the stolen biomass before reinforc once arve so the biomass is up here and it looks like this might lead us to that stolen biomass May no it's just goes right up here okay I was completely and totally wrong we are going to blast our way through whoa whoa IR radiate um wow okay that is an insanely powerful ability to deal with right now there goes my hunter Killers I did not expect that that nuke of an ability we have an aberration Tower and can walk over smaller units just yeah or sorry Abomination going to try to get the names right but uh get this and then keep dropping our mule and how do we get over here I figure maybe we want to go over and Scout right maybe we can like oh hello let it this is good more Abominations definitely Abominations are the right thing to be making now because they actually combine very well with our current forces but I want to go Scout I want to go see what is happening over here how we can get that and how we can avoid dying in the process are under attack our forces careful careful take these down Siege up tank there and that's fine a giant rock our forces there are more zerlings in this cave my I mean all right we can we can head up there so can we just go like spawn brings or something of The Brood rise my children Maybe I don't know how I get I get do we have to kill them bile spewer oh my gosh we got so many new units to deal with here this is incredible we have a long time before the reinforcements arrive but I got to we got to recover that stolen biomass it's important to me wait can we use a changeling to do it is under attack that'd be very cool make more Abominations clean all this up let's see we have a sensor Tower oh the sensor tow is from The Observer remove from all Army select hey I like that ources hey what a nice little ability okay so they're removed from the F2 hotkey uh I don't see what happened with our dude but I think he got shot so we're going to have to change ling a little bit better this time we have 13 minutes our vesan guys RS exhausted H also this is really nice look at that little flam and Zerg car pile under attack that is a lot of Fire Bats oh they seem to be able to snipe changelings they're smart smarter than the base AI let's go up here and smash this then we got to get back here and defend it's a big attack waves that they're sending are under attack mineral it's not my default mu hotkey and it's uh getting in the way of something else and that is okay I'm not I did not design my hot Keys around having the infested Command Center but we can fix that in between missions no problem this is a hectic one we're doing a a lot of stuff here there's so many engineering vays it's like they're playing all in it's so good attack ources set the rally this way get another Abomination can we are not going to make our way into this but we actually did a lot of damage we'll back with the Queens oh oh they killed it I thought those spines were going to defend but they didn't that's not good maybe we could use our dropper Lords what do you guys do they have corrosive rain it's gross a b with a blob okay I'm going to figure out how to get this biomass I need it I care more about the bonus objective than I do about anything else because it's a I I have a feeling it's gon to be an important upgrade right we can't we can't lose out on the opportunity oh this is actually mining out this is bad mineral field depleted our those mineral fields are depleting though my goodness this enemy is so aggressive but we're building up our Queen count constantly we may be losing other stuff but our Queens are still good tumor is under attack our radiate try to spread from that use oh crosa B goop then you two absolute Legends try to drop some stuff onto this Beacon it just says Beacon oh maybe we have to destroy the tissue sample there we go Zergling efficiency obtained devouring ones are 20% cheaper and build faster cool but how did they beat the science vessel forces are under attack oh my goodness they are everywhere are we going to die are attack we might we might be dead here oh man there's so much to learn at the beginning and the game does not let up on this mod it's uh really getting the sneak peek of the really fun and exciting and creative radiate ability is what uh got me the first time I was so surprised by that that I was not prepared I will be prepared next time though I've played enough brood War recently that I can deal with it it's just it a brood War it has this like really distinctive sound and it kind of sets off the Panic sensors in your brain but in this game there's like nothing it's just it's very quiet IR radiation and as a result I need to kind of recalibrate my brain to deal with it uh I don't care that you can cloak I have Nickelodeon goop okay just more WS there we go perfect I mean for very specific values of perfect that we are not living up to if only we had this base The Hive cluster is under attack there's a big area over there yeah we could actually like move our zerglings and attack from behind there couldn't we the radiating the drones is a bit much game Let's uh let's try going over here oh we can't well I was wrong we do have dropper Lords so we can keep it up we have 6 minutes maybe no maybe we just defend for 6 minutes maybe I need to just chill maybe let's go do the bonus objective over here maybe we don't need minerals for the remainder of the mission you ever think about that it's okay to not have money I'm trying my best oh okay oh wow that's a lot of stuff get them [Music] queens oh my goodness there's so many people okay we only need to deal with the antiair right now and then we should be able to take everything else out these broodlings are great they're really really great under attack as long as you don't get eliminated you're extinguished you're extinguished the light in my life is gone okay make them attack slow maybe a couple broodlings to [Applause] tank what if they just rebuilt that base for me so I could destroy it and infest it that'd be nice and we can come this way and let's try to oh gosh we're going to kill like a thousand units on this mission there are more zerglings in this cave my queen more of Z on ultralisk pull it back pull it back pull it back let's read terrifying roar oh it's a rosk Gamers was this worth it maybe dear mod maker please put the StarCraft one a radiate sound in on a radiate that's all that I want oh my goodness this is pure pagers that's what that's what the kids say right what else does he do Behemoth walks over non-massive units in addition can shake the Earth itself allowing CLE to hit a 360° circle around him okay CLE cleave are tunneling to you right now my food will be there then it has Frenzy besides that Roar stunning all the stuff he uses AutoCast if it drops below 50% life that's good and it heals real quick that's what we need oh my goodness get this oh you made the Tas stink I don't care that just makes him better against infantry okay I'm so glad we got this guy he's going to be the reason that we can hold out why is he he like runs around a lot oh you know what's happening he's being hit by the radiate and that's being counted as an attack and he's trying to move away from it very interesting not great but uh interesting oh there's a base over here too man there is so much potential in this mod I am very very very interested to see where it goes yeah the AutoCast is interesting on this I noticed it was only doing it on certain things and then I started doing it on only the anti-air and I think that's the way to play if we're trying to slay my worms bring reinforcements I really love in snare mobile detection it's like the uh Oracle ability except it also says a debuff it's great they make him so stinky he walks so Gooby too look at how fast he [Music] is here look I'm radiated look Mom no radiation or yes radiation just going to Chomp through some of these I think we could have actually busted this entire base way way earlier uh if I were to do this Mission again it would be probably pretty simple what we would do is we'd clear this area and then clear this area have three bases grab the toas which is it's such that's a little bit of an issue I guess that's what ins snare is for and then we'd be able to do it with those three bases we'd have enough momentum look at that little blob has come they see me rolling they ha that they're going to get look you can see the medic things too now let's get up to their base under attack if you wish to command all of your forces in battle I do there's a way to control them all at once it's my favorite button oh wow that sure's not a lot of guys oh no don't kill all your friends stop being radiated please thank you uh can we have some more wormy friends thank you I'm actually a little bit scared sced we're going to lose we don't have that much going on for us ow ow please stop Siege tanking [Applause] me no burrow oh why is the burrow key Unbound that's not good I just took a lot of damage all of my but we're going to be okay spread the in snares just reduce the incoming damage KN tool is doing her thing we have regular swarm Queens which doing a bit of healing turns out the tros is the destroyer of worlds and we should be able to click on this real real quick man what a cool mod this is I am very very very excited to see what other stuff this mod maker has cooked up once again this is called the enhanced swarm mod is available right now on the custom campaign manager in the uh the gun is destroy the modding projects Forum area enhanced swarm Heart of the Swarm complete is what it's called by Ami and I am going to keep playing through this because it is sweet as heck and so are you so thank you for watching we are going to do more later I'll see you tomorrow peace
