Hi to you all folks :). I had an idea for a campaign... while im unable to do it myself its just something i think would be cool to play. So basically in this campaign terran,protoss,zerg met in strange and dire circumstance and have to combine their forces together. Cool thing would be to have just 1,2 units for each race in the beginning and later on you unlock more stuff.
Its important to balance the units selection so you cant steamroll in a map. Maybe unlock tanks and heavy artillery at the endgame? Not sure where your base would start perhaps all in one place or sometimes separate.
This was never done before at least to my knowledge. Only in last sc1 mission "eye of the storm" where you had two races to control but never 3 races at the same time and never through out the whole campaign.
What you think about it and do you have any more ideas?
Story wise i had the idea that this would be a alternate timeline where amon killed kerrigan,artanis,raynor and the hybrid race crushed most races. So a cool tagline would be: Now that amon sized control over a large sector of the galaxy the only way to stop him is if protoss,zerg and terran join forces..
Or another take would be that on a distant planet the 3 races somehow developed/lived in harmony but the hybrid forces destroyed their homeland and now they are in search of a new home. This story would tie in great in the unit composition. Since this distant races never developed fully and now need to copy and evolve to survive. So one could make custom units or use sc1/brood war or new ones such as cyclone/adept. Or mash them all up together... the possibility's are endless.

Yea, it reminds me of the last missions of Legacy of the Void and I definitely remember the SC1 level: Eye of the Storm.
This should be fun and I understand you want to follow the campaign tradition of unlocking more units as the players progress through the campaign.
Maybe you can make a campaign that is part of the continuation of the level: Prophecy 4 - In Utter Darkness. Its the protoss level in Wings of Liberty where its the false future where Kerrigan is dead and amon has control of the galaxy and you must you have to defend against him. You can have the last remaining Protoss, the last band of terrans including raynor raiders and zerg queens controling feral zerg to try to stop amon while trying to revive Kerrigan like a phoenix from the ashes.
What are some ideas you are interested in?
- will it be 30 levels and you get to use a probe, scv, drone?
- will there be optional side missions?
- will you play as Terran primarily but get a side prob,drone. Then, get to play as Protoss primarily but get a side SCV, drone? Finally play as zerg and get a side SCV, probe?
How about: the very last level has been unlocked after you beat the 1st level. The campaign will be like Mass Effect and XCOM. Your objective is to search the galaxy rallying the scattered forces and rescue the last remaining technology - Dragoon machines, feral Ultralisks, the ghost academy, etc. Once you are ready, you can play the last level.
The last level will be very hard, amon forces will use every single tactic and you must defend against all kinds of tactics. The benefit for completing the campaign is that you can easily counter the waves for incoming forces with the new units and upgrades you unlocked, otherwise it will be impossible to beat the level. For example, you will need the yamato for BC to kill far away forces, you will need unlock the protoss cannon to defend a proxy base, you will need to unlock banelings so that you can put a dent to the enemy base. What do you think?
I like where your story is heading sounds great as well. I thought the most important thing in this campaign is that u control all 3 races from the start. And no race takes primary importance. "the very last level has been unlocked after you beat the 1st level." I wansnt really thinking something ala rpg or level up but just a normal blizz campaign where u travel from planet/mission to another mission. "Dragoon machines, feral Ultralisks, the ghost academy" that idea sounds great though. "amon forces will use every single tactic " yeah maybe have a custom hybrid race with hybrid drones (how else they got resources for more units) and hybrid buildings.
No one has contacted me to do it. But anyone can use this idea if they wish. If i started working on it myself it wouldnt be good since i have to learn to use the editor... and im a slow lerner so it would take years :D. Its just an suggestion so anyone can use it even as one map idea or whatever.
