Prime Resurgence

This is a 5-mission Terran campaign based on the final events in Brood War. The campaign begins with Kerrigan's assault on the UED capitol on Korhal. As captain of the UED forces, your objectives are to contain the situation and regain the initiative in the Brood War. The campaign will culminate in a final showdown with both the Swarm and the Dominion.

You will take command of exciting new units, fight in unpredictable conditions, and still have time to gaze around at the terrain work once in a while. While the campaign itself isn't awfully difficult, your micro and your macro will be tested.

Requires HotS to play. Compatible with StarCraft II patch 3.0. Please post any bugs in the comments section below.

Link to feedback thread

Instructions

Download the .ZIP file and extract the contents to your StarCraft II maps folder:
(SC2 installation folder)\Maps\
The subfolders will be created automatically. Don't move them out of the pre-placed subfolder or the mission launcher won't work, and the maps won't be linked.
Download the Left2Die.mod file (included in the files page) and place it in the following directory within your SC2 folder:
(SC2 installation folder)\Mods\ This is because mission 2 uses some hero skins etc from the mod.
Run the Mission Select map. You can do this by right-clicking the file, and selecting "Open With..." then choose StarCraft II\Support\SC2Switcher.exe
Alternatively, you can open the Mission Select map with the SC2 Map Editor, then pressing "Test Document". Make sure you close the editor while you run the game, because these maps can be quire resource intensive.
Enjoy!

If the AI does not send attack waves when you run the map through map editor test (AI still sends attack when you run it from SC2Switcher.EXE), you need to go into your StarCraft II Editor, File > Preferences > Test Document > Game Difficulty > it should appear blank. Change this to any difficulty (has no effect on gameplay) to fix the issue.

This bug will affect multiple maps (not just mine)... thanks Blizzard!

Good feedback, I'll change the behaviour of the investigating overseer. Thanks for that.

The stealth part of the mission was designed to be a logical puzzle, you had to observe the seer's movements and there is actually an extremely easy way to get past. But I think I made it a little too difficult, so I'll make some changes to that.

I played through the first two missions.

Mission One

Very nice. I like the city terrain even though it was very bright. It was a nice take to control both terran and zerg and have an ally computer. The computer enemy was also a bit more reactive then I'm used to, which is nice. It was a bit easy, but it was very good for a first mission. It is always fun to smash zerg bases with friends, even if that friend is a computer.

I didn't really like that the game speed was set for faster. I'm used to normal, but I guess that's a matter of taste.

Mission Two

Very hard beginning. Full of overseers and I found it hard to find a pattern in their routines. And if I was seen the overseer came to guard the area and I couldn't get passed it. I admit that I had to cheat after the fifth attempt.

I would suggest that the overseer coming to investigate only spend some seconds guarding the area before they move away again. And perhaps remove some overseers? ;)

At any how, I think you should make cinematics skippable. It's not that much trigger work and in such situations were I had to restart again several times the intro becomes redundant.

When I got to the Umojan base I took of the cheat and that part was very nice. I really like the new variations of the Zerg units. Kaboomer :D Made it a bit fresh and interesting. And fun. I defended the base a little and then I realised that I would'nt get any more resources and I had to make due with the cash I had. I made a mix of battlecruisers, marines and medics and moved slow and careful down to take out the zerg bases.

It was a different and fun mission, despite some frustration at the beginning.

Good work! I'll play more tomorrow.

v1.3

Main purpose of this update is to fix issues with AI-controlled opponents in Mission 1. Protoss campaign is in the pipeline, 60% completed!

General

Medic starting energy from 50 to 75 (brings it in line with Medivac). This fix applies to all missions.

Mission 1: Endgame

Fixed a bug where Zerg drop-pod attacks did not work as intended. (Due to a SC2 patch)
All Zerg enemies will have their unit armor/weapon upgrades improve as the mission goes on.
Improved the way Zerg enemies launch their attack waves. These will now have a smaller chance of destroying your ally's base, but their attack strength will now be more consistent.

Mission 2: Liberty

Rocketeer hit points increased from 100 to 120.
Hero Medic's Guardian Shield renamed to Force Shield, now gives 20% damage reduction to ALL incoming attacks in a small radius.
Hero Medic's Force Shield hotkey from G to F.
Hero Medic's Force Shield energy cost from 25 to 75.
Hero Hellion attack speed, hit points, armor, and damage given significant buffs to make it competitive with other units in the player's arsenal.
Hero Marauder base damage changed from 22 (+11 vs. Armored) to 22 (+18 vs. Armored).
Fixed tooltips for a few units.

v1.2

General

You now get a tip notification for Corps Information, Field Intelligence, and Planetary Profile at the start of the game.

Mission 1: Endgame

Some minor terrain improvements.
Fixed a few minor pathing glitches.

Mission 2: Liberty

Kaboomer base armor increased from 1 to 2.
Kaboomer damage changed from 9 (+6 vs. Biological) to 8 (+8 vs. Biological).
Kaboomers will no longer spawn in pairs.
Redeemer (special Marauder) attacks now slow the enemy's attack and movement rate for 4 seconds. Previously, this unit only slowed movement.
Purifier (special Firebat) backswing reduced by 50%. While overall DPS is unchanged, this means the unit can deal damage slightly more reliably.
Harbinger (special Banshee) missiles now deal splash damage in a small radius. Does not damage friendly units.
Removed SCV from glossary since you can't build SCVs in this mission.
Loading screen help text changed slightly.
Changed icon and sound for Eva's stun ability, also renamed to Mindblast. (Special thanks to SoulFilcher)
Added a new icon for Yamato Cannon. (Special thanks to SoulFilcher)
Added a new hero icon for Eva. (Special thanks to Flinks)
Shortened the names for most of the special Terran units.

Mission 3: Shattered City

Diamondback attack range from 7 to 8.
Diamondback vehicle weapons upgrade damage increase from 2 (+2 vs. Armored) to 4. Diamondbacks will now deal full damage to light units as well as armored units.
Diamondback movement speed from 2.95 to 3.05.
Warhound attack range from 7 to 6.
Warhound model size and collision size slightly reduced.
Goliaths removed as starting units. They have now been replaced by Warhounds instead.

Mission 4: Dominion Fury

Fixed a major bug where one of the enemy bases would stop sending attacks after about 10 minutes into the game.
Improved pathfinding for enemy air attacks.
The compositions at the left entrance and right entrance to your main base should experience more diversified attack compositions. (Previously, almost all bio attacks and air attacks came from the left, while a vast majority of mech attacks would come from the right)
Re-scaled the difficulty in the later stages of this mission.
Added new attack waves with Thor drops, Hellion drops, etc.
Enemy forces now start with weapon/armor upgrades at 0/0 instead of 1/1.
Enemy forces now receive weapon/armor upgrades to all their units as the mission progresses.

Mission 5: Operation Vertigo

All pre-placed units with the "Advanced Aeronautics" ability will now start with full energy.
Some minor terrain improvements.
Removed several Widow Mines from enemy bases.

Uploaded v1.1 which should be visible shortly.

Changelog:

Mission 1: "Endgame"

Changed weather effects to be slightly less taxing on lower-end PCs.
Reduced the number of instances of weather effects.
Added thunderstorm effects in a few locations.

Mission 2: "Liberty"

Added Left2Die.mod dependency file.

Mission 3: "Shattered City"

Previously, Diamondbacks cost more, could not attack air, and were weaker in a head-on fight compared to Warhounds. In fact, Warhounds performed the Diamondback's role much better than Diamondbacks did, and for a fraction of the cost.

Warhound cost slightly increased, warhound railguns no longer deal bonus vs. armored targets. Haywire missile cooldown reduced from 6 to 3 seconds.
Diamondback cost slightly decreased, supply cost reduced from 4 to 3. Diamondback attack speed reduced slightly. Diamondback eviscerator beam damage changed from 20 (+20 vs. armored) to 40.
Vehicular regenerative passive ability added to Vikings as well.
Hellbat passive ability icon changed to colored version.

@DancesWithGlocks: Go

Thanks for the report. Only the second mission requires this mod. Don't know why the link got broken, I assure you that it worked when I checked on 11 December 2013.

Anyway I re-uploaded, hopefully the link should become available soon.

Just FYI, the Left2Die.mod link does not seem to work, so your campaign is not fully supported.

air-ground attack speed decreased to 1.5, damage decreased to 15, damage versus structures is 15 + 15

I'm planning to open the full tech tree for zerg campaign (which will feature Duran), yeah. But work hasn't started on that yet. I'm about 40% complete on the Protoss missions.

To be honest I'm not a big fan of the viper in triggered attack waves. My experience with them wasn't too good, my triggering skills are limited and too often the pulls would be useless. Plus the viper has no innate attack and the AI by default isn't too good with them (at least Ravens AI will use some auto-turrets and you can script it to use HSMs) so I didn't add them in.

Actually I didn't add in any HotS-only units for Protoss and Zerg, but I'll have them in the Protoss and Zerg campaigns that I'm making.

What about using pirate ship of hots for the Hero BC of mission 5 and add viper with automatic pull spell to zerg waves?

Nice. Whenever I played Mission 1, my slave brood base got attacked like crazy so not sure why it's not happening on your PC. I specifically had AI triggers go to the slave base, maybe it's bugged. I'll look into it.

Mission 2, there are small holes within the overseer's detection range that you have to sneak through, timing is really important!

I'll try to do something about Mission 4's air waves that only come from the left. If you're talking about the medivac drops, they are designed to only come from the left, but because I always took the gold expo and defended from there, the air waves come smack in the middle for me.

The volume problem was a mistake with speakers, the launch Map still doesn't work and maps are not opened by using select mission or by putting all maps in a sub folder, maybe because i am using PTR editor

Anyway i played all missions and i noticed this things:
Mission 1 is a bit easy, and zerg slave base is never attacked
mission 2, the last part of the sneaky zone is impossible,so i created that part, the kill-stuff part was really entertaining and challenging
Mission 3, mech based mission... Finally! Epic mission,widow mine spam at start and mass warhound-goliath-Diamondback-Thor-hellbat.
Mission 4 is nice but the air waves that start at 11 min are present only on left part of my base
Mission 5 is the most challenging, the strategy is to keep 9 BC to defend the two exp, and then go with 30 BC and the super BC, great mission !!

Good to hear! Any comments/feedback/suggestions?

I am in the process of making a Protoss campaign that follows this one, so any improvements would be welcome.
