Heart of the Swarm #1: Bad Hair Day
UPDATE: Instead of starting a new hive cluster from a couple drones, you "rescue" a hatchery and spawning pool along with a bunch of drones and overlords to get you started. Also, the enemy is much more tougher now. (You won't be able to beat it with just the heroes anymore!)
Greetings everyone. By now I'm sure you've all beaten Wings of Liberty and bragged about it online or offline, so I can't spoil it for you. I'm sure you loved the ending, with Jim carrying Sarah off into the sunrise. (After it RAINED on CHAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!) However, if you're true fans (and I know you are) it still left you craving for more. And like me, you simply cannot bear to wait a half-decade or more before Heart of the Swarm comes out. I mean, what happens after that? Does she join the Raiders on the Hyperion and leave the rebuilding to her cerebrate? Does she shove a nuke up Mengsk's south end? Does Kate Lockwell insist on an interview? How do the Protoss react? How does Sarah get her hair back to normal? Will the dynamic duo tie the knot in secret or prefer an elaborate ceremony with Horner as the best man and Zeratul as the pastor? (Okay, go ahead and laugh. Lol.)Will all three races stand united against the Fallen? So many questions and no real answers. And so, I am proud to present Heart of the Swarm Mission #1. I hope you enjoy it, or at least get a laugh out of it. As for what to expect, here it goes:
The conversations are shown thru transmissions with text and no sound. Please note that in cutscenes, the text appears on the very bottom of the screen, starting in the left-hand corner. As a result, you might otherwise think there is no text there. It sucks I know, but there's nothing I can do about it. Also, it takes a few seconds for a character's portrait to show up for the first time, so if you see nothing but static for the first few seconds, that's normal. Your goal is to destroy the small Dominion base in the upper right corner of the map. Build up your forces and wipe it out. Anyway, tell me what you think, expect the next mission soon and enjoy!
Zergmana, where in Adun's name did you get that info?
He didn't make any of this...all he did was add some units and simple triggers. This is someone else's melee map.
I am sorry but this needs some real work. It was a good start but i beat the entire mission with kerrigan, so it needs some work. First the you need to get the AI to actually fight. I saw the drones weren't doing anything so it was kinda pointless for them to be there. 2nd u need to put some detector units in that map for sure. I admit the story was good but it just needs a lot of work.
So before u start working on ur second one, i suggest u update this one with fixes. Otherwise, i dont think many people will be enjoying the second one because i sure wont.

blizzard said starcraft 2 heart of the swarm will be released around may 2011 and the protoss campaign around december 2011
Not Bad!! Make Moar :D
HotS will very very likely get released before 2013, that's not half a decade. xD
Good work, for the start. Althou it is only regular melee map with some scripts an pre-plased units - Good work! But...
1) Dont u think that first map of the campaign shoud have a little less opened troops for player? Main forses of Zergs were destroyed by an artifact, and Sarah was weakened by it as well. Zerglings and Hidrolisks shoud be enough. Or even without Hidrolisks (action take plase underground, so there shouldnd be any terran air-units.)
2) Create some AI fore Dominion enemy. Fore example after first encounter with marines create a timer after which Dominion starts attacks for your base (marine can send out transmission with "call for help"). Dominion can use marines, maradeurs and fire-buggies (I forgot their name).
3) Next let Sarah sens that near lays damaged Lair and she tell Jim that still have a little power to control some basic Zerg forses. That also let u pre-plase structure lost of which will meen - game over.
PS: And last - I think that Sarah as unit must not present in that map. Because only at the end Jim find some uniform fo her. So... where the hell she get all that ghost eqipment from the begining of the mission???
no offense dude but i agree with this dude. i could just send kerrigan and kill the CC.
Ummm Dude this map is a little bit to easy... i Mean Alot to easy... you can beat the game with just Sarah.Kerrican Theres no detection and i was able to have both Zerg and Terran base... Im Guessing you made this map for 2 yr olds
