1. On Mission 8, the lightening is [i]way[/i] off or is it something in my computer? Everything has gone so bloody dark, I can barely see. I had to turn it from Windowed Fullscreen to simply Fullscreen so I can heighten up the gamma. Am I the only person experiencing this?

@DingoDyno69: Go Not really.2 hatch works better at the beggining. When you have more drones you can build the 3rd hatchery and when you have big drone saturation you can afford to train from 4 hatcheries.If your main strategy for the mission is to mass mutalisks you will need to expand to train them fast.

I just passed the campaign couple of minutes ago.The last mission was a chalenge but still,it wasn't that hard.If anyone has troubles with the missions,ask.I will give you an answer as soon as possible.

Couple of tips:

1.Colonies are really usefull through the whole campaign,mostly at the beggining of a mission.Build at least 4 of each type.

2.After Mission 7,the mutalisks are really weak when they are alone.They are still usefull in more further missions,but only when coupled with ground forces.

3.Build tons of drones,and many exp-s.It's really important!When having many drones you get minerals at crazy speed!It makes the missions way more easy!

4.Lurkers,coupled with sunken colonies are the best defence against ground units.If you have problems with defending,use that strategy(on mission 8 it is really usefull to do it because you need to defend 3 locations).

5.Upgrades are very usefull,especialy at the last missions.Upgrade the units,and they'r weapon and carapace(armor).

PS:Good luck to all new players to that campaign,and as always,GL & HF!

@TyrannisUmbra: Go

Thanks, it worked tremendously. You can beat the mission with your initial units, just like in the original :) Someone should send a message to the developers, cause they don't seem to figure it out why it isn't working for some people.

BTW, i play this game on minimum and the portraits are 2D only, so i don't know how it will affect people games that are set portraits to 3D and moving.

1. It appears on the green messages, before the actual Briefing on the first mission, there is no "Press any key to continue" message. This is ridiculously minor, and unless you skipped to the Zerg campaign you'd know you simply gota click a button. But simply pointing it out.

1. In Mission. . . 3, I believe it is, where you must destroy the Terran forces and protect the Mature Chrysalis; the mission right after the mission with the protoss, which I believe is 2. Both the three new available researches from the Hatchery, instead of having a requirement, show something like "Requires: Name/Behavior/EventLair" or something similar.

1. I also feel that Mission 3 is far too easy. I have completed the mission with training nothing but Mutalisks, apart from a few zergling and hydralisks that were crushed by the Terran forces. You have made the mission so that ground forces cannot possibly penetrate that fortress. A simple flock of mutalisks that breaks through the turrets can simply fly on, kill a few defenders, take out the Command Center, take out all scvs, and watch as Marines die so fast to Mutalisks. I recommend you add greater upgrades to the Terran, if they're not already maxed out with 2/2. Perhaps make him train Valkyre? Anything, just so I won't simply train a few upgrades on the mutas, and then just mass make mutas and win it. It was very easy, in my opinion. Perhaps don't allow air upgrades 2/2 just quite yet (for the zerg), and keep them on 1/1? That way, at least that will perhaps make us get overlord drops, instead of just mass mutas. I think all that's required is to make it so that we would need to make overlord drops, which is exactly the upgrade we just received this mission. Usually, the creatures/upgrades you receive in that level is key to that level.

1. I have one thing to say about Mission 4; Hard! I like it! I had to do loads of saves and loads, because Kerrigan always died and the Terran bring you immeasurable attacks right 15 seconds into the mission. Good job! But once again, I cleaned out their entire bases by mere flocks of mutalisks. I begin to feel that Mutalisks all in all are overpowered. Perhaps some mechanics in Starcraft II turned Mutalisks extremely powerful? Defending was hard. Once I began my attack with a mere 15 mutalisks, I took out all outposts of Raynor's Raiders; took another 7, had around 20 Mutalisks, and took out his entire base with pure ease. I recommend you nerf Mutalisks in some form. From what I've seen, they do extreme aoe damage. Perhaps nerf a bit the damage, or reduce the amount of jumps the mutalisks attack has to say, two from 3? I'm not quite sure; I'm not all that good at balance.

^Visual reference should help.

@Telenil: Go Thanks,that helped really much!The only real problem was carriers and rievers,but i did the job!I am gonna go ahead and try to pass the last mission!

@tyrannisUmbra

Second mission still not working. Can you describe the changes step by step? Cause i'm not a map maker, i don't know my way around the editor.

Would like to say, awesome port. This is sure to sate my want for a zerg campaign in SC2.

Just wanted to lend my support: I found a fix to the blank briefing screen in Zerg mission 2.

In the ini trigger, go to the creation line for each portrait (ie, the lines that say "Portrait - create a Portrait..."), and change where it says "Wait until loaded" to "Don't wait until loaded". Probably just a problem with the portraits not loading correctly. From what I saw this doesn't seem to affect the portraits themselves in any way, as when the briefing loads the portraits still look normal. It just makes the briefing load completely instead of making the game wait on a portrait to load that for some reason isn't loading.

HTH.

Edit: hmm, the static portraits aren't appearing actually, maybe create the portraits and then change them to the appropriate ones after? At least it seems the portraits failing to load seems to be the problem.

Another superb romp down memory lane!!!!! :D

Can't wait for the Protoss Campaign!!!!!!!!!

Again, there were issues with the 3rd person viewpoint mission as with the Terran version but the rest was simply amazing!!!!!!!! :)

There were a lot of Broodwar only units here but I loved it anyway!!!!! :D

I think it is great. 2 bugs I have found though. Continue Campaign button does not work. Every time I click it, it takes me to the main menu and says cannot load map. And a couple of times the briefing screen would just be blank(I know you know about this one, but just showing that it's happening to others too). Can't wait for the protoss campaign.
