So. Why overmind called overlords "Gargantis Proxima". Yes, i understand meaning of this. But this name given by a HUMAN scientist.

I tried to play it again, but it says the map uses dependencies which are no longer available. I think you need to change the dependencies to LotV, I really need to get some screenshots of the termite and hornet.

how do i open the game? because my editor says that sc2switcher not found.:(

edit. found another way to play it, drag the originssc2editormap to the starcraft2switcher x64.exe and boom, even without using control+F9 in your editor you can directly play it.

it can be found in supports folder of the starcraft 2 directories

hi just wanted to say thanks for making this campaign. I am not great at StarCraft but love the game. I love the story so far maps are great and voice acting helps a lot

Yes, the descriptions that mention zerglings and drones were taken directly from SCMR, which in turn were taken from SC1's manual. I assume these will be corrected in later versions, just like the portraits.

A Zerg campaign about the early days of the Swarm? That's something I've wanted to play for a long time, so I fully support your initiative. The concept of your campaign sounds very promising, especially if you really are going to expand on some scientific ideas. :)

Gameplay-wise, the campaign felt a bit uneven. The first two missions are very protracted, while the third one is very short in comparison, more like a typical SC2 mission. The Daggoth difficulty is challenging, roughly corresponding to the Hard difficulty in LotV (that three-in-one attack wave in mission 2 was positively brutal, though). But overall, the focus on environmental hazards is a nice idea.

The characters' voices sounded a bit bland to my taste (no idea if it's the acting or the effects). But then again, I don't really have anything to suggest here.

Nargil's voice actor has also mispronounced "chirality" in mission 3. It's /kaɪˈrælɪti/: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/chirality

Definitely gonna agree with u on that one i gave up and had to use cheats at one point

Btw are there only 3 released so far?

been playing through this for a while so far, currently stuck on mission 2. I'm about to say something scathing on it so before I do I'm also going to say that from what I've played of it so far, Mission 2 is actually my favorite campaign map - EVER - in terms of concept. this felt exactly like what I imagined the zerg vs. Xel'naga battle to go. That said...

The fact the AI likes to sit and camp mineral lines, the fact you have no time to set up enough to defend early, and the frustratingly low health of the scourge nest has made "Daggoth" difficulty feel rather more frustrating than it needs to be and on levels I don't think help the campaign. I achieved gold in the competitive and I generally do play zerg, and even after efficiently spending my minerals, trying a bunch of different balances of units to economy focus, I still can't find myself ever getting ahead, and when I think "Xel'naga"... I don't think camping minerals with drones like they're trolling a bronze. It'd probably be more tolerable if you started with more tech, but at the moment you either need to rely on spore defence that can't move to cover the numerous angles the Xel'naga will try (and which they have no interest in engaging if they can help it), try for termites while still trying to get the larva and minerals to create the 30+ you need to meaningfully engage any of the xel'naga attack waves, or try to tech up while getting hammered by ships from second one.

or to put it more simply, it's just a bit much very fast.

overall, though, Story is absolutely great, gameplay has been fun outside of a few areas, and this already feels far more starcraft than any of the sequel's campaigns in feel, fun, and atmosphere.

if there's any criticism I have for the campaign overall, it's that the game's a bit bad about explaining itself at times - I didn't know I'd obtained spore colonies my first run-through of mission 2, for instance, which hurt me a great deal, and I didn't initially know I needed to inject the scourge nest regularly, either! There's never been any point where I've been outright crippled by lack of knowledge, but there's been a few times I've been left with a limp.

Overall, good work, despite my criticism up there, so far it's 9.5/10. I cannot wait to see more.

I started recording this campaign and my opinions. Also the audio of the game or my voice might cut out or get messed up because I use a laptop and record with OBS: Open Broadcaster Service and my mic will either be the one in my laptop or a mic on my headset.

Heya, I am Theo, featured sc2 streamer and pseudo-progamer ( :) )

Godlike accurate voice on the overmind, and also probs to the daggoth voice. With some accent training, you could really get an amazing variety to the different characters in your campaigns.

I have played the SC1 remake campaign, some of the other ones (Subjection and the one with purifiers)

I signed up now to start commenting a bit cuz why not?

I think most users really enjoy playing campaigns similar to that you find in campaign by Blizzard. I understand it is most fun for a mapmaker to explore things themselves, but in SC2: origins I think there is a great balance between sc2-intuitive campaign gameplay and new features, and that is what I really like here, besides the story!

I hope to see more custom campaigns with actual in-game upgrade specializations and tech trees similarily to that you find in the real campaigns, further improved with bonus objective based upgrades and achievements.

Good job and cheers!

There is that option to be able to change colors. (alt F i believe?)

It bugs the sunken colonies, their colors

edit apparently it bugs out other stuff, such as minerals, overlords as well
