A while ago I was posting blogs about my mod, Armageddon Onslaught, and then finally a release thread. I understand though that there's probably a lot of people who never played it for one reason or another, so I made a video demonstration the Great Destroyer, explaining some of the difficulties I faced when designing and building him, and detailing his mechanics.



I was debating on whether or not this was interesting enough to post on TL... maybe someone will get a kick out of the Great Destroyer slaughtering hundreds of marines or my voice acting, at least.

Here's his sprite sheet showing 3 frames of 4 of the explosion effects. You can see that Starcraft's 256 color palette totally mangled them ingame. The top row of graphics are processed from Diablo 2, the big explosions were created by myself in 3ds max using Afterburn.

Ridiculous effects, I can't even imagine what it's like playing against that thing. Have you actually playtested it to check if it's beatable? ;o

It is beatable, but you need to have a lot of resources waiting for it when it arrives.

Unfortunately due to the mod's instability you rarely get the chance to kill it or be killed by it. That's why I released the mod incomplete. :\

plague wears off after a certain amount of health though (depends on how much heath this thing has)

Awesome idea though. I'm surprised you were about to do this on starcraft.

Plague does 300 damage (pretty sure it was 300 anyway). It'll ignore armor, but it's not really going to contribute that much DPS in such an intense battle.

Also, zerg are unplayable in the mod due to the cannibalization of the zerg race. I also had to cannibalize two tilesets and virtually every unused entry in the game.

I thought it was 250?

Maybe. I remember it being 300... Let's check.

Yep, it's 300 according to Datedit on the latest patch.
