Bug maybe.

Installed and watched the first cinematic and played first two missions, tutorial and Terran Mission 1, but now when I try to load a save at Terran mission 2 I get a ogl/DX crash saying check my drivers. Drivers are up to date and HotS loads fine its just the mod.

I think Telenil is from France, but I believe he has other things to do.

Would it be possible to remove the "Kerrigan" caption in the 'The Dream' cinematic? I mean. there MIGHT be people who could be still surprised at that plot twist in the Agent of the Swarm.

As well I think the Dream cinematic interferes with the program that saves your mission progress if you're going one at a time because The New Dominion won't stay available even after beating Egression. Eventually I used the level skip cheat which unlocked Agent of the Swarm and the Dream cinematic.

I don't think that's a good idea. For instance I personally don't consider it a victory on that mission if it's imminent that I will be losing my entire base. I find it hard to imagine lore-wise that the survivors you're trying to evacuate in that mission survive if there's a single supply depot or floating e-bay left, but don't make it out in time if there isn't.


I admit, it might be kinda fun to have a more difficult defense mission against Zerg, since there isn't one later on in the campaign. (Though BW Terran 10 sure feels like it initially.) However, if they made it a lot harder it would be weirdly inconsistent with the rest of the missions at the start of the game. Should Hard be that difficult right of the bat? I'm not sure.

I should have proposed, for the hardest difficulty, I wanted it the all-in attack to be a little more fierce and damaging, because I (as well as multiple people I've seen in YouTube videos) have easily survived the final encounter with all of my bases fully functional and ready for an even greater attack. With the Hard-mode being "that difficult right of the bat", it's pretty clear that the player that is deciding Hard-mode is a well-versed veteran. I don't think it makes much sense that if you're a newbie and you wanted hard-mode in your first run you're going to have a fairly easy time defending the onslaught of the Zerg.

Anyways, I am still requesting Telenil (or any corresponding awesome people making this mod) to make the hard-mode of the Terran 3 survival even harder. Please let me know what you think and I'd love to continue the discussion.

It could be done in theory, but there are many ways it could go wrong. The crux of the issue is that if a player is really trying, he can make supply depots to funnel zerglings into firebats, multiple layers of bunkers, mass repair with SCVs and a few dozen marines as backup. A Zerg horde large enough to seriously challenge that will trample the defenses of any player who didn't see it coming, so the mission would have to be much harder to put the player on edge. This causes two problems:
- This is only the third mission in the campaign. While our Hard mode can go toe to toe with WoL brutal, we do prefer to increase the difficulty over the course of the campaign.
- If the final wave really is overwhelming, a player will just float a structure away from the hydralisks and play the watch. People playing in Easy reported they had to do just that and that it didn't feel satisfying, so we drastically nerfed the final wave in that difficulty.

An other thing is that the more Zerg you add, the faster they will sack the base once the bunkers are down, which again pushes towards floating structures away. So if players can survive the final wave on Hard, fine: they would most definitely keep their base in the original level as well, and better that than frantically sending structures in different directions.
