I just started playing again and was curious about the mods, can use start an offline game with them or do you have to be online? Can you download them separately or do you have to go through the Battle. Not changing this sig until Christ returns -- Started 30 A.
The Leviathan skill can be replaced by a portable nuke, or by a set of drop pods Kerrigan can call in to spawn an entire army at a moment's notice. Her skills sit on a tech tree, and demand that players choose between two later three abilities at certain levels. Kerrigan acts like an action-RTS hero on the battlefield, and players have the ability to outfit her for a range of functions. She can be given a set of healing and buffing auras and told to stand next to the bulk of your army, or you can build her - as I did - for pure damage output, speeding deep into enemy ranks, chucking blasts of kinetic energy, and darting back out with a city-sized spaceship in her wake.
A number of missions feature the endless streams of dumb AI units that characterise that genre originally born from Blizzard's games: the circle is complete. One mid-campaign level is fringed by a constant battle between two rival Zerg factions. Their two streams meet at the bottom of the map, extra forces sometimes spilling off to attack Kerrigan and her own brand of Zerg at the top of the area.
The persistent creep conflict is technically superfluous to completing the mission - Kerrigan need only survive for 25 minutes - but a bonus objective requires crossing the stream, necessitating a serious battle plan on higher difficulties. All of Heart of the Swarm's campaign missions are this thoughtful. The story introduces new units at a deliberate pace, inevitably making your new organic toy ideal for the mission ahead - but victory is never assured by simply building lots of new unit X.
Each mission has a gimmick to go alongside its new Zerg arrival: an early stage on the ice world of Kaldir introduces flash freezes that root the local Protoss to the spot for a minute at a time, allowing systematic destruction of their bases.
A later mission asks Kerrigan to harvest meat from indigenous creatures on a jungle planet: a task that required me to build up my base, push out onto the map with a sizeable force, kill the critters, send a worker Drone to collect the meat, and protect it on its journey home, all while stopping my opponent's forces from destroying my meaty treats or attacking my base directly. There's no one way to win in singleplayer. Chris - playing the game through on hard - had trouble with a level that introduced Swarm Hosts to Kerrigan's arsenal.
He ended up eschewing the pustule-covered siege units entirely and built up a combined force of Roaches and Banelings to win the day.
I took a different path and spawned a flock of Mutalisks to do the same job in another way. This choice is hardcoded into the game. As well as Kerrigan's personal tech tree, I was able to choose one of three specialisations for each of my units - increased health, damage, or speed, for example - decisions I could alter between missions. Heart of the Swarm also offers irreversible decisions: each controllable unit earns an evolution mission that displays two options for improvement - players have to pick one.
I gave my Zerglings wings, letting them jump up cliffs, made my Roaches spit debilitating acid, and tweaked my Ultralisks so on death, they crawled inside a cocoon and came back to life a few seconds later.
Later levels give Kerrigan full control of the swarm's Zerg strains and multiple bases from which to produce them. On normal difficulty, these felt more like showcases than strategy - too hard to lose against a lacklustre enemy showing, and more an opportunity to breed a few of my favourite units and give them names.
There's less time to introduce people to Charles von Broodlordingtons on hard and brutal difficulties. Next expand the Campaign Folder at the top of the list. Now all of the listed files that are in the Swarm Folder are the Heart of the Swarm Missions you can play.
These are the vary same ones used in the Campaign of Heart of the Swarm. When you select one of the files, keep an eye on the information on the right of the open window as it will show you information such as the name of the Mission. All of these names are attributed to the names of the Heart of the Swarm Missions.
Select the one you would like and then select the OK button. The Map will take a second to load up and your display will look similar to this. Now feel free to dissect and modify all the objects on the Mission Maps. This will help in giving you an idea of how maps were developed from Blizzard Entertainment, as well as giving you an idea of how to create awesome missions from the campaign.
Feel free to select all the Modules, Units, Cameras etc Keep in mind these are campaign files used in the game. Feel free to save separate copies of these files and make changes.
