Ninja Destroyer
Arcane
Hello fellow codexers,
Due to some circumstances I'm starting the playthrough of original Starcraft, along with the Brood War expansion pack. It's been many years since I've played any RTS, let alone this one, so it will be a good way to refresh the memories. The system here will be simple - 1 post = 1 mission. That way I can keep the pacing as I see fit without building a juggernaut posts later on.
This is the original version, not the remaster (which IMO looks too plastic and doesn't have the charm of the original)
Time to make a first step.
Poor bastards didn't stand a chance with Protoss yuge spaceship.

Since I know how to walk and chew gum at the same time we will go for the first mission, leaving the Boot Camp untouched.
Adjutant Online. Good evening, Magistrate. I'll fill you in on what's been happening: Confederate traffic has increased substantially within the system due to the recent Protoss destruction of the Chau Sara Colony. The Confederates have
tightened security on all outlying systems, and it's likely that this colony will be locked-down as well.
An encrypted Confederate transmission came for you while you were at dinner. Replaying transmission:
Greetings, Magistrate. I'm General Edmund Duke of the Confederate Security Forces, Aplha Squadron.
The Confederacy has quarantined this entire planet, and we'll proceed with the lock-down within 48 hours.
You're to relocate your core colonists to the outlying wastelands. Now I know there won't be any problems with these new
arrangements.
Transmission ended. I have contacted the local Marshal, James Raynor. Raynor has agreed to meet your personnel en route and escort them to the new wasteland site.
Objectives :
- Find Raynor
- Build a Barracks
- Train 10 Marines
We start with a small groups of SCV's and marines. Pushing through the south, nothing to see here.
After a short walk we meet Jim Raynor.
As we can see here, he easily defeated zerglings, who are basically a target practice in this stage of campaign. Jim can one shot kill little beasts if he is lucky, marines are basically a support here.
While the workers gather minerals and build barracks / supply depot let's search the whole area.
Hey that's look oddly familiar...
Damn you little brownish prairie dog, go play dead !
Fun fact: It was an Easter egg made by Sharon Shellman. She made some of the Fallout artwork and after that in Blizzard for some time, then later ended up at Troika with her former co-workers to develop Arcanum. Thanks Sharon !
While we were killing all the zerglings, the barracks and the marines are waiting for orders. Time to move on.
To be continued...
