It took seven months of development, but I’m happy to finally show off my completed StarCraft II mod, a full campaign rework of Heart of the Swarm named Leviathan Crew!
In this mod, players make use of a resource called ‘Biomass’, which is required to build units and is collected from slain enemies and from completing bonus objectives. Biomass carries over between missions and is in short supply, so players will need to preserve their forces and seek additional Biomass.
Some features and details of my mod:
Two upgrade system for every unit similar to Hyperion Crew. Sometimes these upgrades are simple stat changes like in HC. Sometimes they are totally new weapons that completely change how you use a unit like in Tactical Arsenal mod!
Kerrigan is not under your control! She will usually sit on a cliff behind your units, (think Heart of the Swarm cinematic), or will occasionally be AI controlled (mostly no build missions). (Also Kerrigan collecting the eggs on her own while you either support her with your units or fight Zagara to buy time is awesome!). The point of this was that I really wanted this mod to be a "Zerg" game and not a "Kerrigan" game.
Additional bonus objectives, which unique rewards, more bases for the player, and many new voice lines on nearly every mission.
A small handful of new units/changes/additions to the roster.
Unique units that you can bring with you throughout the campaign.
Unique permanent upgrades
An (almost) entirely redone Kerrigan tree with new abilities, heroes, units, upgrades, offering lots of replayability and different strategic options!
Easter eggs
Boss fights!
Extra damage taken modifier on Brutal is removed.
Concise tutorials for the first few missions.
Compatible with the Custom Campaign Manager for SC2
