Chapter 3 - The Great Hunt
Introduction / Вступление
[ENG] Artifact Hunters - once a well-known organization engaged in the collection of alien relics from points where other similar groups would never venture to meddle. Many underground Terran laboratories were ready to tear each other's throats in order to acquire a contract with the Hunters. But everything has changed...
A series of failed operations dramatically undermined the credibility of the organization, destroying the already tense relations between its leaders, fragmenting the Artifact Hunters into warring groups.
Leslie Clark is the leader of one of these surviving groups. And now it depends only on his actions - whether the Artifact Hunters will once again be a single organization, or whether the groups will destroy each other in the pursuit of profitable contracts...
Events of this campaign take place immediately after the Shadow of the Past.
[RU] Охотники за Артефактами - некогда известная организация, занимавшаяся сбором инопланетных реликвий из точек, куда не рискнули бы соваться другие подобные группы. Многие подпольные терранские лаборатории готовы были порвать друг другу глотки, лишь бы заключить с Охотниками контракт. Но все изменилось...
Череда провальных операций резко подорвала авторитет организации в целом, а после разрушила и без того напряженные отношения между ее лидерами, что привело к распаду Охотников за Артефактами на враждующие друг с другом группировки.
Лесли Кларк - лидер одной из таких уцелевших группировок. И теперь только от его действий зависит - будут ли Охотники за Артефактами снова единой организацией, или же группировки уничтожат друг друга в погоне за выгодными контрактами...
События этой кампании происходят сразу после Shadow of the Past.

In reply to Zeralan:
She show the dialogue and died when camera pan back
just like she died when she burrowing
Played through the first 2 chapters just now.
The game was fun, hard, and pretty good. Story was good too, i'm waiting for the 3rd chapter! :D
(The 6 traitor base map is pretty hard though in the first chapter, sadly needed to skip that. :( )
In reply to kisscsaba182:
Thank you for the feedback! Glad you liked it, though the 1st chapter is the hardest one, agreed.
Hello! Will there be a sequel to The Great Hunt? I liked the company, in general, not only this one very much. I would like to finish
In reply to XIJoker13X:
Hello! The Great Hunt is still in progress, I just publish the new content as soon as it's ready.
I had an issue where, despite obtaining all the secondary objectives on TGH Mission 3, I wasn't given the two extra research points on TGH Mission 4.
In reply to TikksIsNoGood:
I don't know for now what exatly causes this problem. Sometimes it may happen when you use rewind function.
You can finish the secondary objective in mission 3 again to get these points (just the secondary objective, you don't have to go through the entire mission completely).
In reply to Zeralan:
Ah, that would make sense, as I was caught out of my base by Setrax, who was able to deal enough damage to convince me to rewind. I will go do that, then. Thank you!
Hello Can someone help me how I can create a bank in the editor that saves hero's XP
On mission 4 of the Zerg campaign (Shadow of the Past), after collecting enough resources for the 1st upgrade and choosing roaches. If any roaches are morphed into ravagers (which is free), the Ravagers' "burrow" ability has a mineral and gas cost. That is, to use the ability. IIRC, I think it's the same cost that morphing a Ravager usually requires.
Doesn't seem to be intended but may have been a compromise/limitation in the Editor? Either way, just a friendly notification. Thanks
Edit: Also, just want to check, queens were purposely not given an attack, caster unit only, right?
In reply to robotman07:
Ah, yes, I forgot to fix this burrow ablity. But I hope it didn't greatly interfere with the passage.
Queens in this campaign are just supportive units with healing and creep spreading abilities, without attack. It was done to nerf the main set of troops (queens / hydralisks / roaches) and slightly diversify other tactics.
In reply to Zeralan:
Understood, and thanks for the reply. And no, the mission wasn't affected much by the burrow thing.
In reply to Zeralan:
The problem is the Army key chooses the queens too, but if there's no frontline to tank for her, she just goes in and just dies.
I have so far played through until the last mission (mission #9) of the Protoss (Race With Destiny) campaign but felt the urge to comment now rather than waiting until I completed all 3 campaigns.
This is absolutely amazing! Every mission has been a ton of fun. The story development during and in-between the missions also feels very fluid and is easy to follow. The story being interesting i'm sure helps a lot in that regard.
The mission objectives and the general gameplay throughout has a lot of content and I haven't experienced any bugs or screwy triggers preventing progression. The work you've done here is very impressive and I THANK YOU for it! I'm very excited for the Zerg campaign next :)
In reply to robotman07:
Thank you for the kind words)
i just played the great hunt campaign, the first three missions. they are done so proffesionaly, i like it. the terrain, the units and abilities are beautifull.
the only problem that i will have is: will i be able to preserve my upgrades for the next mission that will be released?
because i have done the secondary objectives on purpose to have more points to research in mission 4 and i dont want to replay previous missions if they are lost.
Anyway thank your for cool content
stay safe brother!
In reply to raducu273:
Thank you! If you complete bonus objectives, their rewards will automatically carry over to all the future missions, so don't worry about it.
for some reason it says the RWD mod is missing even tho it's there, should I be putting it in separation from the mission files? and if yes, where?
In reply to nyr_cr:
Yes, the mod-file must be located in another folder Mods. And all the maps-files must be in Maps --> RwD.
Here's the installation guide for Chapter_1:
When starting, Mission 3 - Uninvited Guests, of "The Great Hunt", it doesn't go mission briefing, instead goes to game without any mission parameters, please fix.
Nice campaign, enjoyed it!!
