  • wow i can see some great tactical uses of transmogrophy - you can wall someone in their base by sacrificing four probes, or wall off your own or deny an expo for a good amount of time lol

  • Its not on NA servers QQ Not that I can find.

  • very fun concept, i just hope you guys put in the proper time to make it(it could be a uber hilarious game).

  • Can I suggest a theme song: /watch?v=gkfVdrtLcRs >_>

  • i was drawn here for two reasons

    1 it is posted by tb

    2 the Troll face

  • I think the god should have to upgrade himself by doing harm or help to more than 1 player, perhaps that could be a good gamemode?

  • Trotal Biscuit playing on a Troll Mod

  • looks like a great idea, i don't have starcraft, but i can imagine it working. i do have the feeling that in cooporative chaos, you can really screw someone over without him being able to do anything, so i can imagine that that will be frustrating. however cooperative chaos isn't competitive, so i think that won't happen a lot :) Hope you'll go through with this, it looks awesome

  • I reckon the players should give energy to the trollers and the trollers can then help or hinder the players with the energy given, Co operative and kinda like bribing people... They have to accept the Bribe they want :) Thumbs up if you like the sound of this!

  • how about making it so that one troll player is assigned a player actually playing and the goal for the troll player is to make the the person they are trolling loose.

    also, the person the troll player is assigned is only allowed to troll that player.

    thumbs up so he can see and at the least view the idea so he could possibly get something out of it

  • i have an idea make each side have a trollcraft each and the trollcraft is supposed to help the person on his team win as well as prevent the opposite team from winning

  • @drtrifle he said that idea in the video.

  • I remember populous (can't remember how to spell it) and for me it was an awesome game.

  • Consider adding abilities for the actual players - 1 minute immunity, steal energy from trollcraft... etc.

  • Will this be on the NA server?

  • So this sounds like a troll ver of peepmode...

  • @yogcast 10 u maybe a supporter of the YOGSCAST but fuck you if ur dissing this mod this is epic in the update so go suck a lemon

  • Meh..

  • If they don't have mods like this for other games I think you just gave them the idea.

  • i <3 populus

  • Looks awesome!

  • watching the Trollcraft rotate is making me dizzy 0.o

  • I got an idea for a riddle with hysteria;

    "A house divided cannot stand

    In the battle, you will be banned."

    Whaddya think?

  • must...have......

  • There was a Map like this in Warcraft 3, it worked like the Overlord game mode. You could give units to players, cause different events and use chat to give quests (for example give yourself units and call out a quests that whoever kills these gets some units or resources as gifts). It was fun.

  • Waiting for an update on this...

    Oh, and I think there should be a mode in which the goal for the observer is to make the game continue for a certain amount of time. Then the winner of the 2 trollcraft is the one with the most 'Style points'. Just a thought, as this will mean that the incentive is not to destroy the players, but to troll there game long enough for the trollcraft to win?

  • lol the evil "overlord" is an infector

  • when is part 2 coming?

  • @RubbahPants out now :)

  • May I suggest a sort of offline mode?

  • how long until we get an update mr. biscuit?!

  • fail

  • @imtypingbluewithnpaces

  • also maybe somthing where the batteling players can bribe the trollcraft to do somthing to the other player somehow.

  • best idea EVER!

  • when is the next up date?

  • It's a interesting idea. Have you thought of giving the observer players a goal or win state in Co-op chaos?

  • 2v2, each team has 1 trollcraft and a player :3

  • have the observer locked to a medium radius to his partner players units strip the skills passively hide map location of nearby friendly units, active: single unit haste "overtime" double time w/e no cost semi spamable. player units die then observer is shoved back to base or nearest unit. Force field control given to the observers striped from players and even giving force field to races without it. just my thoughts on the matter a bit more balanced. no learning costs and such..

  • Personally, I think it would be much more frustrating for the players if the trollcraft were visible to everyone. you should keep that in.

  • I would probably prefer either the skills/abilities of the trollcraft being unlocked by meeting certain prerequisites (A mineral cost + The presence of a certain building) that way you unlock certain abilities that match the build your going for. So I rush out a certain unit (templar assassin) and when I build templar archives it unlocks the ability 'deep cloak' or some such (10 second temporary cloak where your are completely undetectable).. So build orders effect trollcraft ability unlocks.

  • what the fuck?! Why is the lobby filled with computers? I can't remove any of them and so I can't play it with my friends! Is everyone having this problem? The lobby is full of irremovable AI! I can't invite friends!!!! :(

  • @SharkyIzrod I think you can make the map yourself and remove the comps.

  • @Saukkomestari doesn't work, or at least it didn't the last time I tried. Gonna check now though :)

  • in Overseer mode you should add an ability called "Mass histeria" which is histeria added to EVERY unit on the map

  • January 19!!! Give him a break!

  • This needs to be in 8 player FFA! only two gods, every player can offer different things to make the god choose him! DO IT!

  • You need an ability to change the terrain!

  • This needs to be in FFA!

    With no more than 4 gods, maybe only 2. And every god has a shrine and chooses his type in the begining! He can be an aggresive one, killing stuff, a helper or something else. The shrine is a place to sacrifice stuff for the god, he can also force you into worshiping him with fear, Like an evil god would do. That would be awesome!

  • call it black and white mode and give each patron god a creature (any unit so long as it is scaled big) that is friendly and (maybe) persistant. this way, if it is persistant and a new creature is against a more experianced creature, then you will be able to blance it via starting energy for the patron gods.

    ie: a newbie with a weak creature has tons of energy to assist the player while the old STRONG creature can rush, but would be hindered and/or killed by patron's weak creature and energy

  • Where is part 2?

  • Is there an ETA on part 2?

  • @MrCivspan yup, now.

  • @MrCivspan its out.

  • Are you going to put this on U.S. servers?

  • I like the mothership/infestor combo. Make it stop spinning so you've got the Mothership throne for Infestorgod.

  • I cant wait to play this!!!!

  • anyone else having a problem getting this working?

  • The more I think about this game concept, the less I think it will work in any way on an anonymous platform as the internet.

    Futhermore, I wonder which player would willingly subjegate themselves to being in such a inferior position, dependant on thw whims of some random guy on battle net.

    Funmaps must be accessable, fun, rewarding and engaging. This kind of concept will ben igh imossible to pull off in public games, too many players will abuse their given power in a destructive manner.

  • @CDCalcifar This. This map is most fun when played with friends. Too many jerks on the bnet just ruin the games instead of making them just more interesting.

  • you should add a marauder hanging off the back of the trollcraft

  • When will it be or will it be available on U.S. servers? As far as I am aware I checked and it isnt there.

  • Sounds awesome once you get everything worked out. Going to love to watch the process of that.

  • I think a cool mode would be "Underling Vs Gods mode" In which the armies work together to kill the "trollocraft" that would be.

  • If the trollcrafts can troll each other, what about a button that reduces all trolls to zero energy and makes them targetable for some time? If you have your own 'god' do it, then some backstabbing could also occur for much lols.

  • @WhyKyja This, although I think that the 'button' should be in the middle of the map, unreachable until a point in time, and can only be activated by the actual players, not the troll's. Great idea though

  • Trollobisquit?!?!?!?

  • What about an ability that switch the building being built at the moment to another one. Make them build a pylon instead of some other building.

  • it all sounds really cool but the guys actually playing the "real" game are kind of gonna be screwed over with cooperative chaos, so what if there were a way for the players to sort of band together and fight back against the trolls. There could be a resources pool like the rage pool and extra weapons for the players that they could set up like turrets or nets or something to attack the trolls. Fight back against the malignant gods, it could be its own game type or part of cooperative chaos.

  • The best part of the day by far, is sitting back with a mug of tea and watching TB :)

  • How do i get on the EU server?

  • I almost always play with random people on modded games for Starcraft 2, It seems like I will have to wait for my friends to log to enjoy this from what this video has shown. :/

  • Comment removed

  • so a little liek black and white 2?

    

  • How about 1 player with 1 trollcraft against the same?

  • @shottybadger NO!

  • @shottybadger He kind of said that at the 15 min mark

  • love it man!

  • pretty baller idea old chap.

  • will part two be up anytime soon?

  • 1000 energy ability: Summon Leviathan

  • I have to admit I think that competative chaos sounds much better. I love the idea of people worshiping me.

  • there should also be a limit or a very long cool down on some of those moves

  • id love to try it out but im some little atm penny less loser

  • i think if you make it team specified gods lit would be good since with 1 person theres no voting which is an advantage to 1 person teams and also it could also support your team and grief the other with all the same options

  • why are comments so long

  • What if you super slow the regen and allow players to "donate" gas and minerals to the observers to use on the opposite player. eg: minerals give 1:1 energy gas gives 3energy per 1 gas. OR give each player one of the observers. the observer can see both players ofc but only screw up the game for the player he's assigned for. :D

  • You should some kind of scoring system where the trollcrafters get points for dragging out the match as long as they can, to encourage them to try and balance the match when one player gets ahead, as opposed to ganging up on a single player. The players should also get points for not only winning, but doing so in the least amount of time possible, to discourage cooperation between players and trollcrafters.

  • Did he not play God games in BW? Same exact thing.

    Nobody ever wanted to play as a melee while being screwed, everyone wanted to be God.

    This is nothing like monobattles.

  • I`d like a concept like this only the other way around. You get 1 "god" and 1 player on each team then its all about wich god can help his team mate the most to win. No negative spells all possitive and all about helping and teamwork

  • where is part 2!?

  • Jesse needs to voice the riddle for the spell that turns units to Gold minerals.

  • @TotalHalibut Launch this trolobattles on EU servers NOW!!!!

  • Reminds of of God's Land from broodwar.

  • BEST MOD IDEA EVER!

  • to balance it:

    with cooperative chaos, make it so that 'God figure' gets powers though his designated player.

    for example:

    a player must choose how to spend money. he can do regular stuff like creating units, teching up, or expanding, but he can also sacrifice some of his resources/buildings/units at their shrine which will give the god an energy to use the power. That way, not only it is fun and chaotic, but also very technical and actually quite in-depth.

  • @ryusm92

    also, to give a 'warning', make powers not a single-target spell, but an area-target spell with a very, very small cast area.

    for example: if you want to use a spell that will turn units into chickens, instead of selecting a specific unit to change, it will have a very small aoe cast (about a size of a small unit). When activated, it will show some kind of a warning (like red signs before nuke drops), and after few seconds a meteor drops and turns unlucky units into chickens.

  • @ryusm92 that will allow some balance, because not only it frees players from being 'helpless victims of trollgods' and actually give them some kind of a way to resist too much trolling, but also makes god's role a bit more engaging; instead of mindlessly clicking every unit, you actually have to 'aim' a little bit.

  • @ryusm92 just to add in a little bit more, maybe either god themselves or players should have a small way to resist back at trolling gods, such as stunning them for few seconds, teleporting them away, or blinding them for few seconds, during cooperative chaos mode.

  • @ryusm92 problem is, ppl will be stupid enough to either ignore his god or sacrifice almost everything. each player should be independent in some way, or ppl will just get frustrated

  • call it, the wabajack

  • ok ty man

  • whats the god game he talks about in 7:40 named i cant hear what he says... :S

  • @Nerfedattitude he was speaking about a game called populous :)

  • @Nerfedattitude I think he said populuos 

  • Transmogrify should be renamed to "The Mine-Dus Touch". :P

  • "Star Craft 2 m-" END

  • Minecraft - Im Modding It.

  • QUE PORQUERI ESTA CLASE DE JUEGOS..

  • I think you should earn points for playing. More for wining. And you can use those points as energy for your trollcraft in other games. Otherwise, there doesnt seem to be much motivation to be on the recieving end.

  • @rocier How do you suggest he imliments this sort of system???

  • @rocier also theres no real motivation for this game anyway... it's a game... 

  • @TotalHalibut just an idea but you could have the trollcrafts be able to spawn a neutral Nydus worm that releases a bunch of Zerglings or something funny like that, or infected terrans that don't die cause of time restrictions, but instead of the player killing them.

  • An evil overlord that sounds like TB?

    :o

  • TotalBiscuit, can you please make a video about ACTA: an international bill that is largely being kept secret (only having details released due to WikiLeaks) that at the very minimal surface is far more severe than SOPA or PIPA (which were mostly likely meant to distract us from it). The US has signed the bill already (without Congressional approval) and if enough people know about it we might be able to bring our signing of it to the attention of the Supreme Court. Thumbs up so all can see this

  • What an amazing idea. fucking awesome! 

  • Hey TotalFaggot yesterday you stop us voicing our opinions on a video you very well know deserves it's criticism and today you show us you like to rip off other peoples ideas. Unsubscribed, please don't show your face on the Yogscast. Of course you could turn this around by telling us truthfully how much you're being paid by EA and Bioware. That won't happen though.

  • @Ghurkinz what? What video was that?

  • @Ghurkinz Wait... What?

  • @Adadadpwns @Duox9937 @Monkeysandpie I believe hes referring to the interview with Gabe Amantangelo about Star Wars: The Old Republic which currently has comments disabled. I'll admit it seems a bit odd for TB to disable comments since i was under the impression that he tends to not read them but im sure he had a good reason for it.

  • @Yargasblarg1 Oh right, probably a bunch of people having a rage war over some minute thing in the video, I'd disable comments if that happened to me.

  • @Ghurkinz What?

    That must of been a Different person, Slightly differnt user,

    Like TotalHallbut or something

  • @Ghurkinz begone troll

  • This looks very good on concept. But in practice, and taking into acount human nature, isnt it more likely that trollcrafters will just gang up on a single player? or that a player will just ragequit when he gets affected by the trollcraft?

    Even if its intened as a friends-only game, there are bound to be many people who will want to play it even with strangers. Either way, it seems like it could cause a very sour experience on both sides if not handled properly.

  • @Ironwyrm  just as everything else.

  • @Ironwyrm assuming people go into the game expecting people won't troll them

    I'd play this simply for the lulz

  • @Ironwyrm Maybe they will implement a feature, like an anti shield so if you got to much influenced, you cannot get more influenced by one of the gods for a amount of time and also they have to influence diffrent players, so it keeps being a bit on the fair side.

  • @Ironwyrm hence the name "Trollo Battles" I guess. Though I do see your points even though I do believe this mod has a great deal of potential, downside of humans involved aside.

  • @Ironwyrm Exactly, it's intended as a friends-only game. If people want to play it outside of that, of course the experience would be non-ideal. They can want to play it with strangers all they wish, that doesn't mean anyone should try to appeal to them.

  • @Ironwyrm They probably wont gang up on a single player, im more worried about people playing it and teaming up with a trollocraft in Cooperative chaos and then ruining the game for the other player. And they probably wont rage quit if affected by a trollocraft, its trollobattles, and it happens.

    I can see people rage quitting because they are getting ganged up on by a trollocraft, but not much else.

    I'm worried about people mind controlling a builder and building there own base.

  • @Ironwyrm You don't play trollobattles to play a real game. If you want that then you play 1v1. You play this to actually have some fun, if they choose to gang up on you and you ragequit then you don't really deserve to play this game. The game is for fun, if you can't laugh then why bother playing it.

  • @Ironwyrm he covers what you said in the video multiple times.You should actually watch the entire video.

  • @Ironwyrm you could for example set that if after somany skills used on 1 player, that players warnings for those powers increase

  • also, how do you make it so the hotkeys show on the unit production tabs? i always have to hover over them to see them :(

  • omg you are zerg :D awesomeness

  • there should be a talent tree type thing for the observers to unlock so they cant fuck with the probes too bad from the start. also they should have to do something for these unlocks sort of like farming creeps or something

  • make it available to choose the trolcraft type for yourself . or something like that

  • I'm not much of a starcraft player, but this seem rather fun to play with friends ! Looking forward to it

  • You should add positive and negative worship aura surrounding units and buildings, so when a trollcraft glides over them it will regenerate or drain their energy, that way you can actually be affected by "mortal" players and direct attacks have downsides.

    Could also roll with shrines spread out across the map that can be captured to attain higher level abilities, energy boosts, buffs,... again giving more interaction between deities and mortals.

  • Competitve chaos sounds better

  • love ya maps man

  • day9 will love this

  • You mispronounced Eiviyn's name :P

    It's pronounced like "Avian."

  • There was a map in Warcraft 3 called "Oh my God!" that was really similar to your mod. Maybe you can get some ideas over there.

  • @BigJhonny007 W3 is an amazing spot to get ideas for Mods

  • In competitive chaos, the trollcraft should gain rage through actions its allied player achieves.

  • You should be able to move buildings.

  • This may be the best idea ever.....after microwave meals, of course!

  • Wasn't CTF originally a Quake mod? think I heard that somewhere...

  • I love this

  • Competitive Trollobattles seems like Age of Mythology where you can pray to your chosen dietys.

  • maybe some stuff like teleport units into the enemy base or flip the economies

  • Idea:

    Buff a unit like +100% health/dmg/speed + invis

    But the thing is, the unit loses his hotkey, is invisible to both sides and teleportet away...

  • @The1ngrimm and crashes the computers of both players :)

  • Join "trollobattles" hannel on battlenet! ^^

  • You need a bar which will show how much energy was spent on particular players.

  • @TotalHalibut the trollcraft should be able to spawn the most powerful unit the armies currently playing can build, BUT they have only 1hp and no other special protection just for that HOLY SHIT factor when a player rushes all his units in only to find out ........(wait for it)........ hes bin TROLLED lol the excellent part of it is that if ignored all together its can still do alot of damage but the players wont know wether its a real unit or a Dud

  • o.e...

    should not have clicked.. does not understand..

    I have no idea wtf Starcraft even is

  • This would be so funny if Jesse Cox and TB was on a team vs. WoW Crendor and WoWAcai

  • Comment removed

  • PS: The "trollcraft" is hilarious. Maybe make it randomly spew Leviathans (but they're basically fireworks that randomly go out and blow themselves up)....and needs a terran unit in it. Perhaps make it have wraith (or something) behind it like a broodlord? (Mothership/infestor as broodlord, terran unit as broodlings, with attack disabled)

  • Perhaps for the "deities", the "gods" are stuck at being whatever main buildings that team/player has (lair/hatchery/lair/command center/nexus), but stuck at "all" of them. They can move between them, but can't move away from them (say, 5 range max)

  • OH I KNOW!

    "Random" ability. Do ANYTHING (even things that you still must "buy")...but you have NO idea which power is going to be used and have no control over anything, but something will definitely happen. Like someone losing all their minerals, or suddenly getting their vespene doubled.

  • Perhaps disabling resources (specific, areas, worldwide)?

  • Here I figured "Coop Chaos" would basically be a troll working for a player, and competitive is where you're trying to buy them off. Perhaps this buyoff will let them use more stuff in another round...like bonus starting minerals? Or double mineral gain? Or something like that?

  • i think trollcraft should be able to bring down drop pods and such of marines, zealots, and underlings that u can control. it would add some more interaction with the game

  • Name: Buh-bye.

    Description: Unit teleports randomly.

    Cost:

    200 - Short jump

    300 - Medium jump

    400 - Long jump

  • there should be a gravitation beam ability that can let you pick up and move units
