Abathur's Whimsy

This mod changes the zerg army units in fun, silly, and sometimes memey fashion.

Abathur has had control of the genetic makeup of the swarm for years. He can just say "Useful strands. Will improve Swarm" and everyone just takes his word for it. This mod imagines what the zerg army units might play like if Abathur were a bit more whimsical in his gene editing. The end result is a sort of unofficial "Heart of the Memes" in terms of how the units play. The goal is a lighthearted and silly experience, but not one that's a complete faceroll on brutal. It should be roughly the same difficulty as the vanilla campaign, or a bit easier if you adapt well to the unit changes and take advantage of them. Bonus objectives are often quite a bit more challenging than base game brutal.

As of v2.0, this mod also makes changes to all of Kerrigan's abilities or replaces them with new ones! She gets to join in on the silliness.

As of v3.0, nearly every mission has a new bonus objective and associated permanent reward! There's also an optional challenge mode on Reckoning to test yourself against.

Missions without significant changes include a skip button (Credit to Amith for skip button trigger, and Rhyme by proxy).

I suggest playing blind (all units get a tooltip that at least roughly describes their changes via Abathur comment, and Kerrigan's ability tooltips are pretty good at explaining themselves), but design doc/TODO is here if you want spoilers and mechanical details: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jPkcoZHy43nwOF_ulTkdhLIgYkY1uwUWh84buBEb3Ic/edit?usp=sharing

As of 3.0, I'm shifting focus to other projects. I consider this mod to be complete, although there may still be updates in the future.

Note on intended mission order: Kaldir->Char->Zerus is recommended such that all bonus objective upgrades go toward units you already have.
