I was struggling like crazy with your strategy, switched to mass marines (with the healstim) and a few libs and ravens sprinkled in once i got a huge ball of them at 2-2 i was unstoppable, can just a move them and clear a whole area, dont even need nova that much except for the early game i love your guides though
Nice one! I spent most of a Saturday trying (and failing) to get this one a while back. I'm going to study the sequence you went through here, and try to get the nerve back up to do it. I like the idea of not using spider mines. I usually just lay them down from force of habit, but if the Zerg don't set them off, the Protoss might when they attack. As always, these are much appreciated!
No problem! I agree with not using spider mines, you want all of your army / defense to be things you can directly control. I think the toughest part of this achievement is getting a timing & rhythm down for the Terrazine. Since you really only have 18 minutes to get everything done, it can feel tense. Don't be afraid to get your first couple objective points done early, as the amount of infested seems manageable even with just Nova & the couple liberators!
also the shotgun is AMAZING on this map, as long as you have decent AA (which you don't with libs hence the snipe) but try it sometime. it feels amazing. you can blow away huge packs of infested terrans with ease, the sword is okay but the shotgun is the king here
its hard to do this achievement , as always im sucks at multitasking between attacking and defending terazine and at the same time managing 2nd expansion not to mention the protos seem attacking the last terrazine and i ended killing them lol any idea
This one is rough. One thing I found helpful was going mostly Liberators for the army. They're a nice "fire and forget" unit once you set them up at a terrazine site. The other tip is to start early on the Terrazines. Just Nova and a handful of Libs can do the first few. Anything you can do before the 18 minute mark is less to worry about when the Protoss attack. I hope that helps!
While I have not tried it personally, I would wager not. I've done this one on Hard multiple times, and I don't think I've ever been able to do it cleanly. Put it on Brutal, you're liable to see quicker Tal'darim attacks & larger Infested forces. If you decide to try it, I would love to know how it goes!
Thanks, your guid helped me, I got the achievement, liberator is just the perfect unit for this mission and your tips were very helpful!

you can also use the grenade to deal with small packs of air units I think
done thx i tried with marines before but that wasnt quite enough
Love the way you speak
Thanks!

Do you think this achievement is doable on Brutal?
