it would probably be surprisingly easy since most missions you could just lame it out with kerrigan and nukes. it would be hard to track the holdout mission at the end but i did really well for the most part with liberators and biometal siege tanks supporting the defenders bunkers...i dont think i lost any of them, especially when i started churning out BCs.
Doing everything at the same time in Night Terror is absolute madness I can't believe this works even in lower difficulty, the routing must be more precise than it seems right ? It's amazing that a single Lib can actually secure some extractors damn
