Overall this mission was pretty fun. Scared to go back through it to kill Lisk with lava though. Mission took so long >< | ||

Also, I made a couple extra CCs to just float around with 5 SCVs loaded inside each. Everytime the lava came, I loaded the SCVs inside and lifted off. Worked very well, although you have to be proactive with your Reapers in picking off the Zerg bases, because they like to ignore your main and attack your roaming Command Centers. I only ended up harvesting like 4 different high-yield locations, and I think there was another 4 remaining. Plus killing the Zerg bases, there's a ton of resource stashes there. | ||

Other than that it was one of the easiest missions in brutal so far. Had Zerg eliminated for ages, and had the workers just sitting while trying to do the above achievement before giving up and just mining the extra money. Kidna dunno you can run out of minerals. Was spenting way more than I wanted to keep money low while trying to kite brutalus, and still when it ended there was like 1/3 of the map with untouched minerals. As for OP adding to the salvage idea since your pop is 157/158 check if you have some 2 food unit queued that you can cancel and get the money back. | ||

Main, the one north, the one directly east, the one directly south, the next one directly south, the north-western most one, and I win. | ||

What you want to do is + Show Spoiler + lure the Brutalisk to the low ground on the RIGHT, not straight up. If you lure him to the low ground on the right, you can make him stay there for 10+ seconds. | ||

I just keep the main army around the SCVs working, it has to be fairly big, so 5-6 medics and couple firebats + mostly marines and the reapers you pick up. the brutalisk was just natural, i expanded there and took my army to kill it, npnp I also hotkeyed all workers working the patches to 3 and army to 1, so it was easy getting them all when the lava came up | ||

many minerals and they can get to all the high places. Only thing you have to watch out for is mutas. | ||

I'm currently playing on hard and woo tough I'm going to try working counter clockwise to see how it works out. | ||

I simply put a bunker two squares down the right side ramp + Show Spoiler [Finishing the mission] + pretty much didn't build anything, mined from one location(using both ccs is counter productive- you'll spend more on split defensive forces then gain mined time). Just fly around the map with reapers and collect minerals/rape hatcheries. I got like 3-4k minerals like that | ||

I had a force of like 20 reapers (+ the extra reapers that joined my cause) 10medics so my reapers could get healed occasionally. when the lava started coming i told all my scv's to hide in the command centers lifted them off salvaged the bunkers. And would only lose 2-3 turrets everytime the lava came. Even had some war pigs camp by my medics to keep them alive. The bunkers I have course manned with 2 reapers as in this mission they dont attack you with many roaches. =) Brutal difficulty setting FTW On July 28 2010 06:52 Fruscainte wrote: The brutalisk was probably the easiest thing about that level. Was it supposed to be a boss or something? I just kept shooting and backing up, probably the easiest micro trick known to man and it didnt get a single hit off on my marines. It was a joke. As for the expo's, I went in this order: Main, the one north, the one directly east, the one directly south, the next one directly south, the north-western most one, and I win. I don't think it was supposed to be hard unless you made the mistake I did.... Use reapers hit back up hit back up.... *why are my reapers exploding the brutalisk isn't attacking them... Sigh lava... (on another note it got me to kill the brutalisk by lava | ||

Step 1. Clear all Zerg Step 2. Park a command center on the low ground to the right. Step 3. Wait for warning bells, kite the brut to the ramp and let him kill your reaper. Step 4. He will see the CC and attack it. Step 5. when lava is about to rise lift off and the brut will use its AA ability and keep standing in the lava. | ||
