This is just so easy, get a shit ton of tanks and turtle your ass (go a planetary on the right like you would forge fe + have a shit ton of scvs repairing everywhere) make a lot of marines some bunkers and start getting armory attack upgrade asap, and float a barracks on the left side of the map got it first try on brutal

the way I did this was I used viking as spotters, then used the laser drill to kill buildings and units, while turtling with tanks and bunks.

I just did this achieve. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Near the end, I just used all my minerals to build Orbitals. I had about 5 by the end. What I would do is just scan the protoss base, and use the drill to kill stuff. You can kill two structures per scan, and I normally just target the cannons and pylons.

I had a question, I tried doing this earlier with Vikings hanging behind all of their forces and cannons and just kept lazor'ing the Pylon and Cannon that a lone Probe kept warping in, yet the Achievement never popped up (and I counted well over 50). My guess is that I probably just got disconnected, but before wasting another 2 hours, I just wanted to confirm that I can just destroy the buildings the Probes warp in constantly in order to get the Achievement.

put the laser on your hotkey and snipe every p unit which can be a big threat like ht, colossi and archon, especially ht.

And save your tank and have a big ball of mm. But you need to micro them quite intensive because you need time to get big army and p sends bigger and stronger army to you.

But in general, with about 10 tank, 25 marine, 15 marauder, 4 medvac and 6vikings should make this achievement possible.

p.s.: dont forget to build bunch of turrets and bunkers!

It's not THAT easy. I've tried several different tactics; wraits, vikings, flying buildings + laser, scan + laser, siege tanks.. but still don't got the achievement. This is the hardest achievement, right?

It's easy if you take the right path with your Vikings.
Head left, like WAY left and then loop around to the very top of the base/map. Once there you can edge down just close enough to see buildings (there will be no AA) and just use the drill to take out the buildings. The buildings will be rebuilt very quickly so you can just take them out again and again.

Just make sure your base is well defended with tanks/bunkers with MMM and use the viking/drill combo. It will work easily just get left and loop around.

Hardly. 1 Viking + the Drill + the AI rebuilding tech structures allowing you to destroy the same three buildings over and over again = very easy.

I think the hardest would be the one in Welcome to the Jungle. I mean, the achievement's name itself mocks those who attempt it.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

Ridiculously easy. Get Merc vikings, float them to the top left to give vision to the drill. If the get hurt, fly back and repair them.

The hardest one for me was You'ze So Crazy because I kept trying to do it on Hard (it's a cakewalk on Normal) and the storms just roflpwned me.

I did this first try though I was really dreading this one after how long it took me to complete the level on brutal. I just played the level normal, got a hube bio ball,and when i had a big army I went to the north west corner of the map. I destroyed everything in sight with the bioball and assigned the drill to kill the buildings, and I killed every collosus, archon, and even immortal or stalkers with the laser so I could have more time to build my army, it was really easy as almost nothing got to attack my base. you dont have to attack any other base as they rebuild that one.

tl;dr: get a huge bio ball, attack when you have about 170 food, snipe buildings with laser, kill every wave with laser, the longer this take the easier it is.
A man tells his stories so many times that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.

Man it's really interesting seeing how many different ways people come up with to get these achievements. With some of the harder ones it's so easy to get stuck on one strat and beat your head against a wall because it was never going to work (or is very difficult to make work)

You can do this with pretty much just MM & tanks. It wasn't super easy, but I didn't have vikings yet.

The key for me was hotkeying the drill and shift-queuing it onto big targets/warp prisms/etc. It takes a lot of multi-tasking.

Don't stop building anything, rally reinforcements to your tank ball, focus fire the voids down with marines and use stim.

Expand really early to get the gas you need. I found it easiest to break the protoss starting with the top left of the map and moving through their base that way.
