Just hope it will be enough to break it. Edit: Wasn't hard at all, I just failed the first two times. This time I actually used thors instead of trying to go M&M ball. Walked out of my base at 3 Thors + Odin together with some SCVs. Just kept walking and sent reinforcement Thors and SCVs to replace the ones dying. Defended base with 2 bunkers and mercenary tanks. Took me 17,5 minutes. Also don't forget to send a pair of marines to the secret mission location  | ||

One idea I'm gonna try is to send 3-4 thors to 2 of the objectives and send tychus alone to the 3rd that I cleared during part 1. Just hope it will be enough to break it.

As long as you play on hard, you can easilly do with 3 thors plus the odin as your strike force. Just build 2 extra thors as fast as you can (3rd is the one you get for free from Swann). Then just add 4 SCV or so and walk in a group non stop between the objectives and you should make it in time. | ||

Then I immediately expoed to the east, and repaired my Odin while sending it in to finish the east base off, I build up siege tanks and goliaths (thors may have worked but I don't like them, plus west base air dies to goliaths easy). I cleared the west base while uploading in the east, Odin plus 5 scvs can tank the force alone if you use the strike cannons. Upload to the west with main army while clearing the rest of north base with Odin, then main army meets up with Odin to upload north. I finished in exactly 18 min on hard. | ||

I finished in exactly 18 min on hard. the mission is designed to show off thors, so you only really need to have odin + 2-3 extra thors + scvs to complete the mission. i built some turrets at my base's left flank to deal with the 1-2 air waves, and mercenary tanks on the right flank destroy any and every ground unit that comes through there. im not sure about brutal, but its easy as pie in hard, even with the air units to the left. | ||

You wont have time to get fuckton of thors and vikings if you want to do the timed achievement. which the OP asks about. As I said several times. Odin + 3 other Thors plus say 4-5 SCV and you will just walk through it all easilly base to base. And I did it in 17,5 min, wasting some time being slow and forgetting to put a unit on one of the objective circles. | ||

As for the other towers, two specters for the north base dropping nukes in succession keep the raven at bay while 3 specters at the rightmost base. Tried it with two but the raven just kept working it's way around before I hit 100%. That was a fun achievement! | ||

I think my best was 20:40? It is the very last achievment i need for the liberity campaign so any advice would be helpful :D Have you tried redoing your run without stopping unnecessarily to kill things? I got up to 20:24 with a thor-only strategy, loaded my last save, and redid some of it without stopping as much. Lowered my time to 19:40. | ||

Started with going to the middle and took out factories and siege tanks, then to the right and took out whatever I could get there. Took the expand on the right quickly and started using it. Tried taking right tower with Odin and SCVs but SCV got killed by hellions and he was too slow with the air, so made some vikings to protect it (I did all other missions before I started the Odin mission). Then I went to middle with Odin and two merc siege tanks while taking left at the same time with vikings and marines. If you have upgraded vikings, the air from the left is easily killed, but Odin sucks at that base. Edit: Come to think of it, I had science vessels but forgot to use them this mission, used them on the mission before though :o | ||
