I did this on brutal, it seems like you got the idea right since you get the first nexus down easily with 3 vikings - you need to abuse the terrain to have a shot at making it in time. I only trained vikings and bought the mercinaries for defense. When you have 5 or so vikings go to the next nexus, and start of by unpowering the cannons by shooting down the flying pylons - forgot the name. Kill the colossus and try to avoid losing vikings. Once those 3 units are down, land the vikings on the platform and kill the nexus - stalkers might intercept you but they cant shoot you if you stay back on the hill - and you can shoot them. Remember to intercept the fleet of carries / void rays coming towards the camps, and kill them in their path. The last (bottom) nexus is the hard one. Make sure you have like 7 or more vikings. Same strategy, use the terrain to lure the carries away from defense. Kill them of 1 by 1, kill the flying pylons. Land the vikings behind the minerals and kill zealot + archon + sentry. Kill nexus and then mothership. gl hf | ||

Purifier mothership was really annoying though, casting vortex and warping in sizeable amount of stalkers and carriers along with some zealots. I set vikings out of it's max range to fire from safety and had the ground forces to take on the warped units. | ||

Use marauders to tank at nexuses, and vikings for DPS. When mothership approaches third populated camp(the base you're in counts as the fourth) pull all scvs and attack the mothership, causing them to absorb the vortex and thereafter draw stalker fire. Kill the carriers first and then the mothership. profit. | ||

this is not in sequence but just the general idea =) first go for econ first n upgrade barracks to tech n quickly get the 1 nuke silo n then another one afta that all u need is two bunkers with the rines w/ stime n medics they give u and scv have to defend ur base with the 3 vikings if needed start building ghost/spectre (spectres r ezier to do this w/ unlimited cloak) n a medivac 1st nexus area, nuke n rid the 2 cannons in ur way, then get in 2 ghost/spectre, there is a safe spot bottom of the nexus afta u rid the cannons, u can start shooting and nuke when rdy start getting 2 more nuke silos load the medivac with 2 brand new spectre n a scv incase u cant dodge  n head for the 2nd nexus, leave the otha 2 to finish off nexus 1using the medivac, maneuver up the path to nexus 2 n go to the right as far as u can, then sneak ur medivac behind the minerals n probes, yes the cannon will hit u a few times but its kk quickly unload the 2 spectres n get ur medivac out the same way u came in, scan to guide u repair if needed n pick up the first 2 spectres from nexus 1, they should be done reactor the starport n start building vikings but leave money for nukes n u can get 2 more spectres if u want the 2 spectres can start nuking n then blastin away at nexus 2 maneuver the medivac to the middle colony n then btwn the nexus 3 n the above colony under attk guide it all the way to the left after n down, here u will unload the 2 spectre behind the minerals n probes again, its safe there, use scan so u can see then nuke n attk away continue to rapidly building mass vikings with the 2 spectres from nexus 2 done or the brand new spectres built, go to the middle colony n scare away the carriers n stuff use scvs or somethin so mothership would use its blackhole n then vikings move in with scv support to attk, also u can nuke away with ur spectres =) i did this when mothership was still movin n it doesnt attk bak n done | ||

Take down the mothership when she's charging down the first real colony, no retaliation and dies really fast. | ||

For the purposes of the My Precious! achievement, does the main base count as a colony base as well? Raynor's comment suggests it doesn't, but the fact that the mission doesn't end in failure when you lose the first 3 kind of suggests it does. Whenever I try to engage right over the center colony, I get massacred... If the main base counts, then I don't have to push the issue that early and I can stock up on a bunch more vikings... edit: Nevermind, answered it myself. It does count, so all you really need to do is keep the top left colonist base & your main base safe. Makes getting this achievement a heck of a lot easier... | ||

I always lose some Vikings because when I land on high ground, smart computer Hallucinates a Colossi and can shoot air now. Most annoying thing ever. | ||
