First choice in the campaign so far, I chose to aid the doctor but also have a playthrough aiding the protoss against the zerg instead. Will add the links here when they are done uploading.

Additional Mission Notes:
Easy mission if you follow the guide, build vikings quickly and pay attention to the battle. Pull units away from their base and transform from land to air to take out the appropriate units.

I should have kept my units spread out more especially when taking on the templars and the purifier. The purifier has a void that temporarily sucks in units to spread them out before engaging it. You can also attack a fleet going for a colony BEFORE it arrives at the colony and they wont fight back. When attacking the purifier it spawns units, have them follow you into your base where SCV’s can repair you and your turrets/bunkers can help take them out.

Normal – Same strategy as on hard, but this time the Purifier moves a lot slower making it possible to get the achievement to save three colonies.

Additional Mission Notes:
Siding with the Protoss you decide to eradicate the Zerg. This mission is harder than it’s counterpart mainly because you cannot rely on Viking spam. The key is using your merc compound to build up ground forces quickly, build a bunker next to the NE and SW entrance to your base and send in the firebat and marines inside. Keep building units from all three facility’s while expanding your SCV’s and supply depots.

You’re going to want to use your Vikings to take out the air units and your ground troops to finish up the base/ soak up the damage for your Vikings when they transform to land mode. Throw in some medics and SCV’s to repair your units and don’t bother attacking the three main bases till you destroy atleast two infested colonies. Once your economy is rolling keep on pumping units and build an engineering bay and armory for upgrades.

If you’re attacking one of the three main bases and a colony comes under attack immediately disengage and go after the colony, if you don’t and you let the infestation structure evolve you won’t get the hard difficulty achievement.

Once you have a large force destroy the Zerg… goodluck!
