who able to tell what is the different between game difficulty ? mainly in formula in doing damage, ie damage 8 to armor 2 should ends up to -hp 6 in normal, what about in other difficulty ? thanks.

but i feel the damage they are doing is hell alot more if you are playing brutal, its not just the upgrade, much more than full upgrades.

so are there any formula on what kind of damage they will do in all range of difficulty ?

that 1 quite ez even with higher difficulty, most of the mineral is outside, guard both entrance, secure the new command center, build an army, send them out destroying all enemy base and collect resource(not mine), you should be getting almost 8k just collecting and destroying every single enemy base. just remember to use reapers to jump onto any higher ground and check.

able to get the artifact achievement ? use the artifact only once in hard "All in".

are u trying to achieve use once artifact ? if no, just use soldiers on queen, create like 30 pure marines, mainly just for her, you need to act fast, whenever computer alerts you she is coming, u can tell which entrance she will be coming from, move marines there, when she is like 10 seconds away from your base entrance, move marines out, use artifact, so only her left, stim pack, and move your marines surround her, and attack her, she usually able to kill just a few.

Do not stay where she cast the area spell, move as close to her as possible, do not order marines attack her from far, they will block those behind them, just assume your marines are zerglings, move as close, even pass her and then only attack. its ok if you stim pack many times, cause each of her attack will kill 1 of your soldier, so 1 hp or full hp really doesnt matter, just make sure you have to use artifact in this method. usually she dies in 5 seconds and if your timing is good, she cant even see your tanks.

then moves your marines back and prepare 2-3 healers, and train back your marines. weapon upgrade helps, armor dont, so dont waste money on armor upgrades.

if you are trying to achieve the last achievement which specify, u can only use artifact once for the entire mission in hard. god bless you =P my method wont work, usually something will block the way. and ultralisks seriously good at killing pack of marines, 30 cant last few seconds =P

ultralisks its own is very easy to handle with, siege tanks will do, alot of them, why ppl only care about the queen is because she always mess up your defense and allows others to come in, do not use marines against ultralisks they chew them really quick plus your siege tanks will do area damage and it will run into your marines.

if you unable to stop them, use buildings to stop them, left entrance should be easy few supply depots will do, drop 1 or 2 scv there to repair or incase the supply depot is dead. after putting up supply depots, sell off the bunker and move your marines away, they are useless, put ~10 siege tanks there, do not put siege tank too near to the supply depot, make sure a hydra cant shoot the tank when its just outside of the supply depot and allows SCV to repair supply depots. have 1 or 2 turrets for overlords, then that entrance should be ok d, unless the queen able to reach them.

for upper right entrance, put tanks on cliff, both of them, left and right of the entrance, as for the entrance right north of your bunker there, either use supply depot or make barracks elsewhere and land there, ~10 siege tanks there 2. ultralisks have 600hp ? if you did your siege tank upgrade which +40 damage to main target, and 1-2 weapon upgrade, should take out an ultralisks with few shots, basically 1 shot from each tank, so they wont be able to reach your blocking buildings. leave some scv here too.

to make this level easy, you should have:-
pick scatter the sky mission, where there are no fliers
siege tank upgrade both +40 damage to main target and -75% damage to ally area damage
air deploy supply depots, which you can make blockings in seconds
put 2-3 siege tank INSIDE your base, for worms, they dont have a chance to eject anything.
regeneration armor, which slowly repair damage for vehicle and ship

dont you wanna do the last achievement ?

high aces, use once only artifact in hard mode

definitely lo, click continue(campaign) and see which mission you didnt tried, u can get 25/26 using this method, but to get 26/26, you have to enable the hidden level in media blitz where you start with a big thor and go rampage.

Added on August 13, 2010, 11:23 ami did few brutal missions, but seems like brutal 5 is buggy, so i stopped. not worth it if you cant get the achievement.

in hard mode ? i remember my yamato doesnt hurt her that much, even sieged tank only do ~10hp per shot on her, tried many times with BC, seriously doesnt worth it.

oh that bring up a question, are there any easy method to like calling 16 BC yamato on her ? my method is call up the BC, press Y click her, and press Y again and click her again up to 16 times, i feel there should be an easier way to do something like that.

there is a citizen building in media blitz, in lower right conner that appear hostile on your minimap, you have to destroy it b4 u complete the mission. if you complete without destroying it, u cant access the mission d, u have to do it in the campaign, after completing the campaign and going back there wont help.

dont worry nobody can unlock ALL, cause some of them require 1000 win in pvp 1000 in 4v4 1000 in 3v3 1000 in 2v2 1000 in this and that, so you will eventually need years sitting in front of the pc to achieve that and you need partners for years 2.

that can only achieve 1 type 1000 achievement, there are plenty, 1000 win with protoss, 1000 win with zerg/terran/random, 1000 win against 1v1/2v2/3v3/4v4 hard/v.hard/insane, with all the combinations and 100% wining rate, you still cant get them all in 10 years i would say.

but you need 1000 wins insane while u playing as protoss/zerg/terran/random, thats 4k games already =P, and beside protoss how easy you able to finish the game in less than 20mins ?

did brutal on zaratul last mission, seal all 3 entrances with dark templar and hold position, then seek and destroy every single detectors with void rays =P, need to load a few due to no idea where the next detectors shows up and normally all dark templar will be dead if the detector went too close to my base entrance =P after blocking create some colossus and stand far enough, hold position and kill 1 by 1 =), dead when there are plenty of air enemies shows up, no longer able to kill their detectors. anyway, thats far beyond the needed number of kills =)

need not to, due to dark templar blocked all of them d, they are all caged =P just need to manually kill off detectors and fliers, basically all cannons are baits for brood lords so my colossus can survive longer =)

i dont like to use carriers in that mission, due to carriers took up too much unit counts, and 200/200 is easy to reach with carriers

that isnt a good idea, we were talking about hard/brutal, with that difficulty and you go afk, very high possibility you cant even reach half of the needed kills.
