There is none and it's a bit stupid.

Only way is to save then go back to the load/save menu and in the description of the save it should show the time spend on the mission so far.

Erm, depends.

Some achievements are quite hard to get on the first try or while doing the other achievements for the mission.

What I would say to do is to play normally in the difficulty setting you find good for you.

Then at the end you can redo all the missions you want in hard or whatever and get achievement there.

Like you can redo the maps just to do the Hard achievement, easier this way.



The only issue with this is that you cannot change the tech/armory choices you did so if you need some other choices to complete the campaign, you are screwed and need to redo the whole campaign.

Yar, some of the protoss ones will be tough I think, especially on Hard... it's really quite a step higher than Normal.
I only had trouble on a couple of missions on Normal but hard is quite tougher.

Good replay value though and I like achievements

I managed to get all the ones for Mer Sara (Zero Hour Hard one was tough but fun)

Other option also is to get the tech that get you the radar sweep ability for your command center.

Then build 2-3 of them and spam it, then use the dig drill to kill the buildings

There is a section Feats of Strength under the Achievements section

Yep, doing the Hard achievement on Brutal will count and you will get credit.

But Brutal is.... Brutal so it might be tough to do all together

Well, some unlock some portraits or tag for your units, so you look a bit less "noob" in MP games.

But that's all, mainly achievements are for bragging rights.

I went to the hatcheries south-west personally, not so defended.

There are 3 there, I killed them (do not kill all the drones), moved back a bit, waited 30 seconds and move back in, they are rebuilding one hatchery, destroyed it when it was still under construction and got achievement.

It took me 3-4 tries to get my timing and economy start setup but it's not impossible
If you doing it for achievement, screw the initial base and bring all your troops with you.

Yep, just kill whatever you can, fall back for maybe 1 minute and they will have started rebuilding them, then you can easily go back (since no more defense) and kill it
