Objectives: Destroy the Overmind.
Tassadar, Raynor, and Zeratul must survive.
Briefing:
Fenix- (with Tassadar and Zeratul)
_____________________________________
| |
| Executor, our plan worked perfectly.|
| The Zerg defenses are broken, and |
| the way to the Overmind is laid |
| bare! The time for our stand has |
| come. |
| |
|_____________________________________|
Tassadar- (with Fenix and Zeratul)
_____________________________________
| |
| Indeed. My friends, this is our |
| final hour. Not all of us may |
| survive the coming conflict. Yet, |
| death may be a blessing should we |
| fail here. We seek now to destroy a |
| foe that has ravaged its way across |
| the universe consuming all in its |
| path. |
| |
|_____________________________________|
_____________________________________
| |
| And now it has reached the end of |
| its long journey. The Overmind has |
| come to destroy all that we hold |
| dear and assimilate us into itself. |
| And I say to thee, this shall not |
| come to pass! Aiur shall not fall! |
| Executor, I stand ready! |
| |
|_____________________________________|
Zeratul- (with Tassadar and Fenix)
_____________________________________
| |
| As do I. |
| |
|_____________________________________|
Raynor- (with Tassadar, Zeratul, and Fenix)
_____________________________________
| |
| Well, I guess all I have left is to |
| see this through. The Zerg have |
| taken everything from me: my home, |
| my family, my friends. I know that |
| nothing I can do can bring those |
| things back, but I'll be damned if |
| I just sit on my hands and wait for |
| the end. I want a piece of 'em, all |
| right. I'm in. |
| |
|_____________________________________|
Tassadar- (with Raynor, Zeratul, and Fenix)
_____________________________________
| |
| Then let our actions speak for us! |
| For Adun! For Aiur! |

Comments: This is it. The final mission. You'll be facing quite an army
here. But at least your heroes are with you...
Starting line-up: 1 Nexus
1 Command Center
2 Pylons
3 Supply Depots
1 Barracks
1 Forge
1 Engineering Bay
2 Photon Cannons
1 Missile Turret
2 Bunkers
4 Probes
4 SCVs
12 Marines
2 Firebats
4 Dark Templar
1 Zeratul (Dark Templar)
1 Gantrithor (Carrier)
1 Hyperion (Battlecruiser)
Introduction: Aldaris - Executor. Tassadar. This comes too late to you.
But the Conclave has witnessed your defeat of
the Cerebrate. They know now that they cannot
deny the necessity or the valiancy of your actions
We sought to punish you, while it was we who were
in error. You represent what is greatest in us
all, and all our hopes go with you. EN TARO ADUN,
brave Sons of Aiur!
Raynor - Wow. Does that mean they're goin' ta send some
back-up for us?
Comments: (!) You gotta Terran army by your side! Actually, this kinda
hinders the Protoss from getting a full shot at the Overmind,
since by the looks of it (Terran base having a lot more resources
and a more strategic position than Protoss), you'll have to
concentrate on the Terrans to accomplish the mission. Are you
satisfied with that? I know I'm not. This's supposed to be a
Protoss mission, or better yet, a Protoss-Terran mission, thus
should give it's players a taste of the many strategies a Protoss-
Terran combo could bring. And that's just what I'll get! Here's
how: First of all, you'll have to admit that Protoss base is
hopeless. Leave it now, but not before clicking on the upgrades
available at the Forge. Try to gather too with those Probes
but include one with your Protoss heroes as they journey north,
towards a better camp site. The said site is at the northeast
corner of the map, and is guarded by two burrowed Hydralisks.
Use the Gantrithor as bait (by the way purchase those Interceptors
as soon as possible) and kill them with Zeratul. One more thing
about that site is that it's all gas. But don't worry, there's
enough minerals in the Terran base for everyone (you should
be gathering with those SCVs by now. This is supposed to be
yet another "strike hard and fast" mission, but since it's
the last, and since it's oh so special, I've decided to turn
it into an "eradicate" type, my all-time favorite. Yyyessss!
First, I give you the map:

Comments: Then the step by step guide, starting from the "Zeratul kills
the Hydralisks" part:
1) Warp in a Nexus and two Assimilators at your third base.
2) Build a Refinery on your first base and more SCVs to gather
from that.
3) Build more Probes to gather from both Assimilators.
4) Build more SCVs to gather from the minerals.
5) Warp in a couple of Pylons, followed by two Gateways, two
Forges, and two Shield Batteries. Upgrade all there is in
those Forges.
6) Build a second Command Center on your fourth base and more
SCVs to gather for that.
7) Warp in an Assimilator and a Pylon on your fourth base.
8) Build an Academy and a Factory on your first base.
9) Warp in a Cybernetics Core followed by a Robotics Facility
and a Citadel of Adun on your fourth base.
10) Build two Starports followed by two Science Facilities and
their add-ons as well as the Nuclear Silos for the Command
Centers.
11) Watch out for Queens with Spawn Broodlings and/or Defilers
with Plagues in store for you.
12) Surround your Pylons with Photon Cannons.
13) Outline your perimeter with Marine-filled Bunkers.
14) Upgrade everything there is in those Forges.
15) Upgrade everything there is in the Science Facility add-ons.
16) Warp in the Templar Archives and the Observatory.
17) Arm your Nukes.
18) Warp in High Templars to be morphed into Archons.
19) Train half a dozen Ghosts and build as many Battlecruisers
as your cash would allow you.
20) Warp in half a dozen Observers and position them strategically
throughout your perimeter defenses and beyond.
21) Build more SCVs and situate them beside Bunkers, ready to
repair when needed.
22) Upgrade everything there is in those Forges.
23) Build two more Command Centers complete with Nuclear Silos.
24) Warp in more High Templars to be morphed into Archons.
25) Build more Battlecruisers and wait for them to charge up.
26) Build a lot more Pylons and scatter those Photon Cannons
everywhere, even beyond your territory.
27) Arm your third and fourth Nukes.
28) Warp in even more High Templars to be morphed into Archons.
29) Build even more Battlecruisers and then wait for all of
them to finally charge themselves up.
30) Save!
31) Get ready to attack from all directions. Zerg Base number
one is to be Nuked, number two is to be Warp Slashed, three
is to be YGunned Down, and four to be Power Overwhelmed.
32) Make sure you get rid of every last Red Hive and Red Drone
so as to ensure the sterility of their units. Now for the
Purple Zerg...
33) Reinforcements should be here by now, so proceed with the
same technique: Ghosts with re-armed Nukes take Zerg Base
number five, Battlecruisers number six, Dark Templar seven,
and Archons eight. You got it!
34) Now finish the Overmind with all your forces combined.
35) Take a screenshot of this event. Say cheese...
Transmission: Tassadar - Executor, the Overmind has been weakened, but
I fear we have sustained severe damage ourselves.
I will steer the Gantrithor into a collision
course with the Overmind. If I can channel enough
of the Dark Templars' energy through the hull
of the Gantrithor, I should be able to bring
swift death to the accursed abomination. Remember
us, Executor. Remember what was done here today.
May Adun watch over you.
