When the attacks spawn at the same time on different lanes, don't spend too much on trying to defend it. Take the Gold expansion as fast as possible (in the first seconds), this will allow you to produce a lot at the beginning. You'll also want to keep your air units that you both build and receive in a separate hotkey, to deal with Mutalisks and Broodlords. You should initially keep your army in one big group, but as the mission progresses, you'll want to split your army into two groups, as the enemy will begin to attack from two sides at once.

Max out attack, then start researching armor. Your primary unit composition in this mission should consist of primarily Colossi and Immortals, but you'll want Stalkers for anti-air defense, and you'll also end up getting a lot of Zealots too, considering you should have an abundance of minerals throughout this mission.Īs you start out, be sure to start researching attack upgrades for both ground and air, as you'll need them later. You start off with a well established base, but you should build more Probes too, as you'll want the money. This mission is a defense mission, where you're expected to defend your base until you get overrun. Hard Difficulty requires 2000 unit kills, and Normal Difficulty 1500.

Conquer smaller factions close to your borders. If the enemy is blocking your system, it's sometimes wiser to hold fleets in hangars until you manage to assemble appropriate forces.ħ. Installing better modules and hiring heroes can also help. If you need a stronger fleet work on discovering news hip classes or improve the size of the fleet with command points. It really pays off to follow through a single option so make sure to sort the priorities at the beginning of the game, so that you will be able to realize them.Ħ. This may be challenging, but the more often you opt for the same party, the more advanced rewards you'll have access to. Having hard time finding a habitable planet, or struggling with unhappy populations? Work on terraforming technology and improving happiness.ĥ. Your civilization is small and/or isolated? Look into upgrading engines and accessing new methods of travel. If pirates and hostile factions are giving you a hard time - invest your time and resources into industry and weapon modules. You will have to decide which inventions you find more useful pretty early in the game. Colonize planets closer to the capital, which will help them reach the "colony" status sooner.Ĥ. Some of these planets may be home to many anomalies, which may render colonization rather futile. Look for systems that have many habitable planets or that have a lot of resources. More scout ships means more probes - from time to time, send out a fleet of 3 ships commanded by a hero.ģ. If you run out of options, send out probes to discover new constellations. Look for habitable systems that are reach with resources. Exploration - looking for habitable planets and investigating anomalies should be your priority during the initial turns.
