Mission 7: The Insurgent
Overview
With the help of Dark Archons and their Feedback and Mind Control abilities, you must fight your way past enemy Protoss, taking command of their strongest units, including Archons, Carriers, and Arbiters. You must eventually expand to the middle of the map in preparation to finally defeat the Judicator Aldaris who resides to the far north, past substantial Protoss defenses.
Possible Expansions
There are undefended resource nodes located north and west of your starting position, along the eastern and western borders of the map, respectively. The northeastern node is easy to defend with Photon Cannons because it lies on high ground, so you should expand there first. Eventually, you'll find another resource node in the center of the map, protected by four Photon Cannons and a small garrison. You'll also want to expand there once you eliminate the defenders. Between these three resource points, you will have more than enough minerals and Vespene Gas with which to complete the mission; consider the southwestern expansion optional, since even two expansions should be plenty.
Key Points
You cannot build Arbiters or High Templars in this scenario, but you can Mind Control the enemy's. You'll find Aldaris in three locations on the map. The northernmost Aldaris is real, whereas the other two are hallucinations. Concentrate only on reaching your true target, which can be instantly defeated with Mind Control. You'll face High Templars later in the mission. Though Mind Control is a tempting solution, you're better off killing them with Feedback, since you'll have little use for Psionic Storm. Dark Archons will prove invaluable throughout this mission; you'll want to amass as many as you can, and you should quickly research the Argus Talisman to boost their energy. Maelstrom and Mind Control have already been researched for your convenience.
