Mission 3: The Kel-Morian Combine
Overview
Your mission is complete once you gather 10,000 minerals. This would be easy were it not for the fact that the area is heavily defended by a substantial Terran presence, which will take every opportunity to attack you. To complete your goal, you will have to build at least two expansion bases after you've fortified your starting position.
Possible Expansions
You'll find plenty of minerals on high ground to the east of your first base, defended by Goliaths, Missile Turrets, and Bunkers. Hydralisks can get there and eliminate the garrison via a ramp just south of your Vespene Gas geyser. A similarly defended mineral patch, along with another Vespene Gas geyser, can be found just northwest of your main base, but this region is inaccessible by ground. Claim it as soon as you've upgraded your Overlords for speed and transporting. These two expansions should be just enough for you to fill your quota if you spend frugally, but should you require more minerals, your best bet is to claim the well-fortified Terran base north of your second expansion.
Key Points
If you infest any Terran Command Centers with your Queens during this mission, you will have their support in the subsequent scenario. Do not take this objective too seriously, though, since Infested Terrans are not terribly useful. You'll find this mission much simpler if you defend yourself as you gather resources, rather than go hunting for Terrans. You'll face plenty of infantry, as well as Goliaths and Wraiths. You'll find that Guardians, Sunken Colonies, and Hydralisks can aptly defend against these forces. Queens are a good investment as well, since their Spawn Broodlings can kill enemy tanks easily.
