Mission 4: The Liberation of Korhal
Overview
You are to mount a full-scale assault against the UED forces on Korhal, and use a powerful variety of your Zerg forces to decimate the entire enemy presence in the area, including both Terran and enemy Zerg, who often work together.
Possible Expansions
Your starting position will keep you going for a long time, but eventually, you'll wish to expand at least twice. The first likely site, protected by three Bunkers and three Missile Turrets, can be reached by moving down the ramp all the way to the north of your starting location. A force of Hydralisks will be sufficient for clearing the region to make way for your Drones. This area is fairly easy to defend because it is surrounded by cliffs on all three sides. The next expansion is a short distance west, protected by Terran forces in greater number. Guardians will help clear the area of Missile Turrets, Bunkers, and even enemy Sunken Colonies. With your original base and these two expansions, you will amass a huge surplus of resources, such that you will be able to construct as many military units as you need.
Key Points
You should be able to succeed in this mission through sheer numbers, because you'll have a lot of resources available. The key, then, is to know how to manage huge numbers of forces. Research all technologies and fully upgrade weapons and armor, so that you'll be able to use a variety of forces. Expect fierce resistance from the Terrans especially, and be wary of Siege Tanks and Ghosts that will do their worst to destroy your base. Keep Overlords around the perimeter of your base to spot Ghosts, Wraiths, and even enemy Zerg Lurkers. Your Hydralisks and Mutalisks, as always, will cause most of the damage, but you'll also find that Guardians are invaluable, as are Ultralisks, which you will be able to afford in great numbers. Furthermore, this is a perfect opportunity to make good use of the Defiler, whose Dark Swarm can nullify most of the Terrans' defenses. Finally, remember to use Nydus Canals to quickly transport your forces from place to place.
