Mission 10: Omega
Overview
In the final battle to assert Kerrigan's supreme rule, you must defend your position from Arcturus Mengsk's forces from the west, Admiral DuGalle's forces from the northeast, and Praetor Artanis' forces from the southeast, and eventually gather up a massive combined military with which you'll pulverize all three enemies.
Possible Expansions
There are many resource nodes in this mission, but few that are immediately accessible. An unoccupied resource node exists south of your starting position, and you can simply walk a Drone to it and expand there fairly early in the battle. Another resource node can be found to the north, but it is protected by Missile Turrets and a small garrison, and is a fairly long walk from your main base. Another resource node can be found a long way east of that one, just south of DuGalle's UED forces. Yet another undefended resource node can be found nestled all the way in the northwest corner of the map, between Mengsk and DuGalle's forces. These stashes of resources should be more than enough to see you through this mission, but should you need more, you'll find isolated minerals and Vespene Gas geysers all along the southern edge of the map, in Artanis' territory.
Key Points
There is a certain simplicity about this mission, in that you will have a fair sense, from the beginning, as to what you can expect: That is, everything the Terrans and the Protoss have to offer. The fighting will be very fierce, but fortunately, your enemies will not coordinate their attacks very carefully, letting you deal with their bases one at a time. It is essential that you use combined arms as you fight, because the Hydralisk won't get you through this battle by itself. You may be able to get away with using an air force exclusively. Furthermore, concentrate on eliminating one of your three foes at a time, rather than whittling away at each. It is prudent to try to take down Artanis first, because then at least you will only face one type of enemy for the remainder of the mission. If you attack him early on with swarms of Hydralisks and Zerglings, you can eliminate his forces before they develop such powerful technologies as Psionic Storm and Maelstrom.
