AchieveCraft #3 - House Call
In this series of StarCraft II blog articles, we will explore some of the more challenging and unusual StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty solo play achievements.
While Dr. Hanson desperately tries to find a cure for the zerg infestation, your terran forces are compelled to deal with the rapidly-spreading infection on Haven. It’s a Catch-22 situation: To ensure victory, you want to focus on the incoming zerg forces and strike their bases. But to earn the House Call achievement, you must “complete the Haven’s Fall mission with five settlements protected on Hard difficulty.”
The settlements are scattered afield and come under attack by the zerg infesters at a rate of one every five minutes or so. You have two fronts to protect, but only a handful of different units to work with. At this point in the campaign, you only have a limited factory, starport, barracks, and mercenary compound (if you’ve been hiring mercs).
How will you deal with being spread so thin?
