Mission 7: The Insurgent

Conditions for winning

• Kill or Mind Control Aldaris

Conditions for losing

• All your structures are destroyed

Once you gain control of your base, expect an onslaught from Archons, Dragoons, and Reavers, so build up your defense on Photon Cannons right away. The Dragoons on the ramps are excellent ways of warning of an impending attack. The computer must attack you through a ledge connected by two bridges. Guard this ridge with cannons, or simply place a Zealot there to warn of an attack. You may get free Archons and Reavers through the Dark Archosn you start out with.

Mine and expand to the northwest when you have a substancial force in Dark Templar, Dragoons and Zealots, if you need the resources. The computer is fairly passive for this mission, so build up 12 Carriers.

Once you have that amount, you can slowly edge them toward the east northern edge of the map. Have Dragoon support if you wish, but the Carriers should be sufficient. Only the High Templar to the east of the northern edge of the map is the real Aldaris, so aim for him. Killing off the other Hallucinations or Mind Controlling them is optional. You can also Mind Control the real Aldaris, but it's not necessary.
