Evolution mission: Ultralisk

Before you start, pick Kerrigan's abilities. What you need is: kinetic blast, psionic shift, autonomous extractors, healing, twin drones, effectiveness and apocalypse. Of course, you can experiment with different abilities, but this is one of the most effective combinations that you can create. Not only does it allow you to fight the enemy, but also to increase the longevity of your forces, thanks to healing, and to increase the speed that the minerals and the gas are mined with.

The mission starts with the typical base development. You create drones, build extractors. The hardcore of your army is going to consist of hydralisks and roaches; you need to build the right buildings. It is necessary that you also build an additional evolution chamber. I also recommend that you create a group of 10-15 mutalisks for the bile launcher's protection.

The first one of the throwers is going to land in [X1]. You can also move your army there and wait for the creature to arrive, while developing your base. After you repel the Terran attack, you can move your forces to [X2] and wait for the next thrower - it is enough to leave 6 hydralisks and 6 roaches here, and Kerrigan will be able to keep exploring the map.

You set out to the west. In [1] you will encounter a Dominium base that is protecting a considerable deposit of minerals. You can eliminate it quickly (Kerrigan, 6 hydralisks and 6 roaches will deal with it without any problems) and build your next outpost here. A bit further to the north, there is the first one of the three gates of Augustgrad [A]. destroying it will be a step towards the Death Start achievement.

In the meantime, you should secure another landing site [X3]. You can move some of your troops here from [X1] and [X2] and leave the 15 mutalisks you created earlier, as a reserve. You should gather some more units and launch an attack on the Terran base [2]. You need to be careful here, as there is a planetary fortress here that is capable of wounding the ground units. After you clear the area, also here you can start a new hatchery.

It is the time now to destroy another gate of Augustgrad. You need to reach [B] and destroy all the Terran units and fortifications on your way. Since the defense is very poor, the entire operation should take no longer than a minute and a half.

You can now go to [X4] - the area should be cleared already, so the only thing to do here is leave several units and go to [C] - the last gate of Augustgrad. Since there is quite a number of anti aircraft turrets here, the ground attack is going to be the best option. After you set the way open for the rest of your forces, you will be able to retreat and focus on protecting the bile launchers. The last one will land in [X5]. In the meantime, you can destroy the terran out post in [3] (if you haven't yet).

The bile launchers will destroy the orbital cannon. Now there is a new objective for you - you need to destroy two Dominium bases in [4] and [5], in the corner of the map. It is enough for all of the units on the map (you will receive additional reinforcements from Leviathan) to launch an attack. It also is a perfect situation to make use of your strongest abilities like apocalypse. With 15 hydralisks, 15 roaches and several ultralisks, you should be able to annihilate all Terrans and finish the mission.
