  • The bridge in A Sinister Turn extends either at a certain time (3:30?) or when 5 units are produced - and it counts units the AI makes, so it trips early because you used the DTs to kill a bunch of Tal'darim in the right base and then the AI replaced them, setting off the trigger. I figured this from copying the strategy from the 'hard difficulty without producing units' speedrun on youtube for the 'Hurry up it's raid night' achievement and because the Zeratul missions are kinda shit so I like to just get them out of the way ASAP.

    • you're gonna be in for a treat though. Grant has been doing a "community challenge run" of wings of liberty and twitch chat is not kind. The rules are as follows: Every story arch twitch chat gets to ban 2 units ( except for the 1st arch which only has 1 unit ban) Twitch chat chooses Grant's research and mission order every mission, twitch chat comes up with and votes on some sort of challenge. this can be anything, and is only limited bytwitch chat's willingness to watch the same stupid mission for 2 hours (outbreak, moving out only at night, with hellions, hellbats and medics is not easy)
