I played some Among Us with friends today, which cut into the time I had for Starcraft a little bit, but I did at least settle my score with the Hard AI. I noticed that it wasn't very aggressive last time I played and used that to my advantage by going for three bases and building a large force over time. I used a lot of Zealots since they're the only Protoss unit that only consumes minerals, and otherwise built Stalkers, Void Rays, and eventually some Colossi. It ended up in a base race situation once I launched my attack, but my force was stronger and wiped out the enemy base a little faster. I think I only had one probe at the end of the game but one was enough to build a new Nexus and the AI had nothing left to work with.

I also completed one mission on the campaign, where you have to choose between helping the established character of Tosh or a newly introduced Ghost called Nova. I sided with Nova mostly because you get the Ghost unit for doing so, which I prefer to the Spectre. They're almost exactly the same except that the Ghost has a sniper rifle and the Spectre uses a stun grenade. Generally I favor simplicity when I pick my upgrades in this game, and it's easier to just use a DPS unit than an active ability requiring specific timing. Likewise, I bought the upgrade for the Ghost that lets them stealth without consuming energy, since it means you don't have to worry about managing when to use stealth and when to hold it, and can just leave it on all the time.

The actual mission has no production and is kind of restrictive as a result. It's one of those cases where a strategy game kind of resembles a puzzle game. You have to find the right order of operations to get by with the limited units you have, which mostly entails taking out priority targets with your permanently stealthed hero unit in Nova or using her mind control ability on particular units. Through that second thing, you get a chance to try out the Zerg Ultralisks and the more advanced Thor, so that part was kind of cool.
