If i complete the campaign, do i need to go and staart again to get achievments or can i just go back and do the odd mission?

You can get most achievements by replaying missions, either by loading a saved game or replaying the mission in the archives. There are a few exceptions though (e.g. the 8-hour campaign speed-run).
 
can anyone give some tips how to finish the last compain mission. I did the ani air mission before so i have to deal with those worms and they just overwhelm me.

paying on normal.

Last level took me 2 goes on normal, the 2nd go i finished with the relic thing on about 5% health, it actually was gone in the cutscene but it counted. I put defenses up fast, 4 bunkers on each side and ended up with about 8 siege engines per side. I filled the rest of my 200 count with ships, a few BC and science vessels. Make sure to have scvs on the sides to repair things. Only use the relic pulse if the swarms are about to breach your defenses. Oh and i scattered air turrets all over the shop
 
Well depending on what tech you went for with toss and zerg, I just placed loads of bunkers (with increased capacity and auto turrets), flamer turrets and the zerg slowing towers on each of the entry points and spammed Cruisers because I took out the worms with a few thors each side. Worked really well on hard.

If I had taken out the flyers I would probably have spammed more Thors instead of cruisers, with the auto repair upgrade they are disgusting.

Wow is all i can say, i got a guestpass from welshdragon and ive been trying to make the 7 hours last but at the same time trying to understand the mechanics behind it all, and im hooked, but the price of the game is putting me off, but ill most likely fold and buy it.
Very addictive and quite challenging at the same time.

They seem to be fine for me, playing some really good players in Diamond!

i'm sorry but banshees are just plain overpowered (i'm a platinum protoss.)

so, ok. They do insane damage to ground units and buildings.

They attack in packs of more than 3-4 normally.

They kill stalkers easily.

They kill cannons easily.

They can CLOAK

Stick 1 raven in the mix, they snipe your observer.

They totally screw your economy.

The terran player just sits back and turtles, techs up to battlecruisers, while you are pinned down running to and from your expansions and main defending against these banshees.

you are forced to build lots of cannons (150 minerals each) or lots of observers (100 minerals/100 gas) and even with observers, the banshees can just see the cloaked outline, and attack somewhere else.

If you want observer speed to follow the banshees, you need to build a robotics bay (200 minerals / 200 gas) and get observer speed (I think 150 minerals/150 gas).

When you have a robo bay, you wanna be getting thermal lance for your collosi, not ****ing observer speed!

And how the hell are you supposed to afford any of this, when they are happily weaving in and out sniping probes?

And finally, if somehow you survive the banshee attack, you have a fleet of 30 battlecruisers knocking on your front door 30 seconds later.

It's just ****ing ridiculous, Sure I might not be WhiteRa, but still, every game I play against a terran, I can't go stargates or templars first, I ALWAYS have to go robotics because of the ****ing banshee harrass.

WHAT DO I DO?

P.S: Please don't call me a noob, i'm really not. if I don't see a banshee, I hardly ever lose to Terran. I similarly win most games against zerg and protoss, and my win/loss ratio is close to 2:1.

if you gave them enough time to get 3-4 banshees, buy yourself a pheonix or two. or just more stalkers and an observer :)

Not a fan of going Banshee vs protoss to be honest, you leave yourself open to early pushes from stalkers/zea. i much prefer going MM, Tank, Ghost. seems much more stable.

I'm so tempted to buy this, it sounds awesome! Only problem is I've never been much of an RTS gamer and going online with them scares me. :(

Just jump in and have some fun :). Battle.net is designed to push you towards a 1:1 win:lose ratio regardless of your skill.

Put up some solid defences at each of the choke points (3 or 4 full bunkers, and 3+ siege tanks) to deal with the majority of the forces.

For the Nydas worms, you need to take them out quickly. If you have time, you can build up a 'fleet' or 6 or 7 battlecruisers that will decimate them quickly. Otherwise, a few banshees should do the trick. Make sure you head in and kill them as soon as they appear (have your anti-worm battlegroup hotkeyed).

On normal, that's pretty much all there is to it...
