The Zakat Chronicles:

The Zakat Chronicles are 5 Singleplayer Zerg missions where you play as Cerebrate Zakat, Kerrigan's new strike force commander. Taking place after the end of Brood Wars, Kerrigan seeks to further establish her stranglehold on the Koprulu sector, and to not only decimate her enemies but demonstrate her powers by creating unusually powerful new soldiers.

Each mission demands nonstop action. For mission 1, you might want to save after each sub-mission. For others, like Mission 3, you might need to replay after you've gotten a sense of the mission to achieve victory.

In Mission 1, you must pass Kerrigan's 6 tests, demonstrating your capacities to defeat superior forces; inspired by "Impossible Scenarios" but slightly more simple to introduce the series to new players.

Mission 2: http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/8084/mission2cz6.th.jpg

In Mission 2, you go to the icy moon of Nova-IV, where General Benedict has fortified himself in an icy cave. Use your lurker forces to break through the enemy garrison, and when you reach him, make him part of the swarm.

Mission 3: http://img104.imageshack.us/img104/2646/mission3pv8.th.jpg

In Mission 3, Benedict's crysalis has been sieged by a rogue cerebrate. You must use your elite zergling and hydralisk heroes to break through past nefarious zerg traps, and perhaps some other enemy, too--but hurry, because time will soon run out.

Mission 4: http://img340.imageshack.us/img340/7391/objectivesic7.th.jpg

In Mission 4, you are to take out Cerebrate Kirin, who controls not only his own swarm but the research projects he was working on as well. Maka Zulu, the protoss archon who gained control of Kirin, will see you dead.

Mission 5: http://img101.imageshack.us/img101/6858/mission5cd1.th.jpg

While you were taking out Cerebrate Kirin, protoss and terran forces made a sneak attack on Cerebrate Kull! Keep Cerebrate Kull alive until your strike forces can reinforce him and take the enemy out!

[Revised from previous version; cut other missions where gameplay was less fluid or exciting.]

Mission 1 added seperately with slightly slower mission briefing times.

it was kinda fun, but there was no way that I could get past the marine and ling part in mission one. My lings got toasted before I even killed 3 marines.

Also, you should add the "Display Speaking Portrait" in the mission briefings for all of the missions, not just the last two or whatever. And the briefing for the first mission was a bit too fast. Add like 10 more seconds onto it or something.

The ling part of mission one is probably the hardest of the mission; there's a few ways to beat it. Try running to the beacon at the very start, burrowing, and waiting until the entire patrol goes past and there's just 1-2 stragglers at the end. Kill those, burrow again, and pick them off a few at a time until you win.

Thanks for the note on the briefing.
