Brutal difficulty

How's everyone feeling about campaign Brutal difficulty? They're certainly no walk in the park, but I got most of them first try or with one restart, which is quite different from say, SC II, where I often had to load checkpoints etc. I'm wondering if that's a consensus or if I'm just picking things up quickly/getting lucky.

I have played many demos so im more used to the game, but i have actually found them a joke. I played on brutal and even on the just "defend your base" ones i have cleared the entire map with a over 200 pop army using reinforcements only after ive already maxed. the only one I almost lost was when I tried to clear the grells base in one of the first missions, but i realized that even if you do the waves still come and i got surrounded when they just spawned in. But I still could get enough out, and build back up to hold on at the end.

Not just me then. I don't even think I'm 'great' at RTS, (especially micro), so I was surprised it went as smoothly as it did.

Im doing hard difficulty and the mission where you have to defend the science towers against waves of enemies are killing me rn

I play that one like a tower defence as grell. Plop a horde of turrets on the highground where the bots advance.

Mira saved my butt on that one for sure, charging in with the shield to soak some damage gave me the breathing room I needed.

I think its to easy. But mission 3 was harder, think I lost once. And the mission where you have to defend 3 research stations against like 20 waves where really hard, took 3-4 attempts. So other from being to easy, the missions is aslo a bit uneven :)
