Blizzard introduces us to Hyperion, a new addition to the Starcraft II single player campaign. It explains all the details of enhancing your units, hiring mercenaries, and other cool features.

“After earning enough credits by completing missions, you’ll be able to purchase a wide array of upgrades.”

“Depending on how many different contracts you purchase, you’ll be able to mix and match your available mercenaries however you see fit.”

As you can see on the screenshot to the right you can see the tech purchases that you can equip on your units, which will allow them to gain more power during your conquest. But of course you will be limited to the amount of upgrades you can do per unit (God mode would be too easy).

So with the information given on the Hyperion it does remind me a lot like Warhammer 40k Dawn Of War because they introduced a similar style in their single player gameplay. At least now we know it’s in Starcraft II, which I am most pleased.

You can read up on the full details below.
