I wonder, is there any good build order or strategy, preferable Protoss to beat Insane AI without exploiting its flaw or cheese? In normal or macro game, they are so hard to beat. One silly mistake can cost my entire game.

Need help from the expert in this forum.

straight up fight? micro and macro hard lol.

protoss is the easiest...do your normal stuff but make 1 more forge. means, gateway, cyber, forge, put cannon on high ground to help defend against the super early imbalance push.

then just expand into 2 base, as long as you get ur collosus deathball, A move... easiest race ever.

i like how you put it replay pls

Tried and failed. perhaps I missed something? Care to elaborate it more?

pretty easy to beat insane zerg as long u have good forcefields and transition to colo/ blink stalkers...
the goal is to use the FF to negate their economy advantage early game till u get ur blink stalkers...
from there, make ur stalkers as cost effective as possible...

insane terran is much harder as u would need to do constant tech switches (between colo and HTs) and keep ur macro up all the time to keep warp-ins constant...
i had like a 30min game on shakuras PvT in the past vs insane AI lol...
tat was one of the most fun i had vs AI...

just make sure u got 1 zealot/marine/zerglings at AI base
when u almost lose at clash~ just use that unit attack AI base they sure fall back~ abuse it~

"
dun play like tat la LOL...

anyways i find the best AI to train on is green tea's AI

i saved the file, but i dno why its in SC2save format :^) anyone know to deal with it?

anyway, i did that lying on my bed, playing with laptop and a mouse while skyping wif my gf. protoss is my weakest race, apm at most 60 lol. but it was ezpz not even a second in danger. had 2 base, 4 warp gate 1 robo. upgrade 1-1 push out.

finish in 20 min i think? not too sure just a 2 base timing.

sc2 is played by abusing it at all mean~ abuse every of ur opponent weaknesses

here it is

http://sc2rep.com/replays/%28P%29Guest+1_v..._20110830/13002

18 minutes

What do people talk about when they skype with gf? any diff with webcam?

well, my friend skypes his gf as long as they are both online, they never talk, just video call each other and they do their own stuff in front of their comp, i was in his room borrowing his comp to play dota, and his gf could look at me the whole time while i was swearing (luckily he had his audio mute to the caller)

Well, I know that, but don't you think it completely kill the purpose of playing against AI.



I heard about these maps before. Where can I find Green AI maps? There are so many of them and I don't know which of them are legit one. Plus, which difficulty do you use?

Seriously, why can they create a very good AI maps without giving them extra resources or other advantages?



Saw it, and it is different from what I played against them. In my game against Insane AI, they always go for early roach rush before 6 minutes, which I have a hard time to defend it. Anyways, it is a good replay.

Added on August 30, 2011, 9:29 pmthe timing is about 5 min 30 sec, its concept is actually pretty much the same. this game, i was simply playing, you can realize that i dun need that cannon up so early you can use that money to build earlier gate, earlier nexus.... just rmb to place ur cannon at high ground, about 1 stalker and 3 cannon at 5 min 15 sec on high ground can assure you will be safe. then the next big push is about 9-11 minute, the later the stronger. keep on make stalker like me, then 1 collosus will pop out if you rush to collo nicely.

I tried, not hard if u can macro

try discord IV, use terran,

12 barrack (non stop marines)
bunker to hold first push
tanks for second push

and then just tank push

I guess it is easy for Terran. As protoss, it is quite difficult to hold the super imbalance push from insane AI, especially when against Terran and Protoss. Forcefield the ramp don't always work as there is a small chance that the computer will get medivacs and collosus into their army compositions.

EDIT: Now I have no problem fighting Insane AI zerg, however I still can't beat Protoss and Terran Insane AI. Any good strategy to share?

straight up fight, not abusing. mind you.

the day i wont abuse AI is the day when blizzard remove marine and mules from sc2

tried it just now, 101% work if u can hide the zealot properly

mass siege tanks, works for me

but dun get caught off guard by ambush when u switch tank mode and siege mode. the cost is deadly.
