I managed to beat seven computers vs one, playing Terran, Melee, Brood Wars, in just over an hour today (one hour, 25 seconds). Here's the proof:

Woot woot. My new record. :D

Anyone got any better? You'll need to provide both a screenshot of the finish and a saved replay of the game for me to be convinced. There's a 2L bottle of coke in it for you if you can beat that time! :D

Edit: {

Additional Conditions:

1) Must use "Big Game Hunters" map.

2) No cheats of any description.

3) Any team is permitted, but Terran preferred.

4) All computer opponant's teams must be left as they are: IE no all Zerg computers.

Because it gets boring quickly.
Will come back to it once I have had a good break.

I'm playing through the single-player campaigns at the moment. It's a good idea to do that as it teaches you each races strengths and weaknesses.

While I'll probably pick one race and specialise, knowing your enemy is important. You can optimise your defense against their strengths and optimise your attacks against their weaknesses.

I'm not good enough at War III to talk about that right now.

ATM, I'm waiting for SperO to get home from the LAN, slap me for challenging her and then wipe out seven computers in 50 minutes.. :P

C'mon. Is there anyone out there that can kill those compy's faster then me? There's gotta be..

Quote from Wolfspirit:
Terran preferred.

At first i was impressed then this,

Sounds like to me ur using an ultra gay exploit of the inadiqacies of computer AI

Computer wont attack supply depots cause they dont attack - just make sure there are no other targets within enemy range (giving them a reason to destroy the depots) That way u can spend a long time building up air defence and large armies and cause its big game hunters u dont have to worry bout running out of resources.

Ill be impressed if u could do this in normal hunters :)
oh, i was also the one that nailed u with the reaver rush :)

At first, I shunned this tactic, thinking that yeah I was exploiting a hole in the computer AI... yet, the tactic is actually described in the Starcraft: Battlechest Tactics book, which is offical from Starcraft, and also within the Starcraft startup tips:

So, I don't feel bad about it.

P.S. I still have angry thoughts at night and in the mornings about you. Reaver rushes... You shall die, aye, yes, a terrible death. Truely terrible. You'll be on CNN for sure.

Screw the tactics, I'm impressed!

"theres no difficulty setting"

open the map in map editor change the scenario options to "zerg campaign nightmare", set them to "strategic suicide missions", then save the map under another name, and see how you go, its alot of fun, a mate of mine in kalgoorlie and i play it all the time once you play with the map editor it can become a carnage fest really quick, we teamed up against six "nightmare suicidal" opponents once and had two siege tanks each with over 200 kills and multiple others with over 100 kills,

but yeah its an awesome game cant wait ofr starcraft 2.

Post 13

terren are the best... just get a few tanks and whore the other team with them :O

Post 14
