AI Mods Discussion (Turdburgler/StarCrack Devs AI mods)

creamsoda · February 27, 2010, 06:28:12 PM

I just installed the Turd AI mod, (which was stated to be a bit harder). But now everytime I startup a game, some annoying messages show up during the game, and it's really annoying.

So what's the difference between the Turd AI and the Default? (besides the fact that the Turd AI is supposed to be "harder").

I havent noticed any significant change after testing it 2-3 times. Same build patterns, but annoying messages. Go back to the original.

Another mod was released awhile ago, and it's supposed to be "medium" difficulty.

I just tested it out, and it's at least better than the default, and there is no annoying messages this time.

When I start a game with the "Medium" ai. Everybody starts with two town halls and twice the number of workers. Anyone have any idea what might be going on?

its a little better than at first i was shock seeing stalker very early but still quite easy after breaking those 3 unit combination all done. i guess they should work on more unit production specially early units and maybe harass if they can.

ok, another AI mod got released, StarCrack's AI mod v3.0

WOW, what a huge improvement on the AI! This one is actually really nice.

The version 3 is the default game, but with harder AI. If you want more challenge, take the second version (cheat/APM), I recommend it.

More APM means the computer will do more things at the same time, thus having a better macro and micro over his units. Cheating probably means that they have more minerals, construct faster or train units faster (like insane computers in most games).

I recommend the last one if you desire a bit more challenge without being impossible to beat

Are u sure about this? I tried both, and I believe the Starcrack v3.0 is HARDER than the Unsupported "AI cheating" version.

In the Starcrack v3.0 AI, the comps actually micro'ed their units, and attacked my base.

Noriym · February 28, 2010, 02:36:54 AM

Just tried the cheat/APM one and got rolled by the AI!

AI came with mass Mutas and Hydras about 7 min in or so. I think I may of had a chance if knew ahead of time but damn, was not expecting it to be so aggressive.

dodongbadong · February 28, 2010, 03:01:32 AM

hmmm where can i get that cheat/apm ai?

i played starcrack 3.0 and man so awesome ai does micro his mutas and make a decent amount of unit, though i think he is not really harasing immediately he stays on his ramp gathering all his unit there after few min. he started attcking and boom i was almost got owned. but i got tanks and bunker that time so ai no chance but really good attack though

hehehe

i want to try the apm and cheating ai where can i get that?
