Played about 4 games, actually lost the first couple games. In one game the AI kept up the pressure after the first couple rushes and eventually wore me down. Another game I actually fell behind economically because the rush I was expecting never came; the AI expanded early and built up an army. My fault for not scouting ( a bad habit I picked up).

The AI still does some weird things like scout worker dancing in front of my base (where it stays in one spot just out of range of troops/defenses and keeps turning, unsure of where to go next). Zerg AI also built several queens to match the number of its hatcheries, but still kept them in one spot.

Still, great job on this version. I had to step up my game, which was nice. And the AI isn't simply using one opening strat (the fast rush). Also, the zerg rush isn't a measly handful of zerglines anymore, it will build up enough of a force to scare a defender (at least it did to me when I first saw it lol).

Thanks for the hard work! It really is appreciated!

stop crying guys, since when its not allowed to say your own opinion? and stop coming with retarded reasoning, it was my opinion yesterday, it doesnt match yours?

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But you seem ungrateful for all the work being put into this project. It's like if you were starving and someone gave you a free dinner. Than you complain there wasn't enough salt.

People are never happy. We were all dying for the beta. When we didn't get in we were dying for a free crack. When we finally got a free crack we were dying to play an ai instead of sandbox mode. When we finally got an ai we were dying for it to be improved.

Just remember we never paid a cent for all this so just be thankful there are people out there willing to put a great amount of effort bringing it to us FOR FREE.

to those that actually are able to play 6.1, can you guys just please answer whether or not this version has notifications that you're playing against 6.1 at the start of the game?

just answer this simple question and we'll never bother you again, it's that simple

I get the notification "Starcrack 6.1 - Standard Edition" in white letters on the left side, mid lower part of the screen.

Can't believe the nerve of some people to complain about something that is essentially free. Just be glad to actually be playing sc2 in any form, people!

I'm quite happy with the latest AI version.  I play random (no choice cuz I go with whatever the map gives at the start lol), so my experience with AI matchups changes from game to game. Some games were notoriously easy, others were unexpectedly hard. Either way I'm getting trained in SC2 and familiarizing myself with the units and hotkeys and stuff, so big win!

First of all thank you so much for all your work. I've been dying to try out sc2 beta for a while and this gets me a chance to get familiar with the game.

Here's my experience with the latest AI 5.5.  I notice that the AI (as zerg, protoss or terran) will launch several attacks early on, wave after wave (this has made me lose my first few games). But once I got more experience with the game I was able to beat back these attacks and proceed to easily finish the AI because it simply didn't generate the same amount of troops it did in the beginning.

I'll play a few more games to see if it repeats this pattern.
