I'm pretty sure this goes over most people's heads (at least the beginners), but don't forget that you guys are playing normal speed as default.

I hadn't realized, but the pace of the game is ridiculously fast when set to 'faster'.

Anyway, thought I'd bring it to your attention.

I always played at "faster" but its still too easy. I guess the AI have its limits. To play the beta without a key is already a great achievement, even if there isn't multiplayer.

hi guys, i reinstalled my starcraft 2 beta recently and it updated to the latest patch (4th one, the one that says "korea"). after bypassing the login using the SWF folder and replacing the cache, it still says files are missing. replays used to work before i reinstalled.

is it because i need new cache files? was trying to watch the PlayXP Invitational replays.

suggestion: try not walling against a comp? 

I was just doing what I normally do in a real game. Don't really find it purposeful to deviate from it when playing against the computer. I play the AI with the goal of practicing for 1v1.

Another Suggestion

I don't know if its possible but maybe make the computer consider dropping or air attacks when the direct route is blocked?

Game 3 - Terran vs AI Protoss, Lost Temple.

The protoss went 3 gate zealot rush with an impressive amount of zealots! Too bad it once again took terrible damage from reaper rushing and I was walled in with marauders/reapers behind. Went MMM again and wiped the computer easily.

Suggestion:

Is it possible to make the AI prepare for or counter reaper rushing? They can't really survive versus Terran because they can't handle reapers.

The non-cheating AI is very weak but this could be the limit of an AI. However, the "back and forth" problem is gone...or I think its gone. I used to play the cheating AI because it was more challenging but the cheating AI forces me to turtle, something I will never do in a normal game, because I know it has more resources and hence will beat me in a straight up numbers match.

Game 1 - Terran vs AI Zerg, Lost Temple

I wall up as usual and went reaper rush then Marines/Marauders/Medivacs (MMM). The Zerg sent lings to attack my wall but it was easily fend off with 0 losses by the mass of marines and reapers behind it. Harassed the Zerg base when I have 4-6 Reapers and found it was very easy to do terrible damage to its economy and buildings, taking out the queen in the process too. Then MMM overran the AI from the front.

Not sure why but I can't view replays. I think I won in less than 15 mins? Extremely easy. The AI can't even handle a small reaper rush and didn't make any significant attacks against me.

Game 2 - Terran vs AI Terran

I wall up, rushed reapers as usual and AI defended his main with his army. So I went tanks and waited for his army to leave his base then did terrible damage to his economy while his Marine/Marauders crashed into my siege tanks.Extremely easy kill. But this AI is an amazingly improvement over the original "Very Easy" AI that came with the Beta. Good job!
