Let me preface this by saying I am very appreciative of your work and enjoy it immensely.
My experience thus far has been that the standard edition is way too easy for me. And for the most part the cheating version doesn't put up much of a fight either. However there is one exception to this rule involving the cheating version.
I absolutely cannot win a PvP game with the cheating AI. They rush so incredibly hard with zealots every time that it really just cannot be stopped. Due to the fact they have so much resources it's really impossible to stop them unless you wall your self in with cannons. Doing so puts you at a huge disadvantage and they usually have so many units by the time you get carriers or dark templars(try and strangle their resources) that there is just no chance of winning. Even using other races it's still quite difficult and I haven't really beaten them too often. Zerg is my most common race to beat them with because you can trick the AI into countering you a certain way. If you get enough roaches at the beginning of the game they're going to get multiple colossi and immortals. If you switch to hydras and infesters(to take over colossi) then you'll have a shot at winning. Terran I have won by getting a whole lot of marines, medivacs and a couple battle ships. Or if you can get them to rush you while blocking off and counter really fast you have a shot. But for the most part they seem pretty impossible to beat with the amount of units they can just pump out.
For some reason every other race is really easily beaten even with the cheating AI, but I just don't see how the protoss can be stopped with the huge resource gain and that caliber of rushing. You have to remain on the defensive for such a long period of time that you just get behind.
Has anyone figured out any good strats against the Protoss(the cheating AI of course).
A good stalker rush can stop the zealots if you micro correctly and zap the zealots, but then there will be 10 immortals in your base a minute later.
