Not enough Pylons / [Guide] - 7m30s Thor Timed Push!
April 02, 2010, 09:28:55 PM
I'm mostly looking for feedback with this setup, but since I can't post my own topic on Team Liquid for another 3 days I figure I'd give you gentlemen dibs.  :-\

I recommend just checking out the attached replay first, but the text  form of the build is below to if you want to skim it or run the short  video:

-=Instructions for Attached Replay=-

  The replay requires that you replace your "Base.SC2Data" File with the one that comes with Strategy AI 0.22
 
 
Backup a copy of your original  "Base.SC2Data" file if you haven't already so you can view official  replays later by switching it back.
 
 
The path to the Base by default is "*\StarCraft II Beta\Mods\Liberty.SC2Mod\Base.SC2Data"

If you don't have authentication setup to just open the Beta to use Blizzard's UI for replays I recommend Valkirie's
Starcracft II - Beta Launcher V0.28 to view the replay or to play offline against the above AI package like I did to make the replay.

Other Notes:

This clubbed to death every AI I've tried against so far. . .
If you are worried about Banshie / DT / Muta Cheese then save a mule or set up an Eng Bay & Turrets before you leave your base instead of a starport  (Starport is good against Void Rays and Tanks though)
Pure Stimmed Marauders, Storm, and Burrowed Banelings might also be a problem, but I don't have a key to get online and test this for real =/
Also. . .I know my replay is 5 seconds off. . . I macroed the theorycraft as best I could, but I'm only human. . .

Lastly. . . if someone could convert this into a Terran AI or tell me how to do it myself I would be honored to test it out that way.

/Enjoy

I have the Starcraft II - Beta Launcher.exe (Ver 0.28) and love it, but wanted to try out Ghost / Auir / Strategy AI so I DLed SC2Launcher.exe (Ver 2.3.1) which supports them.

I've been able to get replays from online beta like the recent TL Invitation to work and also have gotten my own replays with AI supported in Starcraft II Beta Launcher to work, but have no absolutely no luck trying to get the other AI to replay. . .

All I'm getting is "Unable to open map"

Any thoughts?

I've tried placing the renamed maps in the 00/11 cache folder, but this only seems to crash SC2 so I had to revert it.
