EPTI also recall going to http://www.entropyzero.org/BroodwarAI.html and trying that, but if I don't recall if they were any better than regular AI. Still seemed rather bad I think. It might be easier to use those AIs though.

This might be bad if you then play few multiplayer games and get to the point where you expect your units to react faster than they will. Yeah I forgot to mention this. Single player has different latency than LAN. If you are playing vs a computer- you should select "Local Area Network (UDP)" from the multiplayer menu so your practice is basically the same thing as ICCUP lan latency. | ||

 Of course I have read your suggestion to ask in simple question thread, and I will try to search a thread next time, but it turns out to be more of a simple answer thread at least, doesn't it.

They don't have opponents so you can test stuff without being bothered. http://depositfiles.com/files/i2c661m04 Thanks, btw I have also read one of your other help threads ( remember your name ;o), very useful (I didn't reply there) By the way: I have also read the other useful vs AI comments and your experiences, I appreciate it. thanks | ||

It's how I went from a good foreigner to one of the best of my time. Every tournament where I got a good result involved the use of this practice technique for some key victories. | ||

Check out this custom AI's http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/brood-war/46293-bw-ai-project-gosu-update Some of them decent and really hard. Maybe this won't help you with strategies but help a lot with macro/micro abilites because enemy gonna swarm you up pretty bad. After that you can go to Battle.net East/West (or even Asia which is a little bit harder and alive) and play billion games of BGH, LT or w/e you want if you can host. All players there are D-/D/D+ level, no high skillers but just playing for fun. When you feel you are ready after practice, maybe a month or so you can quickly start wining games on iCCup or even Fish. Don't give up pal. this thread linked to an outdated page without download link  can you reupload it? | ||

If you watch vods and get a decent understanding of how the dynamics of a match up ought to work--which obviously the ai will not reflect in game-- you can use the ai simply to train your hands to move faster, hit all the timings for common builds and things like that. When I was a much worse player I used to use some more advanced ai scripts while trying to force myself to keep a minimum apm and holding myself to a certain 'bank' threshold. Like, keep my apm up to 100 and never go over 500 min/500 gas. It can only take you so far obviously but it shouldnt be undervalued. Hello, i'm "new" to this game and I wondered if training vs CPU is effective? what game mode can you recommend, 1v1, 1v2, 1v3 etc, a special map? to become a little better | ||
