Recently an old friend was talking about how we used to all play SC (a large group of me and my friends) and that a mutual friend could beat 7 computers on BGH with Zerg...
He said it was amazing, so I told him its not that hard, and uploaded a 4 part ~38min video of it to My youtube. It only took me one try with the strategy I eventually used, but I tried several variations of a hyper speed lurker tech that failed (due to sheer numbers taking my shit down even though my lurkers raping 100s of units).
Anyways, I know I didn't play it very well (1000s of min/gas at times, could have expanded asap or whatever), so lets have a little competition here:
RULES:
Must be Single player (no b.net/obs),
Must be Blizzard BGH ONLY,
Must have reps (videos would be better),
Must be random allied computer opponents, (or 7 of 1 race)
Must be on Fastest game speed,
No saving/loading,
No cheat codes,
No hacks,
No "worker luring". WORKER BAITING
(I can't think of anything else atm, but if it seems cheap don't do it, use the honor system here.)
Everything else, short of [some form of] cheating can- and should be used.
(The only acceptable 'abuse' I can think of is to keep restarting the map over and over until you get a start location you want.)
I will try and keep an update here of the Best Times/Strats used for each race.

I think I'll add the other categories of Z vs. all T's & P's, and their counterparts as well.

I'm too lazy to put the links to reps from the latest update. They are on pages 4-6.

Heh. Anyone care to brainstorm strategies for this?
I'm thinking massive turtle/dropship Terran style with AI abuse by completely walling off the entrances. I'm honestly not quite sure how Protoss would do it, but I'd imagine it'd require a lot of storm.

So are all the enemies random race?

Oh, something I just realized:
This would happen back in 1.08 when replays first came out, but replays with computer players in them tend to really fuck up since computer actions aren't recorded (I think). I think what the engine used to do was actually let the computer play a game on its own. I remember looking back at some of my 4v4 comp replays on BGH and noticing that the computers would do different builds each game.
Does that still happen?

I'm feeling forge first mass cannon push with some zealot defense, but then again I probably wont do it very fast
|
this is easy............ lol
|
Com on, this is not a challenge. This is too easy. Comps are stupid. Maybe the hardest one is me been Z vs 7 Protosses but only the first strike and if some of them tech to dark templar its just as easy as the other games. Someone should make a new AI for 1.15.2 that would be fun. Holding mass atacks is not inproving my game.

The challenge is to complete it in the fastest time.
|
terran is really easy... wall off with a bunker and a few tanks -> BCs
toss is slightly harder as cannon wall is weak.. but basically get carriers asap
|
are you allowed to wall/block with scvs?

Evo Chamber wall with sunkens behind?

I don't think luring workers works in single player anyway

Seriously, easiest/fastest strat would probably be to rush the comp next to you, then take an expo and the main you destroyed and just straight tech to carrier/BC/anything with zerg (I'd probably guard/ling). I'm not gonna try though 'cuz I don't feel like playing comps and I suck and some gosu here is probably gonna get a faster time than I'll ever get in my life.

I'll be surprised if a gosu actually does it.

What about beating a lot of protoss AIs who all go 3 gate rush without using worker lure AND without making a wall that messes up unit AI, making them not attack you?
How many can you beat?

Repairing a bunker

I beat Protoss vs 7 Terran, not too hard; just mass Zealot + Carrier + Arbiter and the computers fall pretty easily.
However, this seems certainly like a challenge .. three races .. hmm.

Oh btw Charlie can I just post a replay because my computer is really really shitty and it'll die if I try to play Starcraft with Camtasia or fraps or w/e
