Remember to get 3/3 as this helps alot. Replay of the game: [url blocked] Hope its there, (first time i use megaupload). The map has to be Lava Flows and you are pretty screwed if u dont get spawned next to one of the islands, so just load the scvs in and float to the island Good Luck! | ||

Took me 2 or 3 tries but floating to the island and building straight BCs works well. It helps if you make the comps all Z and T - if you have a P player they will blink to the island and pwn you | ||

Just make a cannon wall and mass carriers, haha. Its like 1998 SC1 all over again! Terran tends to mass a TON of marauders and tanks, with only a few marines and a couple vikings. It makes the carriers very effective. I made 6 carriers on one base (with damage upgrades) and was able to kill a 2-base and a 3-base insane T with near maxed armies in one push. All the other comps had already killed themselves off, GG. | ||

Same here, done it 3 times so far, but no achievement. Pretty annoying, everything seems to be right. Edit: Figured it out, you have to go to multiplayer page, then create custom game, etc. etc. I (and probably corn) was going through the single player page. | ||

I did this, I beat all 7 AI, I get out of the game, and I don't got the achievement? I have a little gold star next to the achievement on the list (like gold star and +1) and I can't figure this out. What the heck? I want my portrait v-v | ||

REPLAY FYI: you need to do it in multiplayer custom game (not singleplayer) to get the portrait (achievements)! | ||

After my warp prism is done, I take both islands, build 5-7 cannons in each around the edges, and just mass carrier/mothership SC1-style. Attack move after I have even a small force of carriers will clean up since Zerg will still be heavy roach with a few hydra and few if any air units. You don't particularly need upgrades, don't really need the mothership, etc... The only two real challenges: 1. Survive until you get your warp prism. This is not a big deal if you just make sure to build your forge and cannons early. 2. Get to both islands. You should have no trouble getting to the island closest to your base. For the other one, be sure to skirt the edges of the map. You'll have to pass near one Zerg base though so you'll probably take some damage from the queen, but that's it. | ||

As far as getting credit... as others said above: chose multiplayer, custom game, pick an 8 player map, make sure you click the FFA drop down on the right side of the game setup screen, add AI and change each one to insane, and verify your settings before starting. Then say yes to all offers to surrender. Anyways, I failed on Lava Flows because I did not count the surrenders, so waited too long before moving out. The last opponent massed corruptors which gradually took out all my BCs. Each Lava Flow island is bigger and has 2 mineral fields and 4 gases, so should be easier than Extinction, which only has 1 mineral field and 2 gases per island. My second attempt was on Extinction so I floated to the first, expanded across the map to the second and started building BCs with full upgrades while counting the surrenders (6). When there was only one opponent left, I immediately scanned for their main base (the one with the Spire) and flew directly to it with all (but two) of the BCs I had to that point (and a couple of Ravens). I still had enough gas to make a couple more BCs and 3 Medivacs. At their base... a couple of Yamatos on their Spire followed by targeting of all the hydralisks and spawning pools and voila, no anti air. I only ever saw a handful of mutalisks and a couple spore crawlers and no corruptors! The rest was just easy extermination mode as I split up the BCs and patrolled to every mineral field to squash any expansions. They killed my expo kinda early and did manage to get a bunch of roaches and hydras into my main base when it was almost exhausted, so the Medivacs moved all the SCVs to the nearest mineral field, guarded by the extra BCs that weren't needed for hunting. I never needed to set them down since by that time the BBQ was over. It's actually fun and I think I'll try other races when I need a break from real competition. | ||

The problem is AI- even insane- doesnt seem to like the concept of an air force harassing in the back, drops, or anything like this. Late game, the AI doesnt hard counter when you build a single unit. Even after my Carriers were stomping the map I saw the zerg AI building roaches! I didnt get the achievement :/ I think I did it on single player or something, so I am going to redo it sometime. | ||

Theres this sweet map called Lava Flow with main w/ ramp + 4 islands (2 islands x 2bases each) Dont have to float can just turtle the main then expand to closer islands and macro hard. I guess you could still get bad luck and have multiple insane's come after you, but I've done it a few times and that hasnt happened. They pretty much kill each other and you have insane army hehe | ||

I had 2-3 OCs but i only had one down at at Time. After your main is mined out Float around with an OC and a Medivac w/ SCVs, plop down your OC and spam Mules on minerals, and send all your SCVs to gas. Once you're able to get a 200/200 army just drop everything into the back of his base and take out tech buildings. After that its GG. | ||

EDIT: looks like this no longer exists, now you only have to kill 2 insane (4 very hard is highest). | ||
