Simply put, what is a simple easy way to get this achievement?

Rush one AI/Move to an island and turtle?

Just rush one guy (7pool, 10 Cannonrush) or two and let the AI fix the rest. It`s really easy. If you take out one, and you aid your allies a tiny bit you should win it. I recommend cannons, because the AI will try to attack the cannons after youve destroyed the base so you get to deal alot of damage.

I did it in mirror matches, where I spine crawler rushed one zerg and took over his base, proxy 2 rax bunker rushed or double cannon rushed on the map where you are two and two.

toss = cannon rush (easiest way vs 4 terran)

zerg u wanna do ZvZ and kill 1 early on

terran i did a straight banshee tech in 4v4 and it was rather easy, 3v3 u can try to kill1 early but i again did the banshee rush and it was rather easy.

Protoss you can cannon rush Megaton and win 1v4, so having 3 allies is redundant. Zerg/Terran you fast tech to mutalisks or banshees. Keep all the expos down and your teammates will steamroll them.

Did you do 1v4 on insane rally? I struggled a lot with it until I changed to Very hard which the achievement was for. On Insane they would gather a really scary force the other 2 to take me out.

I did the 3v3 one yeterday also and I'm not the best player but still managed to cannon rush the P and after that I just supported while tthe AI finished the Z and T and got plenty of achievements in that 15 minute space.

Going to try the 4v4 later tonight but I guess it's just a matetr of okey played cheese.

I was able to cannon 4 very hard AI, but did not try 4 insane. For 4v4, i'd cannon rush 1-2 and stay alive for the win. 4P > 4T was easy, 4T > 4Z was easy, 4Z > 4P was hard so I played 4Z > 4Z and 4P > 4P to get all the achievements.

I was trying to use spine crawlers on an opponent ai and then go for broodlords in ZvZ. However, with the recent patch, the computer is much more aggressive it seems and they attack my spine crawlers before they finished. I tried to distract them a bit by sending in some zerglings to help my crawlers finish building, but I can't seem to make it work. Anyone try this with the new patch? What did you get to work?

I nydused over to islands on lava flow as zerg and massed queens zerglings banelings and ultras. Heal your ultras and fight on creep. It takes a while to work through the roaches but if you pull down the expansions of the other zerg your allies will work through their army. You can build some hydras if you have to thin out the air. I mostly used 5-6 quwens a few dozen ultras and continuously sent speedlingsmto the army.

3v3 terran is proving to be hard formme my allies keep dying.

3v3 terran worked with banshees for me. Once I had 6 or 8, I used them in 2 groups to attack different mineral lines. This makes the enemy run back to their base if they have their units attacking your base or an allies.

I've figured out a way to do it completely without any skill involved and by abusing the new Insane AI mechanics:

Choose the map Megaton. Send a worker to the other team's fortress. Then, in the middle of the fortress, build a pylon or a supply depot. All the four AI's will go completely bonkers and send almost all their workers to attack your pylon or supply depot. Then you cancel it. Their workers run back. Then you build another one and the AI will go bonkers again. Then you keep making their workers run back and forth until they slowly and steadily get a marine, zealot or roach that will kill off your worker. Of course, by then, your allies have gathered somewhat of a formidable force and will steamroll your enemies without your help.

It won't work too well if you're zerg, though. It could, but you'd have to build a hatchery instead, which is more of a hassle. I did zerg by teching to mutas and harassing the AI's again, letting my allies do the actual killing.

And ironically, it seems to work better against Insane AI's than against Very Hard...

ZZZZvZZZZ Just tech straight to muta, ask your AI partners for gas. Ask for 100 at a time, they'll fork over pretty much infinite amounts since they roach like crazy. Just harass mineral lines back and forth from each base, and your allies will roll them with ease.

i wonder if anyone is experiencing this:

i finished the 4v4 kin vs insane ai and 4v4 vs insane ai kin, but it didnt give me the very hard ones. so i had to play it again on very hard mode. not very difficult, just that id rather get all of them at once.

So, should i continue doing the insane matches, in order that when they fix this, it will sync with the rest of the difficulty settings? or will I have to do them all over again?
