so I think they removed this bug. God damnit. It won't let me change the computer difficulty from very easy.. or I'm doing something wrong
Do exactly this.
Make sure you go first to multiplayer
Create game
pick burning tides
change game setting to 'custom'
move yourself down to say 'team 2'
add 4 computers all to 'team 1' make sure they are all on same exact team
adjust their skill difficulty (insane) make sure they are all on same exact difficulty
start game.

they always seem to be like 300 ahead of me, i wouldn't say this requires NO skill because I don't play toss and it's pretty tight timing for expanding, finding the minerals, and making sure each expo has 21 probes..
do you guys change the handicap on the computers? does it count? X_x i tried 1v3 insane with 100% handicap for all of em..

Hmm, try making them very hard instead since there is no actual achievement for 1v3 insane (only for 1v2 insane. Also, try to be as lean and mean as you can 21 probes each base, chrono boost, send one probe out to get the mineral bonuses. Hope you do it!

When using this for the 3v3 insane spread achs (z/t/p v z/t/p, one game, two achs), I didn't notice the insane AIs getting their usual bonus (7 per trip instead of 5) on the counter, but the only real advantage you get trying 1v2 is that both AIs will train units and then just sit there and do nothing with them, allowing you to focus on pure probes and expand once or twice to win. Oddly enough the best option would be PvTT, as both the terrans were last by a mile on income, even with mules around.

is there a 1v4 Insane AI achievement even? I've never seen it.

Nope, no achievement the video is 1v4 insane to show how easy the strategy is.

Ah, you are using this for your 3v3 achievements? Good plan.. I'll investigate.

I guess this is a good way to get all the 1v1 comp achievements too.
I just realized the achievements are for 250 wins, which would take 60 hours to do. I'm not doing this shit for 60 hours just to get cheesemints. Goddamn Blizzard, who is going to win 250 games against AI?

I can confirm 1v4 works as well. For the 4th AI who shares either the north or south with you (depending on where you are), the game counts its minerals as your team's so it's actually easier to beat than 1v3.

I tried this and I didn't get the achievement for it. Did I do something wrong?

Worked like a charm.
Now if only there was some super easy way to do 4v4 achievements.

Or, uh, let's make them fun to get. Fighting an AI this number of times is quite tedious.

you clearly have never seen any of the WoW achievements (mainly grinding rep ones)
achievements are optional, if you don't like doing them, you don't have to

Uh oh, achievements are down. Could Blizzard have caught wind of this?

Even easier way to win 1vs7 insane.

More like, make it so you don't have to win 800 FFAs to get all the achievements. Who in the fuck is going to play 3200 FFAs, assuming you win 1/4?

Wow...lol It worked perfectly. Saves me a lot of time.

EPT
but I can attest that it works even after patch 1.1.1, and I found it's easier as terran. Didn't try toss but watched the video.
