lol i did it with terran+mules
way better...
but still you need to expand twice, since expanding once with constant mules makes you lose by like 100 minerals

Confirmed that this still works as of Nov. 6th 2010. Patch 1.1.2

It took me a while to get the timing down right but once I did it's money.

I was able to use it for all of the Outmatched Achievements but I am also curious how you were able to do it for the 3v3 Achievements. When choosing custom the groups are split 4/2/1 and unfortunately if you do not do custom and instead do the regular 3v3 it sets the AI at much easier difficulties.

Choosing custom splits the groups into 4/2/1, yes, but you don't have to keep them that way. You can change the size of the groups using the interface.

Just poke at it till it works that's what I did. I can post detailed instructions when I have access to the client but the basic method was right click, left click, and click and drag everything and see what happens.

If you drag a player/AI and carefully center the cursor over the team name, not one of the players, and drop it will add them to the team and not switch them with another player/AI. If you've got it in the right place the box around the team will visibly light up.

How exactly do you pull off a cannon rush vs. 4 insane AI? I've been trying to do this and they magically detect any proxy within ~20 range of their vision, so the cannons have to start well outside their base or 30 probes will come swarm them. Even against 2 Insane AI, they push out around the third cannon and start spamming zealots, which could be held off except that a bunch of them skirt by and go rape my probes.

Of course this Burning Tide method works very easily, but I'm just interested in successfully cannon rushing Insane AI at this point.

is this method a bug or an intended way to complete these achievements? I don't really understand the logic behind it if it is intended
Oh hey Sean, how was your game?

When that was originally posted, it was possible to cannon rush insane AI. They've since improved the AI and it's much harder now.
