I just tried it last night with 1.1.3 and it is indeed possible, I got all of the outmatched achievements, for 1 v 3 very hard I suggest using Terran and getting 3 Orbital Commands, I only built one supply depot and maxed out SCVs at 42, keep an even balance at all three bases. Hotkey all orbital commands and use mules the second they are available. I did not even have to go pick up Mineral Caches.

It seems like they changed it, unfortunately. Don't think you can play against AI above 'very easy' difficulty anymore on this map.

EDIT: Never mind, you can still get the achievement on 'custom' settings.

Just play as terran and get ~8 OC then land one by the gold minerals and launch MULEs to easily win

1v4 is easier than 1v3 because one of their AI actually mines on your "team's" behalf. Technique works perfectly though, especially as terran.

I have noticed that the AI never takes an expansion if you you have placed e.g. a pylon there. You can use this to force your opppent's expansions or completely deny any. I don't know if this always works with the natural, but in my experience it is a nice clean method to make games vs. AI much easier....

If you look at my first post on this thread, I originally posted this on September 28th, 2010. I'm pretty sure that's before October and I'm pretty sure it was this very thread that you read when you visited TL.net back then :X. The reason this thread appears 'new' on TL.net forums is because it's constantly bumped by people who actually appreciate the help and want to be nice and give me feedback and say thanks.

does this still work? i didnt get the achievements

edit all the comps need to be on team 1 and put yourself on team two
easier with terran and double expand mules than protoss. Just use two scv to run around and collect minerals, one for each half of the map
