EPT1v4/1v2 were easy(P).
1v3 I went zerg. Its absolutely important you pickup minerals. I ended up winning with 69/78 supply by 500minerals.

It's definitely the closest one but it's very doable. If you're playing protoss the key is getting 2 expansions asap (bringing you up to 3 bases, all non gold) and constantly chrono boosting (don't let it wait, you need them asap to get a higher income). In order to afford the early nexii - send a probe out immediately after the first lava tide and gather as many mineral caches as you can around the map (they're found only on low ground) and as soon as you've got 400 minerals above what you need for probe production throw up a nexus - then throw up a second nexus as soon as possible again by gathering mineral caches around the map (new ones spawn each tide). You'll likely get your third nexus started before the second has finished too. If you do that quick you'll be on equal ground to the insane AI's very soon. Then you just need to gather mineral caches to get the edge. It's also possible as zerg - and I found it easier. Just throw up an expansion every time you hit 300 minerals - you can get an insane income in no time. No problem man, explain away. It's part your finding as well. | ||

The best is 1vs2 when in fact you can have both of them collecting minerals for you XD. | ||

Anyway, maybe speed and number of workers isn't that important,since it spends more money that way. Anyway, whatever works I guess. edit: Well 1v3 was easy as zerg. Realize that the only matchup you need to set the computer to insane is 1v2. 1v3 and 1v4 can just be very hard AIs. Anyway, the strategy I used was roughly 15 hatch, 14 pool, 18 hatch, and built a queen at each hatch. You probably only need two queens though. I build 1 pair of zerglings, they are very good at collecting all the mineral shards quickly. I just took the 3 start location spots (not any golds), and had about 18-20 drones on each hatchery, and I beat the computers 15k to 12700 or something. edit: I think 18 workers is pretty optimal, because there's only 7 patches. Technically you might get the most from having 21, so it might be worth it though. | ||

Mules from 2 CCs should be a bigger factor than chrono boost, even to make up for the barracks you have to build, no? | ||

We know for certain it works for toss. Don't waste your time trying it with terran. Unless of course you're just curious to see which works better. In which case, knock yourself out. | ||

10 supply, 12 rax, 15 orbital, and then you can build CC's in base around 16 and 20 or so (not sure on those numbers). When CC's finish, load em up with 5 SCVs and fly them to nearby expos (don't have to worry about lava and maynerding), and make them orbitals asap as well. I only used one mule in my main, and saved the rest for expos so my main wouldn't mine out. I beat 2 Insane AI by about 7-8k minerals, and I beat 3 Insane AI by 2k minerals. | ||

What makes it easier too with zerg is that you can spread your overlords all over the map to scout for minerals, then just send 1 drone and shift queue it on all the minerals.. easy peasy string bikini! Haven't tried terran with O/C yet though, but I still think zerg can mass drones faster, and since we only need to get to 15k resources I think zerg is better.. perhaps MULEs would be stronger if we needed more than 15k, say 30k or something. Not sure. EDIT: correction: just checked replay, I won by 3k minerals | ||
