Ugh...I wish I'd read this thread before I spent over 30 minutes cannon crawling to get the 1v3 hard achievement. For some reason the AI wasn't smart enough to ever use siege mode to stop me, even though all three of them were terran.

An easier way to beat 3 AI's is to pump mass rines from 3 rax and then steamroll all the zerg bases.

I tried all 3 races vs 3 AI Insane (the hardest way possible) and youcan do it with any race. Just make sure to expand ASAP and use whatever advantage your race gives you - mules, queens or chronoboots.

Also vs 3 insane you must pickup some minerals from the fields as the margin is very close indeed. The rest ot the variations, you can pretty much take a nap while doing it.

On a side note: Is there any ohter map, that allows such a or a similar funky stuff?

~~Does this still work? I tried it, but for some reason I can only put Very Easy computers....~~

Sorry. It does work (1.13)

I went against 4 insane zergs as Protoss. Just having two bases was not enough, unfortunately. I had three nexus(es), one at my base, one at an expansion, and one on highground just beside a few patch of high yield minerals...

When I got my 15k, the computer was at 14k. But I suppose I was silly enough that I lost like 4-5 probes randomly, so I was not being 100% efficient.

On a side note I never said anything about cheesing, but taking advantage of a map the ai pretty much doesnt know what to do on isnt really accomplishing the achievement imo.

This guy's build was so poor lol

You can do 1v3 easier if you go 3 bases (all of them main starting locations) with 18-18-17 probes at each (1 probe for searching minerals on lower ground = 54/54 supply). Won it this way with a very comfortable margin.

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.

Is it true you can do the 3v3 insane achievements this way because I can't get 3 players on each side in the lobby?

Go terran. Get 2 mineral expansions, make an inbase command center, then put an expo on top of a ledge but close to gold. Start spamming MULEs. You will get 15k without failure.

Confirmed: You can get 3v3 achievements this way. When you change the game setting to 'custom' it's true, it will not have two teams of 3. You will have to add 5 AI then drag one of the ai from the team with 4 players into the team with 2 players. THERE IS A TRICK TO THIS. What you have to do is drag the computer to the top part of the other team. There is a bar at the top of the team drag and drop the AI to that spot. The trick is just in the way you drag and drop the members of the team.

if you still can't figure it out let me know, maybe I'll make a video to show you guys.
