This got patched, I believe. Just did this 1v4 and didn't get any achievements. Anyone else tried it recently?

Rats - I wish I had read that it worked for 3v3s as well before they patched it

Yeah it just worked, that's weird. I definitely beat it last night 1v4 doing it the exact same that I did today and now it worked. Oh well, not fixed ^_^

Hey, I can't seem to get the 3v3 to work. Like, I managed to drag an AI from team one onto team two to form a 3v3 custom, but after winning I didn't get any achievements. Hmm...

as senseless as achievements are... cheating on them seems to make them 100% redundant^^

Hmm if I remember correctly the 3v3 achievements require you to play 3 games. Your team has to consist of 3 zergs in one game, then 3 terrans, then 3 toss. After you win all these games, you get the achievement. The other achievement is that the opponents are all the same race also. I'm pretty certain this should work. Double check the requirements for the achievement, then try it and let me know.

Pro tip: You can get 2 achievements at once if you make the computers the same race also. For example in one game make you and your teammates all zerg and also make all of your opponents zerg as well. Then do the same thing next game for terran and then for protoss. When you finish all three games you should get 2 achievements for 'kin 3v3'.

What's the 3v3 Kin achievements thing? When I look at the list of achievements, I only see 4v4 kin

.

However, there is 3v3 Mix vs the Ai and 3 vs 3 AI Mix - are those the two you're thinking of, GreatFall? If it is, it works the first time for me - I don't need to play 3 games per difficulty level

wow. amazing dude.

although when you think about it blizzard should never have made it so that you can beat the computer w/out skill.

I don't suppose you'd know an easy way to get the 4v4 kin achievements? :p

Nice way to think outside the box, GreatFall, even if it can be construed as a bit of cheese.

I completed these achievements today (1v2 Insane; 1v4 Very Hard; 1v3 Very Hard and 3v3 Insane Mix [both]).

Will have replays and YouTube clips soon.

I found 1v3 VH the hardest - I used Z for this one but the trick is to scout those mineral drops to help with the resource gathering. They really help alot!

don't go for gold exp. i've done it by playing terran (haven't tried as other races).
do a standard OC opening
-10 supply
-12 rax
-15 OC
(don't make a marine).

while your OC is building send a scv to one of the allied bases (empty) and build a CC.
when you have another 200 minerals send another scv to make a cc at the 3rd base.
constant scv production (make sure to maynard**).
build 1 additional CC at each base (2 OC at each base).

USE all the OCs to mule and build scvs until 63 supply - 21 at each base.

**when you transfer scvs to your new bases watch for the "mineral pick ups" for a few hundred extra minerals.

you should pass the 3 computers at around 13k (fyi, i believe zerg ai mine slightly slower)

This is such a cheezy way to get the achievement. I dunno I just pick the island maps and turtle up like crazy. Did the 1v4 very hard achievement that way. Took me a good hour though as protoss.

It doesn't seem to work for me. I cannot change the A.I.'s difficulty, it is set to "Very Easy" and the dropdown box is disabled. Maybe they "fixed" it? My SC version is 1.1.3.16939. See here:
