Well back when I did the 1v2 achievement I did it with terran on lost temple. Hardcore 2 base turtle with siege tanks and full bunker wall. After sufficient amount of defense I went battlecruiser with 3/3 upgrades.

Don´t know if it still works against the ai. You should take 2 zerg or 1 zerg/1 terra as enemies though, much easier than going against 2 terran. Protoss is nigh unbeatable anyway since they will come very early with colossusses.


Or simply cannon rush any 2 ais on twilight fortress in 10 minutes.

Thx for all the feedback, everything i have read so far didn't work though. Is it btw humanly possible to beat 3 insanes with Terran (not FFA) or is that just out of question without exploiting? I'm just wondering if the gap between incredible skill and computer AI can be that big as I'm not very familiar with it?


I believe not. There is a reason the 1v3 and 1v4 achievements are only against hard ai. The insane ai gets 20% more resources than a normal person. So early on the army of an ai will just be bigger than yours. You may be able to beat it with superior micro or composition.
But when there are 3 armies, all bigger than yours, then there is no fucking way to beat that without abusing ai weaknesses. Probably impossible with anything but triple cannonrush.
If nobody hates you, you´re doing something wrong. However someone hating you doesn´t make you right

Lol he just turtled in a 1 hour game until the AI have mined every minerals on the map and waited them to suicide their army into his 50 tank. I have to say that was pretty epic!

I beat 2 insane zerg 2v1, not island maps and non wall maps. You just have to quickly make meatgrinder with siege tanks.

and that was before playing online
nothing special here.

Should we expect more actual games from you, like the ones on Huskys channel?

Athene i saw ur replay, u may want to make Orbital Commands a bit before 100 supply, and also wall off your expo and keep repairing/replacing the buildings as you had almsot 6.2k minerals not doing anything and not enough vespian to build any more tanks

i was also curious to if you had completed it or not, because on the AI's attack (at the 59th min) it looks like they were about to break through (or at least significantly whittle you down) when your video conveniently desyncs

Terran can 2v1 against z without cheesing. I can't think of any other combination that works. Alternatives is a mined out map, battlecruisers or just mass units.

It is very easy to do on twilight fortress novice version. Having a high hp free wall and three expansions behind it...

Hi again,

I'm just wondering if anyone has been able to beat single player 1v3 insanes (not FFA) in starcraft2? Haven't been able to find any replays nor strategies.

Thx!

I don't think someone managed to do it whithout using some cheesy play... But, if you manage to hold off, somehow, the first 2 wave of the AI's I think the rest will be the same as the 1v2 video you made.
