Guess I just suck at bejeweled, and subsequently managing all the crap on the left side of the screen at the same time... >,> | ||

Here is the key: Immortal/Ghost. Focus on the Immortals, you need maybe 4 ghosts. Build up to 1k, and once they reach your cannons, build a couple immortals, and your 4 ghosts, then spam immortals. Don't look at the battlefield, just keep your eyes on the jewels. I absolutely crushed in less than 2 minutes, with a lucky For The Swarm halfway through. Why it works: Immortals one shot marines, tear through the cannons, and take ZERO damage from marines (that is not an exaggeration). Ghosts have one more range than immortals, and stay safe in the back. | ||

Because it says that achievements are disabled for that... No, the custom game achievements vs AI are from custom games created under the multiplayer tab. | ||

Also, some general advice. The marines you get from a clear are really important. Combos are nice, but it's far more important to be constantly clearing jewels to get more marines. This is why the AI is so hard at insane levels. It gets a constant stream of marines that is very hard to keep up with. | ||

The way I did this was by getting out two ultralisk as soon as the game began (there's usually easy ways to get fast points when the game begins) and then just heal them and storm the opponent units, kept it up until my Ultralisk swept everything. I did this on my first try. | ||

Almost got it first try despite i had to clean two times in one minute. Beat it with my third attempt, after 3 minutes and with ~3000 (me) to ~3500 (enemy). Its just important to pile 1k and then you might even reset the board if you dont like what you see before going all-in as soon as they reach the towers  | ||

you always are lower on mins, but you can easily abuse his sendings. Since he doesnt use skills, Ultralisks are strong. Groups of Hydras are strong. Send mutas everything he has no antiair. Its rly not that hard. just be decently fast and smart | ||

I didn't relay on combos, I depended on counters. The computer counters what you build in 20 seconds. after you build your units, you need to build the counter to what they're going to counter your first units with. Note that I had to warp cell the Ultras and Coloussus. It got very frustrating when I would warp cell a marine and not the Ultra >.< What worked well for me was: roach, hydra, and tank with one Ultra. The roaches and hydras are my dps units, the tanks are used to destroy the cannons, and the Ultra is used to tank the damage. Its kinda micro intensive with the mass heals, but it works. You need to warp cell the units as soon as you see Ultras or Coloussus. My late game units were banshees with tanks/hydras. I time bombed the spawn point, which makes the units go slower and then psi stormed as much as i could. Counters are: mass zlots beat one ultra. Roaches beat zlots. Hydras beat roaches. Banshees beat immortals, tanks, ultras, and colossus. Mutas are worthless in this game, don't get them. Banshees are key, but when there is a flock of hydras and/or mass marines, you need two (one for marines) psi storms to kill them before you can unleash your fleet of banshees. Warp cell ultras when they are close, same with colossus. Here is my replay http://drop.sc/76338 | ||

She is making just one ultra and healing the crap out of it, while immobilizing the enemy ultras. The key observation is that the the AI does not use the Warp Cell, so ultras ale infinitely more powerfull than vs. human players. The main point of this is that healing the ultra is much bettre than making another one, because you use the energy instantly. Hydras are so powerfull when nothing attacks them! With only 16000 to over 20000 energy, she won comfortably with this strategy. edit: there is not much point in using warp cell on Colossus, as long as you have the ultra - they waste their AOE single-shooting at the ultra. Healing should always take priority, unless there is a bunch of mutas and you have no hydras. Then give up and regroup at your canons. | ||
