People need to stop this is based on luck. This is similar to poker as when people are bad, they can still win with luck but if you are good, then you can win easily (unless you are super unlucky) I can win against the AI almost 100% of the time (and by almost 100 I mean im currently 4/4)

Yes, seems like the Insane is now very hard or hard.

Played couple of games and the AI is averaging 2k points per minute. Whereas from several pre-update replays the AI were around 2.5k per minute.

I'm terrible at bejeweled so I just can't get energy fast enough to keep up with the AI

18 combos..... Since I've started playing SJ, I've only ever had 'for the swarm' about 3 times.

Just beat 1v2 insane + medium AI ^^ took around 13mins, averaging 2.4k per min. (max combo 5)

Going to see if there's other good combinations as all the good players now just mass ghost + tanks and mutas when they get pushed back. And countering involves matching quicker..

Rayven, make sure you're creating a game in multiplayer and then adding AI

10 tries to beat insane, last try new strategy

i made one ultra and a bunch of hydras at 1000 energy. Then I healed the ultra all the way to the end.

It works!!!
Oh my glob!

Oh and also, the most important thing i changed in my game play, i did horizontal first and only vertical once they were gone (unless it was super obvious or 4+). Before i used to do whatever came up first, but after i started to really hunt out horizontals my combos improved so much, the ease of thinking a few steps ahead became more natural etc. Best advice i took from this, Thanks Thor!

I've tried all of the strats posted on this page today and still get completely stomped by Hard every single time. Guess I'm just destined to suck @ Bejeweled :/

Not only this, but start from the bottom.

If you guys want to become bejeweled experts by default, and develop a really unique "pattern recognition" skill, find a book that prepares you for a Mechanical Aptitutde Test. There's a section on hidden shapes in a "picture" that's just a clusterfuck of lines. These are used to test military navigators and such, but with some practice on these, Bejeweled becomes CAKE.

Oh yeah i forgot to mention that, i did start looking much more towards the bottom, but that came very naturally by just doing horizontals too i found.

Interesting about the Mechanical Aptitude test, I will definitely look into that thanks!

Basically, you're going to lose the first marine battle since you can't keep up. That's fine. When he reaches your cannons, start pumping out tanks until you have a row of them (about 8). That way your cannons will take the damage and your tanks will shell it out. Once that's done, start spamming ghosts. Storm, heal, and warp cell when needed, but I did it with only one storm. Warp cell the colossi and ultras.

I'm also pretty good at Bejeweled so it only took me on try with this strategy so it might take lesser players more time. For those complaining about luck, the longer the game goes, the less luck plays a role. However, the ai isn't always consistent with what units it sends so you might have to wait until it tries something dumb.

Thanks for this. Soooooo easy compared to the other strats because I could just focus on the board almost exclusively.

I think my final energy score was like 15k to the computers 17.5k. I made nothing but mutas and cast maybe 4 storms.
