EPTDifficulty settings in Warcraft 3 were literally just triggers in the map that removed units on the map and set various resource/unit factors based on how easy your difficulty level is.
Sure we're 8 years later but the concept is the same.

All those levels were just fucking hard. Pretty much all Zerg missions in Sc+BW were cakewalks with an army of guardians. They just one-shotted anything with every round, out of range from base defenses. The AI was unable to send reliable anti-air waves. | ||

all of those things are in the editor and it's the best way to do singleplayer type missions because you want the player to experience the mission the way you designed it. creating an ai like multiplayer or the "cracked ai" wouldn't work for campaign ever. it's the same way every RTS has designed it's singleplayer missions for... forever really. harder difficulties will simply increase the amount of units you face in either waves or defenses. maybe increase their stats or make them attack sooner, etc etc etc. | ||

The Normal campaign in WC3 was so easy, there was no sense of accomplishment in beating the missions. | ||

All the AI's from the beta were predictable and had pretty poor decision making. difference is in a melee game you're on equal footing with the AI, in a campaign game there are often three or four enemies, often two races and you have limited units and expansions, if the original campaign is any indication... | ||
