I used to practise vs GTAI before since it used to chase my scouting drone around and I needed the multitasking practise. I haven't tried the b.net version but I definitely will now.

The video is awesome, especially the last battle (zerg fighting!)

I remember playing with your AI when I first started sc2. It seems you have worked a lot on it, it looks awesome.
Nice it can cheese (but still not defend cheese, which is understandable as it's a pain to program)

Thanks for the reply on how to fix the reserved .galaxy name problem, I just edited metalopolis with this AI and uploaded it to NA under 'GTAI 0.86c Metalopolis'. not sure how long it takes to show up as I haven't uploaded anything before.

Edit: Btw, what does WallZone mean?

I'm lazy and won't download it and go through the hassle of uploading it myself (Also ignorant as to how to do that) but I'm a huge fan of green Tea AI and I can't wait for this to show up on the north american ladder

Macro or Die was good because of the green tea ai. If it was the standard ezpz do the same shit every game blizzard AI that UMS would barely have been notable, but Green Tea made it shine.

I can't wait to get my hands on some of these maps!
Thanks!

Great AI!
I hadn't updated in a while but i love the improvements in micro and tactics you made.

One question though: could you give an overview of what numbers correspond to what commanders?
I tried to practice against a protoss 4WG and used the numbers from the trigger libs but for some reason it never uses a 4 WG strat when i did this. Same goes for 6 pool (although the 7 pool seems to work).

when I enter -re ingame nothing happens. Also -qr sometimes (often) bugs out the AI and their workers do nothing.

Also it does not respect that AI was random and just restarts with the last race AI got.
