Is this also against blizzard's rules? Even if it's for private personal use- not SC2, just SC 1 classic and brood war.

The problem I was having is that I never really got good enough on bnet to really even survive in starcraft. Another problem was sometimes you can sit in your room for 10, 20 minutes or forever without anyone coming in that wants to play you in a solo game (I want to get better at those first)

I'm hoping there are scripts which are smart/good enough to prepare you to play against a human player, are there?

It may or may not be against the rules, but there are mods out there that improve the AI, and there is a script called "darkAI" out there that makes the AI's A LOT smarter/dangerous and I tried it, and :O'd, they had MASSIVE armies that I could barely hold off (Thank you protoss bottleneck!) and before I knew it, the game CCMU'd... :D, so I suggest DarkAI if you want more... challenging... foes. ;)

edit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/darkai/ for everyone who wants it :)

DarkAI+Zerg=500 hydralisks... And that's not a possible control amount o.O

I guess technically any mods at all which includes darkAI is considered hacking. But Blizzard likes actual mod mods, like fusion or dark evolution.

Meaning that two humans playing each other, neither one could have 500 hydralisks?

Anyway, there is some stuff I'm looking to get the AI to do, implement some human strategies, like

1. Putting Tanks say on the higher ground surrounding the corners in the Volcanis map.

2. Using Lurkers more with Zerg.

3. Attacking you with more units (looks like this has already been done)

4. Trying to bunker you in with bunkers/tanks, etc

5. Stimming it's marines before they attack you.

6. Using Dark Templars more.

There's an API available so you can create your own AI. There's even an AI contest to see who can create a better AI Bot.
