Anytime I'd push out, they'd drop attack, then have a secondary VR army (I was playing against all Protoss). The one AI that was left was always on the other side of the map so anytime I pushed out I was always leaving my base defenseless.
Any advice on how to do it? Particular advice for Protoss? The only reason I had a chance was because I was playing Terran and was able to float to an island to buy some time.
On Insane they just go so fast. I'm barely getting my second gateway up while some of them are already getting Immortals. I don't know how I can go any faster when I never have any minerals, meaning, I'm using them as fast as I can.
They mine faster than you. I think 1.25 times faster or maybe 1.5 times so it's impossible to keep up unless you expand a bunch.
I just beat it last night doing the BCS tactic. I went 11 scvs then CC. Lifted both CCs to the island. With my other SCV I build a CC next to the other island. Lifted there and had 4 bases going. Then just went a ton of BCS. I had nearly 25 bcs fully upgraded and just raped the toss ground force.
Not sure how to beat an all toss insane FFA. Maybe doing something really cheap or getting DTs (they get early detection). I normally get raped by insane AI unless I do some sort of cheese or do some ******ed expansion.
