@itsarabbit I like cheese. (including the starcraft ones your refering 2)

Please please please make the AI destroy rocks and things to get to other areas or expansions. Places like Kulas Ravine are so easily exploitable because the AI will *not* destroy rocks

There is no known way to make the AI do that. It will automatically destroy rocks that are in the way of the optimal hall placement. But they will not destroy any other rocks.

Well it's technically possible to create a group of units and force them to destroy a neutral building at specific location but it would be too much work for a relatively small gain. Our AIs have bigger problems atm.

Stats for probes:


12Probes: 457-533
16Probes: 629-686
20Probes: 725-781
22Probes: 743-819
+24Probes: 762-838+
26Probes: 762-838
30Probes: 781-857
34Probes: 781-857
You can 150 more per minute with the extra probes. Besides, by 18 probes you should have an expansion up.

Ah, statistics. Just what I like to see. Thanks, now that I know, I'll think otherwise when dealing with my Probe count. ^.^

Ai are scared of cannons... they go back and forth untill all units get destroyed.

There's a wave type with something about destructuables, not sure what it does, but i'll look into it maybe.

Do the 'Beta Offline AI Maps' use the 5.5 AI?

[jawknee530]

Any word on the eta of V6? Loving 5.5 just hoping for a step up in difficulty.

[chikopaws]

Yes. 
I lost two games to it at first, but I found if I went a rush build order it did the trick.

[ElvishSolution]

Stomped the cheating version as Protoss, didn't try with Zerg, Terran I had to wall-in but wasn't too troubled at all.

Wow! so it's still beatable!!
 
I will try it myself. I wanna see how far my skill is 

[godspiral]

thanks and good work,

I liked how 5.1 cheating had a 1.5x mineral mode.  5.5 cheating is too strong for me.  5.5 (non-cheating) is strong and fun if you play to its strengths.  I'd emphasize  as a design goal, fun and variety rather than eliminating all possible abuses of the AI.

requests:
map hack and unlimited APM without mineral boost would be a fun mode.
