A thought on scripting, just in case you haven't thought of it.

To script countering, you can do the followings:

- Each unit has counter1-3
- Same with building/tech: counterbuilding1-3 OR countertech1-3

Detection:

IF detect UnitX THEN {
build CounterUnitX until CounterUnitX*minerals/gas > enemy unitX's minerals/gas
then attack
}

Of course it's going to overflow with so many counters, so just pick the top 3 counters, ie. giving each counter an index value as in CounterUnitX_Index = CounterUnitX+Index + 1;


During battle:

IF army's size < 0.5 enemy's army size Then {
retreat
}

This way you can let the AI deviate from the initial build orders.
