Has the AI been updated since SC2’s release?
I’m a Zerg player, always have, always will.
But I do off race on occasion.
As Protoss in a P v T I used to rush DTs into the Terran base kill the detection and then kill them.
Now I’m always late, they seem to get their Comsat up before I get there.
As Zerg in Z v P I would tech to Hive and get out Guardians and Devourers but now days toss seems to a gazillion Corsairs and Scouts and Carriers. A lots more than back in the old days.
I haven’t done Terran lately but I can imagine they are up against better defense also.
After SC2 came out I did not follow SC1 so I don’t what patches came out.
AI hasn’t been changed since day one.
Nope, if you want tougher melee AI you can check BWMetaAI out (Google it, its im github)
Think before you speak or write as the case may be!!
We are on patch 1.22.4.595.
SC1 & SC2 changes all the time.
Now of those many patches, was the AI changed and if so how?
AI was not touched after BW.
I’m very, very old and my memory may be failing.
I’m most probably the oldest know living Zerg player at 77 years young.
I promised the SC2 forum I would stop mentioning my age so this will be the last you will hear of it.
However, it seems to me that the AI has gotten a heck of a lot better than the good old days of the ‘00s.
And there is are a heck of a lot of patches since the start of Brood War.
Are you sure that the AI was not touched and I just need to brush up on my timings?
Unit pathing and getting stuck ect has been fixed which could result in the ai having a faster build time.
The only known update was in 1998 with the release of Brood War.

Unless you mean on a per-map basis, I don’t know of any way this could be true. You have a source?
I don’t really play often vs. AI but I got that feeling too that AI become, let’s say, they can do more build orders now? F.e. did AI used to 4 pool you before? I just don’t know maybe I’m wrong. A Dev should answer it.
You can see the files for yourself if you don’t believe the people who are working with those scripts literally each day.

The AI has not been changed, i should know since I’m a comp stomper.
I wish they had stronger AI though.
It might not have changed or maybe I have just got slower but AI does seem to be better. Mind you I also used to play SC vanilla where the AI definitely is easier.
Playing the AI isn’t much fun or good practice because you can’t practice any cheese at all because they always have detection etc exactly where you trying to cheese etc. I think if they could make such things as quick detection a bit more random, that would make AI more realistic practice. Also, how they send units the second you make an expo etc is pretty annoying.
Just my 2 cents.
