The default artificial intelligence (AI) in Starcraft: Brood war (BW) is not all too shabby for beginners but it tends to fall short once you have started to learn all the units and some basic tactics. Racine_ and BSW_rama have decided to change that by programming and further improving the AI of Brood War. A new version was released today (which works with BW 1.11) and I decided to try it out.

I must that I am impressed, though I am not much of a player I can easily beat the normal AI that comes with BW but this proved to be a different story. As instructed I tried to play the same way as I would against a human player (ie not trying to find any AI exploit) and the computer protoss showed me who was the boss, twice :) Once by doing a zealot rush and once by overexpanding and constantly dropping. So if you are a new to mediocre player and looking for some practice, this is definitely something to give a shot.
