Is Ahhz still working on the AI? I've played vs it quite a lot and I really like it,as it doesn't seem to use the give_money command unlike Racine.

Thanks for all the help regarding this. I was able to get Ahzz AI working by disabling DEP altogether on my Vista system. I played a bunch of network games with my Brother (he was using XP) against the AI. A couple times with 2v2 and a couple with 4v4 (2 comp allies). Holy crap, the games get alot more drawn out then they used to against normal AI opponents, and when they get to their late game, it's damn near impossible to keep up against the large armies they send. As I only recently learned about unit micro just recently (watching the english commentated Starcraft matches on GomTV), I am not a very adept player... yet . All in all, great fun.

Although I did have one issue with one of our long 4v4 games. Very late in the game when I was seriously bailing out my brother from being overrun with 3 zerg opponents, I was starting to take out a bunch of their expansions. Just when the game was looking like a sure win for the good guys, my game (on the Vista machine) crashed to desktop. I speculated that this was the fault of the AI, but until reading your posts I wasn't really sure.

Mainly, I would like to know if there is a more stable AI that offers the same kind of fun and challenge that Ahzz AI delivers (and Vista compatible). We tend to play on normal maps where expanding is essential and avoid the unlimited resource maps (such as FMEs). I understand that most, if not all, of you on these boards are also avid AI editors and you are used to debugging and testing various different AIs in a given week/day. Unfortunately, I am not that AI-savvy and because of this, I am hoping for a suggested AI that takes care of all the races (and combinations if possible, ie PvZ, TvP, etc) and is as easy to run as Ahzz (no needing to extract anything into some other bin file ).

I guess what I am saying is that I am greedy and I want all the work done for me! (I sure hope I am not sounding like a dick... pass it off as ignorance )

Also (yes, more)... is there a way to increase the number of units allowed in the game? A bunch of times during the 4v4 we were getting a 'too many units' warning and we weren't allowed to build anything. This isn't a big deal as things are always dieing, but it would be nice to not be limited by it. (I am not talking about the 200 unit cap per player)

Again, thanks alot for all of your replies and I look forward to any suggestions that you might have.

If I get too badly killed by the cheating AI, I will try that one out. I assume that the 1v2 means that it is balanced to have 2 comps against little ol' me... I'm going to bet on the comps /blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':blink:' />

Also, concerning part of my question in the previous post (shown below) is there any way to take care of the game's object cap?
