Introducing BWAI Gold, our latest update for the BroodWarAI Project. The mod includes 2 versions that showcase our best Starcraft AI scripts over the project's history. Both utilize PyAI and it's special ability to perform external jump calls allowing the computer to randomly select from a database of scripts. More randomness = more replayability = more fun! Every game will be a different experience and there's something for every skill level.


Racine's Rebels features our best insane AI's. The scripts vary in difficulty and no two will be alike. Be warned! Some games may be extremely difficult, especially for those new to the experience. The majority of players will have difficulty dealing with a single cpu opponent, and we truly mean the majority of players! If you're a nutcase or just a badass, give 1v2 a try.


Entropy II is a non-cheating opponent which some may already be familiar with. The mod receives no extra money whatsoever and is intended for the casual Scraft gamer as well as newcomers. A 1v2 game however may just surprise you.

BWAI Melee Challenge II was built exclusively for BWAI Gold as a fun way to test your mad playing skillz or just impress the hell out of everyone! Give it a try and thnx for your support.

The following scripts have earned a place in BWAI Gold:
Adun, Ahzz, Ashara, Avance70, EasyChat, IskatuMesk, Peppe, Racine, Rama, Raynor, QOB, Zbath II, Zelduck, and finally ZONS.

Thnx to all those modders and fans that have supported this project.

I thought that those wanting to make computers that fight against humans, and want the AI's to be GOOD might benefit from this guide I wrote for human play:

Zerg Guide By Ahzz:

(Note: Macro means managing your resources, building units etc in general, while micro means controlling your units in battles in general. Secondly, for those doubting this guide, I can play zerg, aside from zvz, at A- or A level if I put effort to my game.)

First off, for those better players around there. This is mostly meant to teach stuff for less experienced players, though experienced players can get something out of it too but.. Well, what I'm trying to say is, that if I say that you shouldn't concentrate on cool micro, it means that you should ONLY concentrate on better micro etc if you have enough speed and multitasking, which most of the people who read this do not.

There are several ways to start the game. Some are better at something else than others etc. Well, let's skip that crap and move to business shall we?

Just some tips before we go to the specifics:

-A good amount of drones is usually 1.5 times the amount of mineral patches +3 for gas. So for example, if an expansion spot has 8 mineral patches and a vespene gas, then a nice amount of drones would be 12 at minerals and 3 at gas. This is, of course, in general. If you're making a power build or something, you can have several more drones on minerals.

Latest Version: v1.0 May 13, 2008
 Entropy2_v1.0.zip (859.19K downloaded 8189 times)

Entropy Ai is a unique mod that utilizes PYAI's external jump calls to allow the computer to mix-match and randomly pick from a small database featuring the best non-cheating BWAI scripts. This means the Ai receives NO money whatsoever. While we like to think this Ai is significantly stronger than the default Blizzard scripts, don't expect some gosu computer to rock your world especially if you play this 1v1. It just isn't going to happen. Some scripts are designed to be extremely aggressive while others may quick expand or even tech up before doing anything. As such, the Ai will work best as a team drawing support from each other.

Have fun and thnx to all that had enough courage to build a script without the use of the give_money command.

Ashara Ai update!
Made for the AI vs AI war, I have especially worked the timings against some existing AI's,
not sure this will be good against other AI's. Human players will probably go too fast for these scripts
My AI's don't use many of late game units and upgrades, they're costly and AI's generally misuse them.
One interesting aspect is that the Ai adapts to the early opponent build order. If you try a 14nexus BO, then
you should expect some 6pool rush.

UPDATE 18/05/2008

I added new build orders and modified the probabilities for the others.
AIs should do more cooperative attacks but this is still in testing.

From the Author LordAgamemnon:
"A total conversion, set far in the future after the fall of the Empire of Earth. Small space kingdoms have risen to fill the power void--make sure yours triumphs! Colonize and exploit planets for money, sanctions unusual and powerful units, and build huge freakin' ships! What more can you ask for? This mod places an emphasis on strategy over tactics. Things move slowly (don't say I didn't warn you) and abilities are rare. You'll need foresight and planning more than twitchy fingers to win. "

Ad Astras AI now allows the single-player fan a chance to experience a little bit of the magic that is Ad Astras. If you've been meaning to try out this mod but couldn't find the time or a playing partner, your day has arrived.

Armageddon Onslaught is the response to the demand for the ultimate survival challenge.

It fully converts the Zerg race into an AI-only fourth race built on demonic styling.

The new race, called Armageddon, is built to challenge 4-7 players across 3 difficulties and 7 tiers. Every Armageddon unit is custom built to have its own characteristics, personality, strengths and weaknesses, and they all contribute to a new feeling when you confront them on the battlefield.

From the mysterious to the dramatic, the Armageddon Onslaught provides a large and varied opponent that will fight you to the gates of hell itself... There will be no survivors.

Downfall of the Koprulu Sector
Protoss Forces were after their homeworld Aiur fell chased to Shakuras where the Zerg prevented Zeratul and Artanis from unleashing the power of the Mighty Xel'Naga Temple.
In the process they used Terran technology. The Terrans themselves fougt a hard battle but in the end were overpowered by their infested counterparts.
The Zerg now in control of Queen of Blades, Kerrigan traversed space beyond the koprulu sector where it detected another highly evolved presence.
The presence was of robotic nature and shared a lot of similarities with the Zerg..

ORAI is the reincarnation of Adam Cassara's timeless Star Wars Total Conversion. The mod revolves around the one-year period between the Empire Strikes back and the Return of the Jedi. A classic 2 race Good vs Evil showdown pitting the Rebellion against the Empire, Open Rebellion features possibly some of the best 3d models ever created for a Starcraft mod. As a player you control speeder bikes, r2units, lightning-quick Xwing fighters, elusive TIE fighters & bombers, stormtroopers, massive AT-AT walkers, ST-walkers, and a host of other memorable units. This is a must-have for your hard drive.

By reworking OR's internal tech tree, ORAI now supports a computer opponent allowing you the fan to play this anytime! ORAI is the debut of *MUAI which stands for Mirrored Unit Ai. In a nutshell, the player and the computer control two different sets of units that mirror each other graphically. This flexibility allows for the Ai to overcome numerous obstacles that have long plagued the traditional computer opponent. The resulting AI was initially so powerful, that it was just too impractical. ORAI and the MUAI have undergone several nerfings since then, and the mod now offers several difficulty levels for almost every skill level.

Grab your blaster and fight to restore galactic peace or just crush the insignificant rebellion once and for all!

Star_3 wrote a Vulture AI using UMS, At the begining you own six zealot(leg enhancements) while computer owns only one vulture(ion thrusters).

Try to kill the vulture. It's not easy.
This trick can also be applied on other units that have ranged attack advantages.

Catch me! New worker AI

 SCV_Harass.zip (455.54K downloaded 531 times)
playable example

Imagine a computer that sends a worker out to scout, and while at it, it starts to harass you by hitting your workers or buildings.
Imagine then you try and get that annoying worker, and to your amazement, the worker runs away while you chase it, but what is worse, its reaction time is that of a machine, flawless, you never get to kill it and what is worse if you hurt it it enough, it will go back to mining and send a replacement. Imagine you quit chasing and back does the computer worker come almost like he had a brain of his own. Imagine too that you ignore it, and instead of harassing you it opts to build a refinery on your dam gas geyser.

Stuff of dreams?
