(I dont think anyone would make an easy to play against AI with BWAPI anymore) Hell, even the old players now prefer to watch rather than play(due to less time or a wrist injury I guess)Īn ai could definitely allow new players to get familiar with the game and stick around, but do you really expect nuBlizzard to do anything good these days for its fanbase? Personally, I even gave up hope on the 2v2 let alone an advanced AI that they dont even have it in their-to-do-list.
Thankfully lots of starcraft players are offering to help the newbs, but one must ask himself first if its worth spending a big chunk of his time to learn how to play a game this hard and catch up with the community, when its active playerbase shrinks every day. These low numbers indicate that fair competition is nonviable.ĩ0% of newcomers gave up playing broodwar due to the smurfs and the insanely huge skill gap that exists, and the training method to become good is a no-fun, archaic process that probably requires another person that has some knowledge. Starcraft’s is a no-man’s-land for casual players that want to play&learn and only a few players with tons of experience are still playing. If you dont have a 10+years of ingame experience already, then Im afraid there is no easy place for you here. Broodwar as a game is not dead, but its online aspect is.
