Expansion Campaign Insane?

I've heard that if you use the Expansion prefix for AI scripts it will use brood war units, but I cannot get it to work for Terran on the map I'm making. I'm running Expansion Terran Campaign Insane and it seems to run the basic SC AI campaign script. Am I doing something wrong? How do I get the AI to make brood war units?



None.

The Curious

Choose an AI Script originally used by a UED entity in the campaigns, modify an existing script, or write your own. The latter two methods require modding.



Trial and error... mostly error.

"Expansion" scripts are lazily done. They'll research brood war tech, but Expansion Terran Insane won't build medics, and only build valkyries in response to air attacks. Similar deal with the rest of the expansion scripts.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
