NOTE to those trying this out:
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.

Heh cool. They've been working on this AI for several years, good to know they've actually finished it :D

They keep saying how easy the computer is, but is that an expert melee player's opinion? Or a little UMS lover like me :P

Thnx for the publicity Yoshi. Your support over the years has made a big impact in the number of ppl that are aware of our little corner of the SC Community. Thankyou.

Nope Sorry, The Ai is still the same dumb computer with just different build orders. The mod is simply a culmination of all the ppl that have put some effort into modifying non-cheating Ai scripts. And I wanted to make sure they got some recognition for their work. Individually they wouldn’t be as noticed. Collectively, they are a big hit. If you play without exploiting the computer you will have a fun experience.

While this Entropy Ai is merely a silly script modification, there is a greater project that has been in the works for some time in which the Ai’s behavior will be vastly improved. This mod will be like no other and will be guaranteed to blow your mind away. I personally am not involved (only because my programming knowledge is crap!), but some of the familiar SEN members who are part of this team are Heinermann, DiscipleofAdun, and Matefkr. …. So you can expect high quality. Physician’s (aka Entropy) dream of that true gosu computer is just around the corner.

I know some of the other Ai mods are quite extreme, but this Ai should be enjoyable and beatable quite easily by the average player. .... but be careful or you'll end up in thegraveyard like some of these guys!

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?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
[2026-6-19. : 9:57 am]
Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
