Description:
An actual hard version of the Starcraft and Starcraft Broodwar campaigns by pochoman123. Unlike previous "insane" campaigns that lazily changed the AI script to insane, pochoman did a good job actually making the maps a decent challenge without having the AI throw 100 units at you 1 minute in.

He added scripted attack waves that can do decent damage if you don't prepare for it. He also made the bases better for macroing and added adequate resources (maybe a bit too much) on most maps. There are also more defenses for the AI so that you can't just a move with a 200/200 army and win. Most AI bases will also spawn additional units when you destroy the main hatchery/cc/nexus.

To compensate, most maps will allow you to make a hero version of the unit (often for 2-4x the base cost of the unit).

I highly recommend this campaign for those that find the original campaign too easy.

Commentary:
The final mission, and the map is huge. There are 6 total enemy AIs to worry about as well. I think I made the map easier by mind controlling a second race and wiping out the zerg islands, as that seemed to prevent additional attacks into the middle during the countdown portion of the map

The middle area is full of enemy hero units, so you won't be able to take it easily, but luckily it won't attack you. Actually, when fighting the zerg you don't need corsair because the hero scouts can absorb a ton of scourge hits and the AI tends to overkill units, so you can just make carriers with hero scouts and arbs. I use zerg to take up most of the worker slots with drones and then build a support army of guardians, mutas, and devourers.
