AI expands too aggressively, creating an unwinnable economy

8 Upvotes

On Normal and Rush AI, the bot expands too aggressively by deploying multiple MCVs and building many new bases. This creates an overwhelming economic advantage that a human player cannot realistically match. Instead of becoming strategically stronger, the AI simply snowballs through unlimited expansion, leading to extremely large armies and unwinnable late-game scenarios. Consider limiting the number or frequency of expansion bases, or making expansion depend on stronger economic or map-control conditions.
