I'm trying to play some of the custom game scenarios that come with Starcraft but the default is for all computer controlled players to ally against me. Kind of hard to win Hunters that way. Is there a way to play one of these scenarios in Free for All? Am I missing something?

You can make your own UMS maps - but if a UMS is supposed to be allied against you then it wouldn't make much sense with the storyline. If you are just talking about a standard map - them making a FFA game is very simple -- LTP :)

For example, if you select Single Player, and then Play Custom. You are then given a list of maps to choose from. On any map you choose the Game Type options are Melee or "Use map settings". There's no "Free for all" option. In any game you start as Melee all computer opponents ally against you. Kind of makes the Hunters map (8 players) just about impossible to survive.

I am sure I have done what you describe before, but I don't have Starcraft with me at the moment. You might try starting a multiplayer game with several computer opponents and no other human players; ``free for all'' should be on that list.

You should start in multiplayer mode and add computer opponenents. Then you should be able to pick the Free for All option.

Ah! That works! Of course, the cheat codes aren't available then so I have to play fair. ;-)

Gave this a try. It allowed me to select Free For All but they still allied against me and wiped me out in short order. Is there any way to set up a game where the computer AI can't form alliances so that the forces won't gang up on me?

They launch joint attacks side by side. Their units attack mine in concert. The don't attack each other. Sounds an awful lot like alliances to me...

Sometimes they will. Save a replay of the game and watch it to see if they really do attack each other. By the way, I have Brood War version 1.13f and I can pick free for all from the single player custom game setup. Maybe you need to update?

Like the game actually being balanced, perhaps? 1.00 is such a zerg-fest it isn't funny.

I think it was a hastily made, but poor, design decision. Whoever was coding it never intended for the computers to fight each other - just for no humans to be allied. -- LTP :)

I was using 1.0. I got the patch to the latest version and now it is working as one might expect. And Free for all is now an option in the single player custom game settings.
