BRAI is a very weak Terran AI for StarCraft: Brood War.

Strategy

Current

• Build order:
  • Initial build order:
    • 9 - Depot
    • 14 - Command Center
    • 15 - Barracks
    • 16 - Refinery
    • 16 - Depot
    • 20 - Bunkers (three on each ramp)
    • 22 - Barracks
  • Builds 25 SCVs.
  • Constantly builds marines.
  • Constantly builds barracks.
  • Builds supply depots when close to supply cap.
• When it hits 100 idle marines, it a-moves 75 of them to the enemy base.
• The 11th SCV is used as a scout. The bot does very little with the information.

Planned

(roughly in order)

• Better end-game behavior: it can currently fail to finish off opponents.
• Engineering Bay upgrades.
• More expansions.
• Building units other than marines.
• Better scouting:
  • Don't suicide scouts.
  • Use the information gained.
• Economy estimation.
• Combat micro.
