This is my first AI that is actually OK. I'll see if I can post versions of it.
If you use it, please give credits to me (Hydrolisk).
This AI is not intended for use yet.
I would; for now, like to have help testing my AI against many things in AI maps. If you have time, that'd be great.
Or, you can just play it.

Version 1 of AI: Troll Commander of DOOM
Version 1.5 (Has no conditions for new expansion; as soon as the game reaches a(n) early/middle game point, the AI will go for an expansion. This version still doesn't use Grunts yet.)

I took a quick look and I have no idea on anything in regards to an AI :P all in all tho if you want to test it against other AI's and it is a ladder AI you could use the AI's from the contest here and the contests at hiveworkshop

I've done a quick test and it looks very good. this night (if I'm not interrupted by something else) I'll check it more deeply.

Checked again, and it's very nice, I like how aggressive is the AI. I think you should add some grunts in order to improve the AI power, just as an attack distraction, due to the weakness of trolls, they can use the grunt as damage absorbers.

Other thing you need to improve is the gathering. Don't wait the expansion until the gold is almost run out, set the mine expansion when the main gold has 50% of its capacity.

Everything else, good job.

Alright, made a version 1.5 of the AI.

The AI now tries to get an expansion once the game reaches a mid-early point, so there's no conditions.

It still doesn't use Grunts, but Version 2 is actually going to be an overhaul.
I plan on adding upgrades at a better point, better expansions, and it should utilize some Grunts at early-mid points in the game. May feature the Tauren hero.

Plans for Version 3 includes using Witch Docters or Batriders.
