I've created a flipped perspective on the final map of SC that pits 3 players against a souped-up AI script that runs Kerrigan's base. As of right now the map is not final and will continue to be updated, but I figure it functions well enough to open it up to the general public.
You can find out more about it here: Project: Nemesis (Topic)

Although the mod changes are extensive, the big calling card of Nemesis Omega is the massive AI script that comprises nearly 5000 lines and is only going to get bigger as time goes on. After rewriting the entire script from scratch, it is closer than ever to 100% stability, and can easily give three average human players a run for their money. The techniques I've developed during this mod's dev-time have been extremely influential and I will likely benefit from them for years to come.
This mod serves as my single most exhaustive attempt at modding SC:R and I view it ultimately as a failure due to the crippling limitations of post-1.16.1 versions of brood war. After this mod's completion I will no longer seek to develop remastered projects and will exclusively remain with 1.16.1. That being said, I'm open to making additional changes leading up to the conclusion of the project, so if you have suggestions please make them known.
