If I was playing on WOPR, I could enter 0 for number of players... [:)]

But does SC have a way to make the AI play itself? I saw in a post way back when that Hubert stated he ran the game that way to test out a campaign, so is it still possible to set it up this way?

Not sure. But I'm game right now if you are. Any scenario/side/whatever.

Yes, press F3 while you're in the Main Menu before going to Single Player, and when the campaign starts the AI will fight itself*.

Unless you wait for the game to end, you will have to end it by closing the game via the Taskbar, but you can then view the autosave when you re-open up the game.

*If you press F1 and F2 then save files and a log of AI events is also saved.

As Bill posted, there is a Greetings Professor Falken mode, F3 is the key!

Btw, seeing the word WOPR really brought me back to my childhood [:)]
