Having an AI that plays like a human is less fun.  &#x27;Cheating&#x27; is simply how developers can easily balance things.<p>EX: Often there are units capable of infinite harassment with perfect micro.  That&#x27;s so far from being fun it&#x27;s never part of actual game AI.<p>Large base, small waves.  It&#x27;s a simple formula that makes people feel great!<p>PS: Of course it goes deeper, units need to have basic AI because people can&#x27;t micro manage large numbers.
