The new bot legacy is random and plays a fixed strategy for each race. It’s brand new (the description is “myfirstbot”) and doesn’t have many skills yet. For example, it’s weak to worker harassment and can’t recover if its build is derailed. The refinements take time.

Terran - BBS. Legacy doesn’t seem entirely bent on rushing, though; it is happy to play cautiously and macro up a large marine army. Later it builds an academy and researches stim, but strangely never trains medics. Without medics, the marine force becomes as thin as paper after repeated use of stim.

Protoss - 10-12 gate zealots. This may be legacy’s strongest race. If the scouting probe survives, it may warp pylons in the enemy base for no apparent reason. (Because it needs the supply?)

Zerg - Overpool, rapidly adding hatcheries to increase production of zerglings. It’s somewhat similar to Black Crow, but without zergling speed and not as polished.

Nothing special... yet. Most bots that start as nothing special fade away after a while, but some get ongoing work and become worthy competitors.
