On the standard map "Wild Plains" with difficulty on hard. I can pretty much beat every other race vs race combination on any map set at hard difficulty. This is the only one I can't seem to win. I have tried an uncountable number of times. Please let me know if you've managed to do this and if so, how.
Thanks!

Now there's a shortage of funny matches to play.
So I invited you to test it out whether it's possible or not

I won as khral against sap at last.
Generally the map is favor for sap.
However, I find some point on the map kharl players can exploit when I really play in it.
1) The moutain wall from north to south seem favor for marines.
But they're continuous line of moutain with some forest between.
That's mean marines usually able to move just 1 block in that area.
While your ants often able to move 2 blocks.
Thus, it's easier for you to harm sap bases near the wall with your ants.
And oftenly I can find some sweet spots my swarmers can hurt a marine
and his fellow marines can't revenge me.
2) There's only gate in the middle.
If you close the gate well, sap can't send jeeps to run across your land.
In the game I close the gate with ants/garuda/swarmers.
3) And because of 1) and 2) I found my infectors can survive fairly well
sending plague across the wall every turn they're still alive.
And that weaken all sap units, especially copters.
Despite Evad built engineers prompt to heal his troops. But I able to deliver plague every turn is just like cheating.
It's much difficult to kill infectors in this map since jeeps can't pass the gate if kharl players block it properly.
However, Evad still managed to kill some of mine by his jeeps.
4) Also note your aerial kharl can move from east to west in one turn.
While sap units except copters require 2 turns or more to swap between the 2 fronts.
Exploit this. Fly your swarmers & garudas to hit where it weak.
And run away before marines and jeeps can catch you.
Thanks Evad for joining my invite. Good game, tough battle

StarryBlink, you misunderstood what we were trying to do. We were trying to beat Khraleans as the Sapiens. I tried many times and it seems almost impossible on that map. Not sure if it's an imbalance issue or just a matter of the size, terrain and credits per turn just having favorable conditions for the Khrals.

A good player will defeat any race with  Sapiens on almost any RATED maps. As surprising as it might seems to you, most top players favor and play Sapiens. Each race has it's strengths and weaknesses. It's more about learning how to use them.

Oh I'm sorry. My bad English gramma did me again 
Well, if you mean to beat kharl when you're sap in the map wild plain.
Look on the map I think it should be easier and straightforward.
There're already a lot of mountain in the center.
Just send your marines to fill those mountains.
With copters hitting and running behind. Should be easy.
It's my opinions base on just looking the map, however.
The best way to prove is to play it out.
So, my invitation to you is on the way, enjoy !
