what does a handicap in starcraft 2 actually do?

i'm not exactly sure what it does. i guess the reason why i ask is because...I'm trying to get the Insane AI Romp achievement, which is win Win 10 solo evenly matched Custom Games against Insane A.I. opponents. its really difficult for me to win 1, let alone 10...And i was wondering if i played with a handicap, would that help me beat the Insane AI, and would i still be able to get the achievement if i do it 10 times?

    It adjusts Unit (And I think Building) Health.

    Insane AI is very difficult due to the fact it cheats (Gains more minerals and Gas per Harvest) I'm also pretty sure Handicaps won't work for the achievements

    You could potentially try a very early Zerg rush and pray for the best if your quick and ready for a counter you can at least slow down their production rates by destroying their Probes/SCVs/Drones

    .....Oh and keep practicing, work your way up against progressively harder enemies, the AI's generally have the same ideas, so you should get used to them...the only thing is that the AI spends uber efficiently and knows how to build very well.

    so just work your way up and get used to being at your limit for soldiers, and just barely surviving. There is strategy there, it is just hard to figure out on your own and even harder to explain to someone else.

    IMO John is correct, the AI cheats, it builds faster and gets more stuff.....
