Titan gets +100% on everything, yes, and like all AIs comes with a free maphack.
However, beating Titan 1v1 is far from impossible. Even a sub-par player can beat it by exploiting its idiocy (it will chase down single units across the map, waste time attacking wall sections, converge on an artificial chokepoint filled with towers etc.).
You have to be a decent player to beat it without over-exploiting the AI I guess. Are you playing with the expansion?
The general idea is to destroy his eco, otherwise you'll have a hard time catching up.
p.s. watching titan AIs fight should be for entertainment purposes only, don't even begin to think they have a clue when it comes to playing well, they are just Hard AI with a res boost.
edit: actually tried a game vs titan as it's been so long I don't even remember what level of difficulty it was really.
1v1 supremacy watering hole, Ra vs standard Titan Ra normal map size.
Having been training starcraft 2 for the last few months I was somewhat out of practice with this game, just threw a build together at random really. When I realised how easy it was going to be I dropped my APM down to about 20 and just fvcked around really until he died.
What I found is he gathers in really retarded spots and then just keeps sending villagers to die (???), also he cannot protect his economy for shit and has no clue how to deal with units in his base or attacks from more than one simultaneous direction.
Here is the rec. Basically I just made some Sphinx, which btw you can do about 100x more effectively than shown here, with a good BO and control, then into standard Egyptian trade/farm/tower bs with elephant/catapult/roc.
Sometimes you need to scare the lambs,
tell tales of evil bad wolves.
Because if there is nothing to fear,
they might think for themselves.
