is the AI really that bad?

[zephyr]

my only intention of the game is to play with a friend and just vs the hardest bots together but ive seen multiple people say they AI is terrible, is this true? i grew up on c&c 3 but never played anything older than generals too so is there anything i'd need to know about this game first?

thanks for the input

The original games were never really designed with AI mp in mind. Even on single player, merely walling off areas with sandbags stops enemy units as they don't see them as enemy structures.

C&C was a late first generation RTS made by the company that pioneered RTS games. Multiplayer was also in its infancy as web connections fast enough to support real time games were rare outside of LAN parties.

So a lot of the lessons for AI scripting just hadn't been learned yet.

All that being said, the AI will build up and try to steamroll you with units until it runs out of funds and you can walk in and destroy their base.

Search up the user maps for 3-player co-op and those pack decent A.I. for being challenging. The "hard" ones are improved.

These are for Tiberian Dawn.
