How do I get good
Hello. This is my first time doing this, but I am in need of help. I’ve played a little bit of the game and it’s fun, but I can’t seem to play on the hard difficulty without getting curb stomped. I am just looking for some advice about what I can do in order to be a competent player of the game so I can be able to win on hard, because the ai is so insane that I’m forced to play on easy just to have a chance.

Switch off every other faction but one. For example, play US against Central America. It will be much easier even on Hard.

I do that minus the hard part. I feel like it kinda cheapens the experience don’t you think? I’ve gone so far as to turn diplomacy off. Is their anything else that can help?

Is this against the AI or against players?
In general, alliances are SWOLE; tech sharing is insanely OP.

If you use the discord you can find 5-10 guys easily enough on public servers.

Uhhh, my personal experience is that the AI is pretty garbage tbh. I would take a look at the aspects of combined arms warfare in general and try out new strategies to see which units you can manage the best.

Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to come off as bragging. It just isn't the best at production and research prioritization or handling things like spec ops, etc.
Against the AI I have found that using medium range ballistic missiles with non nuclear missiles to be very effective at stopping them from attacking you. I usually end up setting a strike plan to get them to just destroy everything that can attack, like armies and air bases.
