Early game strategy?
Howdy yall!

Is anyone able to beat this damn AI in singleplayer instant action? I do just fine when the AIP uses the standard units, but whenever it decides to bring out the modded units I get stomped quickly in the early game.

The first wave of drones always goes pretty well, but as soon as the first squad of lancers and warriors turns up everything goes to hell. I have a really hard time dogfighting with them in the standard scout while the warriors are spraying hot death, and even if we wipe them out most of my units fail to escape from the resulting minefield alive.

I can usually get a pair of towers to protect one side of my base up by this time, but the enemy will have eaten through my other vulnerable side, (Usually where my 2nd extractor was) by that time, and I no longer have the resources to counterattack.

Again, I can still use the mod when the AIP chooses to attack with the regular units, but because a lot of effort was put into the modded units it feels like I'm missing out on most of the mod's content. Does anyone have any tips?

This is fighting as the ISDF against the Scions.

I'm attempting to make the new Level 1 AIP to be easy and capable of being beaten while solo. Request suggestions after trying it.

You got it! I'm looking forward to giving it a try!

>.> I'm so bad they had to make a new, easier level 1 for me! :D

I was working on a new AIP myself for my Katpak Asset pack for people to play/learn with

I just played ISDF v Scion with the Level 1 AIP on IA Barren, and destroyed the AI's base. It went to plan 3 right away. I was able to grab 2 pools right off the bat and build up enough Gun Tower defences to ward off their attacks. I then built up my base and built serv trucks ASAP to help heal the towers as they kept taking a good beating as the game advanced to the Late game plan. Then I built rocket towers mixed up with Gun Towers, started upgrading buildings after getting my tech center, got a utility cons out and built a couple artillery towers to help with the archer attacks. I played this whole game strictly in the bunker. I'm still open to tweaking the plan if you still feel it needs to be easier.
