1 CAI plays perfectly fair, though i think it might take some short corners with intel (i.e, it will always find you). 1 CAI plays perfectly fair, though i think it might take some short corners with intel (i.e, it will always find you).

7 2) This is a game where you get almost all your gear within first ten seconds of game, just as you plop your factory. At 60 seconds, you should know where your enemy is. If you fail, at 180 seconds you can suddenly discover an assault gunship setting your village alight and there's nothing left to do (CAI doesn't do that, some players do when you don't scout). 7 2) This is a game where you get almost all your gear within first ten seconds of game, just as you plop your factory.

13 5) That said, CAI has some REAL HARD time dealing with following classes of units and tactics, so they can be considered cheating - but might be necessary to pick up the skills:
14 - anything heavy soon enough. My first CAI victories were as simple as "capture 10 metal spots, then rush crabe crabe crabe".
15 - heavy defenses, especially ones such as Annihilator and Doomsday Machine.
16 - aircraft, especially planes, because it almost never makes planes of its own (but you have to know how to use your bombers right)
17 - terraforming. make a ditch, and AI will never pass it.
18 - dominatrix. nuff said.
