Hi there C&C fans!
Recently I've been getting back into the C&C series after finding redalert1.com and using an old PC to setup a LAN, so I can play locally with a friend. We don't like to play online against others, in fact we only play co-op so we can ally and fight AI players. Also, from watching videos on Youtube it looks like online players only do tank rushes, which is boring to us, although I'm sure it requires a lot of micro skills. To each their own right?
So when reading the FAQ to find out the fantastic work Nyerguds and the C&C community has been doing with Patch 1.06, I wanted to add a suggestion of my own:
Please add AI players that can build bases. Back in the 90's I remember seeing unofficial additions (mods?) to C&C95 that allowed AI players to build pretty good bases in a Skirmish-like mode, like AI players in Red Alert do. This would also greatly enhance the fun in Skirmish for C&C95.
Perhaps you could find such an old mod for AI players to build bases, or use the Red Alert Skirmish & Multiplayer AI in C&C95, to add a wildcard to local & online matches?
PS: If there's a way to already do this, please forgive my ignorance on this subject. I did read the FAQ before coming here, but obviously I'm not the diehard player I used to be, like the fans here obviously are.
Seriously, the way everyone's working together (for example with CnCnet) to make the old C&C games run perfectly on new systems is amazing! It blows my mind how awesome everyone involved is -- and all the fans still playing are. I just wanted to tell folks like Nyerguds, thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! I registered in part just to say thanks.
