Um, I'm not even sure if this is in the right section, so I apologize in advance. But as the title says, can anyone help a noob here, please?
I've actually been an avid fan of RTS games. I enjoy them, really, I've played a few like the Warcraft series and Starcraft, and now here's Command and Conquer. However, even though I enjoy them, it doesn't really mean I win a lot, IN FACT I lose a lot more than I win.
Like, I don't even recall any moment that I actually won, but anyway... I'm pretty into this game lately, my friend carry me around, while I act as bait, because that's as far as I am useful. But seriously, I've tried playing alone at least a hundred times now against Easy AI. I lost all of it. Within 5~10 minutes of the game.
My friend would tell me, "You should be able to beat Easy AI, they're kinda dumb and they take forever to progress."
To be honest, I don't know what part of take forever she meant because I haven't even built a war factory and they already sent me at least 10 of theirs.
I could use some simple tips, really... It would be better if my friend would actually help me but all she mostly does is mock me of my incompetence. So anyway, should I play on a certain speed for starters? Should I use a certain Side for starters (I usually go random)? Is there a sequence of structure to build I should follow?
Thank you very much in advance, I deeply apologize for the intolerable stupidity I might have potentially shown.
