Post your own strategy on how to beat the new AI.

My Allied Strat:

First I build ggi's to defend against early tank rushes with a few gi'sto defend against infantry. Once i have a war factory i build mirage tanks far infront of my base entrances to defend against long range units. Once I have a tech center, i start building up my attack force. First i send in around 15 mirage tanks up to the enemy base to stop most units coming out so they can get promoted. then i will build 10 IFVs and prism tanks.
The prism tanks take out defences from long range and the IFVs protect against aircraft. If there are grand cannos i send in rocketeers to take out the power. Then use prism tanks to take out un-powered defences and the conyard.

If the enemy has grand cannons and patriots defending the power i cut them off from their ore by killing their ore miners. They will keep rebuilding them but keep destroying them. They will eventually have to sell alll their defences and high tech buildings to build ore mienrs. Once they are crippled enough send in a few tanks to wipe out whats left of them.

Nice, but i think everyone's stratagy is gonna be similar, defend...strike back. The only difference is how to defend. Due to the AI cheat the computer's tanks are more than 3 times that you can have in the same time. so... you have to use good counter unit to fight and micro management (which i suck at) Anyways, i use soviet's rihno tanks and infector tanks, good combo and watch the raidar for siege weapons. then send 5-6 tanks for miner hunt, the computer would ran out of money and sell their structure to produce more miner and stop produce tanks and infantry, eventurally the computer's base is weakened by itself(lol, still stupid).

About the AI cheat... As allied general said, "get over with it, develope some skills." It is ok when the computer is just producing nornal tanks, but... what about Centurion? 2 or 3 centurions... you know... that's really too much... you need about 25 aircraft to kill one or 20 tank D. and you lose 8 of them in the end. All of the above coast you much more than just a centurion and much longer time. so...

You can only get one Centurion.

I'm talking about AI cheat... i know YOU can only have one centurion, but...

[Speeder]

It rarely uses more than one at once.

[PAT THE BAKER]

Oh I thought you meant to send in 3 centurions. If the AI cheats imagine an army of Boris's coming at your base.

[Lee]

I love the Soviets. Rhino, Iron Dragon, Emperor and Centurion base rape covered by Flakys of course

[KorJax]

For Soviets, in early game, belive it or not, but flak troopers and 10-15 Tesla Troopers can hold the base very well.

I managed to survive off of only 1 refinery and 5 elete Tesla Troopers for a long time against hordes of enemies. Elete Teslas's are extremely powerfull, and can destroy a batallion of tanks easily. A problem with them is that they are slow, and if the enemy AI uses snipers, you might have to retreat with them.

Also, try and garrison your troops, and have your defense forced infront of them. Why? The AI's artillery and attack force is priortized to attack garrisoned buildings. If you "lead" the AI twords your garrison and defenses around it, instead of your actual base, you can exploit this and let your defenses take care of them. Many times they will even ignore your defenseive structures shooting at them long enough for them to be easy work by a Tesla Coil or Sentry Gun, just so they can try and get close enough to the garrioon to shoot at it.

This doesnt always work though. Somtimes they will just forget about the garrison and go straight for the base.

I found out how the AI cheats and used it to my advantage:

[王中王]

Dude, dude...
I want to know how to let the AI cheat work for us...
I beg you, reveal the secret.

[cdmtx(YR)]

WTF!!!!!!!

Tell me how you did that!

[lefthand]

I've only been able to beat the AI on island maps. Easily I just build alot of subs and akulas and then attack them with a kirov rush. I use the subs to take out robot tanks and place as many around their base so they can't build a navy. Then I use the akulas to take out air units. Works very well...but I can't manage to beat the AI on just land alone.
After a 45minutes I am out of resources and unable to repel any further attacks.

It's a sercret

So it's a secret, I see how it is.

I bet you were just sitting there building the artillery, and you found no secret.

very likely to be true, and he's playing MO 1.2v and easy AI, becaues in 2.0v the AI won't allow you to survive to build all these expensive units and they aren't effective against tank battles.

[cdmtx(YR)]

No its v2.0

[Speeder]

ROFL@pic.

It's 2.0 indeed, look at the War Factory.

Hehehe. Nice division Pat.

[PAT THE BAKER]

To stop the AI spread out mirage tanks to defend your base and then build more to gaurd ore fields. Then build another MCV and build ore refineries around the ore fields gaurded by mirage tanks and IFV's. This will also stop the enemy from getting funds and they'll be butter. AS for the AI cheat I aint tellin you.

EDIT: I'll give you a hint, I didn't have a...
