C&C3 Skirmish AI for Player1 is working its normal build/tech/tactical/strategic scripts BUT the big dfference is you can intervene without problem and do yer own thing. The AI never cancels your build requests although it can override you and take control of units, for example. So if the AI is NOT building good base defenses locations or selling buildings you can do this yourself. Mind you, if you start to build a building, when it finishes the AI will likely place it for you.

I also bumped the entire game speed up by factor of 4 so the game on my end now runs 4x faster so its even more crazier! Everything builds, moves, and works faster. Omitted the FPS limit so there is none. The key is to NEVER hit RESTART but to quit the game to the select map/sides/skills screen then start the game. If you just RESTART the map the game speed will for some reason go back to default but if you exit the game to the pre-game screen then yer ok so its a real minor tradeoff.
I also tried to get the map to zoom out more but not taking it. Odd. Also added some other tweaks but wow.. really blown away by this. The game speed hack will make AI editing and tweaking REAL EASY now as I can see all changes in minutes rather than 10s of mins. The ability to have the human player partially controlled by the Skirmish AI is a nice luxury but since the AI is treated "as a human" it doesn't get the same resource benefits as even a HARD AI but thats ok.
I have the edited MISC.BIG if people want it. Its only 1.90mb BUT please make an obvious backup of your old one or else patching the game will suck for you.

Btw, I used FinalBig to made changes to the misc.big file to make the above possible.
