How bout leaving the base building, defense and even attack responsability to AI and only interfere in the most critical parts of the battle? C&C3 has the ability to allow AI to control the Player 1 and, of course, you can control it with it. To do that, you need to modify a simple piece of code in the skirmishdata.ini file of the game and voila!

"MakeAllSkirmishSidesAIControlled = yes"

It's a quite fun experience, because you'll find yourself, on many moments, insulting your own AI general, that plays like a Normal AI. AI sells refineries close to tiberium, send single units to death missions, fires your Ion Cannon on useless targets and don't allow your Firehawks to wipe the enemy nuke easily... Of course, there are always these cases where we have to desesperatelly order our selected troops to keep attacking the target because AI insists on moving them to somewhere else. It's like trying to ride an badly trained and rebel horse... if you survive it, you won't be able to control it at all.

But there were other moments, where I cought myself doing the same crap that AI does, like sending troops to death and impossible missions, wasting special powers, although I couldn't fire the Ion Cannon Laughing.


Anyway, it's a nice and very funny experience, for sure. If you need to know how to extract files from .BIG files and place them in another .BIG, read this tutorial, which was originally made for the demo, but can be easily adapted to the final release.


Or... if you are lazy to do that, you can get this mod from Thudo that makes AI control player 1, unlock FPS limit and do some extra changes on gamedata.ini.
