Trying to improve myself

[Commander Handsome]

I have recently started to play RA2, and am enjoing it immensely

At the moment I am playing an illegal version (Don't ban me, kind moderators, a legit copy is in the post) so I cannot play online.

The thing is, I can't tell if i'm any good. I can consistently beat 2 Brutal enemies, usually as Iraq or America (though I can't see what all the fuss about Iraq is for). - And once, by simply defending and attacking with Paradrops, I beat 3 brutals.

How many can you guys beat? Am I a n00b?

The problem is: we can't either. Comparing AI to human players is impossible.
Defeating AI is practically easy b/c it is predictable.

So I, and probably the others, can't tell you if you're good. Though I cna say one thing: if you're gonna play online, forget about playing defensive. Against the better players, it will not work.

I can beat 2, sometimes 3, AI by myself, depending on the map. I know some people who can beat 7 Brutals but are pretty much the same level as I am when playing with humans. You can't compare # of Brutals you can beat as a ranking of true skill.

Iraq doesn't seem good to you b/c the computer never uses more than 5-7 vehicles at once.

Test it out though by using it on your own units on unholy alliance, get about 25 grizzlies and make it be the "enemy" force. Load a flak track with 5 desos, run it right up to the mass of grizzlies. Now force fire the grizzlies on the flak trak so it explodes and all 5 desos pop out - deploy them all immediately. Watch the effect.

Now try it on a group of like 25 mirages.

Theres a problem with your test run thing stat, you can't play unholy alliance with AI.

It's possible to play unholy alliance if you change something in rules.ini. No offense, but you are a n00b. It's virtually impossible to be good without playing online.

i can beat 7. bermuda triangle
destory the bridge in all both side. build 10 flak trak or 10 ifv for kirov and airplane and as a base defense. then build your attack forces, if iam ready i repair the bridge and attack computer one at a time. usually mirage tank and prism or kirov apocalypse siege chopper and tesla tank are my attack forces. i also build a prism tesla bunker etc for additional base defense.

iam soviet in yuris revenge when im playing vs human iam not that good, they destroy my miner by airplane that is my problem and the allied battle bunker + 5 guard gi inside is very tough against apocalypse . mine is pirated too. im playing in computer caffei

Which map are you talking about? How did you get eight AIs, there's a maximum of eight minus you of course.

LOL you are calling ME a noob? BTW its not in rules.ini it's in mpmodesmd.ini
I just said that because i didn't think that he would be able to access Something like that, being so new to the game and stuff.

There's an "Unlock Skirmish Modes" patch that let's you play everything versus AI.

He said he was playing against 7 AIs not 8.

[YuriRuler90]

The first time he posted he said 8. He then went back and edited in his post to say 7, after we pointed that out.

[Statalyzer]
