No RTS game developed by Westwood in the 90's had proper balancing, one faction was always vastly superious and thus was played by everybody (the first game to ever have a kind of "reasonable" balance being Tiberian Sun) but it was acceptable during a time where gaming wasn't a multi-million Dollar industry and games were much less polished than they are today. Back in 1995 I could excuse C&C's problems. I'm not saying the balancing has to be spot-on perfect but devs should at least make an effort. Still, none of this should bother you since it's fun to accept the developer's inability to create a semi-decent balanced game and find a way to win as Nod against next to impossible odds, right? Right?
The only real advantage Nod had in the first C&C were Stealth tanks (they were undetectable at the time) but literally nothing else. Whats fun is accepting these problems and finding a way to win anyway.So you found Tiberian Dawn's MP fun too, right? I mean, sure, winning against GDI as Nod was tough as nails 'cause GDI had better tanks, better infantry, they had aircraft (Nod didn't) and a recharchable Ion cannon while Nod had.
Similar games that still have active mp get patched for balancing CONSTANTLY. Originalmente postado por Zion:To think that any developer could completely fix the balance is a fools dream. Be especially mindful about your harvesters - they tend to get stuck (especially during busy fights with lots of units where they'd simple stop moving), meaning no income unless you move them manually. You'll get used to their strange behaviour if you play more often. It's always been this way and is no different in Generals/ZH, Red Alert 3 or C&C 4 (a deeper issue of the SAGE engine I suppose). The pathfinding of units in all SAGE-powered C&C games is infamously bad. The AI glitches on the other hand were always a problem of the game. For instance, they nerfed the economy drastically to slow down game speed (because TW's MP was pretty much "who builds up the bigger Scorpion tank army and rushes faster?" up to that point). Some of the issues you mentioned were introduced intentionally by EA. *wink wink*) or live with patch 1.9's changes. That means you either grab a retail copy off eBay (or get the game files via other sources.

You have to play the game with patch 1.9 - the download contains no other patches' files. This is not possible in the download versions (Steam, Origin) though. In the retail version it was possible to start the game in any version you want since patches were cumulative. They only had MP gameplay in mind while completely ignoring any SP content, breaking the campaign at multiple points and even screwing with the skirmish mode (they didn't patch the AI to adept to the changes they did to game balance). I was kind of disappointed with the game.ĮA pretty much destroyed the game with their patches from 1.4 forward. If this is just a bug in my comp, please tell me. They stop than try to go, and than stop at every rubble. It's not even a 100 or some ridiculous number. I have to click 5 times to make every unit moving if I have 20 units. Like starts going left and right trying to find a path or just give up. But everytime I give orders the bigger the Unit is, the stupider action it does. ~ The AI - I remember that the AI was pretty stupid. He's harvesters came to me and I destroyed it. what? In multiplayer I was playing with the AI and after 10-20 minute (aint counting, sry) we run out of ALL the tiberium.
When I last played the game, I had 4 harvesters for 2 fields. Rocketeers destroy the turrets pretty easily, than the bunkers and I don't even mention the flamer squads which easily survive 2-3 turrets. At what point is that okay.? Some missions are just impossibles, because of this. Yet the GDI Turret, weak, okay damage, constant repair. But it has a center piece, which rarely has to be repaired. NOD has 3 branch, each does big damage against infantry, and costs the same. Still, why can they do that? This makes the turret useless. NOD has a lot of branching and beside each other.
Half of the rocket troopers, (GDI-NOD) stop and start shooting the turret before it can shoot back. I played multiplayer and I had problems with that, some things were just strange, but where the problems most stacked were the Campaign. It's just that many things are buggy, and unplayable because of this. However the last time I played this game, none of these problems existed. My first impression is that this game is hilariously broken and unbalanced. I played with this game when I was younger, with 1.2 (or 1.4) and I finally bought it on Steam.
