WOOT! I finally found a solid strategy that beats the computer on expert level.
I easily wiped out the expert Ottoman civ and then I destroyed expert Russians.
I read this strat on an old post I had found.... If I can find it back I will post it here if anyone has interest in seeing it.
I don't play online (only SP and LAN) and defeating 3 experts is seriously no problem.
ES made one of the stupidest AI's I have ever seen in any RTS. I was able to win on hard (the best non-cheating AI) after less than 10 games, having never played an RTS before at the time.
Wilson_teh_Great:Chaob.....almost every competitive player (meaning one who plays online) can beat the expert comp, I'm surprised you consider this worth talking about
LOL I had posted on a thread before (which I was unable to find again) and a 2nd Lieutenant was asking about a strategy for beating expert comps because although he could beat online players he couldn't beat the EXPERT computer.
And the expert computer definately plays better than a Sergeant does online.
Derek_Zoolander:I hate SEAR so much, lol. I think I'm doing it wrong. I just can't get it to work very well at all, especially for the weakened economy.
Ya I tryed it too like 2 weeks ago... It had such a pathetic economy involved.
But also in the thread to which I referred the guy wanted a strat that was not a rush. Like where you try to beat the economy of the expert computer, sure you can outsmart it in rush but to out eco it is much harder.
