Description:Shhh.... the computer is thinking.... Well, not really, but it does a pretty good impression. This mission loosely simulates Artificial Intelligence, a concept Verdagon came up with a couple months ago, and this is a joint venture between the two of us. Kudos to Verdagon for a really slick concept and a killer layout! This mission not only responds to what you build, it also responds to what you do! Not only that, it has a couple strategies of its own to try out on you!
The plot: Omni has taken control of a key pass through the mountains. Build a base and clear the pass for Acme's offensive!

Not more challening missions...
Couldn't you give players like me a chance? Please?
Good work on AI/kind of AI/not AI at all but you're calling it that to make it sound good by the way. I'll have to try this out.

I couldn't resist a little marketing...
Although I never said it was AI, I said it just simulates AI, and loosely, at that.
All smoke and mirrors? Maybe. But try the mission, and make only rocket troopers. Then try again with only Hydras. You'll see what I mean.

... then try it again with a full-fledged force. You'll see what he means.

Rocket Troopers: Instant AI make Security Guards
Hydras: Instant AI make Rocket Troopers

So...the best way to combat this is to make like 20 security guards, troopers, raiders, hydras, eagles, liberators, broadswords, cyclops, dominions, and bullpups.

Yep. Or what I like to do is make a 20-trooper, 4-liberator, 16-hydra and back it up with about ten cyclopses....
Always worked for me.

Rocket troopers counter cyclops... cyclops do the least damage to them. They do more damage to vehicles than infantry. But, still, what is this mission about?

Heh. Oops, sorry, UGMC! Didn't see your post, up there.
Yeah. Describing the plot might actually be a good idea (duh! Stupid me.) I'll edit the upload accordingly. It's fairly simple, really. Omni is in control of the mountain pass. Destroy Omni and take possession of the pass. That's basically it.

Kudos to the most challenging and fun mission I've played yet! It took me several times to get a plan that held ground. I tried to beat this one with only infantry - to my great demise! I'm looking forward to more displays of great talent out there.

Does OMNI send small forces to constantly harass you? Cuz I'm addicted to towers after playing UGMC's Portal.
