What's the point. If you ally with a computer all it does is put it's
troops in your base which eventually block all ways in or out of your
base. It's very annoying!

Also The AI is'nt that good! Al it does is build some troops, attack,
and build some more, over and over again. No smart use of migs,tanya's
and so on. It's just plain stuppid!
