Yes i want to try online as i can beat the same map, so far 100+ straight
wins against 5 Brutal armies, i vary the opponets countries and find it
offers some differances on the attack against me, i thought a human would be
able to do better tho, or at least a more interesteing way of attack.
My Pc acc to Generals min spec shouldnt run it, i have a Duron 700, slightly
o/clocked not 800mhz Athlon but plays fine. Myabe its due to memory being
256mb.
