Yea, I do it both ways for kicks. I've played skirmishes where I've built 12
nukes and waited for them all to charge up before wreaking nuclear havoc on
the enemy, and other games where I don't build any. Money is the key, ensure
a large, dependable influx of cash and you can do anything you want after
that. If I played online I'd probably be slaughtered, but beating the
computer isn't hard.
