Warcraft 2 AI is bestter than C&C? What are you, blind?? Have you ACTUALLY played war2???? You see, when I tell a unit to go to the other side of a lake/river, he just go to the margin and stops there. I have MANUALLY direct him to the other side. It's damn stupid. Another stupid thing is when I say them to go to an area, the GO to that area, even if there are enemies attacking them. It's too damn stupid!!!
