It isn't that they are STUPID, they're just following orders. Granted,
it's at the expense of LIVING, but hey, they're fanatics, I guess. ;)

The WORST thing about infantry is the result of standing IN THE LINE
OF FIRE of a flamethrower as s/he flambe's a target. <Shrugs> Tiberium
sure must sap the will to live. ;)

WarCraft II, though glitzy, isn't as good as C&C overall. However, I
think their AI is a bit better -- the units actually FIGHT and RUN
when they encounter someone and the peons/peasants actually RUN
somewhere when attacked. ;)
