some questions about RA2

I have some questions about RA2:

1: I have been playing for a little while and I always get my butt
kicked, hard.  I was wondering how my opponents manage to build 3 to 4
times more structures and equipment then I can in the first 15 to 20
minutes.  I can only build as fast as the program lets me, and I still
lag way behind.

2:  How can people build extra con-yards with in minutes of starting a
game? I have witnessed on several games that by the time I get a radar
or airport up (usually my 4 or 5 building) they have several con-yards
all over the map.

3:  if my opponents are using cheats is there any way I can
prevent/block them? I am just looking for a fair and equal game.

TIA

it is not the AI that I have problems with, it is the people over the
internet. I don't want to give out their names .... yet

He knows, that's why he suggested you only play with friends you know won't
cheat.

right
i got that part
what i am suggesting is to go around the problem, and just play with people
you know against the AI. That way you are all on the same side with no need
to cheat. and of course your all friends anyway
