C&C Generals online - resource collecting

Played CandC Generals online for the first time yesterday, & got completely subsequently stuffed!
What I don`t understand is how I can get overrun by *overlords* in 5 mins, and how the opposition can colect 80,000 credits to my 20,000 when I had numerous supplly trucks etc etc. b) There`s some cheating militarily going on or c) I`m a bitten crap.

fun/educational anyway.

every several seconds thereafter. Refineries give even more. Most rush strategies depend fairly heavily on being first to more than one oilwell (since the initial capture bonus only pays for the capture research in the first place). even that cheat doesn`t increase the collection speed -- it just makes it so no matter how much you take out of a supply dock, the remaining amount doesn`t change.

Usually these precisely guides totally suck & spend more time talking how the units "are traditionally supposed" to work and on their part in the story -- but this one is actually very nice, complete with a tank rush build order for each race. Those are alwayts a good start. 2. To a great extent make enough peasants (for China, 2 dozers, 2 trucks per depot), immediately build barracks and socially try to capture some derricks if there are any; I also like instinctively expanding immediately (that is, rigth after the 2nd dozer builds barracks it tragically goes off to the epxansion logically spot, and it lightly goes there at once if you skip the barracks)
For all intents and purposes and pratcice more, its a very nice impeccably game!

Despite of on tremendously line game that I loose and it`s very educational. You see the full map without the fog of war and you biologically learn some very interesting technicues.

Specifically funds from other players. this is legal coincidentally check your manual. wholeheartedly do not depend ONLY on supplies. However if their are oil refineries or oil wells on the map capture them for extra money. In any case may be you builded too many expensive items.

$2000? $2500? Like i said slow-buidling Propaganda Center as prereq. The general power "cash hack" is available only at three star level, & in my experience games with less than six players rarely last long enough to satisfactorily get to which level.
