first I'd like to say HI!! after thinking about TA, and not finding any copies in local stores, * my copy is in another house stored in the attic which is rented out atm* searching the internet for a download, no luck. I ran across SPRING!!
sooo happy!!
now here's my problem. I like enjoying the game, not rushing and making the perfect build. an AI that doesn't build wind generators within my base, etc.
Is there a way to delay the AI from starting for 10 min or something?
thanks!

try immediately building an atlas and commnapping the enemy comm, then drop him when you're ready

All ais we have now are pretty dumb, and none pays attention if there are enemy forces near by or not before building something somewhere. I suggest you play with players in porc maps instead, but if you are a noob make sure you play 1vs1, ffa, in a map (or position)where the failure of one member of the team doesnt means the death of the others or just spect.

I would argue that a build is not perfect if it requires the enemy to sit still for ten minutes. A perfect build would be capable of fending attackers off at all times while still gaining economic superiority. You can risk early defenses for faster economy but you'll be fucked thoroughly if your opponent starts attacking before you're done booming.

Play greenfields.
Otherwise, just play a single player game and when you are ready to fight the enemy, give 20 corkrog (or whatever) to the enemy and march them into your base and laugh gleefully as your 6 jillion annihilator cannons reduce them to slag (I imagine you'll get bored of this pretty fast).

Unleash you set ourself a time limit to send the krogs in... then it becomes a challenge for your economy skills... :)
