Honestly mate, for your own sanity, just get a new 'puter, right? Tell me you will do that man, if you do anything, just do that, man, please The closest I have experienced to your plight is when I was using my Packard Bell Easynote that I got back in '06 with a Pentium M 1.6 Ghz and 2GB of mem with a Geforce 6200 and that was a travesty. You can get a comp that will run this game well for 500 quid mate and I'll tell you what it's like a brand new game with all of the settings turned up. You'll be amazed at how much fun you can have. Life is too short for a slow computer, trust me.

If you really want something more like Trench Warfare, you probably want some either the Black Ops or the Total Warfare mod. Maybe the total vetrancy(though in that case you probably want to turn of shields, and even then it will break the game).

Certain maps also work better for turtling, usually ones with choke points, and lots of mass behind said choke points.

A mod that makes Stationary Defenses more powerful is another option. Offensive units would melt when they got too close

I would disagree with this on the basis that Lamar's involves a lot of movement and standing still as in a trench war with sporadic fire isn't really an option.

Then I realized that it involves building a huge army of the same unit and sending hundreds of LABs mindlessly to their doom, which is EXACTLY like a trench war.

You can mod fa to more closely resemble trench warfare through a sim mod. Simply prevent building t2 t3 and t4 air, and reduce all unit movement speeds to half

Definitely upgrade your computer.

On the fact that you suddenly get the big advantage with an experimental. An experimental on its own is good. It wrecks bases and it can easily decimate T2 armies. However, it is powerless against the stronger T3 bots.

You can still use Experimentals well, even against such T3 armies. What you need is a good defensive position (A couple of shields, some Point defenses and some of your own T3 bots) and you put your experimental in it. It'll give a good amount of damage without sacrificing the Experimental's Hit Points).

In case of your UEF Fatboy, the effect of turning the tables is even bigger because those things just happily fire at everything in range, softening the enemy units up and letting your own kill them next.

Amd 3200? I'm using a 3000 for a keychain right now, lol.

Time for an upgrade, even for office and web browsing, eh?

i doubt my computer could play online, i only get 2-4 fps as soon as things get going. it becomes like a slideshow so i doubt that would be suitable for mp. i just love the game so much tha ti endure this.

Also i get immediate crash to desktop when i try and launch FAF. i get this with many newer games. maybe ill upgrade my old amd3200 one of these days . i just hardly ever play games so it hasnt really been justified.

Also try the new coop campaign. It's a lot more challenging than the original campaign and you can play with other people that can assist you if needed ("GIVE ME MASS NOW!!!").

It's clear you have just started to learn, how the game.works and I hope you 'll change.tastes. Enroute.
I 've learnt to respect people's tastes though, so to be useful to you:
You could try thermo. Games, Isis no rush x2, no air,, gap of rohan, rush me more etc.
There's a. Constant pop of players playing these maps each night.
Even if you play only these types of games, playing online will make you better, AI is only to.get you started, like the first gear in a car.

If you check out the map vault here on FaF, and put in "survival" for a keyword, there are a bunch of maps designed for just digging in. The AI sends larger and larger streams of higher tech stuff as the game goes. Highly entertaining if turtle is your thing. There are usually custom games going on for one as well, if you are looking to play with others.

3 things

1st: all AI's suck (and giving it 3 times mass&buildpower doesnt change the fact that it sucks, it just makes it harder to defend at the start and denies any offensive actions)
2nd: Skipping 3 tech levels doesnt work vs a anyhow decent opponent so saying that T4 is wrecking balance is not viable, infact a T4 land will for example lose to T3 havybots masswise
3rd: In a "serious" 1v1 it's exactly like you describe how you would like it, try to grab mroe and more mapcontroll, raid your opponents expansions or rush his base, 1v1 games most often dont last until exp-stage.

My suggestion: play online
