If your base is unprotected, you're in trouble anyway.
If you have some rocketguys and 3 APCs full of flameguys arrive. Will you cry again, that enemy is too strong?

Right now tested a strategy against RushAI:

power - baracks - couple of soldiers and engeneer (for stealing unprotected base).
3 minutes until gg )
That's what I call rush.

Obviously, switching to normal or turtle is enough.
Only rushAI attacks after 3-5 minutes.

If you harvest with 3-4 trucks (as rushAI does) it is quite easy to defend and counterattack.
If map has derricks - it becomes too easy (because AI do not use them).

Tested with 1x1 rushAI and small map. Even with rather dumb AI it is very risky strategy. If you attack with 3 or less yaks - they arrive at 3 min, but cannot kill CY. If you collect 4 yaks and strike simultaneously - you might destroy CY, but there are a lot rocket soldiers and other troops around ...

Hello, guys! 1. Was it discussed somewhere, how many rush-bots Gargamel (or other top 5 ladder guys) can reliably wipe out simultaneously? Rush is dumb in macro, but quite OK in micro, so I guess it is around 3-4 at most? 2. Is RushAI intentionally left blank? :lol: I mean, current bot skills are ok...
