MOD to Pause AI Opponents for Set Amount of Time at Start of Match

[callen561]

Has anyone ever modded the game to 'pause' AI at the onset of a match? It would be fun to have 5-30min to get a sweet base defense set-up and then let a bunch of Brutal AI go full steam and try to defend it all by yourself or with a teammate.

I no longer play against AI, but it "sounds" good ?

Some unofficial maps include preset timers with temporary barriers (including ground and air defenses) that would cease to exist or be deactivated when the countdown ends, preventing players from attacking each other before that.

you can do it by modding a map, or if you arent playing on the cncnet client, by modding your rulesmd.ini file. the flag that controls the time delay from the start of the match until the time that the AI chooses an enemy and starts attacking is called "AIHateDelay=".
increase the aihatedelay values and you will get your target effect.
