But he was correct on many things. let's say for example C&C:
you start off with a few footsoldiers and MCV. you start building your base. but hey the computer already has the base and all upgrades, yet he decides to send only a fraction of an army to attack you possibly even only his footsoldiers instead of tanks and all. is that intelligence? no. i am sure that is just made to make the game more interesting. because otherwise you would loose immediatelly.
The whole point of not being attacked immediatly when you got there is that it's story related. Would it make sense that the computer start to attack you with everything it got as soon as your start screen apear while he should not even know you are there yet? Absolutly not. Most of the C&C missions involved that you got there unseen and those missions were coded that way. That's why you always had a sporting chance to create your base in the first few minutes of each mission unless you got reckless and gave your position to the ennemy.

If you want a very good strategy game, I recommend Original War.
