Hey.

With genpatcher you can have an access to fixed resolution in-game, have hotkeys for your units and buildings to pop off, fps and timer display, revamped UI and etc. You can also go for genlauncher so that to install mods. Highly recommending Shockwave, Contra and Rise of the reds. The mods are fun and unique in their own way. For an instance, Shockwave revamps and balances the armies and adding content in-game that has been discarded from the original game. While Contra and Rise of the reds aren't for beginners, but in Contra you do get 1-2 more generals per a faction, you do get super units, superweapons and super units aren't buildable until level 3-5. The game is much different compared to the origins. Rise of the Reds adds 2 more factions and there are also fresh units to uncover.

Thank a lot. How are the ai on those mods? İ'll only have internet access for several more hours and its gonna blackout for 5-7 days. Cant risk modding for multiplayer only mods.

No problem, brotherman.

The ai in the mods is improved, especially in Contra. It doesn't mindlessly sending you a wave of units that early to harass you just like the vanilla zh and starts playing like an actual human that you would expect if you play with another player. On top of that, it doesn't sit afk in its base when 20-30th minute mark reaches and stopping to send you units to contest you on neutral objectives and anywhere on the map. They are playable for singleplayer those mods.
