Dawn of the Tiberium Age (DTA) is a stand-alone mod that combines Tiberian Dawn (C&C 95) and Red Alert. While classic mode gets as close to the original game-play and balance as possible, Enhanced mode provides improved game balance and a lot of fun new stuff. DTA features many customization options for Skirmish and multiplayer (where you can play as GDI, Nod, Allies and Soviet on over 200 maps), challenging original singleplayer missions, as well as co-op missions. Since this is a stand-alone mod, you don't require anything but the mod itself to be able to play: the original game is not required.

Description
Looks like a termite infestation.
question, can you get ai allies or no?
If I'm not mistaken, you can add AI for any side you add to Tiberian Sun, it's just that it'll be about as bootleg as adding those extra sides...xD
By default you can actually only make the AI play as GDI or Nod in TS, unless you do a hack (edit the executable with a hex editor) to allow it to select more than just the first 2 factions. This hack has been applied in DTA, but now that we're using CnCNet5's spawner, that's no longer even necessary, since this allows you to directly select which faction you want the AI to play as (without the spawner the AI always plays as a random faction).
So in short; yes, the AI can play as all available factions in DTA (GDI, Nod, Allies and Soviet).
If you mean "Can I play on the same side as AI" Typically, no. Not in Tiberian Sun derivative games, however with the DTA launcher, I believe this becomes a distinct possiblity.
Now that I read Kane's post again, it seems his post can indeed also be interpreted like you did =P
And you're right, thanks to CnCNet5's spawner (and also DTA's launcher/client) you're now indeed also able to start the game while being allied to AI players.
