Supreme Commander 1/Forged Alliance

[TheRatcatcher]

Discuss viable strategies and tactics you like to use in Supreme Commander 1 and its subsequent expansion pack, Forged Alliance. Also talk about why the Cybran Nation is the most superior faction.

The only winning strategy is to get Supreme Commander 2.

supcom 1 is still the pinnacle of the RTS genre to this day, which says a lot about the sorry state of strategy games in the 2010s

UEF best faction. Units are versatile enough to not be one-trick ponies like the Aeon, yet unlike the Cybrans they don't try to do everything at once.

 

[Considered HARMful]

SupCom is the best Total Annihilation since Total Annihilation.

 

[Maude Snew]

1) Go UEF
2) Build a cluster of their extra special unique artillery
3) Enjoy what I imagine god blowing his giant load all over the enemy base to be like.

Against AI your best bet is to turtle as hard as you can, against players you also do that but you have to be faster about it. UEF is clearly superior since they get max tier defenses.

I hate RTS like farmers hates RaTS. Still bought SupCom on 360 and PC, never played once, maybe half the tutorial on one. Seemed cool.

I always wanted that step between MoO2 and something more micro.
