Cheers dude :)

I do a bit more fighting with the AI on harder settings see how i do lol

I think i need to get the resource management sorted cause its not like say C&C red alert just need to get use to it and build more power plants lol

But i do think its better cause u don't have to worry why your harvester just ran into the enemy's base for no reason lol:D
 
Its all about getting your build order set.

ie in isis the way I do it is:

Land fac
power gen
power gen
mex
mex
mex
mex
then move the comm to the middle to reclaim

My first units from my land fac are

engineers x 4 (two go and build the hydro, and two get mex)
scout x 2
lab x 4
assault bots x lots

Thats when playing cybran.

Remember to hold shift when giving orders to queue them up. I will have assigned the comm all its orders before it has finished building the first factory
 
think my build order goes like:
Mass extractor
2 x power plant
1 x land/air factory (linked up to the mass extractor/power plants)
3 scouts
5 x engineers
Move commander around to build extractors and power plants on/around middle mass points and then build factories around them.
 
I cant beat the hardest ai myself but can beat ai hard. i think the hardest ai just cheats far too much.

Although saying that when im at the stage of buidling experimentals I find I am always in the very negative on mass. Any tips?
 
Upgrade your mex... they are a lot more efficient than mass fabs.

Also surround them (on 4 sides) with mass storage
 
I've just gone back to SC after playing it for a month or so after it came out then dropping it. God I suck so bad :(

Never played the AI personally, but as suggested, I hear sorians AI mod is good.

If anyone ever wants a game of FA on gpgnet or hamachi, give me a shout

added you on msn :).
 
I installed this a few days ago as I got a new rig which could run it as it should be run. Excellent game :)

How do you link up factories to extractors and stuff? Just have them touching?
 
Yup build them next to each other, they'll be a energy line between them. Usually build mass storage near extractors, and power stations near factories.
 
Be careful though if a power station is destroyed (tech 3) it'll wipe out buildings in the area, so a tactical missle strike could destroy half of your base. Best to space your base out not bundle them all together. That means more shield generators and air/ground defenses.

I think Supreme Commander Ai needs to be improved, it has the same problem that a ai attacks the same place again and again. I haven't tried harder AI though, as I find it just cheats before you even have a chance to defend yourself.

Tried sorians AI?
 
I can beat a cheating AI if I have a normal AI on my team as a distraction, then I back it up and go on, sneaky online tactics work good on cheating AI's.
 
Sorian AI is great, especially the jaws one on the right map.

If you want to watch how a pr0 starts then search the vault for unconquerable (spelling ? :D), he is a god at this game and I spent soo long watching his matches that I gave up playing.

Need upgrades to my pc as well, especially the x1900xt.
 
Think Supreme Commander slows down a bit although haven't played it since buying the 8800GT. Previous card was 1900XT and really crawled to a halt.
