Played the game for a good hour and i have a few Qs:

How come there arnt many units to build? I've developed Everything to Tech level 3 and i'm disapointed.

How do I build them massive spider things like I seen in the gameplay video ages ago, the ones that have massive lazers on the front.

How do i build "experimental bots"?

Also is the AI supposed to be this weak>?

1. : you do have tech 1/2/3 for air land and sea, i dont think its a bad selection of units.

2. They are a cybran experimental unit.

3. experimental units are under the experimental tab under the tech3 tab on your tech 3 construction units

Too many units and it would get extremely confusing..

The Spiderbots and other experimental units need to be built by T3 Engineers or an upgraded ACU\SCU.

As for the AI, download a third party one, they're much better opponents ;)

Urmm what difficulty level have you got it on? To get to Tech Level 3 in an hour of gameplay you must be either (a) a RTS god or (b) be playing on a less challenging level. if (a) then perhaps try to meet your equal online, if (b) then you know what to do.

Edit\ (c) maybe I'm not very good at RTS ;)

You know a good 3rd party, i also find the ai way too weak, the horde ai doesnt for example attack me constantly like description says etc...

I can't remember off the top of my head since I did a clean install, check the main SupCom thread, think it may have dropped down a few pages in this section. If you do a search within the thread you should be able to find some useful links\AIs.

Know what you mean, all of them are too easy, spreme, horde, tech, even if you fight 4 or 5 of them you can win easily. I'm gona try those third party ones in the summer.

Bwahahaha :D

You realise its quite easy to have T3 siege assault bots in 15 minutes, a decent player can do it in under 10 minutes. Its possible to have a nuke built and a missile launched within 20 minutes (iirc) if you rush build it.

To be honest, thats like starting with 10k\10k resources in TA and saying you could build a fusion reactor in 10-12mins. Sure you could, if you did almost nothing else...
 
Well I must be carp then, it took me well over an hour to play through the first few missions and I still hadn't unlocked Level3. Oh well I bow to my superiors and aspire to their greatness :)
 
Over an hour to play 1st few missions?
Ive played for hours, at least 10, and still @ tech 2 missions on the cybran and UEF campaign's I do, hard difficulty though I'm playing at, and I play laid back, ie. takign my time.

In skirmish i get to tech3 very soon tho, as i renember the 1st game where i got nuked quite early due to not making anti nuke defences and tech-ing fast enough...

Took me a few games tho to actually find out about tech lvls lol, my 3rd or 2nd skirmish I still didn't know about tech lvl's, and just made masses of lvl 1 buildings, ive had like 300 tech 1 power gens and 100 tech 1 fabricators...
 
i dont see what all the fuss is over rushing to win?! :confused:

I play the game to take my time and enjoy it.

There are some cool mods out for it too, the ones i'm using so far are stronger tech2 and 3 shields, siege shields (tech4 shield) long range tactical missile and defence and 2 x resource

good mods if you enjoy taking your time building a massive base
 
Thing is the way the game is balanced at the moment its a rush to get T3 siege assault bots on almost all maps.
Getting SABs after 15-20 minutes whilst under a constant attack is perfectly possible.

thanks guys. Why doesnt the AI attack me hardly at all, they just build loads of units and do sod all?

Also depiste having nuke protection x2, how did a nuke get through and blow me up?

Did you have enough anti-nuke missiles? It only protects a certain area aswell but that area is quite large so unless you had some base outside that area its probabyl unlikely to be that.
 
Yes, the standard AI is weak. Download a third-party one. I cant remember the name of the one I've got.. Sorian, or something. Its better :) Still not unbeatable, but then thats a good thing ;)
