Supreme Commander AI any good ?

/me wonders what turtling is?????:rolleyes:

Afaik it's just taking your time to build your base and not leaving it much, staying inside your base until the late levels then start attacking but until then you just protect your base and expand it... The opposite of rushing

Me and my friend regularly played Sup Com, often having two supreme AIs and a hard (for good measure) and together we'd obliterate them.

We got Forged Alliance, however, and it's suddenly impossible. :/
 
Was thinking about digging this out for a bit of a run.

The only problem I remember about it though is that it started to run mega slow, even on a high spec PC. Do I remember that correctly?
 
If u mean empire earth ? i don't rember it slowing down to much on my old p4 when i played it :D
No I mean SupCom, with 1000+ units shooting the **** out of each other, it was unplayable.

Plus, it never really grabbed me that much, I never managed to get into multiplayer where the real fun usually is in rts games.

Ah i see well i only got a 2180 oc to 2.6 and so far its not badi will try the core maximizer tool later see if it helps.

Not sure how to turn off them ranged rings things around the units i heard they slow the game a bit
 
there was a patch that really improved game performance. Get the game make sure its all patched up and it will fly compared to the straight out of the box version.
 
Hardest is impossible for me because of how much it cheats with resources plus the ungodly micro that an AI can do.

Due to the amount of units you have in Supreme commander, you can't hope to micromanage better than the comp which leaves you behind in base building etc in the long run :(

But you can scout your enemy and counter them quite easily :)
 
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
 
I only played a few games with ai mods on easy but i have to say this probs the best RTS i have played for bloody ages :D :D :D

Love the base shields lol i am easy to please lol
 
That's the one thing I hated in C&C, no shields so every attack destroyed multiple defenses, 80% of the time you're repairing or rebuilding defenses and checking your buildings. In Supreme Commander you can build structures in safety under protection of shield generators. AI needs to be tweaked a little to get around that, maybe they it should build defensive & offensive outposts to knock your shields/defenses prior to a land sea and air attack?
