Does anyone still play this gem of a game?

Favourite race?

Any decent strategies out there? I'm trying to handle the Seraphim just now, got bored of the UEF. :D
 
Favourite race - Cybran
Favourite strat - Large bomber fleet to take out radar. Then walk in a load of SCUs with the two stealth upgrages which make them invisible to vision and radar. This means they can't be shot unless within omni range, which is why you kill their T3 radar :D
 
Still play it daily with Alx AI via Sorians Mod. Fav race is also Cybran.

Favourite tactic is to max out my mexes, plonk engineering stations at the front line, which consists of turrets and microwave towers, and then build a shedload of megaliths or spiderbots near the towers.

Assign a lot of T3 Sup Fighters to the megaliths so that they provide close air support and then walk them into the enemy base. This doesn't always work though :p

I like to reinstall and run occasionally :D

Aeon Illuminate probably.. Although Cybrans are pretty sweet since they brought in nanolath towers :D

Mass nuke + mass experimentals? :cool: Can get a pretty decent Aeon deathball running with the walkers and air-dominance fighters in the UFO-style carrier. Then 8-9 nuke silos for the graphical lulz.


(You mightve guessed I dont really play this game online :D)
 
Yep - played it when it originally came out, but peoples computers at the time were a bit lacking.

Recently re bought it on steam along with a bunch of friends - works a treat with no gpgnet and everyone with quad core as standard :D
 
Ooooh no gpgnet for steam? Can i run my original copy for net games on steam?
Also, try the Total Veterancy mod - allows all units to increase stats based on increased veterany status - look after your T1 tank and it soon becomes a WMD killing machine by veterany level 50!!!!
There is a mod that increase the number of upgrades for the Commander and his Support Commanders, this allows you to play the game with more rpg elements - spec your commander as a lethal boss or a super fast building support unit?
 
Sure. I usually play Cybran or UEF. By the way the Seraphim regen field (ACU\SCU upgrade) is bugged, so you can exploit that when attacking.

No, you would need to rebuy it. Also, since it doesn't use GPGnet, you can only play against people who have the steam version, you can't play against gpgnet players. You can't direct connect either as the steam version is different. There's also no access to the GPG Vault for downloading mods/maps.
 
Its all about Seraphim :D
Love the upgraded commander, siege tanks and experimentals!

Teleport SCUs in, spam build the land experimentals behind enemy lines then teleport away from enemy base for Max lulz
