The *Official* Supreme Commander Thread

i havnt ventured past easy yet (hey i'm a n00b lol) but once the 3 campaigns are completed in easy im going to do them in hard which will probably prepare me for multiplayer a little more perhaps.

to be fair though its a RTS designed to be played multiplayer for epic battles. AI is only ever going to be a challenge until you learn its weakness. Real people always learn new tactics and adapt.
 
Eventually i will probably venture online. I'm looking forward to the modding community though. If someone releases a good AI like the old TA BONZAI's then a player would be the least of your worries as they were so sickenly hard in TA they made good players look like noobs and the pro's look like masters, especially if you could take em on all allied against you. I was one of the boys though :p

Fighting 9 Bonzai AI's on a map in TA is verging on suicidal if you had them all team up against you. You had to build a couple of dozen anti nukes, just to hold off the wall of nukes they sent you. That kind of AI would fit in SC perfectly with the endless wall of units etc..

I'm still going through the campaign atm. I'm playing through it on hard and it isn't easy when your dont have the most offensive attitude. I'm used to being a porcupine in RTS games but i think that SC might change that over time :)
 
Oh yeah I remember the Bonzai AI, the brutal killer. Had it beat in the end though, the really annoying thing about the AI in TA was his use of rocket trucks just used to sit outside your base with no radar and whail on you, with no radar :( the cheating swine

That was my only real problem with TA. The fact that radar/sonar jammers did not affect AI's.

Has that been fixed do you know?

I'm loving the ability to set factorys to repeat orders, and set their build location to a ferry point, so you have multiple factories churning out units non stop which are continously transported by multiple tier 2 carriers across the map to the front. :D

I love that too, only gets annoying when an enemy air patrol discovers your ferry route and takes out all your transports :( But i normally have a squad of interceptors patrolling the route with a squad as backup parked in my base to take out any air threats. I also have at least 3-4 spare transports that i can immediately set to assist a factory if one gets taken down. 1 Tech 2 transporter is good enough to transport troops from a single land factory up to about 20km without creating a backlog. Unless you make assault bots or land scouts etc. that build super quick.
 
Has anyone else mounted the microwave laser and liquid nitrogen cooling system on there commander (playing as the Cybran) and used it to take out an entire base?

Did this on the second and third Cybran mission soooo much fun :D

If I absolutely own the Hard AI, how am I going to survive in MP? Too afraid to go and see :D What would you think?

I can beat the Hard AI on the few maps I have tried, but I think the skirmish AI is a little poor on some maps.

Skirmish AI on easy and medium doesn't build ANY air factories... now that's disgraceful!

I noticed that too. All that mass and energy i put into AA towers and i could have pumped it into tanks and won even quicker hehe. Their AA defenses were pretty poor as well imo. I took out 3 Challenge AI's with a single Soul Reaper without repairing it. OK, so my first target was each commander and did it so it outran the blast which is entertaining as it took out most of their defenses.
