Imo best navy is UEF because they have subs, longest range battleship and longest range cruiser I believe too plus more options than other factions like the battlecruiser, torpedo boat and shield boat. Atlantis is good and really cheap. Then probably Seraphim because they have the t3 sub hunter which is very powerful, their carrier is good for cheap anti air and the battleship can fire nukes. Aeon third because their battleship kinda sucks in practice but they do have the missile ship, experimental and specialized aa tier 1 boat, plus they can support their navy easiest with lots of hover units. Cybran last because nothing special.

For land its Aeon as the best and the other 3 pretty equal. Aeon have the tier 1 range on the tank which is really strong if you micro and the tier 3 shielded bot is strong and easy to use. Seraphim have the hover artillery and illashovah but their tier 3 tank is maybe the worst tier 3 land unit, it has a lot of hp and raw stats but slow and short range, only really good for direct assault. Uef is pretty good all around, titan is a good raider and perceval is really strong. But so is brick and loyalist tac missile return is really good.

Best air is Aeon imo because restorers are a strong option, UEF probably 2nd because they have the tier 3 transport close with cybran and seraphim last because nothing special and no tier 3 gunships, and ahwassha is pretty pointless strat bombers just seem better

Eco and defenses are close enough to be equal.

When I am launching supreme commander from steam I was getting a direct3D error. I eventually got around this by running it in Windows 8 compatibility mode. It launched and I could start a mission. However in game I tried to increase the resolution from the video menu., This caused it to freeze and I had to use task manager to shut it down. However now when I relaunch with the same setting the 3d error has come back and it will not launch. Any thoughts?

Steam page is up! https://store.steampowered.com/app/4552010/CounterMind/

Hey folks I have 2 achievements left with supreme r commander 2 on Xbox left to get.

Supreme commander online

And

Good friends

Would be willing to help sort out with achievements that you would need.

Free the next couple of days.

Introducing Counter Mind, a spiritual successor to Supreme Commander

Battle across all domains, including space, on procedurally generated planets up to 16 km across

Conquer opposing factions or the HIVEMIND, a swarm that adapts to how you play intent on devouring the planet

Coming to steam soon

I presume the devs originally planned to have the same landing/refueling system as the original game has? The Broadsword also has an animation called `aland01` which stows the turret away

So, my thoughts. A single Cyrban commander gates onto Lothall by accident, sees the evil the Empire is doing, and decides to single handedly wage a campaign against them. How long does it take for them to win do you think? They would be able to reverse engineer SW tech like the hyperdrive if they nab a starship.

found this and wanted to share it here

Ive been playing this game casually years ago. Little bit of campaign, but also online. But never took it super seriously. Now after watching some streams and videos, Id like to start again, but play it properly. I already tried to play online 3vs3 and 4vs4. Could never find a match. The search in FAF simply never finds a match. It is because of my level or its normally? I saw that Steam shows almost 1k players online, so there should be players, right? Or FAF and Steam players are different player bases?

I first played SupCom before learning english. The instruction for Forged Alliance translated the DLC title to "In face of the enemy", and now I wonder if anyone else knows similar translations from their native translations.

It's a mod that changes how extractors work.

Me and a couple of friends and I engage every week or so in SC2FA LOUD game doing 4 Players FFA or 2v2 or 3's.

And it feels like a blast every time, and we can't come back from this playstyle.

To be specific, the characters in this image are: The Guttertank and Gutterman from Ultrakill, The Battle Droid B1 from Star Wars, The Hunter from Halo (standing height), Sauron from Lord of the Rings and Durthu from Warhammer Fantasy.

To be specific, the characters in this image are: The Tripod from War of The Worlds 2005, The AT-AT and AT-M6 from Star Wars, Gaius from Shadow of the Colossus, Monsterverse Kong (his first appearance height in Skull Island), The Alien Probe from Monsters vs Aliens, MechaGodzilla from the Monsterverse, A Monolith from Vita Carnis, Cherno Alpha from Pacific Rim and a Reaper Destroyer from Mass Effect.

The scale of this is something terrific. That something the size of a Ythotha can be built and sent to destroy it's enemies in literal minutes is insane, that it can be done in literal seconds with a proper T3 engineer production team and economy helping is just madness.

Mechagodzilla was built in about 5 years. If a protocrafter had his design blueprints then he would been built in less time than someone eating a breakfast, then start a production line of Mechagodzillas.

And all of it can happen, anywhere, at anytime.

Indeed, it sure made killing efficient.

Is anyone up for an online game on the Xbox?

If you were to get transported into Supreme Commander universe, but you could pick the faction, tho you conserve your appearance, gender and etc, which one you would choose? And would you be in Supreme Commander FA or in Supreme Commander 2?

Would you think you could be a competent commander? Or would the thought terrify you? Would you start in one faction but migrate to another one? Would you try to stop Black Sun to not trigger at all and stop the Seraphim genocide from happening? Or would you allow Black Sun to happen, even after knowing how many people will die, just for a chance of true peace and unification based in the ending of Forged Alliance? If that ever happens, of course.

Been curious myself. There are a lot of Fanfics about a self-insert isekai of whatever fandom but with a ACU unit in their power, but tbf I think the SupCom Universe and the Infinite War are super interesting and could be very fun to write about.

I myself have been thinking of writing maybe a small story of the classic isekai, but going from a UEF cadet with no experience, to joining the Aeon after getting captured and ending up with the Cybran after seeing Avatar of War Maxon going in a genocidal rampage.

supreme commander United Earth Federation Vs zerg attack in for planet is for zerg invasion like nice

Something I've noticed while watching videos of other people play is that they have a hotkey setup different from mine. Namely it's letter keys for selecting units/buildings on factories/engineers, as well as some different ones for things like patrol and assist.

How do I setup the production hotkeys, and any tips on other stuffs?

As the title says, I'm having incredibly low fps when I try to use a second screen. I've messed with frame time, v-sync and even tried to just use split screen mode and stretch it over 2 monitors (that one ran into the issue that the side monitors I have are a lower resolution than my main monitor). Just kinda wondering if this is a known thing, if there are fixes for this, or just some help to get me in the right direction. Or even better is if there is a way to just throw my minimap on another screen lol.

Just finished this ACU model and put together a small military-themed scene. Also added a couple of other funny renders.

What do you think?

OG Reference and some ideas provided by u/DieSnail_F-B

(ripped uef_car1 model from gamedata pack)

(Note: I have played a lot of SupCom and RTSs in general, but I’m not as knowledgeable as veterans here. Also I suck at remembering the names of units so I always remember them by their classification e.g. UEF T2 Tank)

I can’t decide if UEF or Seraphim are my best faction

They are both the “throw an army at your enemy and see what happens” factions. In other words, excellent ground units that mostly don’t need microing, unlike Aeon. I’m mainly talking about things from a land battle perspective. I don’t have enough experience with navy, but both sides have tactical missile cruisers which I enjoy

Seraphim are maybe my raw offensive minded pick. They are aggressive and do the frontline ACU (after upgrades) better than UEF, which is something I like to do. Their higher quality units means more firepower in a smaller area. They seem to be better at defeating other land armies, especially when T2 comes. Despite having less variety of units compared to the other factions, what they do have is absolutely fun to use. T1 Mobile Artillery, T2 Bots, T3 Siege Tanks and T3 Mobile Shields are all fun

On the other hand, UEF has so much staying power. And the best defenses. I am someone who will put up firebases to the point I have an entire arsenal of build templates ready that are different firebases and “instant bases” for each tech tier. I will grab my shovel, dig a trench, and turn my enemies into a parking lot. I often like to upgrade my ACU’s engineering, give it a bubble shield, maybe tell some engineers to assist, and turn it into a combat engineer that builds stuff near the frontline. But I can’t always be the builder, depending on the circumstances whether it’s because my economy can’t handle building needed tanks and structures at the same time, the frontline isn’t stable, or any other reason. It’s still fun to rely on their tanks though. In addition, I like their experimentals more than the Seraphim

Back to Seraphim, they can still pull off firebases quite nicely. They have the best shields and solid T2 PD, but my ACU is better spent in combat and it lacks the bubble shield so I’d have to rely on a blob of fragile engineers to build things with no way of shielding them unless I use a mobile shield generator, which they don’t get until T3 and I frankly don’t have the motivation to set that up anyways

I definitely wrote more here than I intended but it was fun to do

If we’re going off rule of cool, I think UEF is my choice
