Indeed, the expansion is almost guaranteed to have new experimental units in it. Really, if they left those out, everyone would be totally up in arms.

It’s a shame, too, because more units in lower tech levels would make a lot more of a difference in real matches. I’d much rather see a new tech 3 unit than a new experimental unit, even though the former is less flashy.

My guess is we’ll see some of the units in an expansion, and possibly some as part of the unit releases. I almost would rather be surprised when I think about it… :D

Actual infinity is probably impossible, but you should look out for computers speeding up quite a bit faster than moore’s law implies over the next two decades. It wasn’t an idle question. ;)

I would like to hear about them, too. While we probably wouldn’t hear in full, indepth detail, some would be nice.

Unless they’re going to be in the expansion, in which case, I can stand not knowing for a while. :)

In particular I was hoping to hear what some of those other experimental units were. Maybe I should try submitting a supplemental interview question …

Nice interview. In particular there used to be other experimental units.

Have to say the guy is a genius, first TA now SupCom. Both games have been massive leaps forward for the genre, it’s just unfortunate that it will be a niche game compared to CnC3 (same thing with music charts I suppose…).

Still very nice to see that the good Mr. Taylor is taking the time to talk to the community like this :)

hey thanks for including my question ;-) I would have rather choosen the “is opensourcing supcom possible?” one but Chris, if you read me, you can reply in the comments ;-)

great interview anyway, thanks so much to chris & CW!

keep making such games ;-)
