Supreme Commander Talk

Big news for 1v1 ranked players!  TheCoreCommander has announced on the official forums that the 1v1 ranked map lineup will be changing, four maps will be swapped out for new ones.
The great news is that both Liberium Battles and Thawing Glacier will be removed, to be replaced by Theta Passage and Canis River.  Thank goodness!  Though [...]

Well, lo and behold a new patch (3596) has been released and it appears the Devs agreed with those who say the Riptides are overpowered.  Their cost has been increased 20%.  This is a pretty serious blow to the unit, it now compares much less favorably to the Pillar and Mongoose and is no longer very [...]

Well, to all three of you who still visit this site, there is finally a new writer!  Here I go by my SupCom handle, Engineer.  In so-called “real life” my name is Ryan, and I actually am an Electrical Engineer, which is every bit as awesome as it sounds (i.e. yeah… not so much).
My real [...]

The money tournament that starts tomorrow is my goodbye to retail supreme commander. I think almost all good players will move on to Forged Alliance like i do. It will be fun and maybe i play retail in lan tournaments such as i32 and a custom or two. But i won´t play it ranked for [...]

The unlikely team has formed and Forged an Alliance. “We” are Sir_Loui and TheCoreCommander. Hopefully we can write some nice articles in the future, with one coming very soon. We will take a deeper look into the forthcoming expansion and as we both have tested it in a closed beta we will be able to [...]

The v3260 patch for Supreme Commander came out yesterday. This was the patch that was announced over a month and a half ago with the promise of “You asked for them. They’re coming.” As was correctly speculated, “they” turned out to be new units; specifically, T2 fighter/bombers for UEF and Cybran and [...]

This is just a reminder that the previously announced tournament, with a total prize purse of $5,000, takes place this weekend. Register now through GPGnet before it’s too late. Grokmoo and I will be too busy hunting for a place to live to partake (unfortunately!), but we wish our readers the very best [...]

After a much too long downtime, the Supreme Commander web stats have finally returned. They were broken at some point (hardware failure or something?) and took an awfully long time to return. To view the web stats for a player, visit that link and type the player’s account name into the search box [...]

It now seems almost certain that the new feature that GPG has been so tight-lipped about is going to be a downloadable unit pack. There has been quite a bit of speculation in this forum thread about what these new units might be. Forum-goers have suggested possibilities that seem quite unlikely such as [...]

This isn’t as interesting as it might be if high quality AI mods like Sorian’s AI didn’t exist, but it seems likely that the default AI will be receiving a substantial overhaul when Forged Alliance hits shelves. There is an E3 report over at shacknews which talks about this and other things related to [...]
