Supreme Commander Talk

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 [...]

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.

Gamespot has the scoop on the upcoming Supreme Commander Forged Alliance details that were revealed at this year’s E3. Besides confirming a number of things we’ve previously reported on this site, quite a few interesting new tidbits have been released.
First off, it is confirmed that there will be a total of 110 new units, [...]

The trailer for the Supreme Commander stand-alone expansion Forged Alliance has been released (direct link). Also, new screenshots have been released. Let’s try to figure out what these new units are in the images. We’ll start off with these two and then continue in subsequent posts. Let’s just say the air [...]

There’s a new utility in town. It’s called the Supreme Commander Old Replays Player (SORP). And surprisingly enough, it does exactly what it says it does: it lets you play old replays. No longer will old replays sit around on your hard drive, rotting away like so much rancid digital refuse tossed [...]
