Supreme Commander Talk

A brief look at the GPGnet forums yields a wide variety of inevitable claims of ways in which Supreme Commander 2 is imbalanced. Here’s a look at these claims, and a brief analysis of each one. Of course, I’d like to hear your opinions as well in the comments below — especially if [...]

Let’s be honest, Supreme Commander had severe balance problems with mass fabricators. They were simply too good, and rapidly obviated the need for map control. They replaced strategic fights for mass points with ugly, exponentially growing resource farms.
Forged Alliance rectified the issue somewhat by nerfing mass fabricators (and removing the T1 mass fabricator [...]
