Naval strategies on Roanoke Abyss

Saturday, July 14th, 2007

In an attempt to add a little variety to the replay reviews we have done here on SupCom Talk, today I’ll be looking at a 1v1 match on Roanoke Abyss. Many of you have been clamoring for more replay reviews recently, and so we are trying to deliver. Also keep in mind that [...]

Old replays no longer worthless

Thursday, July 5th, 2007

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 [...]

Woohoo, I beat Supreme Art of Defense!

Sunday, June 17th, 2007

The custom map Art of Defense is all the rage these days on GPGnet (sorry Zone Control). It is widely liked for how difficult it is. You can be a really good player and still need multiple tries to figure it out (like I saw when playing with Unconquerable), because it’s quite different [...]

High ranking game on Open Palms

Tuesday, June 12th, 2007

I have just finished watching an excellent replay (v3254) involving #3 ranked TheLittleOne versus #24 TAG_ROCK_. LittleOne chose Aeon and Rock played as Cybran, with the match occurring on Open Palms.
The match proves interesting even in the first few minutes, with both players choosing non-standard early build orders. On Open Palms, all 4 starting [...]

UEF bomber scare on Theta Passage

Thursday, May 17th, 2007

Woo! I barely came through on this one. For those of you not wanting to see a match similar to the last one, I can tell you that this is most certainly shorter but is also of a much higher caliber (skill wise). Though I lacked adaptation I still managed to pull [...]

SupComming it up with Chris Taylor

Saturday, April 7th, 2007

I just had the pleasure of playing two 2v2 ladder ranked games with Chris Taylor, designer of such games as Total Annihilation, Dungeon Siege, and of course Supreme Commander, as my partner. We won the first game and lost the second game, both of which were on Open Palms. It’s been a loooong [...]

How to defeat a turtle

Sunday, March 18th, 2007

I just defeated a turtled-in opponent in ranked play. He played rather defensively and found himself encircled. But he built lots of defenses and forced me to come get him. Meanwhile, he had tech 2 artillery shooting out at my forces, forcing me to put up a lot of shields to protect [...]

Unconquerable v FunkOff match replays

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

Yesterday I interviewed Unconquerable and FunkOff prior to a set of exhibition matches. They played three games, with Unconquerable winning two and drawing one (thus living up to his pseudonym). Without further ado, here are the replays and some analysis:
Match 1: Unconquerable (Cybran) v FunkOff (UEF) on Finn’s Revenge
The game starts off pretty [...]
