Supreme Commander Talk

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

I was assassinated in a really unpleasant way today while playing an online ranked game. It was going okay. We both controlled about half of the map with strong defenses and were teching up for a big push. It could’ve gone either way. But at some point I had sent my [...]

Please direct your attention to a new page I’ve put up, “Write For Us“. Yes, that’s right, we are looking for people to write some guest spots for this blog! We can write enough on our own, but when it comes to Supreme Commander, enough is never enough: the more the better. [...]

In continuation of my previous post, Supreme Commander tricks part I, here are some additional tricks and nuances to the game that you may not be familiar with.
