Supreme Commander Talk

As some of you may remember, the commander death nuke used to do the full 70,000 nuclear explosion damage in beta and early retail versions. It was quickly reduced to a mere 4,000 damage (while keeping the now-ridiculously large explosion intact) to balance the game. The old 70,000 damage made it much too [...]

I’ve been watching many replays recently on Winters Duel where air superiority has proved to be absolutely key. I’ll take a look at two case studies (both happening to involve Unconquerable as a participant) and offer up some arguments to support my assertion that air superiority is more important on Winters Duel than nearly [...]
