So we decided to take over the world...

First off India was a mild irritation

The attacking horse
I'm Blue, Fear is Red, Roman is.. Turquoise?, guess who is orange... yes that's right, 'slinger

The aftermath of the Indian massacre

Roman's Soul Ripper gets frisky with mine and decides to pro-create
Image



Incredibly some of Mr Yellow's horses escaped!!, well just one..
Image Image


And so onwards to our last foe, Mr Black, oh dear he's quite well defended, this might end badly...
Image


Best send a couple of Nukes in. or twelve.
Image


CLICKY FOR MASSIVE ANIMATED MAP!! Try and count the Nukes

All in all an epic battle lasting about 5 hours, utterly utterly awseome.

You killing each other evily or working 5punkily to nail Mr Computer? I'm crap at these sorts of games but might be persuaded if another 5punker held my hand throughout

We all teamed up against 3 computer armies.

To be honest they didn't put up much of a fight, it only took so long because everything kept spazzing out and taking ages to move/build

Yeah we need to ramp up the AI next time, to give us a bit of a scare

Join in Friz, we'll show you how it all works (but I wont hold your hand unless you at least buy me a drink first)

Supcom is one of those rare gaims that would A) take me a week to floor and B) I like enough (and this is really rare mind) of the demo to want to part with cash for.

I've found an updated version of the map you were playing, it has much nicer textures: http://supremecommander.filefront.com/s ... le/76332/1

When you copy the folder over make sure you rename it to SCMP_bal01 or it wont work.

It was fun. I was shit tho, my economy was a load of wank and kept me out of the game in any real capacity.

Last night I played 1v1 against AI on the hardest level and got my arse fed to me, and then a 1v1 on medium and did quite well until he got heavy artillery without me spotting it and managed to take out my reactors which in turn took out half my base.

I think it is the size of the map that neutered the AI more than the difficulty they were set at.

Lets do it again.

Cool, looks like more resource locations as well

Plus this:
I also changed the ai markers quite alot, added many new defencive and naval markers ... The ai aint kidding around on this map anymore

That game was immense fun. So much so in fact that I forgot to eat (asides from Cherry Bakewells and a packet of Spicy Jalapeno and Lemon flavoured crisps, the latter of which upset my delicate stomach).

India - BOOM!

Korea - BOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Only problem was my land units that seemed to take half an hour to move 2 steps. That's the third time now I've built a big monkeyrobotthing and it's done bugger all.

I finished the UEF campaign yesterday, bit dissapointed with the length (Pffft) of only 6 missions.

I started off on easy though with the intention of seeing if I liked the game (I do) and to get to the superweapons faster, although as it turns out I played with them in the multiplayer games first.

Going to try Aeon on medium then Cybran on hard.

The final mission of UEF was really good and even on easy it was fairly tough, I'm glad that through our multiplayerings I learnt how important Nuke defence is!, one still got through though so things were a bit tense for a while.

I suspect I'll get my ass handed to me on higher levels :rectum:

I think I'm gonna buy it actually, aside from the attraction of a French tech tree you get with it (apparently much more widespread than Just Roman getting one :lol:, and you can email them to request an english one) some proper online play is quite appealing, there is a BEEF style ranking system and launching today is a google maps style world map showing where Sup Com games are being played, actually I'm not really sure what the point of the map thing is :?

Edit: Get proper tech tree info

I forgot about that, I was supposed to go back to Gamestation and get one. Any ideas what the email address is? Not that I look at it that much.

I managed to get past the tutorial, finally.

A phone number? But it's 2007!

Fret not - the message is probably heard by an automatic computer listen-o-tron and then promptly dispatched automagically to an address in Scunthorpe, regardless of where you actually live.
