I was wondering cause my OVER completive friends say that the Seraphim the most awesome team ever suck and that nobody plays them so I was wondering who plays Seraphim or what team do you play. Can the Seraphim players also give me a tip strategy wise, Cause I kinda go all out with the Experiment Bombers and any thing that goes BOOM!

Cybran, cause they are red and thus are better.

^also my logic

Cybrans, because I like adaptability and navies which also function as land armies.

I play Seraphim, mainly for Nuke your Opponent to hell and back. With a battleships, normal nuke launcher, Experimental bomber (which makes nuke sized BOOMs) and Experimental NUCLEAR LAUNCHER which dwarfs all over nuclear weapons on SupCom.
But they also have tec3 mobile Sheilds along with Tec3 seige tanks that have their own sheilds, its a nice combo!

Neither, because I still play TA.

Hell yeah, Salem Class.

@OP, we are talking about SupCom 1/Forged Alliance right? Because SupCom 2 is complete trash.

Exalted. Dear God SupCom 2 was a disappointment.


Back on topic: UEF. Simply because the MAVOR is the most awesome red herring in a video game ever. Oh, and Fatboys are kinda nice. I also tend to play a bit more defensively when I play strategy games, and as such the UEF suits me perfectly. Aeon gets an honourable mention because you can just fly a Czar above someone's base and giggle.

It is just me, or does the czar wreck look like the wreck of the alien battleship from ID4?

The Czar has a very strong Independence Day vibe.

SupCom2 was disappointing, but I wouldn't say it was bad. If it wasn't given the SupCom label I'd say it's a well-above-average RTS (using starcrapped as the average).

I have SupCom FA and SupCom 2 and I love them both, BUT SupCom 2 is useless for LANing and over all its just not SupCom.

Aeon for me, although i've no idea why i've swayed that far, seeing as though not much of what they have appeals to me.

Cybrans also get a mention because of the RF Artillery Experimental.

I'm also a huge fan of the first FA campaign mission if Cybran. Playing it on Easy (not for the ease of killing so much as it's stupidly easy to build up without so much as a scratch, and then win the mission using silly tactics), shifting to the mainland, and spamming Tech 3 Engies and Sub-Commanders + your Commander with all the build trimmings whilst building truckloads of the Rapid-Fire Artillery experimental.

Defend them with some mobile AA until you can get SAMs in place around them and place a few shield generators around them. When you want to move on, bring in the mobile AA, shift to another spot, reclaim everything and rebuild it.

It takes time, but shelling the crap out of everything on the map and clearing it chunk-by-chunk is awesome.

I also got bored of sseeing how many Shimmers I could send into the enemy base to nuke their commander, so I spammed the gunship experimental and just threw them at it for the hell of it.

There are so many enemies that you can have fun killing, but they're not as clever or powerful enough on Easy to stop your fun by nuking your base.

Just imagining the enemy commander when he sees X amount of the same experimental coming for him... Might do Monkeylord spam next...

Well, SupCom2 arrived yesterday, so I scanned the manual for the units and got to Aeon... What in hell did they do!? UEF and Cybrans have all the hardcore names like Titan (glad they kept at least one thing), Metero, Anarchist, and Cobra, Executioner and the famous Salem... Illuminate got Yenzoo, Fistoosh, Crashdow, Bodaboom, Vulthoo, HeeHola, Weedooboth (that isn't even partially imaginative!) and they don't even get a Navy (my favourite part of Aeon); half of the Illuminate experimentals also have laughable names too.

They took one of the races, cut bits out and made them comic relief... Dear God, i'm glad this game only cost by £5, because i'm probably just going to stick to SupCom1 + Forged Alliance.

I found SupCom 2 fun but ya the First + forge are much better
