As a RTS Sup Com was pretty cool, even if the scale of the maps was a little daunting. On the other hand, during the campaign missions, the maps extended as objectives were reached, which was a good way to avoid being overwhelmed right at the start.
A few other cool features: chaining move or build orders, having worker helping factories, flying unit doing crash damage on death and being able to set repeating build tasks in factories.
- Karunamon 8y agoBelieve it or not, Supreme Commander is a spiritual successor to Total Annihilation - a game which actually had all of these mechanics back in 1997! TA can be had on Good Old Games for $6 and works perfectly on modern Windows or Wine.
- baud147258 8y agoI believe you ;). Chris Taylor evokes TA a few times in the interview. Still I did not called these features innovative or new, just that they are very useful to in order to deal with all the complexities of the game. Still I'm not really interested in TA, I've been plenty happy with SC and I don't really want to climb another steep difficulty curve. (also lack of time too)
- majormajor 8y agoTA used to crash at launch on GOG for Win 10 for me, but I rechecked after this and between updates to the GOG setup and/or Windows, it works now. Thanks!
