Spring RTS Engine

I've bought it and, to everyone who says otherwise, I say BAH! Humbug! It's fun. Yeah it runs like crap. Yeah it takes hours to finish the really long missions. And yeah, the voice acting is cheesy. But I still find it really really really really fun to play. I have just beaten the Aeon campaign, so now I'm going to tackle the UEF campaign. But I have a funny story about the last mission in the Aeon campaign....

I had defeated the UEF and the Cybrans and all that was left was the Eeeeevil Aeon and they had this huge battle fleet that I was completely unprepared for. So they were sitting off sore to my base and blowing up all my dudes. They had blow up three of my four Ultra uber long range massive huge guns of Death (or UULRMHGOD, which sounds a bit like what people say when they are fired at by them) and the last one fired a single shot before the enemy destroyed them too. I watched the shell fly the sky.

it flew

and flew

and flew

and flew

and slammed into the head of the enemy commander. He exploded and I won the mission!

WOOOOO!

:')

Aeon super gun? Do you mean the T3 arty building or some campaign specific thing? IIRC the Aeon don't have a super artillery experimental.

The teir three gun. The "Envoy" one. It was so long range that when I zoomed out, I thought its range was only slightly longer than a level 2 arty. Then I realized that that circle was the MINIMUM range and the maximum range was farther than the edge of the MASSIVE map.

I said, "Whoa."

But they make up for the lack of super gun with their floating zappy UFO thing. WHOOO BZAP! Kablamo!

I love this game :D

I might of loved this game if I wasn't playing it at 1 FPS

Also, units have some major balancing problems that make even first one or two missions last hours unnecessarily. Haven't tried online yet, but it's likely my PC would lag games to death.

Oh, I know that thing. My "LRPC" was what killed the enemy commander and thus gave me a win in my first online game. I was kinda annoyed, the match was over a few seconds before my nuke hit his base...

relative try to run it with /nosound maybe it will give you decent fps :)

wierd, I had one single t3 cannon, and I ready my collosus and czar fortress outside the blacksun control centre to go on the rampage and order my navy in, then bang, the campaign finishes and the enemy commander goes boom.

Otherwise I like supcom, and there are many innovations in supcom I find would work great in spring but people say "oh noes it was in supcom we cant have it or god will strike us down" or because its in supcom they totally ingore it and dont give it a chance.

I wish spring had supcoms waypoint system.

so you can't spam t1 anymore and beat everything?

I beat one of the aeon levels by just spamming lvl 1 hover tanks, and had a continuous stream of tanks headed tot he enemy numbering between 150-250 at any one time.

I'll drink to that. The waypoint system is one of the best things with supcom. Coordinated attack ftw.

Can anyone explain SupCom's waypoint system to me? I've played the game a bit but I'm not sure what's different to Spring here.

You can kind of do co-ordinated attacks in Spring with the Wait command.

There are even special wait for event commands (e.g. "move here, wait until 25 units have done the same, attack there") but I think you have to bind them to keys first.

supcom is pretty good game but not as good as spring aa mod :D

AA.. so you like WEZELSPAEM huh

The only thing I want for SupCom is...a new computer :D

Oh and a nuke that dosn't take five minut to get wheres it's going. You have to aim well infront of any army your attacking, even really slow ones. But if you can pull it off, it's exceedingly amusing.

I feel like torrenting it, i just want that SP.

supreme commander is an excelent game

theres so much to take into account and i regulaly forget to build naval or air and get sea pwnt or air pwnt or ground pwn or all 3 at the same time

Runs fine on my pc except for the firsy cybran mission which has over 8000 corpses already on the map (ghey)

I know, the first Cybran mission really worried me, cause I thought the rest of the campaing would run as bad as that...then the second one ran really well and I was like WTF?
