Supreme Commander Gold Edition
Supreme Commander Gold Edition Review
Both SP and Forged Alliance are enormously fun because of the vast number of options you can use to smash your opponent(s).
Feel like being a ground-and-pound player? No problem…build a couple of land factories and pump out lots of little units. Feel like building a powerful air? Ditto. Artillery duels? Yep. Want to mostly concentrate on early rushes? Well, that’s probably something you’ll have to be at least a little good at…but otherwise there’s options galore.
Basically, if you can think up a strategy, there’s a tactic and types of units to support your idea. Although the attritional model still holds (build more and bigger units than your opponent), some clever or unusual gameplay does occasionally win games.
Now the drawbacks.
–There isn’t a computer yet built than can run this game…and buying the most powerful GPU isn’t going to help all that much over a mid-level GPU. Expect a 8800/9800 GT for decent graphics on a large screen (and you want a large screen because the units are tiny). You’ll want a quad core as this game can max out two cpus (the 3rd and 4th cpu is still utilized though not maxed out). For fun click on the “ranges” button and watch your mighty quad-core be brought to its knees.
–Tiny unit icons when zoomed out. Get a huge monitor…24 inches or bigger.
–A slightly awkward interface that requires pressing two keys at the same time (ctrl-a, alt-.,ctrl-l). It’s something you can get around with practice but the real solution is the game should come with a key-mapping menu.
To be fair most of the drawbacks will be mitigated as computer technology gets better and cheaper. Sure, you can play this on a lower-end computer but it won’t be fun.
Supreme Commander CPU and GPU benchmarks.
