Supreme Commander Forged Alliance, PC Review

Supreme Commander was a great game, but there were also complaints from players. Thus the system is often a recurring theme, as the highly effective Mass Fabricators. Gas Powered Games announced soon extend and seven months after the release of SupCom was Forged Alliance (FA) in stores. What is new after less than a year of development time?


I know you from somewhere?

A new campaign and faction to mention something. At the end of the three final operations SupCom, the Black Sun, the secret project of the UEF, fired. But as the short teaser films already shown, it means ending the Infinite War not the beginning of a peaceful era. The entry into force of the secret monster inadvertently leads to an entrance to the quantum space (quantum is the new Phlebotinum ), where a huge alien invasion force flies. These aliens are the Seraphim, the same creatures over a thousand years ago on the planet Seraphim II were exterminated. Now they are back and very cranky because of the loss of their colony. I think. Their motive is not really explained, though we as humans have done something really terrible (romantic comedies) to remove the creatures that totally pacifist 'Way' invented. Anger on the neck Anyway, a lot of time to think about it you do not have when you are told in the first operation to defend. The home planet of the newly formed Coalition This is not a quiet at the hand on the mission, such that it could be the case. Into SupCom This time you have from the start your full arsenal available and necessary, because the Seraphim and parts of the Aeon Illuminate abide not. The new units that each faction have been still a bit of a introduced, though I can this time because of the existing options have much better to live here. Because you will be thrown into the deep from the start, the game is less welcoming to newcomers than SupCom, but this is an odd place to start. The story In Forged Alliance six operations to play with all the human factions. Sit These missions are a lot more intense, and I think that's an improvement compared to Supreme Commander. And yes, there is another teaser movie. Supreme Matured As noted earlier, there are, in addition to a new faction, new units for the existing factions to come. Thus, the UEF a vehicle that had several fires missiles in succession and a heavy attack robot that seems to have been made ​​to demolish. Experimentals The Aeon will include a heavy torpedo bomber and a building at any location can make everything visible. For example, the Cybrans have a crawling bomb and a dangerous amphibious ... brick. At sea there are also found more ships, and each faction has also received a further Experimental there, including satellite weapon for the UEF. Some of these units are still not feeling well balanced, the exploding Cybran Fire Beetle is simply not used and the Aeon Restorer too much. But generally fill the new robots existing weapons well and there is a greater variation between the factions. Besides the additions virtually all existing units have gone on somehow the shovel. Everything moves faster and faster missiles hit their target. Most notable change is that Mass Extractors produce more mass, while Mass Fabricators much more energy. All these changes will ensure that you can continue to build, no longer at ease in your impenetrable base FabFarms called out but there needs to conquer. Mass. Deposits As a result, it does not seem like you're sometimes a futuristic form of playing SimCity. All in all, there is a lot in the gameplay changed and I believe that the result works very well. The steering is also doctored. The layout has changed and now you can make so-called 'templates'. This can best be compared with the copy and paste into Word or Windows Explorer. You make a collection of buildings and stores it in a template so you have a large group of structures with one click, you can drop quickly. It is convenient that these templates can be stored. Again used in these jars Slightly less amazing is the 'unit overlay. When this is selected, you can reach their troops, radar, and what have you seen in the form of rings. Particularly useful, but unfortunately my video card screams bloody murder if this option is enabled. Fortunately, you can adjust the overlay so that it displays less information.


Under the hood

Anyhow, the video card to do more in Forged Alliance, because seeing the graphics are slightly better. The differences are subtle, but if you pay attention, you see that the more effects to the body, and the units are sharper look. A bigger difference is in the new view of the Fog Of War. In SupCom fog that what you hear is not seen hide, responded rather late on moving your army. This time, it looks like you would expect and it goes very smoothly. Unfortunately, it takes more time again the video card.
SupCom In the factions had their own visual style and the Seraphim are no exception. The aliens give preference to smooth shapes, circles, and asymmetry. What I find really nice is that it is clear to see where the Aeon inspiration have achieved. Their architecture
, the AI has been completely rewritten, and the more difficult variants offer a greater challenge than in SupCom. If that is not hard enough for you, you can also choose computer players get extra resources and the entire map are visible.
Heavier requirements for the video card will be compensated with optimizations for the processor and memory, though this remains a game with high system . With a quad-core games with eight participants and hundreds of units can still slow.
The sound is still the same, but there is good new music. I think it's less that the number of songs is still low, especially since the original music SupCom no longer in it. Forged Alliance is an extension, but the original Supreme Commander is not required to play. As for multiplayer the same system as at the Dawn of War games is applied. If you only have Forged Alliance, you can only play online with the Seraphim. Want to use the other three factions, you will also be SupCom. Hold Offline it does not matter whether you have the original.



Conclusion

In just seven months, Gas Powered Games with Forged Alliance expansion that made ​​the original improves on virtually every point. There is a new campaign that like all great turn out and the whole game has gone on the shovel. The game is definitely the heavy system, still not for everyone, but for the more action reminding gameplay deserves FA certainly the attention of strategy lovers, even those who liked the original SupCom too slow.
The price will not be because I have recently Supreme Commander Gold Edition, which both games are, you are for only 20 euros in the shop. My wish for Supreme Commander 2: Princess Rhianne and Commander Dostya mud wrestling together and, um ... yeah.
