  Yes, it replaced Dawn of War as my favourite game and you know how much i like DoW! It is very hardware hungry, though. On my AMD3000+ with 1GB Ram and 6600GT grafic card the biggest game i can play is a 20x20 map (that's kilometres btw!!!) with 4 players each at 500 units.

The biggest map is 80x80 km, you can play with 8 players each at 1000 units !!! Of course you should bring some free hours/days to play them tongue.gif The game units (especially the Mega-Units called Experimentals), the giant nuke explosions, the shields, well, it's awesome!

See here for a nice (beware: low-res) usermade film: http://video.google.de/videoplay?docid=361...q=flail-supreme

and here for another one:

edit: There are already hundreds of maps and mods for this game, now you can e.g. play with 5000 units per side smile.gif Now models and total conversions are being developed, too. An official map editor will be released soon (an user-made editor already exists).

  Yeah, UFO: ET looks very interesting. Looking forwards to trying it indeed! You really should check out UFO: AL though. SupCom fun?
Aralez Posted 31st March 2007, 7:10pm
  @Slaughter, no, didn't try Afterlight yet, i'm mostly playing Supreme Commander these days smile.gif
But UFO:ET really interests me, iirc its release date is only 2 or 3 weeks away...

Corbec Ambidexterity is one of the skills in which you can train your soldiers. Ambidexterity means that you can use your right and left hands (or feet) equally, you are neither right or left handed.

  With or without the mod, I believe Major Ambidextry is needed.

Greetings! alien.gif
I have a question about the 3rd pic... dont know if it's a featutre in the mod but, how do i get my space marines (i like that expression blush.gif ) use both guns at the same time?

Yes and no I think. You can use some pistols dual in the normal game, but the mods gives you more weapons to use that way. You should ask ShadoWarrior or one of the other players however, as I haven't played as far as I wish I had yet (little free time these days).

@Aralez: Indeed old timer! smile.gif And you should be proud, as I believe ShadoWarrior played your mod quite a bit. He'll have to confirm that however. Did you play Afterlight yet?
Aralez Posted 30th March 2007, 1:16pm
  Gee, those were the times, Slaughter blush.gif

Good luck and my best wishes for the new project ShadoWarrior! thumbsup.gif
