These are of course different depending on which race you choose to play as. One for each of the different armies (land, water, air), one for your ACU and one for your buildings. The tab button opens a menu where you choose what you want to research, which is divided into five groups.


One of the most exciting changes is the way you upgrade your army. Those are the kinds of questions you will be asking yourself throughout the game. Should I use a lot of resources to get myself am Experimental, or should I rather pump out thirty tanks and anti-AA instead? Are the enemy building nuclear weapons? Should I build defenses against it, or should I just fly in to destroy it with the 50 planes I have which might be a good offensive move but will weaken my defensive capabilities. Knowing what they're up to is as important as looking after your own affairs. The fighting takes place on land, sea and air, so balancing your troops accordingly becomes essential.Īs in all strategy games, you must also think ahead and react to what the enemy does. And as in all other RTS games, it's all about rock, paper, scissors when it comes to what unit beats who. The robot can be used in combat, and has several special passive and active properties to research. The goal is to destroy your opponent's ACU. A robot on two legs, which can build factories to pump out units, defenses or other useful aids that will help you win the war. The mechanics are as follows you operate an ACU (short for Armored Command Unit) which serves as the main base. The predecessor could render armies of up to 1,000 units, but Supreme Commander 2 has been toned down to a level where it still retains the charm that made number one as well, but at the same time turning the game into something everyone can have fun with. Unlike its predecessor, which was one of the most difficult strategy games I have ever experienced, Supreme Commander 2 is nothing except a joy to play. Fortunately, Supreme Commander 2 isn't like most games. Most games have a tendency to punish you for this kind of behavior. I love strategy games, but sadly I'm a so-called "turtle" I love building up my forces, but I hate to send them into battle.
