The Czar graveyard is my new desktop background.

I like the GG on that screenshot. If I were some supreme commander dude and I saw that coming towards me I think I’d say something similar.

I love you Tom! You take great screenshots, you figure out interesting ways to play games, you describe them brilliantly. You’re the Valve of games journalism! =D

You may now have all my monies.

Moni – I did something similar in SupCom 2, but the scale is certainly a different order of magnitude.

SupCom 1’s unit cap is interesting – it has one, it’s just very high, you can increase it, and all units only count as ‘1’. In other words, it doesn’t try to make maxed-out armies balanced, and it’s actually part of the late-game tactics to figure out what low-tech stuff you can now suicide in order to free up cap for higher value units.

So I could have made 499 Czars, or even 1,499, if I was that obsessive about it.

See, this is why unit caps are no fun. Dawn of War, for example, made me very sad when I could no longer roll over the opponent in five Baneblades.

Man.

I can see those wrecks forming whole civilizations around them. I would play a game set in that graveyard, I think.

Now that’s scale.

You’re missing out, Moni!

The funny thing about SC1’s SP campaign is that the later missions encouraged this sort of nonsense. I remember my brother launching squadrons of Czars at the foe in one Aeon mission…

Good times.

I haven’t played SupCom, but I have played the second game. Am I missing out on stuff like this, or am I just playing SupCom 2 wrong?

My heart just skipped a beat over the beauty of a Czar graveyard.
