supreme commander how to build experimental units

UEF Experimental Units

Fatboy – mobile factory.

The Fatboy is perhaps the game’s best experimental unit. “Mobile Factory” is not a very good description; rather, it is an “Amphibious Battleship” with a modicum of anti-air support, decent sub protection, and shields that let it “regenerate” health if the assault against it is a failure, to say nothing of being able to build and deploy T3 Engineers while shielded that can make T3 SAM sites or repair or whatever is necessary. Extremely slow, of course, but also extremely dangerous.

ATLANTIS – SUBMERSIBLE AIRCRAFT CARRIER

The Atlantis is a carrier that is as expensive as a battleship, and just as scary in the right circumstances. It has trouble turning around, of course, but it’s almost invulnerable while firing super-powerful torpedoes, and can then surface to launch its aircraft and pull out its tracking AA missiles. On sea maps, this is even more fearsome, because it doesn’t tie up your T3 naval factory for several minutes while it’s building. In fact, it IS a floating T3 air factory with twice the armor. This super-sub can give you the edge in combat or out of it.

MAVOR – STRATEGIC ARTILLERY

The Mavor is the closest thing in Supreme Commander to an ultimate weapon. It fires pinpoint artillery that breaks a heavy shield in one shot, has no maximum range, and requires only a couple Power Generators to keep running, unlike nukes, and also unlike nukes, there’s no way to shoot down its shells. The downside? It’s also ultimately expensive, and so weak that you must be constantly vigilant for everything from T3 bomber runs to cloaked Cybrans.

2. Supreme Commander 2 General hints and tips

Additional Build Menus

Special Commands

Command Chaining

When you have units selected you can target a structure or other unit to set your selection to protect your target. What that means is that they will follow their target and engage enemies that engage it. This is a neat way to have your air units follow and protect your ground units without them flying ahead and getting shredded by defences for no reason.

Experimental Units

Experimental units are expensive but quite strong units or buildings. However, in the case of units, all of them have a drawback that you can exploit or need to cover. All experimental units are built from a specialized structure that you will gain access to once your first experimental unit has been researched. You can build the Gantry from the second tab of your build menu.

Strength in Numbers

Even though some defences might seem impenetrable or some experimental units too strong, there is nothing the AI builds that you can't simply roll over with superior numbers and a somewhat good unit composition. You can have up to 250 units (which is a lie since buildings are also included in this count) at a given time.

If you use air units you pretty much only need Bombers or Gunships as enemies will seldom have a superior Fighter force. Even if they do, a dozen Fighters to protect your bomber is usually enough. A force of a hundred bombers (upgraded) is enough to bomb anything to Hell even on hard. While you may need to overcome shields or make a second run, no enemy defence will be able to stop you.

For ground units it is important to mix main and support units. I usually set my factories to build two bots or tanks for every one support unit, i.e.: three bots, one anti-air, one anti-missile, and one other unit. Keep in mind that this depends a bit on what faction you are using. A good mix of upgraded units can waltz right through an enemy base (just set your army to move to the back of the enemy base and they will clear a path right through it) with very few losses. I had a sizeable force of 140 units clean a Colossus and two Urchinows losing only eleven units myself.

The trick is to give the enemy too many targets to shoot at while packing overwhelming firepower yourself.

Improving your Buildings

As mentioned before, you can upgrade factories by using their secondary build menus to apply some handy add-ons. In addition, you can assign Engineers to factories to support them. You can assign multiple Engineers - up to three - to improve the speed that factories are building units. You can apply the same when constructing, although I would advise to always use your ACU as it is simply a lot faster than using your Engineers which should focus on repairs, wreckage collection and factory improvement in that order.

Save Games and Loading

Also, when selecting specific operations, be sure to check the difficulty as it will always default to normal.

Veterancy in this game behaves similar to other games. However, nearly everything can get a veteran rank. Units and defences will gain more hit points and damage and factories will produce units faster and at a lower cost. Factories will gain these ranks by total time spent producing units. Defences and units will earn ranks (up to five total) for defeating units in battle. Generally it is a good idea to keep your units around as veteran units are quite powerful. Hence, it is useful to gather units you are currently building up at the location of your base (assisted by Engineers to repair them and preferably behind shields) where the enemy will attack most frequently.

Experimental Units in Supreme Commander 2

Supreme Commander 2 Units

If you’ve played the first installment of this popular Real-time strategy game, developed by Gas Powered Games, it is likely you’ll want to get your hands on its sequel. Having received mostly favourable reviews, the new Supreme Commander looks more stylized, slicker and with richer details than its predecessor.

Three New Experimental Units

(UEF) Noah Cannon – This is one of the most powerful experimentals in the game, which allows you to first build units inside it and then launch them (for example launch a Sharp shooter, a Titan, a Rock Head) into enemy territory. The fire-rate is pretty rapid, allowing you to launch about 20-21 units per-minute, hence an arsenal of these can overwhelm your enemy with hordes of land units for surprise attacks. Don’t forget that, although powerful, the units which you launch are still vulnerable to enemies unless you take the necessary precautions (i.e. upgrading your land units for example).

Space Temple Experimental Teleporter

• Edit source

•  Experimental Base & Defense Units Major Base Minor Base Defensive/Misc Illuminate Space Temple  Experimental Teleporter Build Costs 1460 5175 190 Research Info Cost Cumulative 9 24 Unlocked By : Death Damage Damage radius 7500 4 A Space Temple Beacon The Space Temple Experimental Teleporter is an Illuminate major experimental unit. It creates a two-way teleportation conduit between it and any point on the map in it's impressive range, which both allies and enemies can use. The 1.4 patch introduced a cooldown timer of 30 seconds before the location of the Illuminate Space Temple Exit/Entry Beacon be moved. To compensate, the range of the teleporter was increased by 40%. Units do not have to actually enter the Temple or Beacon in order to teleport, they just need to be close to it. This allows deployable units like the Pulinsmash to deploy before teleporting. The Space Temple effectively allows your army to quickly travel anywhere within a large radius, and thus use it for lightning strikes on outlying enemy units. In a tough game, it can be used to drop units into the heart of an enemy base to take out a vital target. Be very careful to either heavily guard the Space Temple or manage the beacon carefully to avoid enemy armies using it, as the same high speed strikes that devastate your enemies could devastate you. A way to defend against the above is to place it with 5 loyality guns just within their effective range and then thank the enemy for his units and potentially technology. Be aware that the teleportation beacon you send out does not have a range of vision, so tread carefully. If you have a sizeable army teleport 5 tanks into the enemy base. If they fight by coming through the gate,(the don't have range of vision just like the portal) you can tear them apart on your own terms. If you have the temple covered with at least 20 ground turrets and leave the beacon in an area easily accesible by the enemy will most likely win you the game as he will exhaust all his resources trying to take you out. If you are playing against someone using a Space Temple, rather than sending in an army of normal units, pretend to ignore his beacon. Then, build a close range major experimental - a Cybranasaurus Rex, King Kriptor, or Universal Collosus - and use an experimental air transport (if UEF or Cybran) to drop it directly at his beacon. If done right, you can deploy the experimental into a very heavily defended base which otherwise it might not be able to reach. This is the most useful with the Cybranasaures Rex as it has a VERY limited range and will probably fall prey to Tactical Missile Launchers before it manages to get a single shot off otherwise. A good use for the Space Temple is to use it to directly reinforce a moving (land) army, especially with Universal Colossi. If the army is sufficiently large and is busy crushing all before it, the chances of enemy units using the beacon in reverse are very small, and with enough experimental gantries, you can drop 2-3 Colossi right behind the army every couple of minutes. Quantum Gate Network Tactic [ ] The Space Temple beacon is a good choice to build around if you teleport into the enemy base as it allows a possible secondary base and engineers will be able to retreat before the base is destroyed and the beacon can be moved away. or you can just build massive amounts of anti-land turrets or loyalty guns and get free units handed to you. When using the Space Temple, you should use the Quantum Gate Network tactic. This tactic includes building 3-4 or more Space Temple. First, you build the first Space Temple (near your base or in your base is fine), then, set the Beacon to an area that can be easily defended. Then, send a few engineers and/or your ACU through the First Space Temple. Use them to build several defense turrets and shields (you should first observe how your opponent(s) are building his/her forces. Focus the amount of turrets you have based off of how your opponent's strategy (if they are building a land army, build more Point Defense turrets, etc.) is. But always have at least 2 shield structures, and you'll be fine.) around the first beacon. Then, build a second Space temple next to that beacon. Drop that Space Temple's beacon close to your opponent's base (after that, you can repeat the steps above). An alternate method is to have one space temple where the enemy can see but not threaten it, with only a few Yenzoos near it, but another where the enemy can't see, with about 10 universal collosi outside. Find the enemy ACU, but don't let him realize you have. NOTE: DLC pack is useful here as you gain the illuminator. Put the beacon from the second Temple very near the enemy ACU, then move the Yenzoos near the first temple. With a bit of luck, your opponent will think you are just sending a few Yenzoos through. Then you simply teleport the Colossi through the second temple and laugh evilly. NOTE: this works even better when the enemy has his ACU's weapons upgraded a little, as he will consider the Yenzoos less of a threat, especially against inexperienced human players who have only encountered a Space Temple once or twice, as they probably won't guess what you're up to. The space Temple is a very valuable piece of technology, it's not a good idea to put one undefended on the battle field as it will be captured. The reason it is so valuable is because of its strategic options, even escorted transports are easily destroyed... This means any one with the ability to instantly transport up to 100 units into a base at a time has a clear advantage... Unlike the Illuminate teleports installed on basic units, this unit has much greater potential, it can teleport engineers to mass sites. Avoid air patrols. You should build this unit away from your main base, this is because enemy's can use it's beacon to travel back to your base, also put point defences nearby to kill any units foolish enough to come through. BUG: If you try to send too many units at once through the beacon they won't be able to teleport. To fix this send a unit through the space temple. 1 King Kriptor Experimental Assault Bot 2 Supreme Commander 2 3 Monkeylord Experimental Spiderbot Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance Report this post Get the Reddit app A subreddit about discussing topics and sharing links about anything related to Supreme Commander and its sequel, Supreme Commander 2. Supreme Commander (abbreviated "SupCom" or "SC") is a real-time strategy video game designed by Chris Taylor and developed by his company, Gas Powered Games. SC is widely considered to be the spiritual successor to Taylor's 1997 game, Total Annihilation. Is there a way to change unit sizes? or are there any mods that change unit sizes? (especially experimentals) I don't think experimentals are as epic as they should be. I want to change my game so that experimentals become these unstoppable behemoths that no matter how many T3s they throw at it, mean game over for your opponent unless they have one of their own (or nukes). I'd like to change the size of experimentals to about 2x or even 3x their own size, so as they absolutely dwarf all other T1, T2 and T3 units (but of course, they'll also be slower and more expensive). So as an experiment, I tried changing the UniformScale in the blueprint of the Spider bot (URL0402) from its default (.0725, I believe) to .01 but when I tried to build it, the game CTD'd. I remember reading that I had to change the hitbox and dimensions (x,y,z) but that's where I hit a wall and couldn't find any literature to guide me through that. I also tried this unit editor but I can't even get it to run. SOLVED! Read my comment below to see how to do it.
