Converting energy to mass is inefficient, as Einstein pointed out, but it means avoiding the risk of expanding.įrom the moment the game starts, everything I do is geared towards building a Monkeylord as soon as humanly possible. Meanwhile, Graham is building enough energy generators – in a perfect grid – that he'll never need to leave his base. Rich himself gets to work on Colossi: vast bipedal deathbots that fire white-hot lasers from their faces. Tim stomps his commander down to Rich's base and hides among the power generators, using his remaining mass to build artillery. They often assign low priority to finishing you off: once they're sure you can't win, they won't risk damaging their units more than they have to by attacking your last defensive positions. Tim takes heavy damage too, but isn't quite eliminated: the AI smash through his base, but leave a few buildings standing and just move on, down towards Graham. He's out, and Tom Senior is next in line.
I don't have time to check up on how that works out, but pretty soon Jaz's commander goes nuclear and his whole base is levelled, so I'm guessing not well. Jaz builds waddling Harvog assault bots, loads them into large transports, then uses the new Illuminate air teleport ability to zap them directly into the enemy base. They're closest to the AIs, and the onslaught is tough to defend.
The game starts, and within a few minutes Tim and Jaz are under attack. And Jaz, who makes land units then ferries them about in air transports. Tom Senior, who likes to spread his base out and make outposts. Me, a Cybran obsessed with making my experimentals invincible with hundreds of mobile shields. Graham, who builds meticulously neat, self-sufficient bases, then masses artillery and planes. Rich, who plays Illuminate and likes to teleport giant humanoid robots across the map. Below them, clockwise around the dust bowl, we have: Tim, who doesn't play much SupCom but has joined in to try the DLC. They produce resources 200% faster than us, their units build twice as fast, and they level up in combat at a ridiculous rate. At the top of the map, we have the two Cheating AIs.
