Supreme Commander 2 - Real Time - me VS cheating AI (with commentary) in HD

Real time battle of me playing as the UEF fighting the cheating AI as the Cybran, with commentary (and awesome music at the end)
Please note: I am a noob when it comes to strategy games, but I love supreme commander!!!!

So I just beat the campaign on normal and started playing skirmish matches against the AI, and quickly noticed that Hard was too easy and Cheating was too hard. This was my second time beating cheating AI on this map.

I recorded it using a trial version of fraps, so the clips are limited to 30 seconds. It also made the game take a frame rate hit to around 20fps. When not recording, the game runs at 30fps on my laptop and only drops during hectic battles.

Sorry about the slightly lame commentary, I didn't have anything written, I was just commenting on the fly. I made this video to hopefully help out people who were having trouble against cheating AI.

This isn't the only strategy. This is just the first one that worked for me. I'd love to see other strategies from other people. Hope you enjoy!

[Gothnic345]

the first ai´s are all very easy

now they have after 8min experimentals

@Gothnic345 yeah, this video was made shortly after the game was released, the AI was just plain stupid in most cases. I heard that they really improved on the AI, haven't tried it though unfortunately, too busy playing other games :(

[MasterPokemon2000]

I really liked the vid but i acciedentaly hit the dislike button sorry for bad english

[Joeymtl123]

@MasterPokemon2000 it's all good, glad you enjoyed it :)

[hahabendover]

how do you set like were the fighter patrol and how do you get the circles and lines and everything im kinda new to the game :p

[Joeymtl123]

@hahabendover It's all in the shift key :D

To make the patrols for my fighter jets, I lclicked the factory, right clicked somewhere for the rally point (where the produced units will gather), clicked on the "patrol" button, then while holding shift, right clicked a few points to make the patrol. Now every unit produced from that factory will go to the rally point, then follow the patrol route on its own, so you can spend your time concentrating on other things. I highly recommend using "shift"

i play this game on xbox i am pretty good but i hate loyalty guns

[sang3Eta]

You should make like 5 engineers to help speed up your factories. The Easy AI on Forged Aliance is insanely fast, not easy at all. ;D

i did custom 100+ everything they fucking have a MASSIVE base half of the map in 6 mins and over 300 troops in 8 mins

[MegaNiceguy321]

My strategy is to secure nearby mass extracting points, 3 energy generators, and then a blockade of air, and land defense, and 2 research stations, I first research those stars on the bottom for structures, make the cost go down, damage go up, and build time decrease, while simultaneously building a blockade of air, and land defenses.

[MegaNiceguy321]

In the campaign for thew console version, it's 250 unit cap, online, or in skirmish matches, it goes down to fricken 200 -.-

[MegaNiceguy321]

@Aninjatoitle Same here bro, they captured my universal Colossus T^T

[nickizgr8]

I once saw a easy ai beat a cheating ai what i did was have me and a friend on a ffa map with 1 cheating ai and 3 easy ai it was on the round map with the round pool in the middle. I put me and my friend next to each other so we could work together. While we were massing for a attack the cheating ai moved all his units out and went to attack an easy ai while he went to attack another easy ai send his troops to the cheating ai and with no defences the cheating ai got owned i was like wow

[TheGeekishGuy]

@MadBagOfHorses Yeah, I agree.

Eventually I rememered how to play. Now Cheating AI is moderately easy for me. There are some games that I can never recover from a break...

[MadBagOfHorses]

@TheGeekishGuy

A - rust comes with time. No where is this more clear than in online play of Starcraft 2.

B - I believe they patched the AI. I'm not sure when it happened but the AI is supposed to be tougher now.

[TheGeekishGuy]

I don't know what's wrong with me... a month ago, hard was easy for me, and I was also frequently beating the cheating AI, where as after a month of a break, I can only last a small amount of time on hard -_-

[shadowfiend97]

what really pisses me of about AI, they do know a limit to their air units, the AI screw themselves over because once you get a small army over there, they got no ground units or defenses to stop you from raping them.
