    Just when I thought the RTS genre was in decline then this news comes out. THere has got to be a god.

    I am really looking forward to seeing how it really gets over the "resource war" pattern in RTS. I am getting freaking tired of playing RTS games of racing for that one resource point and losing it and the whole game with it.

    Finally - a game that rewards strategic thinking, not hotkey smashing!

    ...and those big robots look pretty cool, too <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo--> The sea battles in TA were great, imagine what they will be like in this game with its realistically-sized battleships >:)

    You guys have some weak faith is you're losing it in PC gaming. I'm pretty sure the games are getting better.

    Here's hoping they add to the mindboggling greatness of this game with an awesome classical soundtrack.

    Total Annihilation's soundtrack, like the original Star Wars, proves that the best music for Sci-fi is not techno, or rock, but classical. Most modern games overlook the power that a good classical soundtrack can bring to a game's atmosphere.

    I'm listening to the soundtrack as I type (you can just put your TA CD into the computer and run a media player, should pick up the music on it). Its worth the price of the game by itself.

    The guy who did the original TA soundtrack (Jeremy Soule) has been signed on by Gas Powered Games to do the soundtrack for Supreme Commander.

    I didn't really like TA all that much. However I am excited at the prospect of a new RTS. In my opinion starcraft hasn't been beaten.

    I believe "freedom" isn't. At least we have plenty to hand out to other people, in the form of freedom missiles and freedom bullets. But that's...besides...the point.

    On a serious note, can anyone explain what this is without getting mod-nuked?

    Did you play TA? There are "resource points" but they're not mandatory to use...


    There's energy produced by nuclear plants, wind power, solar power, which can be placed anywhere.
    Gas/thermal plants need to be placed on specific locations though.

    For your second resource, metal, you can put your extractor anywhere, but using a "node" is of course better.
    Metallo's can convert energy into metal.

    Random res points can be "consumed" by builder to instantly add res in your pool.


    Therefore, even if you're better off with key locations, you don't NEED res points.





    I loved the res model in TA. It was amazingly innovative too.

    I'm looking forward to Rise of Nations 2/Rise of Legends. I like the idea of an RTS set in a sort of alternate, technology-versus-magic world.
