The epic showboating doesn't end there either, as the map eventually quadruples in size to uncover a whole chain of islands and another pair of Ixittling armies - one friendly, the other not. While messing around in boats (and subs) in the solo campaign, the battles are as epic as ever, with each individual turret on the deck of my hulking destroyer shooting its payload to devastating effect.
As Taylor points out, this provides a stream of new missions without changing maps, and certainly looks to be one of the most promising features of Supreme Commander's single-player campaign. The first map is a small island liarely large enough for my hulking Armoured Command Unit to stomp around, but after completing a few simple build objectives that ease me gently into the resource system, the map expands to reveal a new shore, and then later a second island - effectively tripling the size of the original playfield. I begin to see what the enthusiastic RTS overlord means when I jump into the solo campaign as the alien-fused Aeon - the side Taylor says are hardest to master.
Come on, these bases are identical!' Or, more than that, the designers start taking that away from you and start just giving yon liases. "Have you ever played an RTS game, asks Taylor, "where you've got to build your base, you've won the objective and then the next level starts and you build your base again? By the fourth or fifth time you're going. Taylor's latest epic RTS that lets you command armies in the high thousands, and step on trees with armaments seemingly designed in a GoBot factory.
Today too, it's also home to grinning development legend Chris Taylor, attempting to feed something called Chartreuse to yours truly, a drink so powerful it was originally invented by Tibetan monks to keep warm in snow storms.Ī few hours earlier though, I'd been introduced to the world's first hands-on with the single-player campaign of Supreme Commander. And, for today at least, the city of giant UEF faction ice sculptures, 70ft rolxitic drunken frankenstcins and the craziest RTS zoom control you've ever seen.
