Haha yea that 2x mod just moved everything along very quickly. I think when very large orbital units and warfare starts there's the potential to just go...errrr what should I do to win this, whilst trying to keep your own resources in check! Thanks for watching 👍
I'd say prioritize economy, and when that is active, actively upgrade to tier 2 and Kernels until you are able to spam titans and unit cannons. Im quite new at the game too but I noticed that hotkeys helped me a lot, combined with a standardized way of playing (i split the game in stages, and decide beforehand what I usually do during those stages). At 2x, I just try to progress 2x faster through those stages. I love how complicated this game can get lol
ok so... i made, the entire solar system... in this game... including a few moons... i have yet to see an epic scale battle be fought in it... and i need it.
Ik this is old but when ur mass making unit cannons, and u have some making advanced fabs, just dedicate 1 to make 50-50 and the rest to make ur fighting troops. U didnt need all those cannons producing advanced fab bots. U needed more slammers
i feel like since you were the closest planet to the annihilaser you could've rushed it with unit cannon fabricators and just lasered everyone else pretty quickly. then again, that might've been less interesting on video
@@DanRTS Lot of time is taken up switching between planets and looking at them. Perhaps using control groups (ctrl-1-9), and double pressing a recall group (1-9) to select teleporters/factories, and reserving say 9-5 (or "unused" slots, where nothing important is there) for temporary armies or defended scout parties and just using that to flip around to armies you send out may help reduce the time spent looking at multiple planets. I personally find that half the time spent managing multi-planetary is just moving back and fourth between the two planets if you use zero control groups. The game gives you one at the start (1 to select commander) so that can help quite a bit already. I haven't tried the temporary army thing yet, it should technically be better, but until then, I believe finding a way to use at least 2-3 control groups to switch between planets in whatever way you're comfortable first would be best. You can also just use it for unit cannons/nukes or whatever.
Hey Ben thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I do, but I don't publicise it as yet as the PA discord is very active so tend to use that. Is it something you would be interested in?
If I'm honest, it really has quietend down. Whilst you'll usually be able to find a game to play in the evenings, and if you host one people will join, those aren't very begginer friendly. I have been playing a bit of BAR recently and the game is super active. I will start recording more BAR content soon. Heh yea more than 2 planets is incredibly hard to manage. I tend to set up tasks on other planets and let them go for it.
@@DanRTS I tried bar but it's just ugly..I wish the graphics and units looked better.. I've literally Uninstalled and installed it 3 different times lol I just feel supcom is a much much better game so why play something inferior I don't have that much time to waste lol
I personally think the game graphics are pretty decent, especially after the recent gfx update. The UI is horrible though, they need a proper UI designer on board. It's very 'developer' designed. Heh. I used to love and be genuinely really good at SupCom, then fell away from it, and recently tried FAF and it was super baffling to me. Need to pick it up again!
@@DanRTS why was it baffling? Lol it hasn't changed really. I still think it's way better than any other rts..I feel like it might stay this way for good..I hope I'm wrong but there isn't much hope
Haha. Baffling because I've been playing a lot of PA, and trying to meld my mind back to it was hard. I mean it has been about 12 years of not playing it. I need to spend some time with it again!
I absolutely know the feeling of just not knowing what to do. Especially with 2x build speed i feel like the game would get super confusing.

I am happy people still play this beautiful game.
Me too! it's underrated. Do you play much?
@@DanRTS im new but i want to have an ally first u want to beacome?
This was a good game! We should do more of these multi planet and/or hypa games!
Definately! Had a blast. Looking forward to your view ☺️
@@DanRTS Thanks, i'll probably upload it tomorrow :)
ok so... i made, the entire solar system... in this game... including a few moons... i have yet to see an epic scale battle be fought in it... and i need it.
Ha I'd love to see it. Find me on discord and I'll find some time to have a game! discord.com/invite/juXv63sUHr
Awesome game. Thanks for posting.
Glad you enjoyed it 🤠
He did it lets goooo
Haha thanks!
Brilliant game, fantastic luck on the com snipe.
Ha wasn't it just! Super lucky that one!
I'm not sure it counts as a com snipe when they walk into you and not the other way around
This system is named after the main planets in DUNE
You should do a galactic war with mods and I would love to see that from your perspective. Love your content keep it up.
I may just oblige to do that. I have never looked at what galactic war mods there are!
Ik this is old but when ur mass making unit cannons, and u have some making advanced fabs, just dedicate 1 to make 50-50 and the rest to make ur fighting troops. U didnt need all those cannons producing advanced fab bots. U needed more slammers
This is a good tip, thanks! I tend just to replicate a build order on unitcannons, but you have a good point there :) Thanks
Ha ha what a game! That was an incredibly lucky snipe! Well played HeliosTiTanRTS!
Haha it was rather lucky wasn't it, but not incredibly, just mildly. A bit slightly more than mildly lucky, perhaps...very lucky.
There should totally be a portal for boats.
Yea that would be super handy. And air to send it intergalactic
I will never play this game (just not great at RTS games) but it's entertaining to watch.
You would be welcomed if you ever fancied it!
i like
Frantic.
i feel like since you were the closest planet to the annihilaser you could've rushed it with unit cannon fabricators and just lasered everyone else pretty quickly. then again, that might've been less interesting on video
Yea I probably could have although multiplanet management is not a strong suit of mine. I do love the annilhilazer though! Heh

That Dune reference is the worst thing I have seen today
nice video! do yous have a discord you use to set up games?
Hey Ben thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I do, but I don't publicise it as yet as the PA discord is very active so tend to use that. Is it something you would be interested in?
whats the mod that makes the nuke launch debris into space?
I think it is called 'more pew pew'? Not infront of pc at the moment but can check later if not
I've just checked - I think it's actually a mod called 'Bigger Explosions'.
your a gd person
i thing it will better if the commanders have difriend units
You mean like factions? There are two faction mods that are fantastic, ones called legion and the other bugs.
@@DanRTS where in the menu?
@@DanRTS how can i create skirmis whit bot over 3 vs 3?
You need to add the faction mods within mod manager on the main menu.
If you go on single player skirmish, then select 'team armies', you'll be able to add multiple players per team. Hope that helps!
IS this dead or people still play? I went back to Forged alliance Forever. 2 planets was enough...anymore and it was jus too much shit going on

Почему ты всё время смеёшься, ты что, сумасшедший?
Why yes, yes I am. Imo if you don't have fun playing a game, it's not worth playing!
