You know what would be great? A remastered SupCom Forged Alliance. Modern tech, 64bit, high res textures and models, mod support but still the same game. I would buy that without hesitation
you know what would be great. If that had already been done on one of the existing supreme commander games engines but it gets ignored. Yeah supcom 2 has a mod that basically reverts it to FA but everyone fucking ignores it and it is a travesty.
My units won't run into each other constantly that is always a plus. I don't know why everyone blasted supcom 2. I really enjoyed it. Not as good as FA but still a good game.
My only causes for concern are the lack of relatively good speaking casters casting on a relatively regular schedule and the lack of casted games of all levels (noob, joes, high rankers, and LuXun stomping on people). I've got Gyle, you (TA4Life), ZLO, and LuXun as favorites, but really wasn't able to find much more. And all four of you guys output like a video a day over time. Contrary to my favorite LoL casters put out roughly three videos a day, each. That's how all those dota games made a rapid expansion. Lots of great casters casting regularly on virtually any kind of game, theme, and playstyle. Not saying LuXun or ZLo don't speak perfectly, just saying we need more casters, from many parts of the world, casting a huge number of games of virtually every style and level. Gyle should cast a few more games with himself present playing or having already played, in the game. It'd help spread FAF. Popular casters of any game get vastly more subs (and therefore views and support) if they feature themselves often, no matter how much of a noob they are. It helps if they're good at the game, though.
ElementZephyr LoL and Dota and starcraft are so popular because of the huge corporate machines behind them. You cannot compare a game that came out in 2007 and had its hayday before the youtube revolution which also had zero promotion from its makers towards esports with these other modern games.
ElementZephyr Those Dota games made a rapid expansion because they are free to play and much easier to get into. More casters will not magically make FAF as popular as LoL because of very obvious reasons.
SgtTeeh No, but it will establish a base for future subscribers and get people talking about the game in their circles. Also,shallow American pigs may not like or adhere to LuXun's and ZLO's foreign accents (understandable for those two, but people as a whole do a lot of judging based on fickle things like voices) Another issue, but more of a game specific issue, is the extreme lag that can happen when trying to play big games (or even a simple Seton's). It's a lot less of an issue in more "modern" games like PA, as Zaphod imply. And finally, an issue specific (mostly) to TA4Life. Trends have shown that people prefer short videos over these monster one hour plus videos that detail multiple games in the same video. You'll notice many of the most popular casters on UA-cam tend to considerably shorter videos, roughly 10-20 minutes in length. Chopping down (if possible) videos into separate smaller videos should help KEEP people interested. The game's awesome, but sitting down for an hour or two on the same video isn't. That, and it'd help your Total Video Count, which people judge on whether or not the person is a regular caster, and thus subject to subscribing.
ElementZephyr People chop down their videos because they want to get more views and more ads. You can always pause and watch the rest later, youtube even saves the spot for you. Those "modern" games are garbage compared to supcom fa, they are much smaller.
people should start playing supcom faf again :/ this is the best strategic game i have ever played, i just love it so much! so many mods and maps to try out, every game is different from one another, it's simply an epic game that needs to have more players in it. so please people, promote this game, tell your friends, your family, strangers, dig up dead people from the graves and whisper it in their skulls, whatever you can possibly think of, promote it! It is a game that is plain awesomeness!
@@beaubangston8211 Oh yeah, I have randomly reminded myself of this game once in a while, in a couple of year intervals and every time I get more of my friends into it :) I guess this game actually further matures with time, like wine.
pause at 23:25 - 23:26. Theres two explosions just next to the commander and the waves they leave for a second look exactly like smiley faces. Smiley Strats.
I love watching phantom games. They're always so epic. They're even better when the Innocents don't know who the phantoms are and the game becomes chaotic.
At 16:22 when you went dual screen... I knew this was going to be a good one Truly an Epic cast! Thanks Gyle really splendid job on this one, credit where credit is due to keep up with all that's going on and casting it to us well! Hard to keep up with all that action on my own, even harder to keep up with it all and talk about it too!
i like the game, i play the game, but god damn these guys or at least this style of game play is incredible! i watched it from start to finish! fantastic commentary my friend ill be sure watching more! keep up the great work!
What I love most about Phantom is the political intrigue element. Imagine if VoR_Tex was the paladin and he tricked macharal into admitting to be the phantom and he killed him unawares.
hey gyle just giving my opinion, i love the longer length matches. i especially enjoy these phantom matches, they add a new flavor to an already amazing game but i understand that it is extremely time consuming for you.
Gyle, I really appreciate the commentary. I tried some 1v1 after playing alone or with family for years. I had my ass handed to me. But I'll still come here to watch.
TY for these casts. I have just found this game. As for the length of the cast its fine. You tell everyone it's going to be over an hr. So it's up to us to decide if we want to watch it. You cast shorter vids also so I think keep the long vids also. Let us decide which 1;s to watch .TY again for all your work.
The blast radius on a Plan B submarine (and the other two strat subs as well) is the same as the blast radius of a land based nuke. However, they are much weaker, putting out 22000 damage in the inner radius as opposed to 70000 damage. Interestingly, though, a land based nuke's outer ring damage is only 500, while on a strat sub the outer ring does 3000 damage.
I had a SMD at the side island around minute 56 because I also made two T3 arties there. They were about to take out his Mavor. Thats why he was focusing fire there.
Total annihilation used to have weather phenomena that affected the game. I believe on the ice planets there were giant hail storms or something that could damage your base. Just goes to show how ahead of its time that game really was!
Fantastic game by Com and Duck! Don't know why it took Tex so long to figure out that he could easily produce nukes faster than they could produce antinukes :p
The ultimate beastmode that happens lategame from us, is what is referred to as "VoRBonus" Also, the ClanName is "Voice of Reason" You can find more about us at www.VoRClan.com Great game, and Great cast Gyle... And yes, Look forward to Cybran bashing hatemail!!! :D j/k, you rock!
I'll get a bowl of soup ready too, yeet! But hey thanks for the vids, just discovered recently. They're great to play in the background while I'm workin, so, cheers! You'll be getting a loootta watch time from me boio
The Cybran T3 Nuke Sub has a shorter range and a lower inner radius damage, BUT its outer ring radius is the same size as the land based nuke AND does more damage than the Land based nuke. Soooo the Sub Nuke is great at taking out larger areas of units BUT not as good at killing off those Upgraded ACU's
I always preferred Phantom games that became about paranoia and the phantom pitting everyone against each other. Seriously, that isn't cowardice that is playing smart.
You know what I was always confused about? Adding more engineers to a single factory seems to have diminishing returns. In a sandbox mode, I actually built a bunch of units either from massed factories or ones with spammed engineers and unit-per-unit the massed factories (without engineers) seemed to out-perform factories with numerous ones. Is there a reason, besides tech level, to just have spammed engineers over spammed factories?
i just wrote what gyle would thought sc2 is too amateur and arcady compared to something like supreme commander but then again they are two completely different games thought i remember in wc3 you had maps that were supreme commander maps with all units and stuff even some of the models looked like supreme commander models so technically sc2 and wc3 are good for making maps but not for ranked boring play
A mod i want is a good survival map for one player against AI. A good one would be a sraight road or canyon with you on one end and the AI on the other with a row of mass extractor spots from you up to the AI. Soon as you start the AI starts continually building and throwing units at you. Or is there one like this already i missed? The AI has to be on a fixed path. Canyon or whatever. I got the beta unity map and modding tool the other day and have been meaning to see if i can do anything with it. I'm guessing no. That's why i haven't bothered even trying it yet.
You know what would be great? A remastered SupCom Forged Alliance. Modern tech, 64bit, high res textures and models, mod support but still the same game.
I would buy that without hesitation
and you know what modern day players of steam would say (not me though) planetary annihilation titans
you know what would be great. If that had already been done on one of the existing supreme commander games engines but it gets ignored.
Yeah supcom 2 has a mod that basically reverts it to FA but everyone fucking ignores it and it is a travesty.
Lord tylers Titans does not even come close to the greatness of SupCom FA
pinkyfull I played that, it is not exactly good.
My units won't run into each other constantly that is always a plus. I don't know why everyone blasted supcom 2. I really enjoyed it. Not as good as FA but still a good game.
Dunno why this popped up in my recommended, but it was a great match.
Vortex might be enjoying the air supremacy
but
Com is invisible on the sea-bed, enjoying the soup
Promote the game. Share Gyle's videos with friends and strangers. This game will die without word of mouth. Your mouth.

Awesome cast, Gyle! I know Phantoms are daunting to cast but thanks for mucking through enough of them to find us a good one!
I would rather watch this over Dota 2

Learn 2 sarcasm... if you haven't already in the 4 months since this was posted....
Cybrans are a happy accident... Oh yes.
they USED to be people, the moment the chip went in their brains drained out.
[Angry Cybran noises]
Gyle, I really appreciate the commentary. I tried some 1v1 after playing alone or with family for years. I had my ass handed to me. But I'll still come here to watch.
The end game got draining to watch, props to the players though, for keeping a seemingly great attitude the whole time. GEEE GEEE
CYBRAN FOREVER

"miss-click cybran" love you gyle ;)
1:14:08: Douglas Adams reference. Love it!
Damn, this is some seriously large scale warfare.
I love your casts Gyle I hope there is more to come
The Support Commanders being named after Star Wars figures was hilarious
I had a SMD at the side island around minute 56 because I also made two T3 arties there. They were about to take out his Mavor. Thats why he was focusing fire there.
yeah, we saw.
even if gyle didn't look at it :p
SIns of a Solar Empire has some great scope and scale as well
A Valiant effort indeed, but alas their battle had a forgone conclusion...
Nicely done soldiers, I'd be proud to fight alongside any of you, any day.
That was quite the show📺👍🔥🔥🔥 🐉🐉🐲
I need to get a bowl ready for this vid, a bowl of soup that is.
To check the phantoms gyle look at who has the most storage because phantoms get huge amonts of storage
wow ive never seen a large number of planes like that scan from one end of the map to the other O.O amazing
wow this replay is amazing ! also 41:10
Such a great game, the remaining playerbase is still going strong. Can't imagine playing this massive and complex of a game with a "bowl of soup."
Haha. This Gyle guy. like a kid a Christmas when those meteors came down.
Total annihilation used to have weather phenomena that affected the game. I believe on the ice planets there were giant hail storms or something that could damage your base. Just goes to show how ahead of its time that game really was!
There were? I can't remember that. Or was it content of one of the expansions? I think, there was one I didn't have.
Mate i watch this as if it was a sport.
Amazing video! Best game ever. Like if your still playing in 2015!
all are still playing. who has ever launched it online :D
I think my brain has just melted. Im going to lay down for a while.
Fantastic game by Com and Duck! Don't know why it took Tex so long to figure out that he could easily produce nukes faster than they could produce antinukes :p
You can see who a phantom is by selecting them: the first obvious thing is that they get a shitton of storage.
I would love it if you cast more phantom, or make another channel for the even slower games?
I too enjoy a bowl of soup while watching these.
38x325=12350 damage per volley.
Having a bowl watching this.
RK visiting me in my dreams sounds truly terrifying.
how the hell is this game STILL better than any new renditions
I feel bloody exhausted after that! "SupCom Head" indeed...
Com and Duck did well to hold Vor_Tex off for so long, though. A very good game.
Excellent game, excellent cemetery,
I meant commentary. ;)
3:40 soup... nice save dad

mierzhen that's a bummer. well at least I haven't updated because it's a great mod. Adds plenty of units.

i so want this game so badly but i do not think mine computer will not be able to hander it :(
Seemed to go on unnecessarily for a little too long
Loved the commentary.

These Phantom games are good. Do more of them, Gyle!
PS Do you like SC2 or do you think it sucks?
it sucks
ozis ponas Good answer.
i just wrote what gyle would thought
sc2 is too amateur and arcady compared to something like supreme commander
but then again they are two completely different games
thought i remember in wc3 you had maps that were supreme commander maps with all units and stuff even some of the models looked like supreme commander models
so technically sc2 and wc3 are good for making maps but not for ranked boring play
Gyle said a bowl of soup Hahaha, More like a bowl of weed bro. I love smoking and playing Supcom
I think the game was kinda over when Fwippa got nuked.
This is drained me so much energy LOL
wooooo phantom
Is this Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance or just regular Supreme Commander 2?
KingGEARGAMING Forged Alliance Forever, which you need FA for. It's a community-ran thing because the original servers shut down I think
Gyle, all the units being used in these games, are they Vanilla units? also Great game, thnxs for the upload :D
