The one feature SupCom lacks is a comprehensive easy to understand user interface guide.

After selecting a group of units, holding down right click and tapping left click allows you to choose one of four standard formations (land/air/sea have different choices as well). Moving units in formation causes them to move in unison. Giving one group of units a way point, then selecting a separate group of units and double clicking on the first groups way point marker gives the "joint strike" option. This can be done with multiple way points or not, and is most effective when used strategically and tactically. Bombardment from artillery on a point defense, ground units from the south taking out an anti air turret for the trimming of an air offensive on another point defense for the ground assault to move forward. Changing the formation of your ground troops to abreast and moving forward as artillery reigns down and you engage.

Unit queues are in every modern RTS, this one allows you to have factories assist each other, to have queues repeated in unit selection order, and have the units have an initial order off the production line (your usual move-to, attack, guard, assist, and patrol).

SupCom is not for you, that's cool. It's was developed for the hardcore RTS fan, Chris Taylors words himself. I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise, but I'm certainly not going to be contempt with people getting the wrong information.

This largest feature of this game, and I've said it time and time again, is its "modability". There a feature that isn't in the game you want to see? It's as simple as understanding LUA script and BAM it can happen. Want to create your own control scheme? Your own unit formations? Your own orders? Rules for units when engaged automaticaly? The ability is there, and it is encouraged.

Wow, I totally railroaded this thread. If you want tips in SupCom, PM me or join us in the SupCom thread.
