14 DAY TRIAL // Supreme Commander is a game of three factions, all of which are human offshoots engaged in what is called the "Infinite War". One side is fighting to restore an empire, one side for freedom, and one looking to clean the Galaxy of non-believers.
The three factions are: United Earth Federation, Aeon Illuminate and Cybran Nation. The United Earth Federation is the human side that seeks to re-unite humanity and restore the old Earth Empire from which they developed after a protracted period of dissolution. The use of Cybran slaves and ideology of forced unity lends a darker side to a faction that should have been the good guys.
The Aeon Illuminate is a quasi-religious order of humans who have adopted the advanced philosophy and technology of a highly intelligent extinct extraterrestrial species, who are convinced that the collapse of the Earth Empire was due to the logistical failures which became common to human organizations on massive scales. The only way to guarantee human prosperity and peace into the future is through their scientific world view.
The Cybran Nation is composed of Symbionts, humans with computerized brains and enhanced with implantable technology, including most importantly a downloaded mutual AI. This allows them to think more quickly and more precisely, to be more perceptive, to have greater and more accurate memory recall but also to be more easily controlled. They fight for the liberation of their fellow Cybran from the oppressive United Earth Federation.
Supreme Commander creates strategy-focused gameplay on a large scale with two basic resources, Energy and Mass, using a 'strategic zoom' system that lets players zoom out far enough to view the entire map at a glance and if you use a wide-screen monitor, the image can be split down the middle to form two virtual screens in order to get a better view of everything. The music is composed by Jeremy Soule and the volume bar will always be at the max.
The game was developed by Chris Taylor's Gas Powered Games and is due for release on February 20th, 2007.
