Has anyone played Supreme Commander? It's essentially the spiritual successor the 90s RTS-fest that was Total Annihilation. The original game alone was epic but had a good number of annoying quirks, but the expansion pack Forged Alliance really lets it shine. For those that don't know, it's based around the concept of a single commander unit which starts off with limited resources. From the start of the match, you build factories that create engineers to build all sorts of other factories, defensive structures, shipyards, shield generators, stealth systems, radar towers, artillery, etc., and you can command up to 1000 units. In the final stages of the game, you can even build experimental units which dwarf everything else in terms of size and firepower and can take on whole armies alone.
A sequel recently came out (Supreme Commander 2), but they scaled the complexity and epic-ness way down... and since it was primarily made by a different company, I don't really consider it in the same league. But the original had a story I really liked, of all these warring human factions vying for victory in the Infinite War, a conflict that has been raging for 1000 years since the fall of the Earth Empire. Very fun game all around, and I wanted to see if anyone else played it.
