Square Enix Announces Supreme Commander 2 70
arcticstoat writes "Supreme Commander 2 has now been officially announced, but with a surprise publishing partner on board — Square Enix. Gas Powered Games' original RTS game and its expansion pack, Forged Alliance, were published by THQ, who is no stranger to the RTS genre, but Square Enix has previously specialized in Japanese RPGs such as Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest. Explaining the move, Square Enix said in a statement that it 'has previously worked exclusively with Japanese development companies, so the decision to form strategic partnerships with developers located outside of Japan serves as a new cornerstone of its strategy to create games targeted primarily at consumers in Europe and North America. Additionally, Square Enix Group's foray into the real-time strategy genre is a significant expansion of its product lineup.'"

But that's how you play it...
You send in a line of continual rocket kbots and small cheapies to harass and destroy mexxes and solars. While you do that, you set up a perimeter, prepare missile defences against aircraft and later on nukes, and tech up fast and build what you need.
By the time you cloak and get good radar coverage up, you should have a bertha or 2 for suppression and "OMG BERTHA".
One of the fun strategies is to play with cloakers and attack from both sides using either MERLs (medium range missile launchers) and artillery. They have no idea where it's coming from until they cut their forces in two trying to find the source... Then you send your big guys through the unguarded front door.
