What's wrong with playing the original Supreme Commander campaign? There are plenty of balance changes and a few new units in FA, but the SupCom campaign is very useful to learn unit interactions and economy concepts.

Great vids, thanks for those. One suggestions: the air micro could also explain t1 micro. E.g. bomber micro.
Though they could have been in other vids I have not yet watched them all.

i included it somewhere but i think it's just like one sentence 'cause is really only click, stop, click, stop, click, stop every 0.5 seconds

The waiting can be shorten by releasing campaign map by map, as soon as it's done. Of course, it's not a job for one guy and I don't know the way to integrate this to faf.

you're so heavily off topic pls open a new thread if you want to to what you said before

now back to the Thread: any critism/contructive feedback?

If we could remake the solo campaign, we would have a real tool to efficiently attract and initiate new players.

I don't know anything in programing, but I already worked on a Neverwinter Nights mod, I can make maps for FA, and I have to say that I would be very excited to work on a such project.

iasked for feedback not for suggestion that might take months or even years

Yeah, sure, redoing a solo campaign. I don't think you realize the work needed for that.

Also, what's wrong with the current one ?
