I played a few vanilla mod games and omg the balance is so bad.

FAB spam is horrible, T2 bots pwn all land units, T3 broadswords pwn everything, and sub spam wins any naval battle. You'd have to be crazy to like vanilla

A tournament sounds like a fun idea Prince, I'd be up for it.

asf spam is horrible, cheap exp pwn all land units, T3 bomber pwn everything, and (t3) sub(hunter) spam wins any naval battle(except against uef). You'd have to be crazy to like fa


I played some vanilla matches the past few days and it has some real advantages over fa, of course overall it has the inferior gameplay and balancing, but some things are (especially in the lategame) better. For example the experimentals FEEL like experimentals, they are much more powerful, but arent rush/spam-able(except you have gone excessive with the massfabs).
- T3 air gets punished hard by t3 aa.
- Imo better faction diversity (also the broadsword is at least 100 times cooler with its slow projectiles)
- Scathis and Mavor are implemented in the game

It somehow feels more epic, doesn't it?

One (minor) downside: I remember a SupCom vanilla game I played with friends and it practically took an hour to get the tempest across the centre of the water of FOUR CORNERS.

T2 bots pwn all land units

Even the Fatboy?

Only improvement supcom mod has on FA is that its easier to make units, so T1 spam isn't overpowered, and T1 engie spam is a lot less rampant. It's worse in every other area tho.

Just to inform you guys since you are using it for a tournament, the Aeon nuke launcher in the Vanilla mod is missing a 0 in the mass cost, making it 10x cheaper than the rest of them. (Should still be true if it hasn't been fixed in the last 2 weeks)

Thanks,will talk to Mr-Smith today
