Could any of the factions from SupCom FA beat races from Warhammer 40k in a fight?
>>
Yes.
>>
>>261023614
They would both lose to the races in StarCraft II because they would be controlled by real e-Sports players and not scrubby casual SimCity players like the ones that play SupCom.
>>
>>261023614
You can start off with the Tau, they're nothing special when matched against other OP universes.

Something crazy like a full Tyranid fleet or Necrons with machine-possessing powers might get a little hairier.
>>
>>261023614
Ground:yes, easily
Space:no
>>
>The T1 small robot walkers are 18M tall and are the smallest units
>Have technology to make matter from energy
>can build an entire army quickly no mater where they are just by converting plants and landscape to usable resources
Yeah
>>
>>261024370
Also, the very first unit sent out - the ACU - is fuckhuge, is an engineering suite by himself, and has relatively powerful combat systems.

What I want to know is what you could do against experimentals. Monkeylord spam? And that's not even getting into shit like Mavor and Paragon.
>>
This thread has been had on /tg/ numerous times before.

The general consensus is that if any of the Supcom forces are allowed even a few hours to get up and running, then they can steamroll basically any 40k force on the ground.

The only real chance 40k has is either to strike with overwhelming power shortly after the ACU made planetfall, or to try and leverage orbital/space superiority.

Supcom does have spaceships, but likely nowhere near the size and number of 40k. Given that ACUs can build quantum gates, that renders space travel redundant. But if they were able to call in mass orbital bombardment or exterminatus before the ACU had a proper shield network running, they'd have a shot.
>>
>>261025513
Do you have any links to archived discussions of this?
>>
>>261023614
To be honest, I'm pretty sure the planetary annihilation faction could fuck them both up.

I mean for one the supcom factions/machines require actual pilots that drive them, meaning there would technically be a limit to how many pilots they can put out. The race of AI in PA has no pilots, it's like an entire supcom faction on autopilot who also have the ability to weaponize entire planets. They have all the advantages a supcom faction has (besides land based experimental units) and then some. They can also launch inter-planetary nukes.

Basically if a supcom faction started on one planet and the PA faction started on another, the supcom faction would be pretty fucked.
>>
>>261026286
Not only that but in general the PA faction seems to build at a much faster rate in general by default, so they could actually field a formidable army much faster.
>>
>>261026286
Only the commander unit and support units have pilots. everything else is AI.
>>
>>261024217
oh how little you know. some of the wc3 and sc2 player started playing supcom on a pro level after the game died they went on to blizz games
>>
>>261025513
makes sense
>>
>>261026286
Only Commanders have pilots (and I think their tac support is around somewhere)

Everything else is driven by AI or controlled directly by the Commander.
>>
>>261029521
Oh right, well still, that's a few more pilots than the PA faction needs.
>>
Couldn't Chaos just corrupt the machines, and possess them, or something?
>>
>>261026286
I personally like to think that SupCom, Total Annihilation and Planetary Annihilation are in the same timeline, just long ways apart.

The thousand year war and Seraphim conflict were the first galaxy wide wars, when ACUs still needed pilots. When the Seraphim got their asses kicked out the Cybran rebellion kept going, ending up as Core. By the time of TA the galaxy is pretty much dry of resources and the only a hint of human intelligence is remaining in the machines. This is also when the "metal planets" make their appearance. PA taking place long, long afterwards when some of the now completely robotic commanders malfunction and start killing the first thing they can find.

Makes plenty of sense to me and makes them all more enjoyable to play in a way, this is now my head-canon.

>>261025916
Second this, sounds like a fun read.
>>
No. Well, at least not the Imperium of Man. The Imperium literally has the resources of an entire galaxy available for them. Also they could just nuke the shit out of them from orbit.
>>
>>261033393
SupCom commanders start shitting out nukes like candy if they're left alone for an hour or two.

Imperium might have all the resources imaginable but their interstellar travel is hideously slow, while ACUs can just teleport from system to system like nobody's business.
>>
>>261031124
Supcom has stronger mindrape
Black Sun has power to mindrape everyone nearly instantly
Commanders are shielded from mind control anyway
>>
>>261031124
Aeon will mindrape back.
>>
>>261033393
Supcom races spread like a fucking virus. They could gate in commanders to your planets and just hop through conquering all of them. Nuking a planet would just mean one less planet YOU have access to.
>>
Seraphim will wreck your shit

Only things that even stand a chance are other factions capable of exponential growth, like the Hiigarans (who would have space supremacy but would eventually lose anyway).
If you want to get crazier, the Culture, the Wolves, maybe a super-efficient Von Neumann swarm would be able to stomp them.

Yeah 40k is screwed. The only way the Imperium of Man would have a chance in a ground fight is if they happened to have a titan legion on the planet and they can get too the ACU within an hour.

Of course if the void dragon wakes from his nap on Mars well....

Necrons wouldn't even care about the defenses

once a commander has a base going it still self works.
It can still build, defend and attack and spiral out of control if let.

On top of that SC is the lowest tier in comparison to TA and PA.
No worries about weakness such as assassination.
No worries about resources past the first hour.
Just endless building that can over a galaxy in less than a month if not stopped.

Are SupCom factions capable of inter galactical teleportation? By the sounds of this thread a single galaxy would get filled out way too fast and be irrecoverable once a faction has a hold of it.

Also how well does the single player campaign explain the SupCom universe? Is SupCom 2 canon?
>>
>>261048415
>Are SupCom factions capable of inter galactical teleportation?
From what I recall there's a whole bunch of quantum gates floating around in the galaxy. They act like stargates/mass relays, where you can teleport from a planet to a gate, then beam from that gate to any other gate in the galaxy.
>>
>>261048741

I'm rusty on the lore, but aren't the gates made by humans too? It's nice to have a universe where it's not some cop-out "ancient aliens did it!" bullshit.
>>
>>261049067
Yes, the gate and the technology were pure man made
>>
>>261049067
They send ships off into space that go and build these gates. When the cybran use the black sun to obliterate the entire thing I think they cited it would take a couple hundred years to rebuilt it all. Which begs the question, how the hell did they get there? Does supcom have FTL that doesn't require something on the other side to receive whatever you're sending?
>>
>>261049067
>>261049151

Well the seraphim might of had something to do with it, but at most that would have been humans reverse engineering their tech.
>>
>>261049350
>Does supcom have FTL that doesn't require something on the other side to receive whatever you're sending?
I'd say teleportation is FTL, and there doesn't seem to be a gate around when the commander first warps in.
>>
>>261049350
Supcom can teleport anything anywhere but it requires a lot of energy
Quantum gates reduce this cost to near zero
>>
we'll never know because they're separate universes
>>
>>261049623
They have a highly energy intensive teleportation which sort of like a subspace catapult, a gateway makes it much more efficient to transport SCUs. It's the reason why your ACU flattens everything around him in a mile while your SCU rolls off the carpet.

The only thing I didn't like about Supcom FA's story was QAI betraying you. Why can't I have a bro AI that helps you, its almost taboo in storytelling for some reason.

I never got why you had to destroy him either, what happened in Supcom 1 made it sound like the Seraphim gained backdoor access from the artifacts you stole to power him up. I guess its more of a betrayal/trust thing though. Fuck Supcom 2 for not using him at all, for other than a map name cameo.

Yeah, but Cain totally betrays you thanks to the override, and you can only get him back by having max relationships with everyone, iirc. That's some real nasty micromanaging of dialogue to have it at that point, and you can't even NG+ your stats or anything, you have to try over every time.

now I'm imagining an Ork Rok falling from space as the massive machines fire at it and it comes down and smashes everything in its path. Then proceed to loot what in the area, making an entirely mechanized clan, actually I'm pretty sure there was an Ork clan during the Great Crusade who had an entire planet of scrap.

Say, are these TA/PA machines capable of learning how to actually wipe out an Ork menace on a planet permanently? On purpose that is.
>>
>>261051449
Well, a lot of them use superheated plasma/lasers/flamethrowers so the potential to destroy the spores is there if they learn.

I think the biggest advantage of SC is that the races are willing to learn and research their enemies

While story-wise they probably meant for that to be the case, this guy sure as fuck doesn't remind you of him at all. The personality is a complete opposite of QAI. Thats probably SE's fault though, the story was garbage especially what happened with Brackman and how he acted near the end.

>>261050481
I probably should of mentioned RTS. EVA is the closest to a helpful AI I can think of and shes more a notification system then an AI. A few times in Supcom 1 QAI helped you out, like when he created a virus for you to use to kill a swarm of gunships.

>>261053375
I'm referring to steam FA. FAF does all kinds of weird things to balance that I don't understand. So I wont even go there.
In regards to land, they lack a T1 workhorse, their T2 is mediocre to average, their T3 is powerful against other T3 but weak against T2.
Air they have nothing to show except for broadswords, anything you can do with broadswords you can do with T2 gunships so it only shines in 2x and 4v4 games where it devolves into who has the most DPS and armour.
Navy they become unstoppable once they're filled out with shields, battlecruisers, and torpedo boats, but if another faction attacks you before that point the navy will turn into soggy paper because each unit relies on the strengths of the other units.

They just have nothing to take initiative with. They have strong tools but it's all something you'd need an already established lead to utilize.
>>
>>261054062
Yes
And fluffwise they are even more powerfull than they are in the game

You really only have to let them loose on the enemy and they'd do the rest.

Would be hard to mop up, but within the abilities of the imperium given the fact that they can deal with warp phenomenon and the enemy can't.

Also, I'm not sure if any Grey Knights are canonically at that level of power, but they are the Imperium's Mary Sue's and are incorruptible, so it seems at least within the realm of possibility.

These psykers are some of the most important people in the imperium.

Chaos on the other hand has shit loads of psykers above delta grade but majority of them have been pulled into the chaos gods games completely and will spend the rest of their lives in the eye of terror.

Point is, unless someone in 40K verse quickly grasps just how much shit they are in, no one is going to be able to respond in time, and they are sure as shit not going to send a alpha grade psyker over what might be nothing.

He's talking about the ACU.

But I suppose people in the SupCom verse aren't that dumb to have critical areas unshielded from teleportation in a franchise wherer teleportation is possible and known, even if this isn't actually adressed in the main story.
>>
>>261057246
>iirc those were being paraded through the city as part of the triumph of a crusade

Yep. I'm just pointing to the fact that if whole batches exist at any given time, let alone one, they have to be getting round up at some frequency, meaning the probability that they'd have these people available across the whole imperium is high.

In any case, I don't think they'd be necessary for the 40k universe to win. Psionic/warp abilities are just too strong.

The only real problem would be the inevitable corruption of the enemy to Chaos.

Also Seraphim use Eldrich horrors to power their mechas
Said eldrich horrors cannot be harmed or even perceived by humans
After unleashing them they are able to vaporize groups of titan sized mechas in matter of seconds before returning to their dimension

Remember, the Emperor himself can intervene to the extent of passing along information if he deems the threat grave.

Is less than Five years actually due to the quantum waves caused by the destruction of the gate

It takes an ACU only a few hours to have a enormous army.
I highly doubt that word of the new threat would reach the emperor by that time.

The answer is "probabily".
Keep in mind the WAAAGH field is still a field, so they need to be close for them to have effect, a million orks contributes nothing to a fight happening in the other side of the galaxy

They set off in search of more battles.
>>
>>261059371
They mop up any remaining non Orks and loot. Then they make the planet orky or lift off to find another fight if the Warboss says so. This happened in one of the planets in the Cadian system where a Warboss invaded there and immediately left after they won since that battle was just used as a warmup before they headed to the Eye of Terror. Commanders were left confused but the planet remained in human control even though they lost it to the Orks in battle.

Depends on the Orks mood.
sometimes they slaughter everyone.
Sometimes they just leave.
Other times they round everyone up, shout at them then leave.

With 7-8 mexes and being left alone for about an hour they'd already have a Paragon or any other gameender.

A Paragon isn't a game ender. It's shittier than 2 T3 Mexes. It takes way too long to build and explodes like a American after eating tacos, destroying your base and you. It's a expensive suicide weapon that everyone will target.

>>261054459
Every faction is more or less balanced in every tier, give or take some. UEF lacks in some areas, like a strong experimental land unit and their air is nothing special. Fatboys are cool, but they can't hold a candle to any other experimental 1v1. They also don't have a lot of HP, and a strat pass that can takes 2-3 passes to kill the next weakest t4, the monkeylord, will kill a fatboy in one.

They make up for it by tying for the best T3 unit, the Percy (along with the Cybran Brick), having T3 point defense, and Battlecruisers/Atlantis.

The best t1 arty is the seraphim one though, the lobo has a low fire rate and frontloaded damage, so is not useful in a fight
