When they build a building, it looks like it's being constructed by a modern robotic assembly line, most of their units use kinetic weapons like slug-throwers and physical missiles, and they don't have too many fancy tricks up their sleeve. Boring, but Practical: This is the UEF's aesthetic (though not their gameplay mode, see Faction Calculus below).Base on Wheels: Not quite to the hilariously ludicrous extent of the original Fatboy, but the Fatboy Mk.2 is basically a firebase on treads, sporting four huge battleship turrets and a fifth dorsal turret the size of most factories.Authority Equals Asskicking: Your ACU is slow-moving but outclasses most starting units and, once fully upgraded, can even give some of the Experimentals a run for their money.
The original Cybran Monkeylord from the first game was brought over and it retains the larger scale of everything.Its Megablast, however, is one-button death. The Cybran Bomb-Bouncer's shield only barely extends beyond its own body.Stick it in the water, though, and it becomes a killing machine. For the research, mass and energy costs, it destructive power relative to other experimentals as well as conventional units is quite poor. The Illuminate "Pullinsmash" (a huge tank that creates a singularity above itself, sucking in nearby units) seems to play this one straight.This makes commanding your forces from the strategic view much, much easier. Anti-Frustration Features: One of this games single most useful additions to the formula is the automatic creation of selection groups whenever orders are issued or units are created in sequence.Airborne Aircraft Carrier: UEF experimental Flying Air Factory, which is pretty much what it sounds like.Reception of the game at the time was mixed although Supreme Commander 2 was popular with critics, the game was controversial amongst hardcore fans for its gameplay streamlining, and ultimately the game failed to make the same splash as its predecessors.
