UNITED EARTH FEDERATION SCREENS LAND AT THQ
Supreme Commander faction displays its military might
The Supreme Commander game page has been updated with new screens – check it out to see the United Earth Federation in action. If you’re wondering what the UEF is and how the faction intends to achieve global dominance, then look no further – read on for an official military breakdown from developer Gas Powered Games:
UEF Commanders’ main focus is their military might, and their prime virtue is order. They see nothing wrong with utilizing technology, including genetic engineering, to help achieve that lauded goal. Therefore, they still use large numbers of submissive Cybran workers, called symbionts in UEF space, who usually come from cloned stock and have been subtly programmed to be obedient to EarthCom.
In general, UEF military units are larger, more aggressive versions of 20th Century US military hardware; everything is bigger, louder, bristles with more weapons and packs a more impressive punch. They prefer weaponry that causes impact damage, such as various ballistic munitions, and area of effect ordinance that causes widespread destruction, such as nukes and radiation devices.
The faction also makes excellent use of lasers and plasma weapon technology to pinpoint sensitive areas on large military units. They tend to announce their impending attacks by utilizing brute-force jamming techniques before moving in for the kill.
UEF military tactics are the most conventional of the factions, with a focus on concentrated fire to bring down enemy units quickly and effectively. They also have a penchant for strong defences, allowing them precious time to marshal a response to any unexpected attack.
