Supreme Commander Cybran Ground ForcesĬybran ground forces tend to be weaker than their UEF or Aeon counterparts, but make up for this by deploying units with accurate, devastating weaponry. The one downside of possessing ships that can each engage two distinct threats at a time is that they excel at combating neither - so a similar sized force of Aeon vessels whose firepower is maximized to do damage to enemy ships can wreak havoc on a Cybran formation. In Supreme Commander, Cybran naval units at sea are fairly well rooted in the middle of the pack, when compared to their Aeon or UEF counterparts. This forcibly added dimension plays perfectly into the general Cybran penchant for surprise. ![]() While they are not optimized for land use due to their size and painfully slow movement speed when walking, the ability to move onshore effectively eliminates any benefit an opponent reaps from moving vital structures out of range of normal naval bombardments. Possibly the best example lies in the ability of some of their ships to sprout legs and walk on land. Supreme Commander: Cybrans at SeaĬybran naval forces are highly demonstrative of the Cybran commitment to versatility. The difficulty lies in actually breaking through to the vital sections of an enemy base - especially once tier 3 air defense turrets are operational, most air strikes are blasted out of the sky before they even pass the first skirmish line.īut the Cybran tier 3 bomber’s stealth capabilities means that, unless omni sensor arrays are active, the bomber will almost always get through - and when wielding a bomb that can destroy a fusion reactor with two hits, it doesn’t take many successful strikes to crush a base. As in its spiritual predecessor, Total Annihilation, aircraft in Supreme Commander, as a rule, can do extreme damage to defenses they can breach. Cybran heavy bombers are equipped with stealth technology and do vast amounts of damage to structures they attack. Long term the playing field equalizes somewhat as each faction deploys tier three fighters, but by this point the Cybrans have another trick up their sleeve - the best heavy bomber in Supreme Commander. ![]() In skirmish missions Cybran players can attain air superiority early on thanks to the efficiency of these tier 1 interceptors. ![]() Utilizing nanite technology that fires small guided projectiles at opposing aircraft, the basic Cybran interceptor is generally superior to both its UEF and Aeon counterpart, especially if fighting in conjunction with Cybran air defenses. Of the factions, their air defense and air superiority units are the most potent. In the Supreme Commander Cybran campaign scenarios, the Cybran love of aviation technology is apparent. To the Skies: Cybran Air Power in Supreme Commander ![]() And as a result the Cybrans have developed radically versatile aircraft, ground units, and naval vessels that can adapt to and dominate any environment. With dedicated, numerically superior foes to ward off, the Cybrans have had to take full advantage of their technological advantages and resort to guerrilla warfare in order to survive. Even far from Earth the Cybrans are pursued to the better end by the UEF forces who seek their enslavement and the Aeon Illuminate that wants to exterminate them. The most persecuted faction in Supreme Commander, Cybran history is a tale of slavery and domination resulting in a forced exile to the farthest reaches of the galaxy.
