Does anybody know of a good Supreme Commander map site? I've been playing it recently and have this overwhelming urge to see if there are any Tower Defense maps available for it.
I'm not knowledgeable about gaming sites. I usually just dig up my patches and leave it at that.
Havent downloaded a mod since the Community Expansion Pack for UT2004.


Another thought: Act of war. Age Of Mythology. TA Kingdoms. Empire Earth. All of these would be ripe for some Tower Defense.

:Q
DUDE! I just had a fantastic idea!!!
Baldurs Gate 2 Tower Defense. Minsc flinging arrows and hamsters at goblins & orcs. Yoshimo tossing poisoned throwing daggers at werewolfs and wolfweres.
:Q How about Imoen & Nalia zapping foes with Magic Missile and Fireball.
AND DEATH FOG!!! Awesome!

Oh man I wish I knew how to mod.

Never Winter Nights 2 has a tower defense portion like that. I thought it was pretty fun.

Age of Chivalry has a stronghold defense level, I think it is called Helms Deep.

Omega Tower Defense - Hands down the best Tower Defense game.


WTF how do you even get passed the first level without losing life?

Hehe, the start is a big pain in the wazoo until you know how.

You'll crap yourself at how hard this game REALLY gets.

On a slightly nicer note, I purchased Defence Grid: The Awakening off Steam last night and it is very good. I am getting a little frustrated at how "slow" it starts off but it does a really good job of strapping you for resources and now maybe 6 or 7 missions on, it is really forcing me to focus on tower placement and priorities.

For Omega Tower Defence, you need to place 2 Cannon Towers at the bottom of the map near the U... one to pick them off as they come down, one to finish off any stragglers and use the PAUSE button, upgrade their RoF and Damage. Add a 3rd cannon tower near the end of the map.... it may be used. You should be able to save up for an Artillery over the coming waves which will be your bread and butter for some time to come.

Once I survived the first few waves, it was a cake walk until around the 40's then the fan is spraying the brown stuff around.

Cash Towers are fantastic if you use them a lot early on.

heh was about to mention defense grid, how much did you pay for it? is it still $20?
thats the price i like to see in a digital distro. not 50$ for some files. it compensates you for not having disc in hand. thats a big reason i pick-up hard copies of games.
