Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance is a real-time strategy game developed by Gas Powered Games and published by THQ in 2007. It is the standalone expansion to the original Supreme Commander game and takes players to a whole new level of strategic warfare.
Storyline
The game is set in the 37th century, where the three major factions, United Earth Federation (UEF), Cybran Nation, and Aeon Illuminate, have been engaged in a galactic war for years. In Forged Alliance, a new enemy, known as “The Seraphim,” emerges, threatening to wipe out all life in the universe.
As a commander of one of the factions, it is your duty to lead your forces to victory and eliminate the Seraphim threat. The game also expands upon the original story of the three factions, providing more depth and background to the conflict.

Forged Alliance follows the same gameplay mechanics as the original Supreme Commander game, with a few notable additions. The game features a massive scale of battles, with up to 1000 units on the battlefield at a time, allowing players to wage war on a grand scale.
The factions have also been enhanced, with new units, structures, and upgrades added to their arsenals. The Seraphim faction is the major addition to the game, bringing unique and powerful units to the battlefield.
The game also introduces new gameplay mechanics such as building templates, allowing players to quickly reproduce structures they have built before, and the ability to construct powerful experimental units that can turn the tide of battle.
