Developed over the last 9 years, the LOUD Project is a complete reworking of the core code for Supreme Commander: Forged Alliance. Focusing specifically on improving not only the AI, but overall game performance - LOUD can now easily run games with 5000+ units, at normal speed, on 40k and larger maps. The package includes subsets of many of the most popular mods, adapted specifically for use with the LOUD project, and an entire collection of updated maps specifically marked to optimize performance with the LOUD project.

I was told that this game had fixed the lag issues. Seven hours play the same as three and a half hour game time (see below).

I start a game with 7 AI's on 4 islands. When I had 4 Tech 1 Extractors and just started building some storages, I look around the map to see how the AI's are doing. They only have a few T1 extractors, but about 30 land craft each. Their bases grow three times faster. LOUD AI's must be very difficult cheating AI's, but its the only option available.

Have played 3 maps. Yesterday I played for 7 hours on a map that had 11 AI's Their bases were huge compared to mine. I was able to take them out one by one, but the game slowed way down.

What you were told was quite wrong - LOUD didn't fix the slowdown - it just greatly improved it. The reasonable limit on units went from about 1500 to over 5000, total units. With 7 AI, you've quite likely gone far beyond that.

The 'cheat' is up to you - at 1.0 - LOUD gets no advantages - and you can set the cheat value from 0.1 (brain dead) to 99 (impossible). What makes him different is his dynamic response to situations. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, good or bad, the best place to get information and help is via our Discord - the link to it is on the front screen of the launcher.

Where do you set the "cheat"? Just so I can tone them down on some maps (like the one I tried to play this morning). I was barely at T2 and they were all flying around with dozens of T3 aircraft getting ready to blindside me.

The AI is super smart. When I had a bunch of Air Superiority in the air, all of theirs ran back to their base where the antiaircraft installations were. When I parked mine at my base, they came at me again.

As you add an AI to your game - you'll see a 1.0 appear on each AI line - you can set that value any way you like.
