Interview with Sir Loui

Posted by

Uzi on 4th Feb 2008 @ 7:32pm


	As one of the finest exponents in the art of commanding Sir_Loui has fought all opponents to a standstill - and then some. Our very own Supreme Commander chief admin - Adam caught up with him to find out more about what makes this commander tick... Hi Sir_Loui, for those that don’t know the name could you tell us a little about yourself and what you do? Hi ho, my name is Ludvig Cederblad. Im 18 years old and i come from the cold country Sweden. I live in a small town close to Stockholm and study society/sports. Im working weekends as a sports journalist. And another thing yeah, i got a passion for games :P I play football and Supreme Commander Forged Alliance. I love the excitement and the pressure in those games. An obvious question first, with so many RTS games out there what made you decide on Supreme Commander as your game of choice? Because it focus more on macro than on micro, but you can still play extremely micro oriented and win. It is a game that allows totally different tactics and strategys. One of the few "true" strategy games in my opinion. So if you had to pick one – what would be the single point that you feel makes Supreme Commander stand out from the rest of the crowd? Hmm actually there is so much but one of the maybe simplest and best things is the waypoint, repeat on factory and assist factory system. It is far superior to any other strategy game ive seen. You have played Sup Com from the early stages and had access to the first BETA’s of Forged Alliance, have GPG delivered the game you hoped for and genuinely improved upon what was already a top quality game? Yes they have. FA is great and improved vanilla supcom incredible much. There is now room for many more tactics and the eco system is way better. Although FA is superb we want GPG to continue the support of FA and patch it. We are waiting for a patch at the moment but the games is top quality. Have the players had to make any drastic changes in game play to allow for changes to the game or will a good knowledge of the original game be enough for your average player and have there been many top players who have struggled to come to terms with the new gameplay? I think most top players have been struggling a bit trying to find the best strats, but that is natural when the expansion so drastically changed the game. I think TheLittleOne is one of the players that camed up with most new tactics lately. Some players always does the same but it is when trying new things the gameplay evolve. Obviously you are in theSGL Attrition 2v2 league season, who in you division do you think are going to the team to watch out for? I think TBO/TLO/Beetle and ISU with Bhaal/Bluescreen looks really strong. I would consider them as favourites but that dosnt mean we other teams wont give them a good fight! By contrast is there a team in the league that you think are underrated and could easily go on to give other teams a tough match each week? hmm, then i would have to say the admins ^^ TheCoreCommander and TheArmCommander. They are strong in 2v2 and it will be fun to see how they make it in the first league. TAC got the role of eco meanwhile TCC provides the strategys... I think they might suprise some of us :P Finally on the subject of your upcoming opposition, excluding yourself from the equation, who do you think will be the winners of the season? TBO/TLO/Beetle Most Supcom is played one vs one and there has been a noted lack of activity in the GPG 2v2 ladders, is there a reason why this is so and do you think a 2v2 league such as this could help kick start more players into action? yes there is a very good reason why i dont play 2v2 ranked. The starting positions is totally random so you end up playing 2x 1v1 three times of four and it is very boring for 2v2. This league system with different divisions looks awesome. I hope we can get some unortodox maps in the rotation too. Is there a major difference in the way you would play a 2v2 match as opposed to a 1v1, would your build strategy differ greatly from normal? yes, totally. I have had some troubles to adjust to 2v2 because i used to be a 1v1 only player. You need to scout much more since there is 2 enemys and if they decide to go with a premade strat it is a must. In 2v2 you got to make up roles for your team members and have a premade general strategy. Having another player watching your back while you build your armies is a good thing of course, but is there any disadvantage in having half your forces in someone elses control? yes i think there are some. If you dont teamwork enough you wont get the units in time to the key positions. But if you teamwork enough there shouldnt really be any serious trouble. I33 once again has set out it’s stall to lure the Sup Com community to Newbury, after your experience at i32 what are you most looking forward to when you return this time? The hotel ;) lol nah i would say the atmosphere and all the tournaments going on everywhere. It is also pretty fun to actually meet other supcom players who you might have played ranked against and arguing with at gpg chat.. theSGL has been hosting cups for SupCom for some time now and there is very much a core player base we expect to see in our events. Since we have got used to seeing the same players fighting it out on a regular basis do you think the number of new maps will have any effect on things? yes, i hope we get some new custom made maps in for the league. It allows more creativity and adjusting to situations, and i would call it harder then just play the same maps over and over. What is the most intresting map in you opinion for the first week, the maps consisting of Eye of the storm, open palms and Daroza's Sanctuary? Eye of the storm easily. I hate both palms and Daroza. Eye is a great map allowing many different strats. But palms is overplayed and Daroza got a silly huge amount of reclaimable rocks which makes it boring in my opinion. And how do you this weeks game against TAG is going to go and is there any one of the maps you are most looking forward to? Yes the game on Eye of the storm. As i said its easily the best map of those. I know the TAG players very good and i know they will play very very strong. They have played together for a very long time meanwhile me Mentel and Usling is a new partnership. So it will definately be interesting. What your favourite map for 2on2’s and what’s the reason for this being your favourite map? And what is the map you don’t like in the map list? and the reason you don’t like this map? i would say Eye of the storm is my favourite 2v2 map. You can do naval, land and air strategies. It has a very cool layout and is very well made. Finally – Which race is your favourite to play as and of course which single unit is the one you enjoy using and why? In 1v1 i pick race after map or play random when i do 1v1 ranked. I like to do different strats and play with different sorts of units. I cant say i have a favourite faction..or well they are all my favourites ;) The unit i like most is my commander!! Thanks for your time and may we wish you the best of luck in your upcoming matches.
