any comparable games?
As much as i like to look of this game, I feel the sci fi theme just isn't my thing.

With that being said. Does any one know of any games here on steam that can give a similar experience of Supreme Commander, just without the sci fi angle?

You have to be more accurate then this.
Supcom is mainly just an rts game so any rts game is comparible.

If the theme is your biggest problem, are you looking for a more wo1-2, 18the century, medievel or ancient theme?

apart from that what aspects of supcom do you like to see in the game?

I'm mostly looking for an RTS that can provide same masive combind arms combat that i've seen in this game. Amry, Navy and Air force all working together under one player.

As for theme, i'm looking for something from the WW1-WW2 era into the 21st centry.

Well, there's the game's predecessor, Total Annihilation

Is it on steam?

There is also springrts engine that is just an updated total annihilation and planetary annihilation that is suppose to be a spiritual successor.

Ashes of the singularity is another choice.

Springrts is free and some of the games made on it are on steam. Zero-k and evolution RTS.

The rest you have to buy.

There were some mods in the making back in the days like Modern Warfare or WW2 mod but sadly cancled by the devs.Such mods i would greatly appreciate......would just be awesome

Well that just throws a monkey wrench in the works don't it.

Outside of the Supreme Annihilation (spiritual) series, no game can provide an adequately 'similar' experience of epic scale, total control, exponential increase, puzzle-piece balance, and fluid strategy.

Nevertheless, I shall muster my (guise of) knowledge of the Real-Time Strategy genre in an attempt to resolve your enquiry.

Non-science-fiction RTS titles seem rather limited to smaller scales of battle on account of historical accuracy or balancing the micro-management of fantastical powers.

The Total War series is famous for historical settings and large scale (and more recently, the Warhammer setting), but includes grand strategy ('world' map, turn-based, diplomacy) between real-time battles.

Age of Empires II is old, but remains the best RTS according to Steam250[steam250.com].

The Company of Heroes series, created by the same developer as that of the glorious Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War series, enjoys a World War II setting, and features (so I have been told) the same solid controls and mechanics as Dawn of War.

(Bonus advert: Warhammer 40,000[tvtropes.org] is an amazing universe of incredibly powerful warriors, endless lore, and grim, galaxy-shattering warfare.)

The Stronghold series is rather different to standard styles of play, but may be worth some investigation.

However, I think Wargame is most likely to fit your criteria.

Otherwise, non-science-fiction RTS games on Steam may well be limited to more indie titles in repetitive settings.

Enjoy. And feel free to revisit Supreme Commander when you feel the itch to see a giant laser-faced robot stomp through hundreds of combat units, or a kilometre-long military base insta-melting under the combined heat of several synchronised nuclear missiles.

A WW-Setting, although without Naval, is RUSE. It's Grand Strategie, and you have Cards which function as strategic tactics. (Hence the "ruse") where you can fake large armys and disturb the enemy. The map-scaling is similar to SC You can zoom in, until you see the face of infantry and levelless zoom out until you see the entire map. There is also base-building and building of units while you're playing in real-time.

In Wargame you define your units at the beginning of a game and then use them in the battle. The defined army is all you have, but you don't use them all at once.

Both Games are of the same developer.

if you like hundreds of units fighting you can try COSSACKS 3 . I have the game but did not play it a lot since I prefer sci-fi settings to medieval ones. That game could be for you.

Why nobody mention Planetary Annihilation. This is almost a sequel to Supreme Commander.
