Pah! Given their crazy tech levels any amount of infantry and fleshy meatbags is useless when you have crazy tech that can literally create hordes of tanks with sentient AI on the spot in several minutes(think holodeck technology^10 in terms of speed and scale) big grin

Zerg would still win ninja

The hilarious thing about that debate was that the SupCom was at a major disadvantage being just about the sole and only thing that was actually doing somethingto combat the rest of the galaxy.
Now some of the new calc's in SupCom artillery points to every artillery shell being able to dish out megatons of damage.

Fun fact: It takes 125 energy per second to run the Klink Hammer. The Klink Hammer fires a shell that is easily 406mm. Using the Iowa 406mm shell, which weighs 1 ton, it takes roughly 22.5 gigatons of energy to produce that. Divide by 3 for its fire rate, so it takes 7.5 gigatons of energy per second, which divides by 125 to equal
60 megatons per second per energy point.

It's safe to say that SupCom is overkill to the max. smile

Couple that with SupCom's maddening industrial capabilities and it becomes overkill * 10^9

WOOT ive been waiting for this game, i heard the release date for the UK version is sometihn like 24th of Febuary so that sucks.....oh well...i can w8 for a game as awsome as this...Aeon FTW

Wouldn't matter Trillions of weak Zerg > A few hundred thousand SUpCom units wink

The only way the the SupCom could could wipe out the entire army would be to Nuke the entire planet, thus eliminating themselvs as well stick out tongue

thats an outright silly quantification when every single supcom unit can withstand nuclear damage greater then any of the yields that any of the modern nukes can dish out themselves. The bottom line: The zerg wouldn't even be able to put a dent into any of the supcom units because of their absurdly strong armor. They wouldn't even need to nuke the zerg since they would pose as nothing but a nuisance to be trampled on when ever they attempt to interfere.

Burning thought
Zerg are better against opponents who actually have flesh and bone...their weapons can penetrate armor but only to a limited level...

get a Tzar and a Galactic colossus and ime sure they could defend a planet for eternity against the Zerg..welll....if the zerg couldnt get any larger than their army alredy is within this little battle

Half true. The zerg destroy units that can withstand a direct Nuclear launch all the time...

so HAH! Happy Dance

^of only starcraft nukes, which at best possesses yields that are no bigger then 1 megaton. The mech marine, a more lower tier unit requires 100 megatons of firepower and they move at speeds of 300 kmph. Bloody hell, even the Aeon Collosus tops at 120 kmph. And thats just ONE unit. Of an extremely low tier of power. Extrapolate that to every other unit and what you see before you is an army pretty much invincible to the likes of anything the Zerg can dish out. SupCom pretty much outclasses Zerg in terms of speed, unit creation rate, firepower and industrial capacity.
