How Pathfinding Works In Supreme Commander 2

That's pretty awesome. I hate when you have large groups of units that get stuck on each other. This happens in pretty much all RTS games I've played so far.

 One of the things I took away from the demo was how awful the path finding was. I has units getting stuck in others and being pushed around. But I guess the demo was a work in progress, maybe the path finding was corrected late in development. At least the demo ran smooth, I saw the last game with the expansion run in to frame rate issues . . .on a 9800GX2.

"Tried to fool the pathfinder by giving ANOTHER MOVE COMMAND"
 
Really? Giving an extra move command is putting this thing to the test? Cause if you play any rts you'd know you sometimes give like 5 different move commands to a unit in a second during intense battles.

" As sciencey person that stuff seems pretty cool regardless of the game. "

Cool stuff

Doesn't seem like a big deal to me but I am not game programmer.

I played the demo and the thing that struck me about the unit movement is how smaller units will be pushed around like they're sliding on an oil-slick. Was a little off-putting, but apart from that I can see the game has merits... and Nolan North

I prefer the Clipping technology, where stuff just goes through stuff.

UW! UW! UW! best known for creating pathfinding technology!!.......

FYI, the Total War series always had this technology of two cohorts/regiments passing through each other without units spinning around not knowing what to do.  It's good to see other games adopt it, although it's kind of sad it took until 2010 to still see such rudimentary pathfinding implemented.  Oh well, Total War has its own pathfinding annoyances too.  Try navigating through a breach in a fortress wall or a town full of small buildings.  You'll want to rip your hair out.

Really nice.
