This looks great and all, but i'm not paying good money for it if it's all /guzzles your ram.

it's quite scalable. they actually suggest dual sli for it, but you won't need it.
lower settings, lower resolutions, smaller maps & smaller unit limit would play fine on most quasi-recent computers, I'd think.
it was the same with Total Annihilation. it took years before people could play the largest maps with 5,000 units at a tolerable speed

Dual SLi for a RTS? Wtf?
I've been playing Rise of Legends for about a week now, and it runs fine even on a DX8 card (My friend bought a Dell with no AGP, or PCI-Express slots, only PCI)
My 7800GS runs almost every game in my collection at 1440x900 with 8xAA and 8xOsotropic filtering.
Now I must get this game, because it's making me wet.

yeah, it's an rts, but when you look at those screens, imagine maps 400+ square kilometers, a 5,000 limit cap PER PERSON with up to 8 people, it makes sense that it's going to need some intense power to play it under some of these scenerios.

Oh, I have looked, and what I have seen, it makes me squishy.
There are several titles out there that try to mimic the epic scale of the battle perceived, but this game looks so open ended, I can see where the rendering pipelines and architecture of SLi would come in handy (not like SLi wouldn't come in handy anyway no matter what you were playing)
Are you going to be at the mall at midnight to pick up your copy? Haha. (Remembers the Halo 2 fiasco) :)

Wowzer, just wowzer.
wowzer, I found a word that's identical to wowzer.
That looks pretty good actually, I have no interest in it but.........

yeah, I'm super hyped about this game. Total Annihilation is one of my all time favorite games ever. Supreme Commander is the "sprititual sequel" to TA, like 10 years after the release of the original game. guy who lead development of TA & Dungeon Siege is behind it. I'm pretty damn hyped. <3

I'm really looking forward to Star Trek: Legacy.
YES, YES I know, it's a Star Trek game. However, I've been waiting for something like this since Elite Force was released.
Hopefully the massive scale between all 3 generations will allow the game to seem more "open" then claustrophobic like most RTS games I play.
