I assume you know about the original Supreme Commander game. Though I never installed a single patch for Supreme Commander, Forged alliance seriously changes the UI. The minimap is removed (who needs it). This certainly speeds the game up. The UI is compact and easy too. They added many more musics and improved the original, so the game is actually not boring in phases of peace. The campaign is well thought out, and you can choose with which side to complete it at start. There are some little differences between them. The experimental units are balanced, and some much needed units are added, like the amphibious siege assault bot. There are a couple of well thought out Tech 4 units in the game, like the Paragon unlimited resource generator. The gameplay is generally much better. And one more thing. They overhauled the AI, which means the originals are stronger, and they added the AIx type with 3 new tactics: Adaptive, Turtler and Rusher. They are basically unbeatable in 1 on 1.
