I played Total Annihilation as a kid. Finding Beyond All Reason was amazing.
And spectating 8v8+ with tens of thousands of units is something else.
It's unfortunate that large scale RTS isn't a more popular genre.
Instead it's all Fortnite/CoD/WoW

if you haven't seen already, check YouTube where the mods enable larger lobbies.
There are some really good casts of 40 vs 40 players or more!

And, for completion, with the same engine that beyond all reason is done, but with a different game play feeling: https://zero-k.info/
I personally prefer Zero-K (flatter tech tree, territory can be more important), but both are great games.

#10An underrated aspect of the SupCom engine was that it natively supported multiple monitors, with independently controllable cameras on each one so you could keep an eye on any two parts of the map, or just zoom the second one all the way out to get a giant minimap. That's something you never see today even though it would be easier to pull off with modern graphics APIs (IIRC SupCom actually runs two copies of the game simultaneously, driving one monitor each, to get around DirectX limitations of the time).
