A map is where the battles take place. Each map has its own terrain, with specific places where mass extractors and hydrocarbon power generators can be placed and where commanders begin the battle.
A map has a dramatic effect on the battle. It determines which units are more effective, where the lines of battle are drawn, and how quickly or slowly each side's economy can grow. See the maps category for a list of maps in the game and some analysis of their features.
There are several kinds of map in supreme commander. They come in either Campaign or Skirmish mode. Also, they can be official (Packaged by default in either Supreme Commander or Forged Alliance), or user created. Some high quality user created maps were reunited in a Map Pack, and it is considered by many players to be the "Official unofficial community map pack".
Official Maps
Official maps are created by GPGNet and are built into the game. Many of these maps are used for the single player campaign. Others are used for multiplayer matches.
