Nice job Brad surviving that adhd woman. God blablablalbla at lightning speed. Too bad there wasnt a bit more time to show us the eco and tech :/ Claud I aint gonna do a coop with you for 6 months hehehe lets start a bit smaller yeah? :)
SuperArgh
Love the review :) Stupid question: Why is there a 20% difference between Stardock download not even a box at $49,99 and those three other stores (box) at arround $39 ? Not talking about pennies but 20% seems rather large.
Lol there is one thing I really hate about stardock. And thats their download speed. At best I get 140k from them. That was cool 5 years ago but in this age rofl. So prepare for a looooooong download. I dont have a crappy connection 1.2 MB download. Ok the rest about Stardock owns and is really good (To make up for the one thing I hate hehehe)
Well your entitled to your opinion but I am glad they didnt go for a campaign and put everything into skirmish / multiplay. What good is a heavily scripted campaign. and then have rubbish skirmish so no replay value.
Damn that clock goes so slow. Keep ze info comming I am already sold.
U sure mate cause that page also states: Sins of a Solar Empire (Digital Download Preorder) is currently available as Pre-Order only. With token purchases, your tokens will be immediately deducted but the product will not be available until it is officially released.
[quote] I like to create a mix of AI levels and AI personalities when there are multiple in a game. You are right, a hard AI may get to the weaker one before you do, but the race can be half the run! And if you're not one for speed, set some of your AI to 'hard' and 'defensive' and see how well you break his wall <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_19 src="http://images.stardock.com/smiles/Smile.gif" onload=ImageResizer.createOn(this); align=absMiddle border=0 tr
Schod ur my hero. You are the prime example why people rather play the AI then egos like you. In a 1 v 3 (team hard AI) on a large map you WILL NOT be able to win with 3 clicks a minute. Sure the beginning you wont click much but once the AI get their stuff together lol you need to click rather much to keep your empire together and expand.
AI small maps suck. AI large maps does a lot better especially when you play them 1 v 3(team) and they get some time to build up. I can see where the writer calls it nice AI. OMG do you guys remember the stock Supreme Commander AI ?? Sins beta one beats that with a mile. Now GIMME GAME!!!! :)
3? Hehehe That made me rofl. Whats next 1? Surprised you didnt die of boredom yet ;)
[quote]this game has got nothing to do with uber-clickers. I believe my click count is ~8-25 at any given minute, and I'm just fine thank-you. its based on strategy and resource allocation, not clickspeed. [/quote] 8? That made me smile. Playing 1v3 hard ai's I can assure you 8 would get you beaten. It pays off to micro your fleets while engaged to some degree. Clickspeed isnt as big as some rts I played but i wouldnt count it out either.
Is that you Frogboy glaring at us in the middle bottom :/ ?
Yes they run out but you can research a tech called orbital refinement which sends out large ships to the depleted resources to pick up whats left. Slower but that never stops.
[quote]I prefer cooperative play over competitive play. So multiplayer games consisting of me teamed with a friend or two versus a whole bunch of teamed AI on a nice steep difficulty setting would be my favorite choice. Playing alone (singleplayer) would be second, and playing against others would be last. [/quote] Hey you sound like me :) I recently played some beta 3 with a friend of mine coop and we really enjoyed it. For me coop is nr1. Singleplayer nr2 and oh dear
Yes i meant that after battle i cannot select anything else fleet wise. Attacking fleet is displayed but cant do anyything with it. Menu and planet clicks still works but i cannot select a fleet or the bugged fleet again. Usually when you click arround a bit the bug goes away but sometimes it crashes the complete game. This was also in beta 3. For me a work arround is possible as suggested in the beta 3 bug post but I also disabled everything under interface Battle options exept for Autoplay ful
Nice :)
Mouse stopping to work while clicking on fleet who just engaged in battle, several times. I have all animations off but I still see the fight on the main map. Playing on painfull as the Yor and lolz just as I am about to attack (Colony rush is over) I have almost depleted the tech tree already. Almost no enemy in orbit on their planets and I saw 1 or 2 enemy fleets thats about it and i have eye of the uni so i can see plenty. Very boring. Maintenance is rediculous. I want biiiigggg fleets and I
I agree here this is absolutly annoying owning an ai and it still thinks its more powerfull because of all his bs 2pc fighter spam being useless in orbit only to killed of in a rather repetative boring war. Geez make some average to fast attck fleets AI and who knows this game might be challeging instead of a 2pc crap fleets.
First game and I am playing with the Yor on painfull. The first thing i noticed was the immense potential to have a good eco with those stalks, recruitment centers and eco crystals. Get them to multiply :) I am making so much money lol am drowning in it. What did suprise me was to see the clan race with a 11hp 236 missle attack :) WTF is that? lol! For the first time I actually builded anti missles on my ships hehe. I am loving this expansion and hey it is still beta ;)
