Reply to Sins of a Solar Empire Is Inspired (And Inspiring) in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

You forgot: 1. Sins of the Solar Empire wasn't just the first game. It INVENTED the word game. 2. Sins didn't just create online. Sins is Al Gore. 3. Sins of a Solar Empire created religion. If you don't believe me, ask Jesus Sins. 4. Sins of a Solar Empire is not just a game, it's a lifestyle. Whenever you pay your taxes or go to church, Sins is all around you. No one can be told what Sins really is, you must play it yourself. 5. Sins is your father, luke.

[quote]I love Sins overall except in Pax Imperia 2 (which was the PC version after MAC did PAX1 it was WAY BETTER in the star systems and planets overall. SINS needs some trimming to do on how their memory usage works. As it stands the CPU and graphics cards are getting overloaded due to all zoom lengths being processed at the same time. I kinda found the way points between planets kinda silly since in general "warp" has always been between stars in EVERY game and show not planets inside one sol

Hum, all these would definately help with a strategy game, and wouldn't be like some kind of Sims 2 excpansion where they add a few new objects... (With the one exception to that being SIms 2 Seasons, which was a decent expansion). I'll wait and see how Twilight is, then maybe buy all 3. If not, Gold.

You'd probably call me old, or at least, kids do to a 28 year old... But I've played strategy games since I got my first pc, a Tandy 1000 tl. I still remember my first strategy games on it, Populous (See if anyone remembers that, by a certain Peter Molyneux), and Sim City 1. I'm not new to strategy, but I am new to GalCiv2. Keep this all in mind and explain in a way a person not new to strategy but new to GalCiv2 would understand the differences.

My point wasn't if GalCiv2 was better, I've tried the demo. What makes Dark Avatar so much better then Dread Lords? I don't bother with an expansion unless I love the game, as in the case with Titan Quest or Sims 2... I'd probably love GalCiv2, but what do the expansions bring to the table?

Reply to how many unrealistic technologies can you list in Off-Topic Stardock Forums

Sorry, but when you base advances on what we currently have (Which your doing), and try to base that on the future, you PHAIL. Go back in time 100 years. How many would be like you on computers, cars, cell phones? Go back and tell them that metal that can compute advanced mathemtics would rule the world. How many would think your crazy and lock you up?

Reply to Quality vs. Quantity in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Ah, some kind of long range vessel. Sounds like a few/1 extra and extra damage would help you immensly. You'd have a good short range and long range. The thing one must remember in war is balance. A balanced army will defeat a unbalanced one any day of the week. Balancing includes everything from attacks to how people feel.
