Which version of SoaSE to buy?

from Sins Forums

Hi!  If it was just me, I'd just by SoaSE: Rebellion, but in my case, I'm purchasing it to play a LAN vs game with a friend who has SoaSE (but not Rebellion).  That being the case, do I need to buy Trinity in order to play vs games with him? Or will the game automatically "pare down" to the original if I buy Rebellion?

Thanks in advance for any help with this question!

Sadly Rebellion does not let you run earlier versions like Trinity does. So yes if playing with your friend is very important to you, I guess you'd have to go with trinity. Your friend is missing no less than 3 expansions though, so the best answer might be to wait for a Steam sale or something where you get Rebellion and your friend upgrades.

What GoaFan77 said is right, you'll need to have Trinity or earlier to play with them. I think the best course of action here is to buy your friend Rebellion and yourself Rebellion! If you subscribe to our Entertainment mailers, we occasionally send out coupons.
