Quick question: Is Sins :Trinity a stand alone? Or does it require the base/orignal game? in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Hi, GC2 player from a while ago. I'm a TBSer, not really a RTSer, but there's a sale for Trinity, and I thought I'd give it a try. (I'm at work and unable access game sites, so I can't view system requirements) Thanks!

[quote who="MutantDwarf" reply="68" id="3330916"] Pretty sure it's just the melee units that are moved closer - ranged units still spawn farther away.[/quote] That's true, but at least according to Brad in the video, the ranged units start just a couple tiles farther away from the melee units. It just doesn't seem quite far enough.

Reply to Legendary Heroes - Pre-Beta video in Elemental Dev Journals Stardock Forums

Another thought. In the demo, the player and AI start closer together. Much closer... I like the idea of not having to take several turns to get from one end of the battlefield to the next, effectively reducing the OP of archers and mages, but this new set up seems to go completely in the other direction, turning the ranged units into "no shot or one shot ponies" before the get hacked to pieces by the AI opponent. My suggestion to re-balance this issue, is to increase their ba

[quote who="GFireflyE" reply="63" id="3330638"] apparently lots of undead monsters have been added. [/quote] Ok, thanks, I remember that. Personally, I would rather have a variety of monsters, instead of all from one class/type. With all those undead, I hope they include a "turn undead" spell. Probably would work best as part of life magic.

Reply to Champion perma-death idea in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

People under 35 have never been exposed to the "3 chances/lives and your dead" from the 80's arcade era. They've grown up with games where you just loose points when beaten, but your character/avatar never actually dies, so they just can't wrap their heads around the concept of perma-death.

So really, the biggest gameplay changes are the swarm mechanic, how heros are obtained, and greater control over the sovereign's leveling up path? Has any content been included? New monsters, quests, magic items, etc?

On a related note, I built a custom sovereign and set him up as one of my AI opponents. Very early game, I encountered him, went to war, and when he surrendered, I viewed his item list. He had quite a few magic items in his possession that he couldn't have gotten so quickly.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="26" id="3328180"] I think Soren's amazing talents would be wasted if he was spending his time creating running balance sheets, doing revenue projections, writing contracts, negotiating distribution licenses and attending meetings.

At what point do you start over? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

So, I settled my first city, got a hero, and started searching for a new spot, and searching, and searching. I come across three factions, all with power ratings at least double mine. It was about the first 20 turns. At that point, I just started a new game. How about you?

Reply to The amount of units in the end game is too many, it's annoying. in Fallen Enchantress Stardock Forums

The solution is to kill all of the AI opponents early in the game, before tons of units are swarming the map. As time goes on and a faction grows, so will the number of units it has. that's just a normal course of events/progression. Limiting the number of units is not the right solution.
