Reply to Titan and new Capital Ship not grouped with other Capitals in Empire Tree in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

This is also problematic if you want to form fleets as titans are not automatically your lead ships. Even if you only have frigates, cruisers and a titan and select all, the best cruiser will be the lead ship.

Same issues with the Ragnarov. Even giving an attack order leads to the titan sitting around doing nothing quite a lot.

[quote who="ThreeLeafIvy" reply="19" id="3096703"]How will linking functionality between the original Sins games/Trinity and Rebellion work if the former was bought from Stardock/Impulse and the latter is on Steam?[/quote] Rebellion is an independent game that doesn't need any former Sins games/expansions to run.

Men of War: Assault Squad has a Skirmish mode where 1-4 (or more?) players can fight the AI on one of 15 skirmish maps. Granted you don't build a base it still comes down to strategy and tactics. Units are controlled individually but from what I understand the player with the least forces always get supplied first and you can and should gift units over the course of gameplay. It requires a lot of teamwork to conquer & hold against the AI and the more you advance the better are th

First and foremost: Clothmap battles. I expected it to be done already so people who play on clothmap only can play tactical battles. After that a better and diverse AI. I want to see how AI sovereigns really act as sovereign with own strategic style.

Not much need to design a unit. You just use a basic diplomat unit (like the Pioneer) that can be researched early on.

War can be stopped after some cities have been (re)conquered or you let the enemy live on with only a small realm. Second it should not be the case that everyone else goes to war with you immediately but that they are wary of your

I think a diplomatic modifier would be a good way to get the desired effect. I doesn't matter if the AI you are destroying is a friend or a foe with the other AI's. As soon as other nations witness how you completely obliterate another realm and its sovereign they witness your warlike nature and become more wary. This could be a modifier to the already existing diplomatic modifier about army strength. A large army of a peaceful country is far less scary than a large army of a sovereign who ha

[suggestion] cloth map tactical battles in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

As I have to play in cloth map modus at the moment on my laptop I have to auto-resolve every battle. I really like the cloth map as it is actually much more flavorful than most fantasy games represent the game world. I think there should be an option for cloth map combat which not only benefits people with old hardware but could really look great. So the options menu should have a checkbox "[ ] Force cloth map combat" Units should be represented like on the cloth map but with

Reply to A good multiplayer turn-based strategy game in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Fantasy Wars is a really difficult and deep turn based strategy game from what I heard you can only play it over lan in multiplayer (but that should do for you). Sword of the Stars is a really cool 4X game. Together with its expansion pack Born of Blood it still has an active multiplayer scene. The AI is pretty good but it is very combat oriented. But all the featured races are really unique which makes the game attractive for players with different p

Have a look at my Capital War mod in the downloads section. Its more or less what you need. The AI does nothing but building a cap maybe but it stays in its well. Frigate Factory is automatically replaced by a cap factory on every map (custom ones, too). Super abilities should be researchable (only Akkan is done so far). Caps are strenghtened to be able to fend of pirate raids, etc. As nobody was interested in it I abandoned working on it for month so I hope it works with the

What about the promised campaign? As for the three expansions I have no problem with it if the new stuff is worth $9.99 each time. At the moment it all sounds a bit vague to say anything about it. Are we able to skip expansions if we don't like them and just run expansion 2 for example? Expansion 1: I think Starbases only have a narrow use in Sins, especially in multiplayer games. I never wanted something like this in a game except for looking cool and such. If the starbase so

This will give you some hints. The AI's play anything but perfect but its still a good learning experience for beginners. Later on you can download and watch replays from real players.

Capital War mod (caps only) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Hi, the Capital War mod is based upon an idea from a thread somewhere on the multiplayer boards. My aim is to deliver a highly tactical and strtegical mod fleshed out for multiplayer to fight with capital ships only. The mod can be played on any normal sins map and the frigate factory is automatically replaced by the capital ship factory. The supply system has been changed along with several other balance changes to make up the missing frigates. You will however only be able

All the ideas about additional supply and additonal planet types are just too much to start with I think.

Reply to Testing the waters - Legend Of Galactic Heroes in Sins Modding Sins Forums

@Factions: I think it would be the best to just build the two factions first with structures and ships as a template. Then the subfactions each get their own research tree that makes them different. Example: The Empire faction has besides other vessels access to the defensive ship A and an attack cruiser B. In the sub-factions the aggressive subfaction has access to cruiser B from the beginning and can research good abilities for it but has to research vessel A to even use it.<

@Factions: As I suggested before I would split them, too. But tied to personalities to create some atmosphere. One is more aggressive one mor economic (read above). @Mechanics: Combining factories and repair/antimatter stations is a good idea. This should be really large structures that cost much in resources and slots and are very important. Instead of pirates they would be mercenaries that are relatively weak but i guess its better to remove them. As espionage and intrigues ar
