There have been many wild videos out there, but this one really captures the earlier build up exceptionally well. Check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxSGcp3Ku_8
Most of the time, when you get the rejected message it just means a game is already in progress. The problem is...too many games are in progress compared to the number being set up.
hehehe...the SINS hotline for girlfriends and wives will be up next week.
SINS talk starts at about 6:10
Game Almighty just posted a glowing review and editorial: http://www.gamealmighty.com/game-review/review/Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire/
Choose a small map or make your own tiny map and dont forget these settings:

The most amusing thing is, 5 Ironclad members are originally from Nova Scotia. :)
Also keep in mind that game that are active will give you that message as well, so it has nothing to do with you.
hehe...cool. Thanks for the post :)
They both have interesting gameplay effects during battle, but I'm not going to be the one to give these secrets away :) Lets see who can figure these both out :D
I know what you mean XogtheSinner. Sometimes it can take you by surprise when you are on the first page and you're wondering to yourself, "why would they put that there?" In fact if you look around, there tends to be slightly more negativity here than just about any other non-official SINS forum. I guess some people feel we'll listen more in here :P
You are not only destroying a structure, you are destroying the knowledge base, scientific instruments, blueprints/prototypes, infrastruture, and scientists/technicians that maintain and understand the complexities of a given technology.
I feel for you Lennaertdejoing :( I've visited a lot of those German sites dedicated to SINS. I'ts a shame the enthusiasm isn't recognized by distributers just yet.
Thanks Cheeze! Great to hear the enthusiasm so soo :) [quote]I'm sure its a lot of them, [/quote] You would be surprised ;)
[quote]This game can easily be marketed as RTS title for a simple reason to appeal to more people out there since if its marketed as RT4X most would be confused and would be put off...[/quote] You pretty much have it right there.

Create a smaller map with these settings next game:
You defintely want to dock when you are vastly outnumbered with Flak frigates and you dont want to lose you ships unecessarily.
Advent Carriers can carry far more strikecraft then TEC and Vasari when maxed out. The rough roles of capital ships are divided between the 5 per race, but they are completely different.
