If you want a fun physiological game, play Penumbra Tech Demo. http://frictionalgames.com/penumbradownload/ It's not very long, made me stop playing several times through. It did so well the devs (Frictional Games) decided to make a commercial version of it; Penumbra Overture (episode 1) and Penumbra Black Plague (episode 2)

Reply to Pushing SOASE to becoming a 4X game in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

You know, [size="2"]if you slowly made the[/size][size="1"] text smaller and smaller; no one would notice.[/size] But keep in mind, most of the features that you listed work great in 4x games where you have ALOT of time. Sins is in real time, and the player's attention is already spread out enough.

I'm not popular with the AI :( in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Not even the AI likes me :( The AI seemed to have a strategy going on; Take out the repair bays and Fighter bays. When they first attacked me, they sent their entire fleet in to do this (at the time it was just light blue) I than started targeting his cap ship and he fled. I tried rebuilding the repair bays but their fighters raped me. Finally got some flackers in and that gave me enough cushion room to make some. From what I was seeing, it appeared t

Reply to 1.03 AI Gangs up on humans in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The thing is, the AI realizes it can't win and that's why it retreats. If you tell it "Here's some pills, and trust me you'll win this battle!" it'll end up losing pretty badly, but laughing the whole time through. The AI has much much better management skills; it sometimes doesn't have the greatest fleet.

Reply to No Campaign at all??? WTH in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The devs were extremly rushed finishing this game up before it was released; adding a storyline would take alot of valuable time. One thing I want in the storyline though: Holding onto a 10-20 planet star, while enemy ships are arriving on all the outside planets and heading inward (kind of like how pirate invaders appear out of nowhere on their planet) Survive for 20 minutes or something like that.

Reply to Where is the vastly improved AI? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It's MUCH MUCH easier to program an AI for 4x games than an RTS game (yes, sins takes place in real time so it's considered RTS in major aspects) I've created a small one for one of my wc3 games where you try to trap a black-dot (AI) that moves around on a checkerboard. The players objective is to capture the black dot and make it impossible to move. The AI was pretty basic (only looked outward 5 spaces) but was difficult to trap it. In realtime though, it's much much h

Reply to Packaging Issue in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Orignal Poster; the world does not resolve around you. There are not teams of men making sure every package contains everything inside of it. There is not a special service dedicated to making sure everything is supposed to be as it should. Mistakes happen.
