Reply to List of counters, please in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

If you're having trouble with the AI coming out on top, you're not building enough quanta up. By mid game, you should have a set of engineers devoted to nothing but spamming more and more generators, allowing you to upgrade constantly and drop ever increasingly expensive orbitals as needed. By the time you finish a large map, it shouldn't be surprising if you've ended up with 20-30 of them.

Build a couple scouts to take all the resource nodes, build up your metal fast, and don't build up your production. Stick with just the one factory, at most two armories. Most of your resources need to be going into static defenses. Even at the very beginning. From what I've seen, and I've gotten to where there's half a dozen dreads hitting me at the same time, the only way to survive long term is to get a Sentinel up fast on the east s

Reply to Probing force, what is it good for? in Ashes of the Singularity Sins Forums

Sentries aren't T2, so they wont do well against an Avatar, while Incursion has a Nemesis, so naturally it's better for that. Sentries are however extremely efficient, logistics wise, and can join battle groups. They have very high damage compared to Brutes, giving you a lot of power without being slowed down. I've seen the AI using them to speed up capture quite effectively.

Reply to Serious inherent fault with Substrate design in Ashes of the Singularity Sins Forums

One thing with the Substrate in their current design is that they can't scale up with a larger, longer game where you'll gain an edge by building up high level dreadnoughts. You really can't use a Savager over the long term with anything approaching the impact of the Prometheus, many of it's upgrades will have to go into repair to get all that hull back since that's it's primary survivability. The Retributor isn't much better, and even the Overmind is s

Reply to I gotta rant! in Life, the Universe and Everything AshesoftheSingularity Forums

I'm sorry, but little kids put all kinds of shit, including shit, into their mouths. Yes, infants and toddlers will actually eat shit on occasion, I myself was fortunate to only have an obsession with putting rocks, penny's and, at one point when I was three, a particularly tasting looking fly into my mouth, but there are somewhere north of three million actual shit eaters in the US, who at one point tried, or even took a liking to, the consumption of their own crap.

Reply to Space Funding or Not in Science & Tech Sins Forums

The most likely end for the Moon Shop is that someone went to prison for felony fraud. There's a guy who claims to own the whole solar system because he thinks he found a loophole(he didn't) in the UN charter that allows him to claim them, but he can't actually register his claims anywhere because no one even bothers to take him seriously. The UN didn't even bother to respond to his query. Con artists, lunatics, and strange but harmless people have been claim

Reply to Review of a unfinsihed game? in Ashes of the Singularity Sins Forums

When you live and die by your metacritic/steam review aggregate, spending twice as much money to get a 90 average instead of the mid 70's isn't a bad investment. You guys barely hit the top ten with Ashes, it's so not cool when it deserves to sell way better than it is. [quote]And Supreme Commander lost millions of dollars and GPG is gone. The days of the $20 million RTS game are long lo

Reply to Review of a unfinsihed game? in Ashes of the Singularity Sins Forums

I see only two problems with Ashes. One is minor, in regards to the current multiplayer based around quick games, and the other a rather significant gaping hole in peoples single player expectations. The campaign, in it's current form, is short, much too short, and utterly lacking in character due to the simple text interfacing, lack of choices, and any serious climax. Supreme Commander, since you keep using it for a comparison, had a fully voiced, three

Reply to Star Trek Mod in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Uh... Which Star Trek mod? At my last count, there are two released Trek mods for Rebellion, ours , and STA3 . If you're having trouble with downloading, the mod download may have corrupted, but it's probably just Moddb, there have been complaints about people getting corrupted downloads for a long time there. <
