Christ, it's been a while since I've checked in on this mod. How's everything coming along? Is it compatible with Diplomacy? You guys do good work. Keep it up.

The total war games do retreating from battles really well. You do sometimes have to do counterinsurgency to mop up armies that you shattered but didn't completely exterminate, but this doesn't hurt the game too much. A few notes: 1. This helps promote combined arms! Light cavalry become essential to making sure that you ONLY have to fight an army once. 2. It allows you, the player, to make daring comebacks. 3. If you win by a certain margin, the

I actually really like the orchestral arrangement of the Vasari music. The dissonance and pizzicato in the strings works well to set up a spooky feel. Also, this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc5mHwnSmHE

More epic standins you've found for the Sins music. I just got back from a summer at the Tanglewood institute, so I've had the Boston Symphony literally down the road from me, and I picked up some good tunes... I'll start, with Night on Bald Mountain http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0h6H_vcSKc What are yours? Speak to me, forums!

Reply to Custom Ship Styles in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Thanks so much! So, if at the start of a game I'm using a custom ship style, the ships will automatically have their functional components on them? As in, my initial colony ship will have engines and everything and not just be a hull? And is there any way to make styles that the AI will use as well?

Reply to Small GalCiv II updates? in GalCiv Journals GalCiv2 Forums

Um...this would be amazing? How big would these tweaks be? 1: Somewhere, explain the creation of custom ship styles. The system right now is very vague. 2: Fix the alignment issues with lots of ship components. this would make a HUGE difference, as lots of great hulls and components have really weird alignment or symmetry issues with their components that make it hard to use them well.

Custom Ship Styles in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hey guys, I've been trying to make a custom ship style on GalCiv2, but the process is a bit confusing. When should I add functional components to each ship? Should I do that on the ship designer screen, or will I be able to do that after I hit "create custom ship style?" Help is especially welcome from people who have made their own custom ship styles. Thanks a ton

Minidumps? in Technical Sins Forums

I got Entrenchment a couple of days ago. I'd already logged a game as TEC, and I was about seven hours into a game as the Vasari that had been going on over the course of about three days. I had no trouble up to this point, no crashes, no nothing. Today, three minidumps, happening in more rapid succession after loading the game. What's happening? How do I prevent this in the future?

Fighters look rad. Textures are great (though will undoubtedly be greater!). Models are fantastic. Can't wait for release!

Complex mod is basically HW2 with a crapload of awesome goodies tacked on...including mining bases, salvagable debris, more ships, and lots and lots of gimmicky but fun gameplay mechanics (apparently they're adding planet management...I'm kind of skeptical, but we'll see how that goes...) Edit: Oh, and HW3 will be the best thing since molecular oxygen XD

Reply to did you love homeworld/homeworld 2?? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Homeworld 2 with the complex mod is all I play nowadays. That and GalCivII, but HW2 is something special, and the Complex mod makes it incredible.

Reply to Battlefleet Gothic in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Quick question: for the Tau, is there going to be any distinction between the Kor'Vattra (earlier) fleets and the Kor'or'vesh (later) fleets? Because the later ones seem to be ALOT better than the ones presented by teh BFG rules.

Speaking of which, an Ark Mechanicus (go to the BFG website and look at the Adeptus Mechanicus rules for more info) would be a good superweapon for the Imperials. Plus, the Machine Cult could be a faction unto themselves, what with the l33t models and free lance batteries and all.
