I know it is not going to happen but have to write it down nevertheless... More MP game modes next to existing Conquest one... Modes that would focus on solid MP experience and rounds that would finish within cca 45 minutes game play brackets... :p

Reply to Living in Windows 7: Part 1 in Personal Computing Sins Forums

:) Sorry, but your post just made me stay away from Windoz even more... I am also sorry if my post offended you since that was not my intention. I was Win user for 10 solid years until 2 years ago when another company "persuaded" me that stuff can work as well as look much better than what I was used to... I will have no problem switching back to Win when Microsoft manage to "persuade" me that it is the right thing to do... And somehow, I

Nephs Beta 2 Feedback - Part 2 in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

System specs: MacBook Pro, XP via bootcamp, 4Gb ram, 8600GT 256Mb gfx card PART 2 So, in last few days I went and tested Entrenchment bit more... After saving my 2.5 hours long SP game on smallest possible map (quick strike - see Part 1 below) I decided to take Entrenchment online and test it there for a change... Usual

Reply to Living in Windows 7: Part 1 in Personal Computing Sins Forums

It all looks nice and fine but I hope you wont mind me being frank... 1. I remember number of similar "wow great" threads / sites / blogs during Vista beta and at the end it turned out to be pile of crap 2. So far what I read about Win 7 it feels like nothing else but "Vista patch" which is good news for sure but nothing to get me remotely excited... 3. Again, so far, I haven't read anything about fundamental redesigns to OS meaning that most probably we

Reply to Reinstalling Sins in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="2037552"] I'm hoping this is just for the beta It is just for the beta, there was a notice on it when it was released. The full release of Entrenchment is supposed to allow you to switch at will between it and Vanilla.[/quote] Oh cool! This is one of the biggest pains for me at the moment... As long as final version allow us to switch between the two its all fine :)

Reply to Running both standard and beta? in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

As per what EadTaes said... But I find this to be rather lame to be honest... Cant we have 2 separate .exe files and let Impulse take care of both!?!?! Or anything else really that isn't this rather primitive and tedious work of installing / reinstalling / copy / pasting rubbish :s

One, perhaps stupid question... When 1.13 gets out, us who got Entrenchment installed, can relax and ignore it or what!? Far as I remember Entrenchment overwrites original Sins... Also, what is general idea on compatibility between the two? For example, if I want to play with guy who hasn't got Entrenchment I need to make copy of original Sins and boot from there or Entrenchment will eventually be "clever" enough to automatically recognise who is who and what i

All sounds awesome! :) Saying that, I am still not convinced with the mines changes... cant say for sure without trying it first hand but numbers of it still read way too high for me liking... Anyway, lets test it out when beta rolls out :) Bring it!

Reply to Sins Ladder (Yes, really) in Multiplayer Organizer Sins Forums

Your site has potential - sure... But game hasn't unfortunately... Not until it is tweaked and "expanded" with competitive game modes which most probably is never going to happen :s You can all forget about competitive games as long as single round could potentially last for hours... Once we get at least single game mode which guaranties end result within 45 minutes or less - we can talk about real online presence and ladders... Till then just relax and enjoy t

[quote who="Valkajin" reply="14" id="2037002"]Take out the mines?...No. That would be as pointless as leaving them as is. There would only be one addition to the game from Entrenchment..starbases. hmmm for 10 dollars?... When the mines are fixed they will work as intended. Although, the main mine problem I feel should be addressed is giveing players the ability to place them specifically as computer opponents can do to us. Along with preventing the AI from fillin

Reply to Entrenchment Update in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Yeah MINES... As I said in couple of beta feedback posts - just remove them... Honestly... Yes, it would be cool to have mines in the game, but this will be near impossible to achieve without breaking or at least compromising on what Sins is all about... Call me sceptic if you wish or whatever but I vote for complete removal and proper balance of the rest :)

Reply to Mines are overpowered in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Mines are simply shit... I have to be frank about this since I love this game so much... Currently, as they are, they simply resemble pile of steaming excrement and not much more than that. Mines need some MAJOR rethinking and if that fails they simply need to be removed... If anything kills this game it will be MINES by blowing right into our gaming faces via ruined yet once fantastic game called Sins of a Solar Empire! Quote me on this if you wish :p<

Reply to Entrenchment - Will it make games even longer??? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Few days into Beta so I think it is good time to resurrect this thread and put it back on topic with simple question to all of you testers... How do you find it so far? Does it indeed look like games might take longer (or even much longer!) with latest additions to the game? Personally, I had only one 2v2 30 planets MP game last night which lasted for well over 3 hours and ended up with mini dump - was great fun no doubt about it - however how about this time issue???
