I used to play Elemental... But then I took an arrow to the knee. I get the feeling if I play this game I will take an arrow somewhere else... [e digicons]:X[/e] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e] All joking aside I also agree with the "no need to rush" take your time, and delay when necessary.
I disagree with Frogboy's statement that if Fallen Enchantress fails that stardock cannot make great PC games. You still have SINS(Which seems wildly successful and its two expansions) and you have SINS Rebellion coming up and its promising to look very awesome. You also have the Galactic Civ games as well which are still doing well after a long period of time.

I was spoiled... I got the scrambled Spice channel when I was 12 LOL nice thing was the picture would come in fairly clear too. Ah those were the glory days.
[quote who="Satrhan" reply="17" id="3039327"]Giant scorpions would be very impractical as mounts. With other animals, you are pretty safe from their attacks should the become unruly. A scorpion could just stick you with it's stinger. But maybe being able to use their pincers and stinger in battle make up for the risks. Does anyone know, are scorpions especially strong, fast, or mobile for their size? [/quote] It depends on the species of scorpion. The smaller ones as a rule a
Yay for spider riders, this was one of the units I had been begging for back in the Alpha days of Elemental. Now all we need are giant scorpions/scorpion riders and my dreams will be complete.
I lurk here frequently, but really there is very little for me to say so I am not as active as I used to be. :)
Single player for the win! I never ever play multiplayer. Because I simply cannot play the way I want to against other people. As for a super weapon cap I agree, I have had games where the AI spammed them, and holding onto a planet is tricky without the starbase enforced loyalty upgrade.
[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="21" id="3029111"]I don't think anyone wants trade to be nerfed into oblivion, but it is out of control, especially for larger empires... Because sins does not have things like "resources", a trade port anywhere is still a trade port...would adding things like "resources" make sins more interesting? Probably....though how it would be implemented I'm not so sure... I would point out that refineries are "limited"

I know how the devs can improve multiplayer.... Get rid of it all together.
I am unsure if I like trade being nerfed, mainly due to the fact empires have risen, and fallen due to trade, it should be a strategic option and worth the investment. For example lets say I get really valuable resource on a planet, Spice for example, the trade bonuses should be rather huge due to its qualities (Think Dune) I can understand a slight nerf to trade ports that have no special resources to trade,(Or on a backwater planet with nothing of value) but over all shoul
Dont forget that not everyone plays multiplayer... I for one do not.
What makes me not want to buy this game is the fact that one of my favorite characters is not coming back and the fact a character I absolutely cannot stand is the zerg leader. Thats right I want the overmind to come back and that filthy kerrigan to be killed off.
So do those of us who have all three games get trinity for free on our steam accounts? Or whats the deal? Wil my other SD games also start showing up on steam? Well I just figured out how to add my SD titles to steam, it will be cool to see them become fully supported steam games in the future.
Their enemy is their women, not once in the game had we heard from a female of their species, I guess they got tired of their men running around playing war all the time!
Oh let me have my fun :p
I call copyright infringement! It looks like Tyber Zann's Aggressor class destroyer. [e digicons]}:)[/e]
None of those maps have any interesting triggers or victory conditions though, for example the guardians at the gates or something similar there were none and the planets were average, nothing special....
When the Americans rebelled they had to fight the British empire with whatever resources and forces that were willing to help their cause. In sins rebellion it should be like that, if you research a tech that causes you to rebel your empire that you had founded should then turn against you with the exception of a few planets and ships. You then have to fight an uphill battle against your former empire plus whom ever else is out there. For example lets say you have 50 planets under you
Well so who do you fight against then, it seems silly that your entire empire(you) can choose to rebel. Obviously some should remain loyal to the main faction. The point of a rebellion is to fight for your freedom, if you have a near galaxy wide empire and then decide to rebel that entire empire should not suddenly just switch sides to the rebels.
Will rebel factions start the game like everyone else or will they each break off of their respective empires after a certain period of time? To me I would prefer if the rebel sides started later in the game after you have an empire, since they should naturally have to fight to break away from their parent faction rather than start "free"
[quote who="boshimi336" reply="12" id="2997324"]That looks oddly like a TEC trade ship with a black sheet over it ... with the word 'Censored' on it ... explain yourself! [/quote] Well due to the Advent's subtle sexual innuendo when it comes to certain ships and names the TEC has decided to create their titan in the form of a giant phallus and naming it "The Titan" to counter the new advent tactic and hopefully awe them as well :p Currently in the Advent ther
LOL I love it, though there must be a more "humane" way of dealing with unrest as well? Gotta have both "good cop" and "bad cop" approaches.
Holy thread necromancy batman! But since I am here I will just add that the Xenomorph deserves a spot in the top ten.
How about some "celebrity gossip". Whats Ceresa's favorite color? Does she have any hobbies? Does she actually love her husband? Is she a closet perv? Come on man where is the dirt! We need more background info on our main champions than we currently have in EWOM. Also; It will be horrible and give you cancer
[quote who="sdsmt05" reply="3" id="2990547"]Yes I was pretty buzzed when I posted the pic... Just giving some love to the guys at Stardock. And hopefully they will recognize I had the LE so I get FE for free lol. EDIT: And I did preorder the LD edition while I was employed at GameStop... I was the only one in Minnesota that pre-ordered it. [/quote] Dont get too cocky... I likely ordered it before you did :p And I am in MN too! :D
