For starters, The hard AI is allways going to have a resource boost (it has a multiplier I just don't remember what it is). If thier is more than one AI they are allways going to gang up on you. Get used to it on the harder settings, the AI can make alliances with each other REALY fast. You can try to get to about %45 and then spam cease fire agreements with a faction on the diplomacy menu. Then a few questions. Are you just spamming nothing but Javel

To bad you don't have the option of setting up preset victory conditions. But in a game where its down to the last man standing you can't declare yourself victor untill one of two conditions is met. 1. Wipe him off the map. 2. Have him foreit. I actualy would applaud Newt for sticking it out to the bitter end. Don't like it? Well don't play him again.

Reply to Hard AI receiving unfair credit boost? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I do belive that is intentional, I have played a few hard AI (not more than a couple on the same map at one time) and allways found them to have much better income than I could ever have. I played one massive 4 star map over the course of a couple of days and found the hard AI I defeated "early" (realitive to rest of the campaign) still ranked 2nd in fleet size and credit income (I barely edged him out by a few thousand credits). They are still defeatable

Reply to Feature I Would Like To See in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As much as I like ramdom events, to many can break a game and rob any skill requirements in order to win. Mario Kart Wii, Super Smash Bros Brawl are good examples of complete ramdom chaos changing everything so regardless of skill level or tactics used, You can end up losing. But those are designed for that and are fun because of it. A stratagey oriented game like Sins probably would't do so well. One thing I do want is stronger pirates. I agree that the

Reply to TEC seige firgate idea in Strategy Sins Forums

Turning on and off the ability seems like a much better idea rather than just a constantly on passive one. On a second note, how about giving colony ships radation scrubbing abilities? Everyone could have them and it would only work if the colony ship was a certain distance away from the world.

Yeah I should have said "alot of people wouldn't want" not everyone.

I've linked an artice posted by David Wong from Cracked.com Altho it is a humor artice I found that it drove home a very interesting point with the #1 Forcing everyone who logs in to have a PIN number seems very possible and could put an end to alot of piracy on the web. Frogboy has posted a few threads about piracy and what would be viable copyright protection. It looks like the best is something nobody would want.

I don't remember PC games being more expensive than console games, but getting PC games can end up costing more if you need to get a new computer every few months. But I do remember PC games allways being better than console games (not just in graphics). I'm talking inovation, interface, mods. It just seemed that games evolved as fast as the computers did.

I would like to see a conversion option for scout ships. They allready kinda of do it, but I would like to see them take on a more serious role in sabatoge/espionage. They just don't do it right as they are now. The way I would change them is to give them a jamming signal that reduces thier chance to be hit by a %. They don't have to turn invisible, phase shift or anything fancy. They just need to last long enough to actualy do something before getting shot down by e

It's usualy based on the situation for me, No matter what I almost allways wind up starting next to volcanic or ice worlds as my neighbors. So I'm almost allways going down the civilian tree to pick up the colonize first. I then go for the ships and orbital defense next. Then I usualy pick up the mid and higher tiers out of all the other trees at about the same time. As for telling you which tree to get first, Well I say base it on what your needs&n
