Reply to Impulse install, all GalCiv2 products fail at startup in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

My apologies for the double post, but the problem seems to have fixed itself. After uninstalling then reinstalling each part then testing it to see if it worked they seem to all be working perfectly now. I think I installed them too quickly before while doing other things in the background, so I could have interrupted the installation, as well as pausing the download several times which may have corrupted some files. Sorry for the hassle, but I'm just really glad that I can play this wo

Impulse install, all GalCiv2 products fail at startup in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

I just recently finished installed GalCiv2, DA and ToA through Impulse, and upon running ToA it gives me the opening cutscene and then crashes straight afterwards. I read online and tried the "SkipIntro = 1" idea, and that just makes it crash even faster. I then used Impulse to verify the install for ToA, and it came up clean. After that I decided to try DA, which promptly asked me to load my CD and run the setup.exe to fix a problem (Note: I installed this through Impulse, so a CD is

No offence, but I don't think DotA would suit Sins, and needless to say it would be impossible (In my opinion) to do anything like it.

Haha, nice reference to Danman, I'm sure your support will mean a lot to him. As for your comment, it's better if Danman handles it away from the dev team then he can work on it towards his own ends, rather than having a team of people pick over it and remove his creativity that so many people enjoy.

Reply to SoaSE in Starcraft terms in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

First off, never quote a website where anyone can change the facts. Secondly, no one said Starcraft wasn't revolutionary or anything, it's just better to judge a game based on what it's got, not how similar it is to something else.

I'd advise against posts like these, the Dev's do not need any pressure like this, it'll be out when they are convinced it's acceptable to show us. If we rush them then we will take time from them that they may need. Next time bite your arm or something instead of making a silly post like this.

Explaining culture is like proving God's existance, it measures up differently for everyone. :P

Exactly OctopusRex, why match a race up to a SC race to find your play style, each race doesn't have a defined strategy, it's always open for player interpretation.

Reply to 1.1 Predictions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

The only things I could possibly hope for would be: 1. New diplomacy options (Demands, threats and pleas for peace) 2. New pirates (Acting like a real AI with the raids on the side, rather than just pre-defined raids) and finally, 3. A reworking of the AI tactics (Aggressor can't stand a fight, Fortifier never builds enough defences, Economist never builds himself up enough and Researcher is always outclassed).

Reply to how to start a mission in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Go into the diplomacy menu at the top of the UI, all missions are automatically accepted and you can keep track of each in the mentioned menu. Just look for the player with the yellow flashing light beside their name, that means there is a new message from them to you that you haven't inspected yet.

Why does everyone compare Space RTS games to Starcraft, I mean, Hell, can't a game be judged on it's own merit rather than attempting to compare it to another.

Thanks a lot P5yy, that's the detail I needed.

Reply to expansion pack in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Despite everyone's request, I would not like to see new capital ships, instead one special capital ship per each race that would be the defined flagship for them. I would actually prefer to see the frigate and cruiser classes fleshed out a little bit more, at the moment it seems primarily based around just damage dealing, I would like to see a couple of classes more based around either subterfuge (I.E. Being able to disable defences for a brief amount of time, or triggering a small emp bomb in a

Reply to Set starting locations in Galaxy Forge in Technical Sins Forums

Whereabouts do I find them? And what should the values be at?

Set starting locations in Galaxy Forge in Technical Sins Forums

I'm having a small disagreement with the Galaxyforge tools, I set up a standard 5v5 map with each player being assigned a specific planet in either system, yet I cannot stop the tools from randomising the starting locations. It's quite annoying as I have set each planet's ownership to different players, then set "Is Homeplanet" to true, yet it shuffles the order of players, I have no idea what I am doing wrong, all suggestions are welcome.

That's strange, ah well. At least that's probably as close to a solution as I've got so far, :P

I was referring to the max capital ship discussion, thanks. Anyways, back to the main point of this topic (The AI retreating, in case you are not sure Carbon.), I recently discovered in the tactical management menu there is a "retreat" command which completely matches the actions of the AI, and I already know that it is possible to edit these abilities, but is it possible to remove them from every unit? This of course is the assumption that the AI uses this command, which is a small pos

No offence meant, but you've kinda derailed the point of this topic, though your discussion is valid, it's not really on what this is meant to be about.

Reply to Mod Request (First Timer) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Thanks for that reply Danman, I did actually look into your mod because I briefly read that you were trying to change the AI, but it looks like I need to wait a bit longer.

Reply to Mod Request (First Timer) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Nice one Derek, just got to wait for that I guess. :)

Reply to Mod Request (First Timer) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Derek, that would be a good subsitute for retreating, less speed and possibly an armour disadvantage. It's just annoying that you can only get the epic cinematic fleet battles with other players and the AI acts like a four year old child running from a wasp, humourous but annoying.

Reply to Mod Request (First Timer) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Carbon, there are a few mods that are attempting to raise it, and to quote from the 1.04 change logs. "-Fix bug where AI would retreat from his homeworld or last planet." So it is possibly at least for the Dev's to edit the AI scripting, yet maybe in the future they will release tools that will allow the players to edit the scripts, but they themselves have edited features which are related to what I would want.

Reply to Mod Request (First Timer) in Sins Modding Sins Forums

Any chance that you could elaborate? Can you not edit the AI with the current tools? (Although a recent patch, not sure which one 1.03 or 1.04 edited the AI scripting) Or is it hard coded that they need to retreat?
