I let my first tests run for a half hour to an hour long, and my first measurement wasn't till 5 minutes, and then every 5 minutes thereafter. And I just used the end game stats.

Devs, Thanks for trying to fix the Replay graphical glitch, as mentioned in the Beta2 changelog : "Shifted down the Victory Tree area when playing back a recorded game to prevent overlapping." But now (0.76) I see that if I watch a replay with Occupation & Flagship Victory conditions on, the Replay clock still overlaps the victory tree (1600x1200 Windowed mode, full screen, rather than

I'm bumping these excellent replays because they will likely be unplayable after the next update/patch comes out (early next week?). So Noobz get em before its too late. A ton of good stuff here, that won't last. But also keep in mind, that some of these strategies (like the current corvette spam) will likely change according to upcoming nerfs (& buffs).

Reply to How does culture work? in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote]1. Advent are supposed to be the main "culture" faction, what does that exactly mean? Is their culture actually stronger, always pushing the TEC/Vasari one, or its more about having the cultural upgrades/buildings sooner and cheaper? If i play for Vasari, max my culture research and build same number of those media hubs as the Advent Player (with maxed culture himself) on the adjacent planet, will it be a cultural "tie" or will his culture steamroll mine anyway, as its s

Plz make new (Confluence) Culture Spread Noticeable! in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

I honestly can't tell if (0.76) culture is spreading any faster (or farther) after researching the Tier 2 civil techs to improve its spread speed by 5, 10, 20, 30%! Is there some way to verify the improvements quanitifiablely? Perhaps an info card note I'm missing? Since Domination (by culture) is the Advent Loyalist's primary theme, I would suggest radically improving the T2 Confluence tech so there is a notable change to culture compared t

Thank you Pbhead, for the Replays. Devs, the Pro 5v5 replay is worth watching for balance considerations.

[quote who="MrHaze" reply="1" id="3125260"]With regards to #6, the bonus is coming from an Advent t2 harmony research called Communal Labour. This ability used to function by allowing construction drones to cooperate and build a single structure faster, but at some point it was changed to give a flat %age bonus to structure build time per contructor in the well. I believe the rate is 16% per constructor, so on planets where you have 4 or so, it can become quite scary just how quickl

OK. Its clearly a programming bug. That should be fixed IMO. Like I said in the OP, I've tried several unlocked games, some with the Allied Victory setting on, some with it off.
