WHen the dilverance engine hits... it acts like you just placed like 5 culture centers on that planet.... after your culture neutalized the enemy culture, on that planet, it spreads to adjacent planets... and continues untill the effect wears off... at which point, the culture begins to retreat. fireing multiple engines at the same time MORE THAN DOUBLES the effect... 3 engines raise the culture rate to rediculous. 4, of course, to ludicrous speed... after 4

Reply to Critique my vasari start game strategy in Strategy Sins Forums

well, if your playing multiplayer... and there are many vasari on your team, this might be fine... if if you are the only vasari on your team... you need scouts... lots of scouts... because as your team's vasari, your job is to get and keep every single neutral you can. then your assalant spam should be used to rush the enemy... or if your in the pocket... place 2 or 3 on each neutal so that they cant take back the neutals by just sending a colony frig (or more scouts)

[quote who="InfiniteVoid" reply="10" id="2362289"]The Cielo probably would also have a portrait along the same lines as the Sova and Kol, since they are staffed entirely with experienced officers.

I just hate it when he complains "this is a soldiers job" I really like his "Engineeri

Reply to First time online - is this number of active games usual? in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

the best thing about multiplayer is this... people go online... see that there is not many players... and so they dont bother with multiplayer... and so they dont add to the number of people online, and so it looks like the number of willing players is smaller and so people go online... and see that there is not many players... in other words... at some point the situation will get to the point where no one plays multiplayer because no one plays multi

Reply to Pirates in Strategy Sins Forums

well, if your having issues... put bounty on the other players. are you playing vanilla or entrench? a single starbase can take on the worst of pirate raids (unless your playing a mod) a capital ship and 2 repair bays will take care preety much anything, depending on the capital ship... great way for it to gain a few levels. remember, you got 15 or so min before the first wave... so use that time. (remember, your first cap ships is free!)</

valt, make sure you enable the mod... just placing it in the right file doesnt quite do it. the enable mod bit is on the same panel as where you saw your checksum... so select it, hit enable mod, and hit apply. you know you have the mod on when you hear the awsome musics.

Reply to Victory Conditions in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

the forcing other empires to be vassle states is a nice idea. that one definately needs to be shown to ironclad... I mean... the reason that FFA games arent really popular (or 3v3v3 or 2v2v2v2 or whatever) is because... (expecially for lan games) you lose... your done, your gone... your bored while the rest of your friends play for the next 2-3 hours... If someone offers you vasselage... and you accept... you have to pay them a large tax, and cant fight them... but y

Reply to Diplomacy is "Final Expansion"? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I think they realized that...the game will be 2 years old when diplomacy comes out... which means prolly another year for the last... which, when compared to other companies... most games were done with the expansion packs by the end of year one (unless there is a stupid number of them, like in the sims), and were finishing up the sequel by year 3. (cept starcraft, but they are "special") I mean... january 2011: the expansion to the 2008 game of the year comes out... just doesnt quite

This is awsome. we should post a thread of what game modes the devs havent thought of yet. 1. even resources (all planets of the same time have exactly the same resource roids... in other words... you dont get a two roid ice, while your enemy gets a 4 roid ice. this would prolly be best implemented as a toggleable thing. may or may not include neutrals. 2. symetric random map... basicly... the game notes the number of players (it also notes i
