[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="35" id="3428070"] Quoting Yarlen, reply 31Re: difficulty levels - the nice thing about Sins is that you can set the AI level for each player. I would suggest not being masochistic and when you're ready to increase your challenge, just put 1-2 players at Unfair (or whatever). You seem to be getting the idea that unfair is somehow too difficult for us, and that simply isn't the case...I am relaying a complaint that I have heard from

[quote who="WOEaintME" reply="32" id="3427989"] Is anybody else mini dumping nearly every game? I'm playing medium maps with 5 AI and every game I mini dump after a half hour or so. Been lowering settings each play which seems to only prolong the inevitable.[/quote] I havent got any mini dumps, I installed the new beta the other day, have everything set to highest, 6 players no issues.

I suppose I am looking to see why it stated that there is a large base of people who finish a game within one hour. Know I have kids and I have to pause oh, every five minutes however, I think I haven't ever finished a game in under an hour. Although I take planets for myself and build up. The AI still places a very good fight if over 2 AIs on unfair or above. I am trying to see who can beat 2+ AIs on vicious without cheating under an hour with more than 25 planets

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="14" id="3427519"] Quoting Yarlen, reply 12Basically it wasn't normalized before. Now it is. Considering the number of folks who are able to routinely beat the toughest AI in under an hour, it's fine. I wasn't aware your mainstream SP audience was routinely winning on vicious -- and with ease, so perhaps my suggestion is a little too narrow and niche... Nevertheless, I'm not concerned with vicious, I'm concern

Quoting mikefacciola, reply 933 Ive noticed on huge fieldoms the AI wont leave there system. 10 AI all on hard -1 hour into the game AI is twiddling his thumbs or looking for the anchor switch on its ships. This is another problem me and my friends experienced while playing last week. We were in a huge multi random and all the 7 other AI's where sitting in their own solar systems waiting for godot. My friend who was playing Vasari and was unable to join our alliance

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="942" id="3426148"] Quoting mikefacciola, reply 939 How do i capture an occupation center? You don't. That is the Vasari Command Center, which they use to deploy their heroes. As long as you control the planet, it will be unable to spawn any heroes, and your units should leave it alone.

[quote who="Lavo_2" reply="940" id="3426142"] Quoting GoaFan77, reply 937Huh, I often test the mod on Medium-Large Fiefdoms and the AI attacks other solar systems. Maybe you need to explicitly set them to aggressive or something on the fiefdom maps, as without other players in the solar systems maybe some AI types won't care to attack. I've found the AI isn't that great at jumping between systems, but I have seen then use wormholes decently. Ironically I&#39

[quote who="Jsmith24680" reply="46" id="3425690"] Oops hit post too soon on that last one. I get an error that simply says sins has stopped working. I have to tab out and close the error box then Sins shuts down and I can run it again normally. I placed the Mode folder in my Rebellion 1.80 folder (directly from the zip). I'm using DS Alpha 0.13[/quote] http://www.ricksgalaxy.co
