[quote who="Timmaigh" reply="22" id="3372370"]If you read the OP, the complaint was about AI firing its superweapons, when he is just on tech level 4. Again, that has fuck all to do with AI being smart, it is down to AI having money to burn and being programmed to go for superweapons. Thats why it can field them so soon.

[quote]How do the Titans and corvettes influence gameplay? How is game balance between the factions? Was there an influx of new multiplayer talent from the Steam release? What happened with multiplayer, is it still all 5v5s, or are there more smaller games than there used to be? [/quote] Titans are good addition to middle and late game, and there were some nice balancings too, though Tec Loyalist titan is still inferior, and Vasari ones are still better than the others.
[quote who="ARESIV" reply="14" id="3372043"]Seriously... if you are brand new to a game you never played before.... you choose easy as an AI..... so that you can learn without being steamrolled within minutes.[/quote] QFT, everyone starts on lowest level AI if they are completely new to a game.. It is logical.......
[quote who="ARESIV" reply="19" id="3372024"]It also seems to make more use of defensive structures, especially Starbases, which it does rebuild rather quickly when destroyed.[/quote] False in one case. If your AI ALLY is Vasari prepare for a defeat. Vasari AI if it's your ally never builds a starbase and it is disappointing to lose 2v2 because of this. Talking about hard and unfair. Though seen this only in few

But I think it will turn out that no faction could leave before the enemy arrived, maybe the nemesis put up some jump inhibitors (these are alien tech, not from the 3 original races) so noone can leave and they are forced to fight, so Sins 2 will not lose many factions..

Lying is not a useless thing, though recently it became a strong habit of everyone, even if you think of girls using tons of make-up and paying for plastic surgeries... Just to alter reality. Isn't this a lie too? And sometimes small lies make you progress in life (though not big ones, that will surely cause trouble sooner or later). Nowadays everything is about lying, politics, economy, school (in our country many students use cheating to get better grades though I hear it is not a habit
[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="8" id="3371487"]Galaxy Forge solves all this[/quote] most players dont know how to use that program, like me.. I tried but failed and gave up (yes, I wasnt even trying hard, because I did not want to spend hours figuring out what to do and how...), so an inbuilt function to decide who starts where would be good for most players I think..
Vasari.. Vasari fleet is best with full upgrades and you can sit behind your orkuli to build up well, both Loyalist and Rebel is good for your criteria. Old game, maybe Vasari is still good for this, though you don't have the Orkulus stabase there to protect you... Or Advent (Loyalist in Rebellion) with Iconus Guardians and lots of bombers and illuminators or heavy cruisers and of course your Coronata leading them along with some nice capital ships for synergy.
[quote who="-Ue_Carbon" reply="5" id="3371403"]I assume the reason its not standard in the game lobby is due to the nature of Random Maps.
