Try Kiting the Titans into minefields, and turret range. I am surprised phase missiles aren't having much of an effect since advent are all about shields.

Reply to Armor Reduction From 0 Armor in Strategy Sins Forums

Not to mention the very fact that each sequential armor is worth less in a way works in your favor as well- Getting a bunch of armor means that the armor stripped from you by armor reducing effects is less valuable(since an armor subtraction always removes the most recently acquired points of armor first). IE: Going from 0 armor to -6 is a 43% incoming damage increase. Going from 4 armor to -2 is a 33% incoming damage increase. Going from 6 armor to 0

Reply to Wail of a Sacrifice Counter in Strategy Sins Forums

As I've said before Wail is probably overpowered(and frankly the Eradica probably is as well). That said, I maintain changes should be handled very carefully. The Advent Rebels are in a rather starnge place balance-wise. They don't really have a strong foundation built on a large number of useful tech so much as they have two absolute bombs which make them competitive. Under the surface they suffer from many of the same issues

Reply to Buffing The Advent Loyals in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

[quote who="Ekko_Tek" reply="15" id="3205051"]I was actually inspired by watching Nayru play Advent Loyalists in a few games where he starts with 1 mil-2 civ temples and gets culture temples up right away. This gives him the earlier culture bonuses and (increased allegiance and shield mitigation based if I remember right for Advent) helps prevent colonization in early scrabbles with nearby enemies. He actually de-colonized an enemy planet using culture allegiance drop within 15 minutes o

Reply to [Suggestion] Titan xp increases rebuild time. in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

Honestly I'd just like to see the Titan's period of vulnerability reduced and the risk of building a titan increased(greater consequences to building one and letting it die) perhaps something like: -increase amount of experience required for each level up by 50% -increase exp granted for killing enemy titans by 50% -reduce the damage of ranks 1 & 2 of non level titan AoE damage abilities(for examples Er

The Coronata, Gaining Experience, and Mind control in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It's well known that the Coronata is regarded as one of the weaker titans at present. One major contributer is simply that it levels up much slower then most other titans. This is of course in part to be expected, as it's the only titan in the game with no form of AoE damage, which is largely unavoidable at this point. But that's not the only reason the Coronata levels slowly- Subjugating Assault, by stealing enemy ships also denies the Coronata food even in a

Reply to Debris Vortex and Frontal Deflector Shield in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Cataclysm2000" reply="7" id="2202375"] Quoting JuleTron, reply 5 I think it's 100% for level 1 and 200% for level 2. How does Frontal Deflector Shield reduce damage by 200%? Wouldn't the StarBase gain health by being attacked? Probobly a stupid question.100% reduction means it takes half damage and 200% means it takes 1/4 damage. Sins is silly like that[/quote] Incorrect. 200% reduced damage means 1/3 damage not 1/4. Sims c

In a vacuum the damage buff is pretty good-the main problem is it's not nearly good enough to justify going that deep into the notoriously sparse harmony tree rather then just building hostility temples.

Reply to Last Stardock Product I EVER buy! in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

any chance you could maybe give us some more details so we can figure out what stopped the damage? Are you sure all 40 squads of bombers were alive and hadn't just been more or less shot down by the time the capitalship had 266 hull left? If your 40 squads of bombers were definitely all alive are you sure they were actually attacking? A large presence of Halcyon Carriers or Kortuls could potentially keep them from actually firing or a single Akkan usin

Honestly I think repossession would be plenty strong if Assimilated Populace & Cowards submission were actually strong techs and worked with it(in the case of assimilated populace). Also I had a rather oddball idea on Fury of the Unity: Fury of the Unity: move to Hostility Tree, maybe T4 or T5. Instead of current effect grants the following: +20% damage with Autocannons, Missiles, Pulse beam, & w

Reply to Advent Phase block technology unimpressive in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="1" id="3202391"] .... My biggest question is: is the culture buff multiplicative or additive with the PM bypass chance? I assumed additive, but if it is multiplicative then the 20% culture buff would be 20% of 30%, which is only 6%...that'd still leave a 24% chance to still bypass, and if that's the case then I definitely agree that is a pathetic buff...[/quote] Should be pretty easy to test: set the first

Reply to Dealing with Late Game Advent Fleets (as TEC) in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

If he's massing Halcyon Carriers with TK push, in all honesty you're probably not going to get much done with bomber spam. It may be a better bet to devote carriers to fighters to keep the air clear and deal your damage in other ways. In general, first thing you want to get done when fighting any advent fleet is force their Progen motherships to die or withdraw. That's the main thing outsustaining your damage output. Also Dunovs are great Against the Advent.

A rather unconventional Approach to balancing Titan AoE in Sins Rebellion Sins Forums

There's been a lot of talk recently on how overly titan-focused the game is, in large part due to Titan AoE damage marginalizing pretty much all non-carrier frigates late game. Even in diplomacy before the rise of titans, most of the early game frigates lost usefulness by late game for less pronounced but similar issues. Now a series of rather interesting thoughts came to me a little bit ago, going something like this: Point 1: &n

WIll be funny to laugh at Eradica's Unyielding Will when stardock increases the cost of losing a titan. not really a problem though- with it's basic abilities the Eradica doesn't really even need a level 6 ability to be an outstanding titan- whatever it's level 6 gives is just icing on the cake.

Introduction: As most know the Advent Loyals are currently one of the game's weakest factions all considered. I've spent the better part oft he last week mulling over their problems and what is causing the faction as a whole to be rather lackluster.

The Advent rebels have long been in a kind of weird place: under the surface they suffer from many of the same problems as their loyal bretheren- but they are kept a highly competitive race primarily because they have 2 absolute bombs at their disposal: The Eradica and Wail of the forsaken.

Game's called Sins of a Solar Empire for a reasons- frankly while there are various levels of jackassery, frankly I don't think any of the factions are really someone you want running your planet.
