Reply to Will be available at Steam ? in Sins of a Solar Empire II Sins2 Forums

Never heard of Epic games. What is that? I have 170 purchased games in my Steam library. I did have to get a UbiSoft account for Anno1800. Really happy about Sins2 coming out. Hope it can be on Steam, too. Seems silly to go with an unknown, unheard vendor for release of Sins2. I wonder what the thinking was behind that. I'd like to get into the Beta and pre-order; maybe Stardock can make a direct download available. Just my two cents as a suggestion.

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III v1.4 Mega AI update is now available! in GalCiv III News GalCiv3 Forums

I would like to ask the DEVs for some rationalization of why the production wheel is replaced by limits of 60/20/20. Two points --- 1. Frogboy advertised the production wheel as brilliant at the time it was introduced. 2. The usual game plan is to make worlds dedicated to one of military, science, or wealth. This 60/20/20 buttons split seems to massively change the game. Hence, I would like to ask the DEVs for some justifica

Reply to Galactic Civilizations III: What's new? in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

Really nice comparison of three versions. Thumbs up! Also, this comparison is a nice introduction to GalCivII folks about the new features in GalCivIII. I just played a battle yesterday and assumed that the battle viewer was all cosmetic --- learned something quick and new by just looking at frogboy's post. Thanks!

Oh my god, all of these necro-players--- who knew you guys were still reading forums --- too bad you don't actually play any more or do you all have smurf accounts? Most of you guys... are prehistoric... having joined in year 2008. My gosh, I wish I had been around that long.

The Definitive 100-Player List in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

Please find below the _definitive_ 100-player list. That means comments are _unwelcome_ (fat chance, right!?). That said, we are still 30 players short of 100 players, so do send me names I have forgotten. In reviewing the list below, please keep in mind that there is some fuzziness to the rankings on order of +/-2 at top of list, +/-4 about 1/3 way down the list, and +/- 7 toward bottom of list, meaning it is harder to categorize skill levels farther down the l

Guys, why are you trolling this dude's question? It's the only legitimate question on the forums all month. Stilat, sorry the older player are picking on you. Anyway, the answer is to always build flak. Good gaming and see you among the stars! P.S. Sometimes you'll see people tell you that fighters are a great counter to illums, but don't believe them.

Reply to Starting strategy? in Strategy Sins Forums

You've got it backwards. What you need to do is build your frigate factories *as far away* from your enemy as possible so that he cannot destroy them. This is key. Build your factories on your backwater planets. To make up for the distance from the frontline, upgrade the the logistics slots to maximum, and max out the planet with frigate factories. This is how Doci and Grimm play and win.

Just because I apparently have nothing else to do, I have taken all listed players and put them in the order that I would pick when captaining. Lines 1 through 5 seem pretty firm. Lines 6 and 7 are getting mushy. Line 8 is pretty clear again. 1. Doci, Grimm 2. Auqia 3. Quar, X-Wing 4. Oli, Nayru, Achilloraptor, Puppetier 5.

Oh my god, ICO is down, so here I am reading the forums after some time. And here is this really terrific thread. I am laughing so much. Thanks guys. I don't know where to start with the humor. MULCH is a pro player? I just fell out of my seat. SinKiller is suggesting flak over LFs? Well, he wrote some really nice English of "an ounce of this" and "a pound of that", but please, bring your flak fleet, please, let me micro my LFs around your flak micro, please, please, please.

Wow, Sel's account is like theoretical physics: all good stuff but doesn't help you get from 0 to 60 in under 3 seconds flat. What I mean is that Sel is overthinking the early game situation. You don't have enough time or options to do everything he has said. The practical physics in what he said is this part: [quote]One of the very first things you should do is make sure at least one lab is being built...usually this is a military lab, but regardless you ne
