Reply to Tactical Combat discussion continuation in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote who="TarponCrest" reply="230" id="2631367"] Quoting XeronX, reply 192 Quoting Lord Cobol, reply 190 What I always held is that tactical combat should be allowed to span multiple strategic turns. Combat lasts 10 tactical turns and then 'stops' to be resumed on the next strategic turn. Both armies are pinned to the tile during "Strategic Phase". That plus a sensible stacking limit would allow for multiple battles to develop, with re-enforcements arriving and per

Reply to [suggestion] Swap usage rules on The Heart of Life and Wand of Speed in Demigod Ideas Demigod Forums

The wand is instant cast, just like the Heart of Life. There really shouldn't be any interruption of movement for either, so yes, if it does interrupt movement (haven't used it myself so don't know), then that sounds like an unintended behaviour.

Reply to I want to avoid the Queen of Thorns in Demigod Demigod Forums

This reminds me of the Hot Coffee business with GTA, I find it incredibly ironic that there is this huge outcry of having *gasp* nudity (which you have to hack the game to unlock, mind you) in an ultra-violent game. Let's see, nudity is a natural part of life, while killing people for no apparently good reason, will get you the death penalty in most states/countries. I know, let's start a class action law suite over all this evil nudity there is in this game. &n

Actually, now that you mention it, Gehrschrein's observations seem more accurate than mine.

Reply to stray ship in fleet in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I encounter this all the time and I have a theory. If you don't have your fleet set to all jump together, like when a new ship joins the fleet and you haven't right clicked the move button to add it to the "jump list", the new ship will jump to the new sector before the rest of the fleet. When it arrives, it realizes it is not with it's illustrious leader and sets its waypoint back to where the fleet was (but by this time the fleet is already enroute to where the lone ship is). For some reason t

Reply to Winning is underwhelming in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

It would be cool if all your planets start launching huge fireworks displays all around your empire and have the camera do a zoom in then zoom out to and from each planet as they celebrate. Kind of like the last few scenes of Return of the Jedi Special Edition.

Reply to A real Solar System in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

( Infinity ) is a game that (I think) gets the feel of space right. It doesn't have to be black, as long as it isn't this nebulous green/blue/orange cloud everywhere. Make some variation and some distant objects, make the colors much darker, add nebulae in the background... make the color scheme have more blue/white in it than orange, and add things like this: (procedurally-generated nebula) <A href="http://www.fl-tw.com/I

Figured I should post my issue with Trade ship weirdness here.

Trade ship weirdness in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Lately, I've been using the set rally point option on my homeworld to make it so all ships that are built all move to my flagship, which works great! I never have to worry about rallying together my fleet every time I build something new. But something weird happened when I build a Trade center by my homeworld. It was the first trade center to be constructed by me, so that might be part of it too. Once it started producing trade ships, the trade ships would immediately begin warping to

You know you can alt-click on a unit to select all of that type right? So double-click to select all would also be mimicing a command that is already available.

Reply to Sins Beta 1 - Gameplay Feedback - *Post Here* in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've noticed that I can issue build and research orders while paused, but not movement orders. Maybe that's intended, I don't know, but in either case the scroll button on the Empire Box should work while paused and it doesn't (the button moves but the list doesn't). Also, when saving a game, a list of my previously saved games isn't visible. I can only manually type in a name. Actually, you can issue movement orders(and most other actions), there just

Reply to Well.. I get the honor of submitting the first bug in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Thanks! That work-around worked like a charm.. After that I had no problems with the game. In fact, I was extremely impressed with how polished it is, especially this early in the beta cycle. If only other companies would release finished products with this much polish. Great work!

Well.. I get the honor of submitting the first bug in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I downloaded Sins (fast download here too), and ran it. I got the Stardock logo and the Ironclad logo followed by a black screen with the Sins of a Solar Empire logo in it. So far so good.. then the logo fades away and the display resolution changes to now show my desktop with the sins window open in the top left, completely black. Meanwhile music is playing but nothing more happens in the sins window. I waited about 2 minutes and then exited. This happened both times I've tried now. (
