Reply to Sins II Release Livestream: Harbinger Expansion in Sins of a Solar Empire News Sins2 Forums

Corruption spreading across a world until it can be shrouded is more than I expected. I asked in the AMA thread whether the Eidolon were a real faction or a Vasari roster swap, and this list mostly answers it, so Ill take the point.

In my games the AI has mostly sat on Novaliths or used them badly, so having one actually decide to end you with them from across the map is a different experience. Not sure I enjoy losing that way but its hard to complain that the AI got smarter. On the defenses not firing, if its only happening with the Insurgency ships then that points at something specific to those rather than a general defense problem. Worth saying which build you were on when you g
