Sins of a Solar Empire is the winner of 'Best Strategy Game' at Gamespot's Best of 2008 Awards.

"Sins of a Solar Empire boldly goes where no RTS game has gone before, deftly combining the empire-building of 4X strategy games (explore, exploit, expand, exterminate) with the tactical precision of real-time strategy. "

Yes, you can.. Blair/Craig could have replied "No - Nyah! Nyah! Nyah!"

 

But since they didn't actually reply at all... hehe, does that mean I can still hope???

I think anyone with over 200 karma as of today should get the next expansion free. Who's with me? Oh..

Correct me if I'm wrong, but somehow I don't imagine the next expansion at presumably $10 is going to be that big of a deal for you-or anyone else, for that matter.

Now getting in on the alpha, maybe...

You won't need the expansions.  I'm pretty convinced that with a bit more Karma, you will soon ascend to a higher plane of existence.

Congratulations!!!!!

As for +200 karma = next Sins expansion free...I dissagree (sorry Annatar ). I think we should reward the 10 users with the most karma that way we promote interaction and involvement in the forums. Of course, these 10 users would exclude the dev team (I seriously doubt Blair and Craig pay to play their own game ) and offer me a pretty fair spot next to Annatar and DANMAN!!! Youpi!

Again, congratulations on this truly wonderful game, thanks for all the updates in entrenchement! Mostly the customisable ships which brings a WHOLE NEW DIMENSION to the gameplay and 5 ability slots now! Ie. you customise based on your style of play! Promises to give some very interesting results!!

STARBASES FTW!!!!

Star/Iron FTW even more!

 

Justin S.

PS: when is campaign mode due? or at least the tools...you have at least 5 members craving to bring you the biggest space campaign yet

I second.  This game is amazing.  I wish I had the system to do it justice!

Fixed.

I suppose SD can take -some- of the credit, but still.

True statement. Ironclad should get the credit; thanks for the correction.

Though Stardock of course deserves some congratulations too for implementing genius when it came to them. : )
