Question regarding Rebellion

June 8, 2012 8:57:26 PM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Since Rebellion is a stand-alone game does that mean that the entrenchment and diplomacy expansions will be only for the 'standard' sins and will not apply to rebellion?  I really want to know since I want to get Rebellion, but I also want to experience Diplomacy and Entrenchment without having to have two separate games for the different expansions.

Rebellion combines everything into one .exe file. It is different from Trinity which has three separate .exe files. One for the Original. One for Entrenchment. One for Diplomacy. Oh and Diplomacy has everything that Entrenchment has so its really not separate from Entrenchment really.

Will rebellion have all that Entrenchment and Diplomacy have or will they be stripped out?

It has it all, you just can't play them each separately.

This is how it is:

Original is vanilla. The structure of everything.

Entrenchment came out, and added to original. Now you can click original OR Entrenchment to play either.

Diplomacy came out, adding on top of Entrenchment. That completes the Trinity set. If you play Diplomacy, it is Original+Entrenchment+Diplomacy. If you selected Entrenchment, it'd only be Original+Entrenchment.

 

Now Rebellion is standalone. However, it's still an expansion, and it was added on top of Diplomacy. This means playing Rebellion is akin to Original+Entrenchment+Diplomacy+Rebellion. However, buying Rebellion will NOT allow you to play at the lower levels, as in you cannot play JUST Diplomacy and down or JUST Entrenchment and Original. If you buy Rebellion, you are playing Rebellion.

Basically, Rebellion has everything except the ability to go backwards. The expansions are not removed, but cannot be played separately.

EDIT:

Thank you for that, I was curious if it was something like each expansion pack was effectively a DLC unit which were modular, but also that means you not only have to buy rebellion, but entrenchment, and diplomacy.
