So I've been thinking...other than Diplomacy, does Ironclad have another stand-alone Sins game in the making? Having something other than an expansion come onto the market I think would attract tons of new people to the genre. Though, they shouldn't change a thing about the game now, just add new content as they see fit. Anyone heard anything about such a thing?

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="38" id="2466672"] I did download them but once I load them in Entrenchment, it says invalid something and I can't watch them . Make sure you have the latest updated version of Entrenchment, and then make sure you get the replays for that version.[/quote] I'm pretty sure I have the most updated one. I bought it through Impulse, so it should have updated it. RagingAmish's replays work, though for some reason I can't see some plan

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="36" id="2466617"]I've got some other commitments to finish up today. If I have everything finished up by 4:30, I'll come and help you out, but I can't promise I'll come.[/quote] That's fine man. I just meant in general if you would ever want to. I'm almost at finals week, so I'm at crunch time for studying and work. I may be able to later this week or this coming weekend. Definitely Friday though.

I definitely like this mod. I downloaded it yesterday and installed it with Entrenchment and haven't looked back once. Love it.

I just downloaded DS for Entrenchment and I am playing on Fast right now, but I didn't know the mod sped up the rate anyway, lol. Maybe I'll turn it down. I do like the fast income rate though, lol.

So I had an interesting question come up. Can you only play online with people who have the same mods activated? I use Distant Stars and checked who was online at around 12:30-1 EST and there were only 86 people online :(. If anyone wants to play with me, send me a PM. I'm EST, and it's almost finals week so I'm busy but I'd love to play when I get some free time.

[quote who="Swordsalmon" reply="29" id="2466531"] Quoting Distorted Truth, reply 27 I send it to unknown worlds and then colonize. I seem to be having trouble with managing resources and what to build when. Would anyone be interested in playing a game with me and helping me out? That's why. You want to scout out the planets before colonizing. Also, having some scouts and LFs will make colonizing far faster, especially since scouts counter siege and LRFs.

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="25" id="2466364"] Quoting Distorted Truth, reply 215 planets - 53 minutes. Hows that? Sounds like you have improved but are still quite behind. Watch the RagingAmish or other replays you said you downloaded, and watch how they colonize. Once you see what they do, you will know what you are doing wrong.[/quote] I did download them but once I load them in Entrenchment, it says invalid something and I can't watch them

[quote who="Darvin3" reply="24" id="2466292"] 5 planets - 53 minutes. Hows that? First of all, how fast you can colonize always depends on what kinds of planets you encounter, how many militia they have, and how they are laid out. With a good layout, five planets could take you as few as five minutes (with quick-start; maybe 8 or 9 without). With a bad one, I'd still expect no more than 20 minutes. You need to be moving a lot faster than one planet every ten

[quote who="Agent of Kharma" reply="16" id="2465930"] And so I have this right...I should take a fleet plus a capital ship out to colonize? Yes, you need a fleet to colonize with your colonization capship because otherwise it would take forever and a day to kill all the neutrals at the planet you are trying to take. Asteroids are lightly contested, and sometimes ices or volcanos are lightly contested, but terrans and deserts are often heavily contested with multiple long range

I have both Entrenchment and Original Sins. I have the 7 Deadly Sins for regular Sins, but now I have this one for Entrenchment. I can't weigh out the advantages between Entrenchment w/ this mod and the advantages of regular Sins w/ 7 Deadly Sins. Does Entrenchment add new things to the game that this mod helps enchance and make it even more enjoyable?

I'm playing as TEC now! I sped it up to 8x just to wait for some crystal and then upgrade. But I think once you get to a certain point you don't have to wait anymore or that long at least.

Ugh, so many questions. During single player games, does anyone speed up the game speed to 2x or 4x so they aren't waiting for so long for resources?
