[quote]Ubisoft has used StarForce and limited activations - in other words, it's told me it does not want my $50. It even has this on the Steam version - an insult.[/quote] Oh, and the activation with the servers doesn't seem to work always, judging from angry posts in the official forum.
[quote]As an alternative, you could try OpenVPN. I haven't tried it myself, but it looks like a decent alternative.[/quote] OpenVPN works perfectly. My university uses it and I had never problems with it.
[quote who="kryo" reply="8" id="1911956"]There's always Not-MoM, coming soon [/quote] Vandenburg hits kryo with a large trout for being a such a tease! You know, if you people tease us so much, you could give us at least the full screenshot of the glimps in the customer report. Pleeease. [e digicons]:pout:[/e]
[quote]I am not quite sure now. does the total war series have a multiplayer with the turn based region mode[/quote] Sadly no. [quote]how about hearts of iron or whatever it is called. does that have mp?[/quote] It has mp but HoI is only semi turn based. Turns exist but they're in real time, sort of. Also the AI is brain dead too. But I still had fun with it.
[quote who="thread creator" reply="0" id="0"]these expansions better be dirt cheap ($9.99) is fine but there better be a full expansion pack's worth of content in there.

[quote who="Maktaka" reply="2" id="1910385"]If I remember correctly, it's a Games for Windows policy that version numbers cannot have letters (i.e. cannot contain the text string "Beta"), and Sins is part of that initiative.[/quote] Which adds to the fact that games for windows still sucks... (flame, flame ;) )
Sadly the beta patchs don't work with the german version. You'll have to wait until the finished patch. :(

[quote quoting="post"] Ok, i've had a quick look through the forums, anyone got a decent beginners strategy guide? I've found it impossible to keep up on Normal and a struggle so far on easy! I'm either overlooking something or this game really does have a huge learning curve... [/quote] There are lots of strategies in the strategy forum, but here's one for easy: 1. Disable the pirates in the game options screen. Chose large fleet capacity there, so you can e
[quote]how do you kill minefields? it was said that scouts can locate them, but what can you do to still go through that area? otherwise the defending player can just mine the whole area, provided that is not cost prohibitive of course.[/quote] I'm just speculating, but that's how I would make them work. They are invisible. If you've a scout in the same grav field (though I would prefer if you would need a scout near it, ie. a dedection radius on
I have to repeat my post from another thread: Evil teaser is evil. [e digicons]}:)[/e] Me wants more info about not-MoM.

[quote]with the current info level, I doubt that many people will find entrenchment not worth the 10 $.[/quote] Yeah, I was first a bit concerned about that (still I preordered right away) but it looks like it will be a very nice expansion that is worth its money. This could really make me rethink my stance on micro expansions (though still not on DLC in general).
[quote who="EBITAD" reply="10" id="1906532"] What stops your enemy from just going around the starbase? Perhaps they will orbit?[/quote] According to this GameSpy preview mine fields are supposed to do that.
[quote who="Shadowhal" reply="19" id="1906110"] Quoting Khezef, reply 18I also dislike that all capital ships turn out the same at level 10. The game says "customize your capital ships", but at level 10, every single ship in the game is 3/3/3/1. There should either be more than 4 abilities, or we should be able to put more than 3 points into some abilities, so at level 10 it could be 5/2/2/1 or some other variation. yeah, thats a bit disappointing. I'd say if the balance allows, the
Oh pretty pretty pretty. Was just complaining seconds ago in the news post that spheric explosions are a bit missing and then saw your post here. If just all may wishes would be fulfilled so fast I would be a happy guy. :)
Looks nice. Video following fighters is always pretty. Reminds me of that video I posted once in beta 3, wonder if that is still on youtube. Oh, and the explosions still look nice. :) Though I wonder why the circle like explosion shockwave still is used... does a spherical shockwave just look bad? (Nitpicking ;) ) Btw. that ohh, ohh sound of the nukes should really get a lower priority, it covers almos
Yeah, it's strange that it doesn't work. But ctrl+c and ctrl+v work perfectly, so use that instead.
[quote]Well, it's my first buy on Gamersgate So don't blame me, blame 1C. I prodded Zoomba and Yarlen about King's Bounty on Impulse. Zoomba said he tried it and wants it, and Yarlen said they're working on it.[/quote] Well, too late. Allready downloading it. [e digicons]:blush:[/e] Btw. they sure are slow, 225kb/sec. I miss my 1.5Mb/sec Impulse download speed. I just can't wait. I have to go pulling out my last wisdom too
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="2" id="1886220"]And it's out! Yarrrrr... Got it downloading off Gamersgate before I went to work Going to be a slow, slow work day though...[/quote] Ok, I took that as an endorsement of Gamersgate. So if doesn't please me, I'll blame you. Ok with that? [e digicons]O:)[/e] Btw. Stardock, stop being lazy and add King's Bounty to Impulse allready! [e digicons]:drool:[/e]
[quote who="Kitkun" reply="23" id="1883553"]Thank you very much. I now must have this game. I hope the full version accepts saves from the demo...

Argh, I suck and edit still hates me. It isn't the circle thing, it's the infinite icon with the three small boxes above it.
In the uppermost left of the empire tree are some buttons. One looks like a square. Press that one to disable stacking.
In the lower middle of the interface, left of the building/order icons is an icon which looks like some circles. Press it to activate/deactivate automatic placing. Was that understandable? [e digicons]:|[/e]
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="19" id="1882793"]Huh, I didn't go back to her after finishing the ring quest I love the humor and the conversations though, how you agree to swap the ring every day [/quote] You should go back to her. You can buy her from the bandit for 5000 gold. She gives you 4 more item slots. Then you can keep her in zombie form or turn her back to human, after which you can make a child with her (though it says it will take some time, so I don't thin
