[quote who="Annatar11" reply="17" id="1882519"]Welp, I've just finished everything there was to do in the demo. Must have more [/quote] Did you also get the zombie wife? [e digicons]:inlove:[/e] I wonder if I could get a children from her in the demo... ------------- But yeah, the demo really made me want more. Gotta buy it, even if it has SecuRom.

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="4" id="1882100"]I noticed that. The odd thing is they removed Starforce from the Russian version.. I guess they'll launch the English version with it and remove it later too, but maybe they'll launch it without to begin with.[/quote] Yeah, I was searching the net for that. They removed Starforce from the russian version after it proved very problematic. The retail game will use SecuRom (same type as Spore uses, but no activation necessary). <
Oh nice, the demo has Starforce included. Well, no demo for me then and no money for them.
[quote who="Aractain" reply="2" id="1877145"]I think you will find it sells far far far more than you think lol. EA knows how to sell crap, literaly.[/quote] Yeah, I'll honestly be suprised if it sells less then a million copies. Most buyers of such a game don't care about it's DRM. Not because it doesn't inconvience them, but because they're either ignorant about it or don't know the alternatives. [e digicons]:'([/e]  
[quote who="Aractain" reply="3" id="1876632"]Yeah, it does seem odd they havn't fixed it already, its pretty standard feature for an RTS.[/quote] Yeah, especially since I'm whining and QQing about this since pretty much beta 4.

[quote]By "Objectives" I meant do I have to defeat the whole enemy, and wipeout and/or colonize each planet?[/quote] Nope. You only have to destroy all enemy planets so that the enemy doesn't own any planets anymore.

Any particular reason why this hasn't been addressed? [/quote] Because they want something left to fix in 1.2? [e digicons] But yes, still waiting for this since the beta 4... Pretty please? [e di
[quote]1) I seem to start out with alot of credits but towards the middle-to-end of my games, I begin running out of credits and that becomes the commodity I need (like crystal early game). Is there anything we can do other than civilian upgrades on planets to generate more credits. [Ignore upkeep please] Is it even worth-it to upgrade civilian structures on desert, ice or volcano planets that can only support a fraction of a colonizable planet?[/quote] You can exchange resources for
[quote]Are there any campaigns in this game?[/quote] Nope. [quote]Is there a way to label fleets?[/quote] Nope. [quote]And how do i designate a ship as the flagship in a fleet?[/quote] Make sure that the ship that you want as the leader is highlited in the empire tree to the right. Use either tab or shift+tab to scroll through your selected ships. Now when you press the fleet button it will use the highlited ship as it's leader.
[quote who="-DRAH-" reply="2" id="1875356"]Thanx. But what if I dont meet certain 'objectives'? Will the game end abrubtly if I dont colonize enough planets or something? Caus' thats what happened.[/quote] Actually no. There is only one victory condition in Sins, defeating everything not allied to you. Also only one lose condition, lose all planets you own. So the game only "ends" if you kill all enemy planets. Th
Looks nice. Oh, and the concept art is breathtaking. [e digicons]:D[/e]
[quote]But I can't really acquire 4-6 planets with only a few ships to fight off the enemy. I always end up being short on money, it feels totally different than in Command and Conquer games, where I always had an obscene amount of money, and the only obstacle was the contruction queue's. Any help on getting more money?[/quote] If you're having money problems, upgrade your starting planets infrastructure first into the game. It helps making money in the long run. Also don't fo
Are you using windows xp? If yes, what language did you specifiy for non unicode programs to use? (Found under system settings, language options.) I once had a similar problem (not with Sins though) because I've got in on Japanese. After changing it to English I could install it.
The folder is probably hidden. Do the following to make it show up: When using XP: 1. On the Tools menu in Windows Explorer, click Folder Options . 2. Click the View tab
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="5" id="1861231"]No I don't know how exactly it's going to work (if it's these 3 making up the whole big expansion, or 3+something else), but I can guarantee with absolute certainty we're not going to have to re-buy anything [/quote] Yep, I'm pretty sure they won't do that. Still I would like a clarification. Because the problem is imho the following. If one of the mini-expansions is adding a campaign, you would need

[quote]Well, immersion is a personal thing, I'll grant you that. But you cannot deny that a game world is much better represented in relation to your character in 3D. For example, gazing at the wrecked horizon of a ruined city is impossible using an isometric perspective. Or properly marvelling at how *huge* that supermutant is before he rams your head down your neck. From an isometric view, both your character and the huge beast are just toy figures. You cannot look up and say "oshit" to you
Hey I'll just rant on, so please don't take me to seriously. ;) [quote who="ManSh00ter" reply="17" id="1860086"]-the games you list were very good, yes, but they were also not RPG's but strategy or squad tactical games. Those types of games benefit from a bird eye view. RPG's don't. Immersion is a big factor in an RPG and first/third person view is far better at pulling you in the game world than any form of isometric perspective.[/quote] Argh, I hate that word, Immersio
[quote]Have you played the original Fallouts? Pretty much everything you're complaining about was done in the original games You could cause a nuclear meltdown in a powerplant near a town, there was plenty of gore (you could cut people in half with a minigun, blow off arms/legs, blow off half a chest, melt people..). And there was certainly a lot of cussing.[/quote] Well, I mostly just ranted away because I found the opening post a tad bit over enthusiastic. [e digico
