I suppose it depends in part how they do the beta. Entrenchment wasn't originally going to have a beta, but they realized that it needed one. In this case they are planning a beta well in advance so there might be more scope for input. I suppose it depends what you count as a feature.

Hmm, am I an entity? I think, therefore I ban.

Banned for boring font
THIS IS NOT TRUE. With Entrenchment some of the features changed dramatically during the beta, after suggestions. Things that are completely different (such as new races) are of course not going to be in obviously though,

[quote who="wbino" reply="88" id="2369529"]OK As someone who does'nt play MP, what's feeding?[/quote] Giving your allies resources. Generally you often have one player (the one in the safest postition) focussing on economy and supplying the others with whatever they need at crucial moments.
Its an old argument, and been asked for many times before. I think the point is that either you spend ages on really complex and detailed campaigns (remember that Ironclad is a very small company - or at least they were when they made Sins) or you copout with a handful of games on different maps with a few cutscreens that really aren't worth the effort. They probably figured that seeing as Sins is designed as a skirmish game (quite a skirmish on some of the bigger maps!), it wasn'
Hang on, do you already have a copy? Because you are allowed to install it on multiple systems.
Or it is simply a misunderstanding by PAX people. I'd wait for an official announcement if I were you.
If you were spamming, you get banned. If there was an excuse for it (someone else using your account at the time etc) you might be able to get it unbanned by emailing Ironclad and explaining. ...and please don't do what countless people do and go complaining to Stardock instead.
[quote who="AdmiralBane" reply="2" id="2357145"]you wouldnt happen to be the dude controling ico would you...?[/quote] Well as he is the joint CEO of the company that developed the game...
One possibility is that they try this out during the beta and see what the players think
I remember playing games with campaign and no skirmish and hating them for it. Please stop trolling, it is getting annoying. Incidentally your post started badly with the first word. Brad IS NOT DEVELOPING THIS GAME! Go and talk to IC if you want to moan at a developer, but SD are the publishers with a helping hand in development. I think that Diplomacy is the natural extension to the game, since we've had the original fleet bashing, then they ha

They'll be launching it at PAX. All the videos and stuff will be here as well.
On asking the question on the IRC, I received the reply 'Soon'.
Craig (or might have been Blair) said last week that they were working on a new preview, but it got delayed.
As for the lack of credit card, I used to do the old "can you buy this for me and I'll pay you back" frequently until I got my own card. The post about online purchasing is an overreaction, provided its a reputable company its no more dangerous than using a cash machine.
Civ IV FfH is a pretty good bet.
Blimey you can feel the testosterone on this thread! There has to and always will be DRM on downloaded games. All of them. Every company. DRM is a term that is not really understood well. Pretty much every game ever released has some form of DRM on it. DRM is simply a term used for anything that identifies a copy of the game individually. Some games do this by having the disk in the drive. Others have stuff like
No matter how much IC nerf carriers, Chuck Norris will still be able to destroy an enemy fleet with one LC.
Banned because yours doesn't either Edit: This happens all to frequently on this thread [e digicons]:([/e]
A couple of days ago, there was a thread complaining about Vas SBs being OP, now there is one about them being UP...
OP needs to get his facts straight before ranting on about this. 1. The expansions are not cross compatible, nor can they be. However it is possible to still play vanilla if you want. 2. Stardock is not the developer of this game so stop complaining to them.
