[quote] I hope our European distributors are biting their own posteriors for not having released Sins on the European market. [/quote] yea ... on another thread, a SD representative said that the Euro distributors were initially not interested : they didnt believe that such a type of strategy game would sell well ... they must be biting their own [I]derrières[/I], foh surrrrrre

[QUOTE] The post about rushing in AoE is off-topic. [/QUOTE] since when is it inappropriate to talk about other games to make an analogy ? i dont recognize your self-appointed right to define what is « off-topic » and i especially do not recognize you any power to police a thread by pointing the finger at other posters to brand them as being « off-topic » (according to your little opinion) [QUOTE] Asking someone to stay on topic with a winky at the end isn't trolling.

yesss...u have to edit a text-file (user.setting) located in the ironclad games folder where your saved games are also located open [B]user.setting[/B] with notepad (not wordpad) and go down the list to this line [B]AutoSaveTickFrequency 900[/B] 900 is 900 seconds....so have fun lowering that #
[quote] Well considering that the topic starter never once mentioned that the game was boring, but instead requested assistance for his issues, I'm not certain why you brought up the boring factor. Just felt like trolling? Complaining? Or trying to spur on so called fanboys? Hmmmm.....I'm just trying to grasp what kinda reaction you were expecting. [/quote] well...many hours later, you're still talking about BOB...seems to me that the « troll » did a lot of mileage on this thread with h
[quote] There's nothing wrong with what you've [= Toothless] said, but this isn't the "I keep getting rushed" thread; let's have one topic at a time please [/quote] are u a mod ?! are u in charge of policing threads ?!! i find that Toothless-OMO'S post #74 is on topic...he gives one theory to explain why some people might be quitting early in a game : they dont like the feeling of being rushed by bangers who just want to crush them fast & furious. in fact, dear Conan B
great OP work...i havent played vs. hard comps yet...would u tell us what makes them « hard » (harder than the normal ones) ? after reading your OP, i dont get the impression that they are that hard !!

[quote] 1.03 will at least have AI players take over but that doesn't solve the root problem of playing with strangers.[/quote] great idea, [I]gars-grenouille[/I] !! yea...well...if i play with « strangers » and i predict that they are going to beat me around for a few HOURS, for sure ill quit : im not a mazokiss...im not going to waste a whole evening juss to let a bunch of strangers beat me up to the bitter end (im not revealing my ico nick : none
italia559...why do u prefer to build a carrier cap ship ?
[quote] their placement can make or break a defense sometimes [/quote] what would be the ideal placement for gaussies and hangars defending a homeworld ??
why do u focus on bashing n00bs (im one) ?!! dont tell me that non-n00bs dont do what you have described !
[quote] It can be frustrating. We are based in Vancouver, BC, so I know what it is like to have Anything shipped from the states [/quote] yea...i live in canada too... the mail man brought the package yesterday (20 feb) and its « carton pack list » says that the ship date was 7 feb : 20-7 = 13 days ! it was not 'cause of canada customs : this time, they let the package slip in without charging their outrageous [B]$ 5[/B] processing fee + federal tax + provincial tax !!
about defences...those gauss cannons dont seem to shoot far...i started building hangars w/ fighters instead : they seem to have a lot more reach to catch ships that try to avoid the cannons...would i be OK to do this : no gauss, all tac slots filled with hangars? if i do that, what is the best ratio of fighters & bombers? ive tried no gauss, only hangars w/ only fighters, and it « seemed » to work... a totallee n00b n00bette
