[quote who="NHD-151" reply="130" id="2708985"]You mean like Halogen? That was hilariously unfair... I doubt he'd have a problem here though. I think the Halogen affair was just because they were also working on an RTS, and though this one is also an RTS, it's in space, not on land, so it's something different and i doubt their planning anything like this. [/quote] Halogen and a DBZ quake 3 mod called Bid for Power. I'm sure there are plenty of others, but t

I mean the mod looks EPIC and is so close to completion, it would be a shame for bungie to come along and be like 'yeah we own the rights...and you didn't ask us so shut down' AWESOME JOB ON THE MOD BTW!!!!! YOUR DOIN' AN EXCELLENT JOB Bungie doesn't own the rights, Micro$oft does. And it'd only be a violation of

[quote who="Alpharius93" reply="269" id="2701703"]- More races. We needed an organic race (such as the Mantis from Conquest: Frontier Wars or the Tyranids from Warhammer 40000), and a machine race (such as the Geth or the Reapers from Mass Effect). Organic structures and units; completely mechanic race. - Planetary defenses built in the planets' surfaces. - True 3D strategy. The 3D movements could be based on Homeworld 2's ones. - More planet, star and other c

As far as I know, you can play as a guest, but I don't know if that allow you to save games or any other details. It'd be nice if you could create multiple offline profiles for situations like this.

[quote who="innerpattern" reply="61" id="2696476"] Quoting Tridus, reply 51 Quoting innerpattern, reply 48You are a smart man PurplePaladin. The lack of LAN is pure lunacy and greed on Blizz's part and I hope they take a good hit in sales for it from the old fans. That coupled with the move of trying to make the game as "online" as possible and forcefully spread the campaign over 3 products ensures a "no buy" from me. Maybe in like 3-5 years when the actual full cam

I think it will be bigger than the original. And I'll be playing it, but I'm not too worried about trying to compete for a top spot. I mean there's people who play the game professionally, let alone ppl who just play a lot and get zero compensation. I'll be happy with getting into the top league since I never played RTS competitively before.

[quote who="Maxxedmk" reply="1841" id="2685803"]I wanted to ask, my previous post about another Stargate related mod, did you guys want to use it, or do you already have content from it you need, or are you just going to make your mod completely different from this one, and this one will not be needed at all? Because I found it and figured it may help you guys out since it is related, and has a lot of things looking good... Tell me what you decided so I can know.[/quote]

Most people don't have these issues. Clearly there is something wrong on your end. The only crashes that are somewhat normal is late game when the game reaches 2gb memory and causes a minidump.

LOL, any regular person will never need that kind of APM to be decent at RTS. If you want to be a pro, than yea, just like you better have ridiculous control on your fastball. Throwing 100 mph doesn't make you great, just like having 300 apm can be useless. You have to put it to good use. Also, tactics is a part of strategy. Bad tactics = bad strategy.

[quote who="WIllythemailboy" reply="8" id="2674456"]I've been following this on the GameFAQs boards, and I've only seen two possible reactions: "what's the big deal?" and "screw you, and your forums." One of the events Myles may have missed was one of their forum moderators posting his real name to "prove" how safe it was. Within minutes the /b/ croud were publishing his phone number, address, names and ages of cohabitants, pictures of his house from google, etc. That topic has sin

[quote who="MichaelCook" reply="1" id="2673422"]So I need a drivers license to play online now?[/quote] Not right now. But if Blizzard really wants to do this they will need a way to verify someones name or the whole thing is bogus. [quote who="DoomBringer90" reply="2" id="2673448"]it was up to 320 pages when I checked it just now[/quote] Yea, the topic seems to be growing a page every 10 seconds or so. It's about a post a second.

Recently, as in this morning, Blizzard announced that with the launch of Starcraft 2 and World of Warcraft: Cataclysm that they would be launching new forums that required the use of real ID. This means all posts, including those by Blizzard moderators, will be identified with a real life(or possible fake, but I'll discuss that later) name. Full Announcement As you might expect, there has been

lol @ necropost apparently this guy went on a spree of old halo posts.

[quote who="Admiral100" reply="6" id="2665111"]I loved the "Hey, did you see her fly?" when his ogre hit the female. Funny stuff! [/quote] Equality in action!

@starwarswins - Opinions and criticism are fine, being an asshole is not. Stating "All the other capital ships look like shit! It's not even the textures, but there just fucking ugly! The siege capital just looks like a hideous fatass version of the Daedalus!" is not constructive criticism and if expect people to take kindly to that kind of stuff you're going to have a rough go at life. You could have just as easily have said I don't like the Cap Ship designs and got the same point

[quote who="Dandin" reply="14" id="2632402"]Are there any dev team plans in a future patch or maybe even player mods that up the AI difficulty without cheating? I've never enjoyed playing against an AI that cheats, I simply want them to be as smart as possible in playing the game. I'd just really like a new difficulty level that doesn't cheat, but is smarter and harder than the highest non-cheating difficulty. Also, any chance of getting an AI type that plays relatively bala

[quote who="lbgsloan" reply="447" id="2632176"] -Resources aren't infinite anymore. Have horses? Great, you can make X calvary units, that's it. Need more than that? Guess you'll have to beg. [/quote] This one change is making me reconsider not buying the game due to steamworks. I've loved all the Civ games, but it always bothered me that having a resource gave me infinite of it, but apparently not enough to trade until I got another infinitely loaded resou

I have a very crappy video card(integrated radeon 3200) but a decent processor(quad core @ 1.8ghz) with 4 gb ram and the game runs fine. There shouldn't be any issues running the mod aside the normal sins problem of slowdowns and crashes late game due to memory issues, which will hopefully be solved by the inclusion of the sins optimization project.

I actually played some Civ4: Rhyes and Fall mod and SC2 beta.

[quote who="Kitarious" reply="1675" id="2626513"]So.. when does this mod come out? Lol kidding. Everything is looking great so far, I've been watching the progress from deviantart for a while. [/quote] LOL! I didn't even see the black part until I quoted it, but great way to break the tension! One of the few times tone has come through on the internet :)

Unfortunately, there hasn't been any word at all of continuing Sins. I really hope they do. Using 64bit, they could do so much more and have it run way better during the late game.

[quote who="koshe" reply="1673" id="2626381"]well u making a mod u gotta expect the same question over and over and over again cause lets face it 100% of ppl aint gonna read the full 67 pages wporth of posts they gonna read the main bit where use say what happening in the mod. yeah i under stand making the frames textures etc etc etc takes time was just asking and suggesting so if u cant take the questions and suggestion from ppl then dont answer them just say it will all b explain

**facepalm** Does no one read shit around here? @koshe Had you read just this page alone, you would have seen the discussion on how complete the mod is and the fact that there is no release date estimate. Also, the other Stargate mod does not use custom models(at least Dolynick didn't before, he may have had some donated) it is all coding, which isn't the problem for this mod. The reason this mod is taking so long is because ALL THE MODELS ARE CUSTOM. It takes time to

Meh, Terran's are saving 200/200 on their M&M ball. Just makes an early push is a little harder, not much of a buff really. The Void Ray and Force Field nerfs were pretty warranted, imo, and this comes from a Protoss player. Void ray could sit at the edge of cliffs and snipe anything even with the crappiest micro ever(mine) and marines could do nothing, and they're supposed to be a viable counter. As it is now, if you suck at unit control like myself, it will be much harder to get

[quote who="arstal" reply="24" id="2618964"]I wonder if the Civ 5= Steam announce had something to do with this. I'm sure that Stardock didn't want the two games released at the same time, but with the Civ forums being in anger over Steam, competing directly might now be a good idea. [/quote] Stardock wasn't concerned about releasing Elemental near Civ5; they're going to release it when it's ready. From what I've ga
