Diplomatic Immunity for the envoy set in stone? in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Is there a chance that we will lose our envoys if negotiations do not work out? Do we need to be carefull about sending envoys to factions that are angry or have been heavily engaged with? Do we need to set groundwork first? A Truce or a secret negotiation?

Reply to First Diplomacy Screenshots are on IGN.com! in Sins News Sins Forums

a new capital ship.... now thats good news. Not really impressed so far with the tech tree style diplomacy though. Seems like their is still no real diplomacy, its just stats to push numbers around. Human element evaded.... Not that I expected to talk to the enemy and actually negotiate. I just would have expected a more warm and fuzzy human element to diplomacy. A random effect a bit more like total war..... rather than an absolute power effect of stats. U are guaranteed a di

when u play homeworld2 there are some things to remember to get the most out of it./ H: sends your resource collectors to mine the closest asteroids f: focus on a particular ship so you can zoom right in ctrl F: select a fighter thats part of a squadron and zoom right in on it. nice to go in with attack waves. just like watching star wars as they duck and weave among the big ships. Target subsystems on big ships. u can disable indivdual turrets,

company of heroes - dow2 on speed combat mission shock force - a more tactical realistic RTS. Its realtime with no base building. Bit like homeworld2 - if you have not played this you are in for one helluva ride. Still looks awesome and has grphical update mods available for extra dx9 effects. LOTR RTS - not that good but may tickle people who like twitch RTS Mark of Chaos: Battlemarch - nice game.... if u turn off the shadows u get decent frames and no problem

Reply to Starship troops in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I'd like to have to escort marines to a planet in order to capture it. If your troopships arrive too little too late u lose the battle and cannot capture the planet without bombardment. Similarly u need half the marines to capture a half bombarded planet

Reply to is armada 2526 a threat to sins of a solar empire? in PC Gaming Sins Forums

Yeah, its by the project leader for medieval2 I like the idea of total war in space but do not like the 2d dimension that the real time battles seem to be fought in. Its just not spacey. I would like sins to have this kind of detail though. Hopefully diplomacy will have it.

Reply to The personal cost of Health Care - An international comparison in Everything Else Sins Forums

America has been on borrowed time with health for a long time. Its one of the detractors of a purely capitalist society. Balance is the key, not blind greed. I had a doctor tell me recently that a lot of people thought doctors are useless and don't need to exist. He said "you know most things just fix themselves" that is to say if people are willing to lose weight and change habits. I disagree somewhat.... but think if you look back in time that even though life expectancy was
