[quote who="MadCowKing" reply="4" id="2106828"]Here's an idea for allowing Orkulas to fight enemy Orkulas, give them an upgrade that lets them phase jump once. Basically, you give up an upgrade slot in exchange for using it as a siege weapon one time.[/quote] Commence the murdering. I'll get the axe. NO PHASE JUMPING STARBASES. PERIOD. What was that phrase again? Oh, right: STATIONARY FREAKIN' BASE
[quote]RA costs resources to activate .[/quote] There's the key-your phase node stabilizers have to activate it now. And yes, it does cost resources-I was under the impression that update hit Vanilla some time ago, though.
Saved games are generally incompatible from patch to patch. You don't "lose" them, but you can't play them anymore, either. Impulse is the updater for Sins, and all it does is update the changed/added files, so it brings you right to the current version. If you're playing pre-1.05 you may have to update to that first; I'm not positive.
[quote]It is not possible to go negative any version I have played (1.04 onwards). The worst that can happen is that your income counts down to 0 and stays there.[/quote] Point still stands-you can't buy the first planet upgrade without credits.
[quote]yeah, but now they can fall pray to my fighers first, instead of flying 12 0 drone hosts up to my starbase and droping all your mines... cheaters... lol[/quote] Didja miss a zero there? ;) But no, I would never do that ...
[quote who="xploseve_12b" reply="9" id="2104673"]Ha, no more droping craploads of mines on my starbases, advent.[/quote] AoE damage will still affect them and you can tell a homing mine squadron to go somewhere, before they deploy (at last check...), so it just makes it more micro on the player's part.
[quote]To the OP I suggest that he try to do two civilian population upgrades to every planet you colonize as soon as possible.[/quote] He can't; there's a credit cost and he's negative. But good advice for future games.
[quote]1. Does entrechment read data from vanilla sins or it read its own data? Does future expansion needs older expansion to work? (I mean the game info of entrenchment?)[/quote] Entrenchment reads its own data. Future expansions will (as I understand it) build on Vanilla, not Entrenchment. They're trying to enable a mix & match thing here. [quote]2. Will there be a big collection box set after all expansion are done?[/quote] There's be
Resource income shouldn't go negative-you could theoretically get out of debt by selling resources to the black market-but this kind of hinges on your not having lost any of your metal/crystal mines at the planets you had to retake, as you can't rebuild them since that costs credits. Another option is to turtle down on your home planet and perhaps two or three others-you say you're being attacked on all fronts, so the negative income planets should be bombed soon enough. You'r
You must be using a very old release of 9 (I found several in my searching and was unable to identify the "current" one-good thing I found the original installer). I never updated to 10 and the forums work fine for me, and they do no complaining whatsoever. Then again, I'm still on XP-are you by chance on Vista?
[quote]Advent Homing Mines: Target acquisition range reduced from 5500 to 4500, Can no longer acquire structures and starbases as targets (though their area of effect damage will still damage them).[/quote] This made me cry.
[quote who="MindsEye" reply="23" id="2104042"]First off to come up against a mass amounts of turrets and defenses like your describing takes a long time to build and ALOT of resources. You will hardly ever come across this.[/quote] The topic specifically says "Analysis of late-game Entrenchment Advent defenses". Also: [quote who="Annatar11" reply="16" id="2101974"]Most of that is irrelevant and icing on the cake. You only need one tech: Synergy.
[quote who="TheSpydyr" reply="21" id="2103453"] Quoting Annatar11, reply 10 I actually checked. Sucker. Oh now that's just wrong![/quote] What can I say, I was hopeful. Besides, Annatar always seems to know what's going on...how should I have known he was going to lie to me? [quote who="TheSpydyr" reply="21" id="2103453"] Quoting Sole Soul, reply 19 "Entrancement" I lol'ed pretty hard on this one.
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="9" id="2103411"] but if people dont have the graphics mod I am talking about thats kinda sad...lol. Entrenchment actually allows graphics-only mods to be played without worrying about others having it.[/quote] That's epicly awesome. Didn't know that. Not like you need more karma, but have one anyway.
[quote who="Varsi1" reply="16" id="2104015"]+6[/quote] No, the count's at 4, and your post is invalid. Read the rules for the round. You just called Darth on it. Seriously. -1 3
[quote who="Grifthin" reply="7" id="2103253"]Thanks guys - I'm in south-africa - I haven't seen entrenchment in stores yet.[/quote] It's not in stores. There's been talk about the three expansions being bundled together in retail when they're all out, but it's not set in stone yet . (Hi Annatar!)
[quote quoting="post"] Perhaps the repair bays could stack Perhaps an upgrade to repair rate like TEC Perhaps an AM regen upgrade for repair only Thoughts? [/quote] Decided to comment again, responding to original post. -Overpowered. You can't be serious...? And how does that fix it? It makes no sense from any standpoint to give the Vasari stacking repair bays but no one else, and it makes barely more sense to give every
[quote]Also - If the mods are just better used on single player whats the point? I mean I love strategy but those mods were so awesome![/quote] They're not "better used on single player". You just need to find someone who also has the mods to play against. Both players need to be playing from identical files, basically.
[quote who="SithLordAJ" reply="20" id="2103016"]so, in general, you should probably be putting your points in Shield regen and Malice (maybe a point in colonize if you think its worth it).[/quote] Your first point goes in colonize, because it's your first cap ship and a 20% discount is very helpful. Your second point goes in shield regen, because you're fighting, and it's damn good, but also because it won't let you put it in colonize yet. Your third point goes in colonize
You can play other people with the mods so long as they have them installed and enabled as well. I'm not certain which if any of the mods you've mentioned work on the current version (1.15), or for that matter Entrenchment. If you don't get Entrenchment you can't play Entrenchment with people who have it, but you might be able to convince them to play Vanilla with you. I think, based on my not being able to see any reference to time up above, that Varsi meant that $30 is n
Technically it's not (supposed to be) possible, but you can try installing it via SDC , which only has it up to 1.05. You'll probably have to uninstall and redownload, though-I don't believe it'll simply do a downgrade.
I would agree that that is a flaw in the ability, yes. It would be nice if that flaw were addressed in some way. I still think it works well as is. I'm not real clear on the whole "two level 6 cap ships running around" idea. You have one cap ship that is at least level 6, and one cap ship that is...any level, really. It could be level 3...and it dies...and you build a new one and save time and/or resources and/or experience getting it "back" to level 3. <p
[quote]when does this ever happen, honestly? i'm pretty sure that the Mothership is always gonna be the first target anyway just to get rid of the Shield Restore if nothing else. the Mothership has to be alive to Ressurect dead cap levels and thats why the ability is bad. [/quote] Then build two motherships (and keep one out of the way)? It doesn't need to be in the same well to "save a soul". This is an honest question. Isn't being able to "reincarnate" your des
[quote quoting="post"]if for some reason Stardock closes down or is sold[/quote] [quote who="Henry Hayes"]" Never going to happen."[/quote] The expansion packs are theoretically going to be sold at retail bundled when all three of them are out, but that won't help if your hard drive is too small to have them installed, as Azrak has stated. And just for the record, Sins is (chiefly) an Ironclad product.
[quote]As for ICO, if you want to simulate the experience without wasting an hour looking for a match, start a game vs. easy AI, then Surrender, Repeat about a dozen times. (This simulates Smurfs whoopin your ass) then start a match against an Unfair Aggressor, and about the 3rd or 4th planet, Hard Power down your PC (this simulates a sync error or minidump).[/quote] [e digicons]:rofl:[/e]
