[quote who="joasoze" reply="3" id="3182605"]In no particular order: CIV IV Master of Orion II Kings Bounty Crossworlds Total Annihilation Heroes III [/quote] Where is Supreme Commander? You cant have TA in it and not mention supreme commander! In case you dont know it (which i can hardly believe) its the ingenious "remake" of TA.
After having played it for some time i wanted to see the original and figured out it really is much more complex. Actually me too would have liked to have the same amount of complexity combinde with the new fancy graphics and effects. This is still a great game though and i am having much more fun than with everything else right now. But how pathetic is it that you cant find anything better today than a many-years-old recipe, reuse it only in a superficial way and still be awesome
Too stand-alone to me. I would have bought it if it would be available as an expansion pack thats slightly cheaper as well, but no, now I will have to pay 2/3 of a game I already own a second time. I dont know what all the cheeriness is about, actually i think you either do an expansion or a completely new game, but when combining both its a plain ripoff.
[quote who="Aarchel" reply="14" id="3000411"]Well, I think everyone tends to forget that Sins is a hybrid between 4x and RTS. Most of the complaints I see come from people who want Sins to be more RTS-like. However, from the 4x perspective Sins is awesome, and adds the real-time battle from RTS. 4x games tend to be much more complex than an RTS, and nowhere near as fast. 4x games reward micromanagement, and allow for large complex strategies. For instance in Sins it is
Nice, does anyone know where to get this "game"?? I am a biologist and very interested in how it looks like.

Though I really appreciate all the time you put into this post [/quote] No, it is always more like i just have a spontaneous idea i wanted to state somewhere and i get so immersed in the process of writing down my thoughts that it gets much longer than i intended. And often longer than would be clever when you really want someone to read it
I really have to yak some more trash about my thoughts on this whole reward-punishment thing, i am sorry. ^^ Anyone with interest in psychology can read this, others should just skip it. To me this really seems to be like THE part which creates fun and motivation in any type of computer game. This is so fundamental, basic psychology and is disregarded so much in the influence it can have. For example just think a moment about this

After a long time i played a little bit sins (because i saw a new patch was out) and now i figured out a new expansion also is coming out. Very nice, maybe i will be getting into playing more often again. Anyways, i did not find a lot of information though, is there any thread or summary here what is known up to now about this game? I would be thankful for any link i could get. In addition, some thoughts on the future of this game.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="43" id="2531443"]We're all playing the game intensely right now. It's a delicate thing and just as the pirates went back and forth during the original release, we will be revisiting how strong they are here too. What we want to avoid is the situation where players hire the pirates to attack an enemy and they merely serve as XP fodder for the target player.[/quote] Did you ever consider removing/lowering the XP poin
Yes, to clarify this, maybe you did not understand how bounty works - for every destroyed ship of the player the bounty`s on an amount of bounty is rewarded (i believe to players destroying ships as well as to the pirates). So the total bounty is reduced if ships get destroyed and pirates will stop when a planet is eradicated and bounty has been depleted, otherwise they will continue to the next planet until bounty has depleted but i am not absolutely sure with this point. But in fact if the

Hi guys, we already are a group of three german guys that just began to play in online Multiplayer. We are looking for people that like to join us, playing on an approximately equal level and want to get better. Our timezone is UTC+2, our main playing times will be in the evening around 8-12pm here (besides the weekends rather earlier than later) which translates into 2pm-6-pm if you are living in New York eg. If youre like us, wanting to play the game in Multip
Maybe youre right, there is still no Death Star like in Galactic Civilizations 2 ;)
[quote who="Ghost1-_" reply="4" id="2600268"]Whilst getting familiar with Sins on single player is not a bad way to start, you will learn quickest by watching replays and actually playing online.

Hi guys, I really would like to start my first online game. I know have approximately 15-20 hrs of experience, to speak one lost and two won games on easy. I get a feel for it but i believe MP could be hard, there is a lot to master in this game and i dont know what to expect from the Multiplayer players online. In other games the AI can be considered really bad in comparison to online players, how is it in this game? Are games played mostly in teams or is it more death
I am interested in it... If the mod is good, their work should be appreciated and its okay to point it out, i would not have recognized it only by looking at his avatar. Other forums give the option to use a signature. I do not have a problem with this and if those that complain have mods as well they are invited to present it here as well for the sake of competition ;) P.S.: I think i have to put the settings down a bit for this unitorgy ^^

Just went through the manual to get some answers to questions i had and now i want to ask you for clarification 1. Ok, the pirates attack the one with the highest bounty on the nearest planet and get bounty for each unit destroyed. Understood. Will they stop at planets on their way to destroy units if they arrive at gravity lanes of parties that are not wanted but have bounty on their heads as well (but not the highest)? Or are they just defending and making their way through to the v

I got SoaSE Trinity today and it seems Multiplayer games are relatively rare. It seems as if ICO treats every expansion as a single instance, showing only the games played in one Addon, at least the number of games shown differ so this is my guess. I on my part would be glad to find ANY game, so maybe it would be nice if not only the games of the current running version are shown but also those of Entrenchment and normal Sins all in one Gamebrowser. Skipping through the applications is
