In games like D&D, level increase is to make each player "survivalble", but in sins, leveling up a cap ship does little to make it survive mid to late game, and so I kind'a shrug my shoulders about getting more cap ships in late game. They do nothing "extra" after lvl 6 anyway, and it seems just as easy to pop a level 6 cap ship, as a lvl 10 one. When my cap gains a level after 6, I just say to myself "gee, 2 more seconds of life in the next battle". &nbsp

Kyro, could you please explain "how" the serial is directly and permanently linked to your account. If my account is my computer, or my operating system, or my email address, any of that could change at any time. Only this time, I may not have anything to take a picture of, to prove I leagally purchased the product.

If the game was "faster", and the ships could travel "faster", so too could the AI ships. They would just be double teaming you guys "faster". Scouting and antipating are key to winning (or not getting stomped as bad). You might try playing the Varasi, as they can build gates that "jump" them from one planet to another. Don't feel too bad; my friend and I still have not beat a 2v2 AI on hard yet (but came close). When you DO finally beat the AI,

I hope they allow "credit" of some sort if you buy one MX via impulse, but wait for the boxed retail for all 3. I'm sure I'll get Entrenchment; but not sure about the other two (till the boxed version of all of them). I'm just paranoid about not having "proof of purchase", or something to hold after you make a purchase. I had to send in pictures of my Disk/Box/Receit to get GCII reactivated recently; what do you do in the same situation if you downloaded it via Impulse?</p

In which thread is it? And it is strange you can't activate it if you have the serial Id unless: - it is a used copy already registered - someone has registered the serial Id without buying the copy - it was in a manufacturing batch that used already issued serial id It's not a used copy, I have the receit. I have no idea (and no way of knowing) if someone registered the serial ID without buying a copy.&nbsp

I don't know if I was lucky or what, but I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and I really felt very little pain; I just looked like a chimpmunk for several days. So that "saying" does not bother me. I'm at home with a broken foot now, so the saying "break a leg" makes me turn white. So, can anyone give a short review if they got this game yet? BTW, I got Col2, it's really good, but wait till they patch it to get it; they let several game-breaking bugs through [e digi

For those who might have seen this on other threads, I am still trying to get my GC2 (dread lords) game activated (after we had the GHALL to get a new computer a couple months after we got the game). Oddly enough, we got the computer so we could play GCII better. We did give up after months of trying, but decided to try again recently when we saw 2.0 comming out. Anyway, this week I've tried time and time again to send pictu

I and my friend that just got Sins have played online twice; the beta version let us host/connect easily. But we are waiting for 1.1 to be finished before we go full online vs other humans, and, my friend (like Chazzie) is affraid to face anyone till he can at least beat the AI on hard. I can't wait to see his face the first time a human just cruises his ships "around" all his oh so carefully placed mass of Gaus-Cannons [e digicons]8C[/e]

I loved the demo, and it's a big one too. You can play for several hours and see lots of the game. I was not going to get it, due to it not having MP, but now that I've played the demo, I'm hooked. This game is what Homm5 should have been. For those that try the demo, the Scouting skill is pretty important (or you will go broke fighting stronger enimies), and right click on every item in your invintory, as some can become troops, others have special abilities,

I got Spore (as a gift) about 10 days ago; it's been sitting on my desk for a week of that 10 days. I have no desire to play it again. It just lays here, a waist of $60 (they got me the strat guide too). I can't take it back, and I'd rather play MOO3 again more than Spore [e digicons]:thumbsdown:[/e] . I feel really sorry for the people that have been waiting for the game for years. ..

Reply to SPORE in PC Gaming

Guys, please take my word for it: I got Spore as a gift this week, and even though I was not "waiting for it" like so many people have, and even though I did not spend my own money on it, I am shocked how bad it is (I have not been this shocked since MOO3). It has incredible graphics and animations, and the creature creater itself is a marvel. But the "game" itself is very simplistic (and we are talking for little kids simplistic), repetative, and short (about 3-5 hours to

Spot on Crandaeolon . I was not going to get Spore because of the DRM. My sister got it for my neice (13 years old) last Sunday, and they could'nt get it to work on their computer. They ask to play it on mine (how can you say no to a pleading neice). So we installed it (

Seems you are very correct Drag. You can attack peole that simply ask a question about the beta on the "beta forum", call them names, put them down, and get praised for it. I actually appreciate you pointing that out, as it helped us make a decision. Lhusu, Howdidyoudothat, and others that only had simple, basic, and questions about the beta test: I suggest you do what we are going to do: go back to 1.05; don't ask questions, don't give feedback, don't expect communic

Ya, we've given up on the beta, and are going back to 1.5 because we have not seen even one reply from the devs over the bugs that prevent testing. It's been way over a month, and we thought for sure they'd at least fix the SC scuttle bug so we could playtest MP, but nope. And how are we suppose to know the Devs "know about it", if they never reply? The same day you post something with the word "Impuse" or "$9.99" exansion, we see repli

If they change bomber armor to very light, there is no longer any need for Flak, just fighers. Flak would be even more useless. At least now, it was "suppose" to be Flak > Fighters > Bombers. But Flak is too weak (or fighters too strong) for this to work in the state of the current beta.
