@ Kidcase: A couple of thoughts on countering late-game RA as TEC - If your opponent already has RA up and producing large (at least 5 phase gates, usually more like 10) then your choices are limited. If you fill your civil tech tree you can actually produce ships faster than RA, but you are limited by economy, however massive. Your opponent has no such limitations. If your opponent is not supplementing his RA fleet of attack ships with support (namely subverters) then a

I'm hoping that we can get enough replays to make this thread pinworthy, so if you've recently played a game that really highlights a category in the original post (on your side or your opponent's) or even roughly points to a new set of strategies please bring it on. Don't be discourage if someone has already posted a game using your method, either. Multiple replays of the same maneuver are important, because if it works across play styles and games it isn't a fluke. (

I've definitely seen replicated forces explode for no reason, just assumed ability timer had expired.

Edit: Addition of Index, Map Composition (per Therlun), and Defense Sections; Replays. Cleaned up format and made easier to track topics. Thanks to Clan X for the replays, feel free to add additional insight. @ Kidcase, #9: HuntingX has posted a decent Advent build order here: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/303701 Additionally, the X vs GE replay above has good high-level Advent play. @ bdwho, # 10: Thanks :) KK, gonna go play now :D

Thanks, guys...I've posted Silent's replay and will grab some of yours today, Hunting. @Therlun: I agree, there are huge strategic and tactical differences in game types to be covered. I'll see about putting something together, but if you have thoughts in that direction feel free to reply either in thread or by PM, and I'll edit in (with credit, of course)

I've just posted a strategy guide in the Strategy section of the forum: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/308726 As the clans are often the first to innovate new tactical and strategic twists to any game I encourage you to post comments and especially replays or directions to your own posted replays. The goal of the post is to raise the level of the community as a whole, encouraging fun and challenging matches at the rate to which you contribute to it. Pl

In the interests of raising the level of the community, several posts have been made pointing out strategies and starts, as well as balancing issues. These posts are often made from a sophisticated (in gameplay) viewpoint, incorporate math or game file numbers, and are directed at people 'playing to win' on small or medium maps. Having ghosted the forums and played Sins since it went gold, I thought I might provide a companion to these more complex arguments. Please note that what fo
