Threads about the lack of detail compared to HW2 come up several times a day. They are immediately responded to with assertions about how modern hardware can't handle all the details that they did 5 years ago for that game. [quote]When Ironclad and Stardock were working on Sins, we made a conscious decision that the game would not require potential gamers to upgrade their systems. That meant we couldn't have things like moving turrets or whatever but it means that the size of the market

Advent get 6 levels of culture upgrades. The other races get 4. If a Vasari received equivalent Vasari bonuses in maxed out Advent culture, they would get a 22.5% increase in damage as opposed to a max of 15% in their own culture. That wouldn't make sense, and it would strongly discourage any non-Advent players from researching culture as they would get better bonuses while in Advent culture anyway. It would seem to me that your teammates should get their races' bonuses, but on

The siege platform takes 40 seconds to build. Seeing as the Desolator has to be within 2600 units of a planet to cast it, and the siege platform can hit a planet from 3000 units away, I'm guessing it's this delay that makes it seem non-functional.

There is also already a pretty good discussion [link="https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/?forumid=404&aid=300545"]here[/link]

It's the marauder, and it's awesome

[quote]so if the end benefit is increased credits, how does this really differ from the TEC's trade focus?[/quote] I agree. We should give the Advent a unique cultural ability. Maybe something like gaining vision where their culture spreads. We should call it "Eyes of the Converted" Btw, I'm pretty sure that planet flipping is in the game. I won my last game vs AI without launching a single attack against their home planet. :D

[quote]Thanks.By reviewing (Studying the differences) the statistics of the game I played against the PC I found tips very similar to what you are Suggesting Cabezone.[/quote] I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but replays of every game are automatically saved. You can review them to see exactly what everyone was doing at any point in time, including their opening build orders.

If I had max resources, instant upgrades, and "an insane cap on my planet structures" I'd have Novaliths raining down death within 10 minutes. There's no way I could possibly go 10 hours with that. That's an extraordinarily long power trip.
