I liked the other chat system better. It wasn't perfect, but I thought that this was a definite step down. I like the allies being the first tab, but that's it. Replacing the colored names with /w and all that is horrible, not to mention the no save feature, so you have to constantly hit tab every time. Anyone else feel the same?

May I say, Frogboy, that I appreciate your involvement in this forum.
THAT IS AN AWESOME SHEEP. Also, stop being an ***hole to people you haven't even talked to.
I'm wondering how improved the AI. I haven't got a chance to play them, but I'm curious. I understand they're vastly improved, but what does that mean? Are they 2x better, 3x better, 1.5x better? Anyone know? I just want a sense of scale here.
=D Vasari gets much better later on, 'specially the Assailants. Get all of the upgrades, especially the last one. Not to mention that you can get Assailants and their first upgrade with only 1 Military Lab. But, as a note, I have never used or researched the Charged MIssile ability. You guys may find that Vasari is weak, but trust me, get those upgrades up, and they will be demolishing left and right. 's all about the upgrades.
Frogboy, would you mind sharing your views? =P I never think of a gamedeveloper/publisher as a republican, much less to the right of them. Also, it was joking. I thought it was funny. I'd laugh if it was democrats in the place.
...Advent are not better than any other race. In fact, they're the least played. It's a pretty balanced game, really. I've seen TEC demolished Advent. I've seen every race be demolished and demolish the other races. Sure, there's player skill, but none is better than the other.
This is being changed in the 1.03, I believe. Better phase jump as grouped.
If you would like to have someone to chat with, or someone to play with, you can contact me. I can host(Have you played MP yet?). If you're interested, tell me here. =)
Rofl. You get attacked by your own rebels? How....useless.
Monk- I read the one that's pinned up on Technical. NETWORKING AND SINS, I think it was. Unless I'm confused, which is possible, because though there's two guides, I've somehow only managed to find one. This was the one that explained the What, not the How. I think you originally wrote it for WiC(Great game, btw.) I did look for it though. Just never could find it. =P And I didn't know about point 1. I took it from Portforward.com, and all I know is that now it's
You can still get a win. Just finish off the game regularly. Kill the planets.
Like has been mentioned, opened 6112 TCP, though I opened 6000-6112 both TCP and UDP, not sure why. =P Check out portforward.com, or Monk's guide. Make sure your firewall has port 6112 opened too, and is not blocking sins.
Bump. I like hearing these stories. I had a nice one today. I was planning to rush someone with a Kortul and some Assailants. Turns out, he rushed me first, with a Mothership and some Disciples. I had seen him, and had churned out maybe 6 Assailants to delay. Turns out, I got the bulk of my fleet there before he arrived, so I surprised him. Made him turn tail and run, and followed him all the way. He quit before we got to his planet. One of my teammates was getting demolished, and the
Meh. It's not so much that, Jinx, as the common courtesy. It's annoying. And I never say Surrender unless it's pretty much guarenteed I'm going to win. If I have a decent sized fleet in your homeworld, which happens to have the only decent infrastructure of any of your 5 colonies...And you have no fleet anymore...Then it'd be nice for you to surrender. That's when I ask. It;d just be nice to be recognized for a well-deserved win, without the lame cleanup. Not win for winning's sake, but just bei
I don't know if people just don't understand what surrendering is, or if they spitefully refuse to do it, but I've never seen someone surrender. I played a 3v3 today, Gateway. I got attacked on one of my colonies, and quickly brought my fleet back as I churned out more ships. After driving him away, and following him every step, he quit. Fine, he only had 3 planets, and I had business to attend elsewhere. Next, I put the killing blow on another guy after they
After finally figuring out how to host, here's what I did. 1. Set up Static Ip. 2. Forward ports on router. Step 1 and Step 2 can be shown, in detail, by portforward.com in their guide section. Step 3. Check all your firewalls and any anti-virus software, make sure that they also have port 6112 open, and that they are not blocking Sins. I'm betting this will solve most of the problems, like has been said. I'm assuming people are missing one of these
Carbon, I wish that it was that easy. =) You have to have a static IP first, and then maybe it's not the router at all, but your firewall, or some other thing.

Shockwave, you're not going to get any help like that. Though, to be honest, I agree somewhat, though not with how you're saying it. I've tried my very hardest to understand yours and others guides, Monk, and for some people it's much harder. And besides, some people learn better when they DO something, not just reading it. I've tried many different things to be able to host, but have not been able to. And I've seen people ask for help, and there is some aspect of eltism of how people a
Try winning at 2v8 against Hard AI. =) It got hard at points, but after the first 2 hours, was more tedious.
Yeah. Turrets are very effective against AI in general. Don't use hangar defense against Pirates, it's a waste. The bigger the galaxy/system, the more artifacts there are likely to be. On smaller maps, you may have 1 or two, plus some other bonuses(Like better mining ability, etc. These aren't artifacts, and don't alert anyone when discovered.) Best advice I can give on UI is hover your mouse over the button, and trail and error. I guess check your manual too.
I have no idea, but it was a good line.
Sounds like a possibly decent strategy on a huge map, with no one near you. Especially against AIs, ESPECIALLY fortification, who could possibly be the easiest of them all. Try it on a small medium map vs. a human and watch yourself get demolished. Find yourself without any infrastructure. I, actually, recently played a 3v3 on Gateway. One of the enemy who was only 3 jumps away(Pretty common in Gateway) extended themselves very fast, colonizing everything on their way to gateway, probab
