as far as diplomacy goes the AI is very, very bad.

Yeah that's kinda unfortunate IMO. But I went ahead and bought it anyway, it's a setback but I think I'll still enjoy it, thx.

I'm still thinking about buying sins, but first I would like honest opinions specifically in regards to the 4x of the game. Are there really other strats and victory conditions to utilize besides all out military strength/attacks? Is diplomacy a crucial aspect of the game? Is it possible to win while not having the most superior military force, or is this an RTS with minor 4x aspects that will always inevitability come down

On another note given the length of the game, it has to be really annoying to play online and have someone drop during a crucial point of the game. Who wants to play for 2 hours just to have one of their allies drop? I can only see myself playing this game with people I know, I doubt highly if I join with randoms because of this.

[quote]i tried online and for the record if im a newb why can i play a 9v1 locked teams unfair ai and win because i didnt have many wins they kicked i tried joining 10 match in a hour i gave up on sin online and nobody would help me when i did play they said newbs die hahah i am not playing well back to single player i guess[/quote] ah so basically the biggest culprit is likely not the developers, it's the community itself that's doing more harm than good. I figured a game such as this

lol. First off let me say that if you want some reliable information I would visit tomshardware.com or xtremesystems.org I don't know where some of these guys are getting their numbers from.. But, frankly who cares?? Do you enjoy your system? Are you satisfied with it? If so, that's all that matters. Yes, a G92 GTS would have been a BETTER option, but that still does not make the 320 version a BAD option. As far as the ram, some people are anal about it because of the price

That wouldn't be much fun for an RTS.

Well I meant chess in a way that you have to use your units to their strengths and placement is always important.

Hey fellas, I'm very interested in purchasing this game but first I'd like to know more about the elements of strategy that are present in this game. No doubt that strategy is involved, and probably lots of it, but what type of strategy? Right now I'm a little hesitant to assume that this game could engulf me with enough battle tactics. Which is the most important thing to me in an RTS, combat strategy. To me, I wonder just how much could even be implemented in a galactic type of game in
