So... I've played standard Sins a bit, nothing crazy-like though, mostly have stuck with TEC... and I'm curious about Entrenchment. For those of you who've played the Beta and have it now, in a short paragraph, what is different from standard Sins? How does the game(play) change? What is added/removed? Will a non-hardcore gamer that plays maybe one Sins map a week enjoy it?

If you like Jagged Alliance, check out X-COM. It's a classic, and while the graphics are old and definitely dated, the gameplay has yet to be surpassed in it's genre. It's semi-turn based, tactical squad strategy with moderate RPG elements thrown in to the progression of your soldiers. For a turn based RPG I'd recommend NPPAngband. The game revolves around exploring a 100-level dungeon, in which the player seeks to amass enough power and equipment to ultimately defeat Morgoth. A new l
Hi, just found a little bug and I hope this is the right place to put it, even though 1.12 is out of Beta. I am using the 1.12 version of Sins without the Entrenchment Expansion. When Hoshiko Robotics Cruisers have been told not to autocast their Healing Bots and the Demolition Bot tech is researched, they default back to autocasting their Healing Bots at the same time. I hope this makes sense and can be f
Last night Ironclad Online was down. It hit me too. :(
"Our job as CEOs is to maximize our profit... my job is to increase our sales, not eliminate worldwide piracy." Mod that +5 Insightful. Aside from the fact that Sins of a Solar Empire appeared to be a great game from reviews, videos and screenshots, it is leadership decisions like this that add to the many reasons I chose to purchase it, and will likely continue to purchase quality games from Stardock in the future.
This is an awesome guide! Thank you!
[quote who="pndrev" reply="14" id="1868549"] If you want a game that is nigh impossible to win, try a few Angabdn variants. I have, and they are fun, always being on the verge of loosing, constantly fighting the odds.[/quote] I second that, try out some Angband variants . My personal favorite is NPPAngband, but it seems like the dev's
Dear Sins Devs, Please add my voice to those expressing appreciation, excitement and enthusiasm for the announcement of Entrenchment, and in particular the format of three micro-expansions. I am far from a "fanboi", but have enjoyed playing Sins in what little time off I get from work (I work 60+ hours most weeks). It's not the only game I play, but due to its replayability and (as I recently discovered) friendly (for the most part) online community. I can't guarantee
[quote who="apricotslice" reply="15" id="1857876"]I dont modify the game to win. Scouts should actually be capable of scouting more than 3 pirate infested planets without running out of shields and hull. [/quote] Or better yet... Scouts should not revisit pirate infested planets more than once! Is that even possible? I've not attempted to mod the game at all yet.
No. They even have to be destroyed before you can build your own structures that you can use.
