[quote who="charon2112" reply="127" id="3184816"] No diplo victory?? Is the only way to win through military means? That might be a deal breaker for me. [/quote] I don't know if it has diplo victory or any other conditions besides conquest. My point is that it doesn't have *allied* victory, meaning that in a coop game you can't have a situation where your team (ie 2+ players) all win at the same time. There's some people on the forum for the ga

hmm. Alright thanks. I'll keep watching for now. :) I did learn that right now there's no allied victory or coop tools like that. You can ally during the game, but in the end to actually get a victory screen you need to cancel that alliance and try to beat each other. Hopefully they change that.

[quote who="Seleuceia" reply="75" id="3184421"] I'm going to take that you haven't actually played the expansion....I'd like to point out that a whole host of improvements were made completely independent of Espionage and Religion...while those were the marketed selling points, I think the host of smaller improvements and additions are far more important and easily overlooked by Civ V haters and reviewers... I'm not saying you will like Gods & Kings...but t

Seanw3, you're filling me with hope here. I've been watching this one and praying that it turns out well, but have been torched too many times to want to risk a pre-order. If it's really as good as you make it sound, I'm going to have to break out the wallet. How's the MP? Is it possible to play with someone in a coop kind of way and team up against some AIs? As for SotS 2... that was quite possibly the most ruinously bad launch I've ever seen. And I was here f

I didn't like Civ V (well, I wanted to like it, but got bored really fast) and hoped this expansion would fix it. That worked out poorly. Based on everything I've read and my own experience, I think you can summarize this one easily. If you like Civ V without it, then you'll still like it. If you didn't like Civ V for any reason whatsoever, there is NOTHING here that will change your mind. Also think this expansion is overpriced. Fundamentally it's yet anot

I wanted to like Civ V. I really did. I even went back to it when Gods & Kings came out. Can't do it. The combat AI is dumb as rocks, and everything else just flows downhill from that. I don't bother making units except a couple of very early game ones. There's no particular need to. You can buy one or two if someone dares to attack you, and that's all you need to beat an army double your size. Without massive cheats the AI stands no chance against even a h

[quote who="Brazilian_Joe" reply="2" id="3173069"]Just because the VR Titan eats frigates for breakfast does it mean it is OP? Perhaps throwing frigates against it is just the wrong strategy, on purpose. Like trying to destroy flak with strike craft. What if it goes face-to-face with a starbase? How many capital ships are needed to destroy the VR Titan without frigate/cruiser support on both sides? Those are all valid comparisons which, depending on the answer

Just to point out that the Vasari Rebel Titan is currently quite possibly the strongest Titan in the entire game. Nanoleech is so broken right now that attacking the thing with frigates/cruisers (that aren't carriers) only makes it stronger. People in beta were using it by itself to fight 1000+ supply fleets, and winning. Besides that, you can only attack with one Starbase at a time. So why not augment it with the Titan?

Just going on a hunch, but when the first *line* of the post contains "Rebellion team (SD?IC? I dont know anymore) is composed of morons incapable of balancing the game", the only surprising thing is that it got to page 2 before being locked. I'm not sure why you were even remotely surprised by the outcome, and since after that you took to throwing around words like "Nazi", it's clear that you're only hanging around to troll anyway. So good riddence.

Go here, and login if prompted. You should see a second option to buy that has the discount.

[quote who="BlakeTheDrake" reply="3" id="3172768"]...but I didn't download the Beta or anything like that. I downloaded it after the public release. Wasn't that supposed to be version 1.01?[/quote] If you downloaded it right around 1pm, that was still the beta version. There was a delay in deploying the real one.

[quote who="Sinperium" reply="13" id="3172756"]The short version, "I don't like this sort of game much." Ok.[/quote] Reading the first line of his post would disprove that assertion pretty quickly. Rebellion really isn't that big as far as expansions go.

Yes you can play in single player mode. In that case you just set up a bunch of AIs to play against.

I'm annoyed by them because this forum has a huge amount of empty space on both sides, and yet they jammed them into the middle of the thread requiring more scrolling to get past them. Sticking a banner ad in the middle of the thread on a professional website is just tacky and amateur looking.

[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="10" id="3172204"] I'm not whining, I'm raging. Does it take 1 month to move tech from t5 to t8? Does it hurt to make temporary adjustment to corvettes? Early game is ruined by corvettes, mid-late game by SB mobilization and STTC. I have lost all will to play.[/quote] And I'm not disputing that. Balance definitely needs work, and that yet again nothing was done to the Deliverance Engine annoys me quite a lot. But there's a

[quote quoting="post"] Today I have talked with Quar. He said that Rebellion team (SD?IC? I dont know anymore) is composed of morons incapable of balancing the game. I opposed, saying that I have faith in them and after I red "Known Issues" I'm pretty certain that patching can't go in bad direction. Or can it?[/quote] It was fun during the downtime, but continuing to post stuff like that now is just making you look whiny.

[quote who="OniTrigon" reply="16" id="3172148"] I know I have to install steam to install this game but can someone clarify to me that if I to run steam and keep it on every time I want to play Rebellion? [/quote] You need to have it running while Rebellion is open, yes. If it's not running when you start Rebellion, they'll both start up at the same time.

[quote who="TheEvidence" reply="55" id="3171969"]I don't mind the ads... I just wish they'd put them off to the side. There's sooo much room out there. Putting them in the middle of threads just makes me skip over them, since my brain identifies them as "Forum sig" (sure, there's none on THIS forum... I'm sure we've all been to forums where they're giant monstrosities).[/quote] Yeah, agreed. Over half my screen is empty when I visit this site, bu

Now I'm waiting for a change log and wondering what's up with all the banner ads appearing in the middle of threads for Rebellion and Elemental.

[quote who="Boobzor" reply="6" id="3171633"]Maybe we only need a tool or software that emulates all 8 CPU cores into one (Virtual Machine softwares excluded). I still pray for that, i don't want to launch that topic again, it has been debated many times already, But i was just wondering about the result if i add 2 or 3 Titans in this video. [/quote] It wouldn't work in this case. The problem is that languages like C++ can't be easily broken apart to execute func

Sleeping, working, playing Sentinel III on my iPad (quite a lot of game in there for 99 cents!). You know, stuff!

[quote who="Mecha-Lenin" reply="22" id="3171395"] Quoting KrdaxDrkrun, reply 21Qu4r's thread was blatantly aggressive and offensive Yeah, but quite frankly, he had a point. Beta 3 was ridiculously unstable, and they write about increased stability? WTH?[/quote] PC Gamer probably isn't playing with beta 3 when doing reviews, and I'd imagine work was put in on that issue.

[quote who="Tankbushed" reply="5" id="3171248"]One last feedback. PLEASE MAKE A SEPARATE REBELLION FORUM. TY[/quote] You mean like this one? "General" is a weird one here in that it actually includes several if not all of the subforums. So it's just one stop reading.

[quote who="ZJBDragon" reply="3" id="3171235"]I'd rather see more moderation to delete pointless topics like this one. I miss the days when this forum actually talked about Rebellion, reported game issues, and posted solutions to game issues. If there's not more moderation then I want to see Ironclad and Stardock become more visible to discourage pointless posts. I'd really hate to see this place turn into the Battlefail 3 forums. What a train wreck![/quote] That requires

[quote who="Ryat" reply="199" id="3171063"] Mecha-Lenin is right.[/quote] I agree.
