I have been playing this game on and off for a while now, but recently decided to go for all the achievements in the basic game. I'm almost 60 years old, so I appreciate it when the easy level is easy. So for some of the achievements, I have been setting up 6 player MAPS and playing against only one opponent on easy. Well, I don't know what happened, but the latest patches make easy medium to hard. I can't imagine what hard will be like. I'm playing a 40 planet one on one and the "eas

Thanks so much. I do appreciate the help.

Please let me know the answers to these questions. 1) Can Sins be installed via Impulse to any drive other than C? 2) How much space is needed? I have tried it with 2.77 gb and it says "not enough space available" Thank you for your help.

I have had several additional LAN parties, with similar equipment and #s of people as my previous tests. In each case, when I have used the MAP Grindstone, everything works falwlessly. When I use some other MAP, I get sync problems, delays and dumps. I used a 29 planet MAP with three people (Convergence?) on Wednesday and kablooie. I used Grindstone on Saturday twice and .... no problems. Still using 1.05... So is it the MAP that makes the difference? Has anyone esle tes

Actually, I downloaded your pack this Am and was checking it out. Looks good, but too many planets for my use. At the same time, I can use galaxy forge and just delete some planets and objects and have a very usable set up for my short games. I will try that out with a few of your MAPs. Thanks for your good work!

I will be sticking with 1.05 until I hear that a better version exists and works better for LAN parties. I have held 4 parties that have included soase and have found my own ways of getting around the problems. [B]I will be looking for more maps that allow for 8 players and have fewer than 25 planets.[/B] These are my thoughts (probably not original)for using 1.05 1) All machines should have at least 1 gb ram 2) The processors should not be too dissimilar. I held 4 player L

I have held three LAN parties since my last report. we played Sins at each party usually one to two games of about 2 hours each. Here's what I have discovered. I am still using 1.05 so keep that in mind. Also, we tend to like a mix of games in a given day of gaming. A game that runs more than 2 to 3 hours just limits our choices too much. We play maps that allow for 8 players. Grindstone is about perfect, since it only has about 20 planets, but allows for 8 players. We can have a good c

Here's my report. All games were small fleets, no pirates. I had upgraded all machine so that 3 had 1 gb RAM and 3 had 2gb RAM ...... We played 6 humans against 4 computer players, 67 planets. It froze after 30 minutes. We played 6 humans against 2 computer players, 21 planets and played the game through to completion. We played 3 humans against 3 humans, 21 planets and the game froze after an hour. I have another party next week. We will have 5 hum

The_Monk, Thanks for the advice. Looks like I will have some hardware upgrading to do. I do appreciate your answers.. km

I am planning two Lan parties that will feature Soase. There will be up to 6 players. I currently have only one copy and for each party, I anticipate one other person who will have one copy. I am planning on upgrading all my machines with DVD drives and will have a 1 gig LAN connection. Questions... 1) Do I need to spend another $40 to allow for 6 players? Do I need a third copy of the game? 2) What would be the optimal set up to allow for 6 players? &nbsp
