As much as I appreciate finished products, it seems to me that when they allowed pre-orders they had an anticipated release date that has already passed. If not, then the tone sure made it sound like it wasn't going to take this long. Even now, there is nowhere near a firm date on the beta or release, and little to no information about the game is being released(and come now, screenshots are VERY easy to do). Really... I think this is a case of them announcing WA

Thoumsin, 32bit Windows OS can only use 3.someodd(can't remember the number) gigabytes of memory. That's why you only see them sold with 4gb of RAM at most. If the caps are a myth, then go tell MS to stop artificially limiting memory usage. That page does NOT say that ANY developer can do anything whatsoever to get their programs to use more memory, it states plain and simple that 32bit can only use 2gigs of memory. Go re-read your article. Their server O

Frankly, it'd be way too resource intensive. A 5v5 huge map is already intensive, an even bigger map, with bigger fleet caps, more mines, more defensive structures, etc would make it even more intensive. Now, if that mod is what you're looking for, then I'd suggest going and using that. There is nothing wrong with it being a mod, and being a mod does not somehow make it inferior to a system they put into the game. They are not going to spend a large amoun

"Later this week we expect to go through our own "nit-pick" demo of beta 1 to show where we're at and what we think needs to be done prior to the final release this Winter." From the front page, which stresses that this is the first rendition of the beta and incomplete. I would advise thinking about this, and then waiting until after the mentioned article(at the earliest), to go critiquing Diplomacy.

You assume you speak for the masses. Have fun with that, they're not going to put it on STEAM unless their analysts say it's a good move to do so. Meaning... You won't be playing Sins unless you get over it and buy a boxed copy(you realize you can toss the box after, yes?) or buy it off Impulse.

It's really going to depend on the OS, there's no solid answer until it's released. The thing with Vista and 7 is that they both take up more resources than XP on a baseline level. That is why one some computers once they upgraded to Vista the performance dropped. We're not going to know how 7 compares to Vista performance wise until it's actually out(well, right now there's a decent idea, but ultimately it won't be set in stone until it's released.)
