[quote]Unless a thread starts to violate termsof service we usually just let them go. If there is no harm to other members, why not? [/quote] Yeah, well I saw in some other tech forums the mods maybe were a little quick oln the draw and quickly clamped down on F-words and were a little biased themselves.. One flame war I read reached the point where people were accusing the mod of being a troll! :D So, in comparison, I do think you guys do a very good job moderating the forums here..

[quote]Just think about the Intro. Why do the Vasari run away? How long have they been running away? What are they afraid of? What happens to the guy under the tree in the intro, when the Advent-Fleet was approaching the Trader-Planet? I could go on and on...[/quote] The real question is why do the vasari have similar characteristics as humans (terrans and advent)? For example, the Vasari have the same logistics/etc slots on terran worlds than on say volcanic worlds. Maybe the Vasari

Which is why, when attacking an enemy, always prioritize planets above asteroids etc, for the logistics slots. Sometimes (esp. later stage game), you can even completely bypass an enemy asteroid for a planet. The loss of whatever things (labs, factories) in those logistics slots you razed from the planet are not easily replaced if the enemy does not have enough logistics slots elsewhere, and so, the effect on their ability to respond is quite significant for a long time.

[quote]If you had taken the time to compare the two, you might have noticed that I did say it in the second post, which I consider to be the original post since the first one is meaningless at this stage. It's not that hard to figure out.[/quote] Ah, OK, so now all of us must bow down to your definition of "original post", "first post" and "second post"..

[quote]You have often accused others of changing the topic and ask them to stop changing the topic, but you are allowed to do so? The original post is: and has no mention about greed, or even SD. In fact, your original question is a valid fact-finding question. So, clearly, you are changing the topic - at least in your replies to me. The first post is completely irrelevant at this point (I was obviously referring to the second post), and you are just arbitrarily trying to limit the

[quote]Stop changing the topic. Your opening post is about keys of second hand copies of Sins (which has already been answered "Yes") and not about the greed or lack thereof of SD. Since when has this thread been exclusively confined to what I said in the original post? I have repeatedly talked about the fact that Stardock & co are being greedy (and I actually did so in the original post!). It is very much on-topic.[/quote] You have often accused others of changing the

[quote]I didn't ask you meaningless questions like how many times you pleasure yourself - I asked pertitnent questions (which you have not answered) like Are there any other items missing from the box you bought second hand - like Keyboard fold out ref or music CD? Are there? Or is missing items from the box not that important? These questions are meaningless and arbitrary.[/quote] So, you are saying that asking about missing items (like a manual or a license) from a second

See, this year, due to the economic downturn, Santa had to outsource some of his routes to Murphy, and regretfully, SD is on one of the outsourced routes..

Congrats to everyone at IronClad and StarDock.. In celebration of this achievement - I'm still waiting - for SD/IC to give a free copy of Entrenchement AND the next two expansions to lucky forum users.. you can start with ME!!!!!

[quote who="Silveus" reply="20" id="1991028"]Honestly people, you don't need a credit card, a debit card works fine, and those are so easy to get. Go to the nearest bank and open an account and but the 20$ in it and you will get a debit card in days. If that is to hard then get a job at burger king, they give you a debit card so that they can pay you. Hell there is even a thing called a "Only 1 prepaid visa card" Its a card designed for people who need to purchase things over the internet and

[quote who="XselenS" reply="17" id="1990963"]I don know what a troll is but how the fuk am I able to test a mod in entrechment if I can't get it. The reason impulse is great for updates is cuz updates are free, they use your serial (which get's rid of pirates which proves I am not a pirate if that's what a troll is since I have 1.12). For entrechment though you need a credit card, which some modders can't get. Man I can't believe how many of you don't get this...[/quote]

[quote quoting="post"] Ok this is a message to Stardock and Ironclad about Entrenchment. Look I know it's great entrechment's out and everything but you don't get what you're doing. Many modders out there can't get entrechment due to it being available via impulse only. Very bad idea if you ask me, impulse is great for updating software but making important things like entrechment available via impulse only WTF WERE YOU THINKING? I can't get entrechment along wit

[quote who="Schwarzie" reply="14" id="1988748"]@Kruppe Where does my argument fail? As long as Software comes with errors i absolutely demand free patches PERIOD. Thats a general statement. If a software ist absolutely errorfree with version 1.0 there is no need for a patch. So whats your point? And if there was nothing to correct in 1.0, why do we have now a 1.12? And why are there corrected bugs in the changelog?[/quote] Just to clarify, the issue here is not free patches

Look, to everyone on this hot thread, I just want to say the following simple points: 1. SD could make it clearer about the rules on the outside box - must use Impulse to update, re-sale not permitted. It would reduce the misunderstanding. If it is on the box cover, and people still buy it, well, they should have known what they are getting themselves into. Caveat Emptor - buyer beware. (And yes, Impulse is listed in the printed

I tried doing the missions and found out that i absoulitly hate them! Almost all the missions that AI gave me were to attack planets in diffrent star systems places where i don't know how strong the oppistion is and where they are. or something a little more resaonable attack other factions but even that was difficult to do;

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="5" id="1988267"] You should install Sins in one directory and then install Entrenchment in another. You can run each game seperatly by running the exe in each one. Erp, are you sure? Because on beta launch day the major issue was that Entrenchment was installing in another folder and was missing some core game files The way I know to do a backup is to install Sins 1.12, copy the folder, and then install Entrenchment. Run Sins 1.12 out of the

[quote]Whether it is the norm or rarity, that is the rule here. So adapt, or get out. Did you miss the part where I said it's rare? I'm not going to quit PC gaming because of Stardock.[/quote] Did you miss the part where I said it doesn't matter if it is rare - those are the rules? You couldn't have missed it since you quoted it! Clearly from this one single example, you only choose to reply to whatever suits you, not on the issues. And whoever asked you to quit PC gaming?

[quote who="Doktor Teufel" reply="5" id="1987759"]Or is there a dual victory option?[/quote] Well, if you have locked teams, then when all the oponents on the other team(s) have been wiped out, your entire team wins, regardless of who did the actual wiping out. So I guess that might count as a "kind of" dual victory? If you are playing FFA, and you allied with an AI, and all the other players have been eliminated, the AI immediately breaks all peace treaty/cease fire/trade agr

If Entrenchment has already been installed, try uninstalling it.. Then, install Sins (fresh) only, update to 1.12.. Make a copy of the folder with your original Sins install. After that, then install Entrenchment.. IF you need to go back to Sins, just rename/copy the folders back to the original locations. In this way, you can switch back and forth..
