Company of Heroes, Dawn of War : Dark Crusade (great skirmish game!) and Rise of Nations are the one's aside from Sins/SupCom/SC2 that spring to mind.

The great thing about the links in my other post Tim is that they aren't just replays, they're VOD's, which is basically a guy commentating the game as it's played. Day9 also does special VOD's which are solely aimed at turning people into better gamers! They're often pretty analytical and in depth, but in a good way. If you just want to watch games for fun and to see how teh pro's play though, check out HDStarcraft on YouTube or go to TeamLiquid.net.

I played roughly 2000 games of DoW2 online during the first year of it's release and I can safely say its a buggy, imbalanced, infuriating game. Sc2 IMO is a much better example of an online RTS. DoW2 is a lot of fun 2v2 though, and 3v3, the imbalance is mitigated somewhat and it was initially designed as a team game. Sc2 not so good at team games, but awesome 1v1. But Timmaigh, read my other post dude. :D

[quote quoting="post"] and honestly, i fail to see all the hype it gets. I admit although i played lot of RTSes in my gaming "career" and love the genre, i am not very good player, i tend to do probably better on Call of Duty, which i played a lot for the majority of the last year, or sports games (football, ice hockey) which i always played a lot. Anyway after playing Sins or SupCom SC2 feels like the relevation from the past... you cant zoom and your average armies consist

It seems if an enemy has ringed his Gravity Well the only thing you can do is send in a suicide squad of scouts followed directly by your main fleet or try a different avenue of attack. But for just clearing the mines in general just follow what the infinitely more experienced players than me have said above. Only thing I will say is that if you need it done ASAP then suicide scouts are the best way to go. Or if you have a Cap with some shield regen abilities maybe?

(At least that's my guess.)[/quote] You're right on the money m8ty :D I've yet to read the novel but the film is very good (in my humble opinion), any "spaced-out and confused but still trying to work out what's going on" character role is perfect for Mr. Reeves, he does it so well.

Man, more anticipation! I just don't think I can take anymore. I just bought Sins Trinity on the fly the other day and I gotta say, it's awesome! Now I hear about this stand-alone expansion with all kinds of cool updates and the anticipation is killing meh! I'm full up on anticipation! Deus Ex : Human Revolution, Diablo 3, The Old Republic, Arkham City, Mass Effect 3 and now Sins : Rebellion!! Where will it end?

Well, thanks to you guys I'm beating Normal every run now. Couple of close moments where I've lost/nearly lost my farthest planet due to over-extension but all in all I think I'm getting to grips with it. Those Hoshiko things really are the business, really helping to keep my guys alive. Also I checked out the unit guide and from that and the comments above I can see that going for a significant number of Light Combat Frigs is only viable VS a Carrier/Suppor

Wow, pretty fast responses from teh Pro's! Thanks for the help guys, I'll play a few more games and see how I get on, then report back when I have a better grip on things!

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to the game, purchased Trinity the other day and have played a few games so far. I can see myself sinking sone time into it! :D Anyway, after reading a few posts I think I've picked up some good tips on how I'm supposed to be playing. Firstly my Capital Ship choice sucked, lolz. I always was picking a heavy hitter like the Kol (TEC) or the Kortul (Vasari) but now I know to pick a Cap ship with a Colonise or Carrier type ability. Also

Hi guys, I just bought the game after watching some "Let's Play"s, been interested in it for a while but there was always another game I'd just happened to have spent some cash on. I can see myself putting some hourage into Sins though, maybe not as much as I poured into MoO2 over the years but I'll defo be playing a fair bit! Anyway, an odd place for an introduction so back to the topic! I've only played a few games so far, but my last one was a
