I bought it mainly because it was 50%, but even after the latest patch it's as buggy as hell. I haven't had any issues with it crashes as yet (but then I probably haven't played it for long enough to experience those issues). The main problem I get is with the menus and UI flickering until I change the graphics settings. It happens everytime I load a game. 4 months on and it's still bugged. That's bush.

Just buy the boxed copy and throw the packaging away dude.

Melee combat - outstanding.

I would have thought Bioshock would definitely get a look into at least one of the lists so far...

[quote who="Hertston" reply="5" id="1663852"]I must have colonized over a thousand planets by now across all games, I've never seen space ponies. Still have that lone achievement sitting there, keeping me from 100%. AFAIK they don't actually exist... Hehe.. no, they certainly exist. I 'found' them in my second or third game, it's just luck of the draw I think. [/quote] Yeah me too, one of the first games I played. I had no idea what was going on

Get it mate - I was faced with the same predicament a few months ago and ended up buying it straight away (the forum convinced me). I definitely don't regret it. That said, if you feel a little overwhelmed by the new units, SBs, etc. that Entrenchment introduces you can always load up vanilla Sins. For 10 bucks, it really is a no brainer.

Ah right-o, cheers for that mate...yeah I agree it's no biggie, I get to start another game again and that's not such a bad thing...

Since installing the v1.02 patch I've been unable to load saved games (vs AI) from the previous version. I get a minidump error msg and the game boots me out to desktop. Anyone also having these dramas? (Apologies if there is already a thread regarding the same issue).

Great guide mate.

I can't decide when I'll get it!!! I already have Sins, DOW2 and SFIV on the go at the moment...I can't see where I'll find the time to squeeze in a time sink like Empire *sigh*

Thanks for your help bud; FF seems to be working ok now (with Flash v9). Steam is still asking for the latest version of Flash, but I'll think I'll wait a little longer for the next Flash version and see if they've rectified the compatibility problem.

Spore. Complete crud.

Hey all, I've been having issues with my computer not recognising that I have flashplayer installed. I've noticed the problem with Firefox3, IE7 and also Steam. It seemingly happened all of a sudden about two or three weeks ago; the only correlation I can make is that I noticed it starting to happen after installing the EA Download Manager (piece of junk - it and Spore). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the flash player several times but the problem remains. Has

Much appreciated guys; you've made my decision very easy... The noob in me is looking forward to relying on mines and starbases for when I send my fleet abroad [leaving my previously undefended home planet ripe for the picking].

Hey there guys, I'm new to Sins and obviously just coming to terms with the gameplay. I'm currently attempting to grasp TEC, before moving onto A and V. My question is this; should I get Entrenchment now while I'm still learning, or wait until I'm more comfortable with vanilla Sins before adding more units and more strategy into the mix?
