suavesamaritan , "If you can't manage to do at least one of these things, you don't deserve to beat the pirates, or any other player for that matter." Thank you for the condescending post. The point was not that we are newbs needing instructions on how to defeat the pirates. The point is that they are unbalanced. "To prove th

I've been playing Sins on and off for years. I recent;y upgraded to Diplomacy and played three games. everything you said is spot on. The pirates are too damn powerful. Sure, they can be beaten with enough effort. However, allying yourself with other teams in order to defeat the pirates became the focus of all three games I've played. I'm not sure there will be be a fourth. The AI doesn't know what to do with it. All one has to do to win the game with any race is devel

I only bought Sins after demoing it. Flat out, I don't have the money to spend to try games. That has a lot more to do with making house payments and raising a family than getting off my ass. Buying the game in hopes that glitches had been fixed, was leap of faith. Most had, some new ones were created. <span style="font-size: 8pt; color: #00ccff; font-family: Verdana; mso-bidi-font-s

There was another post about this. Old maps wont work. Any maps you create with the current version of Galazy Forge or maps that came with v.13 will cause the game to error out. Follow the fix above. Move all of your old maps out of both of the game folders. Hopefully, the next update to Galaxy Forge will update old maps. Devs/Mods, any ETA for the Galaxy Forge Update? <span style="color: #00cc

Sins version 1.0.0.1 and Galaxy Forge 1.0.0.0. Yep,[e digicons]:blush:[/e] , I think I see the problem. I've been playing a friends copy to see if I want to throw down the money on a new game. I guess I should any up and buy the thing. If there is a situation where someone can be too frugal, I'm it. I found Sins while looking for something to replace "Pax Emperia" and "Ma

Thanks for the advice ratchit and harpo. I just tried Harpo's instructions and attempted to open one of the random maps that came with the game. I got the same thing, no solar system. For that matter I just tried openeing several of the maps that came with the game in the C:\Program Files\Stadiock Games\Sins...\Galaxy. They are all blank. I can create a map that saves in the

Ahh, here is where I run into a problem. I create and save the map in Sins. Then I go to Galaxy Forge and open it. WHen I open it, there is no data, no star, no planets, nothing. Any ideas on what I may doing wrong?

Is it possible create a map with the Map Designer, save it, and then edit it with Galaxy Forge? If so, how?

Greetings, I was just about ready to buy my first new 4X game in years, Sins. Then I found out I have to install a downloader to get the game or get any updates. I'm VERY finicky about what goes on this computer and there are no details about how Impulse works, what it runs in the background, and what it transmits, etc... The last two downloaders I used&
