As for the other replies about the AI becoming self aware... I'm not so concerned about SINS... but I also play Sims2 a lot.... that's the one that scares me... Talk about playing God in your own little personal parallel universe.... What if all of this we perceive as reality is just a giant cosmic Sims game???? [e digicons]8C[/e]

I didn't see this posted anywhere else.... has anyone else had one or more players AI just sort of stop??? I'm currently playing a 6 player FFA, one of each race, all on cruel, and about 15 minutes into the game the TEC and Advent Loyalists stopped doing anything. It's been over an hour now and nothing..... weirdest thing. Not sure if it's a bug or what.....

[quote who="Brazilian_Joe" reply="7" id="3245249"]Yeah just_jim, but that's a best case scenario. Using the very best defensive race, and having time to set up proper defenses. Now, under most circumstances, a 2v1 battle is already a killer. I am just pondering on how could we have other defensive options to help fending off Titans, without the uninventive option of just nerfing them all.[/quote] Understood... But in this case, I was not just nerfing th
OK, my question is, where are you fighting? Are you in a strategic location? If you are the Advent, are you playing in a gravity well under your culture, so you can reap the benefits? Or the TEC loyalists, are you defending your own gravity well??? I've reciently survived a 3-on-1 titan attack. But I was playing the TEC loyalist in my own gravity well, and had two starbases as backup, as well as the best planetary defence grid&nb
OMG... thank you! I needed these!!! I haven't been able to get my copy of rebellion to convert to text for some reason... you just saved me a bunch of frustration!!!

One thing I haven't seen mentioned is hiring the pirates... which I like to do on occasion for something like a diversionary attack. It's a good tactic, but at the same time it gives your opponent a chance to gain levels faster, so you have to use it wisely.... otherwise you might build your opponants titan's lvl's faster than your own... it's very much a double edged sword tactic. Personally I like the pirates the way they a
OK, now I'm starting to think I need to write and record a "Troll" song... the project I'm working on is already fantasy based, so I don't think it would be terribly hard to add one more into the mix... [e digicons]:-"[/e]

OK, fine... I give up. No matter what I say, how I say it, it appears someone is gonna take issue with it. So be it, I said what I said, and my only regret is deleting the original comment and not leaving it where it was. I'm gonna be busy recording flute and drum tracks this afternoon and all next week, and I'm most likely not have time to play on here. You all want to continue to argue about it, fine...

[quote who="GoaFan77" reply="33" id="3228996"]Quoting just_jim, reply 32 OK, this is just fiction on my part... but wouldn't it make a cool story about the Advent Rebels if that's what happened? A portion of the original Advent group mind somehow seperated and morphed or corrupted into a hive mind??? That would make them a little more scary... Meh. I don't find the Advent truly terrifying (of course I'm not a TEC soldier), and I don't
[quote who="LupusVir" reply="31" id="3228911"]In a story called "The Long Chase", one of the last free minds in the solar system is fleeing from a huge group mind. She believes that her freedom of thought will be taken from her. When she realizes that escape is futile, she alters her mindset to not be averse to being assimilated. She is brought in, and realizes that each individual is still themselves, but connected to everyone else. This is what the Unity i

OK, I need to revise this.... I'm just gonna say I like things the way they are.... Thank you Ironclad... I absolutely love Rebellion!
One thing I would like to point out, is that the Advent Rebels left because of their devotion to the Unity, not because they've fractured away from it.... According to the upgraded players manual, the Rebels feel the Unity has become corrupted, and that this sickness should be purged... So in many ways they could be looked at not as "rebels", but as much more fanatical members of the unity than the Loyalists.... So this apparently didn't spawn from a desire to sepera
