Yep. Turns out mediafire is incompatible with something called a "web accelerator", which my (satellite) ISP keeps turned on as a default setting. I disabled it and the download started right away.
The download isn't working for me. " The download1592.mediafire.com page isn’t working download1592.mediafire.com redirected you too many times. Try clearing your cookies . ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECT
I can dig that it's really just the taxable population that goes to zero, it's just that I'd rather have something that looks and feels more like a rebellion and less like the effects of a horrible plague. I've sometimes wondered why Sins doesn't have cultural conquest the same way other games with culture do. It seems to counter someone's ideas about what sort of game they want. I also agree that it would make sense to have envoys be agents of c
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="8" id="2916094"]How does it work? People create backstories for their races and then try to stay in character? Does it just become a big chat session (like Dungeons and Dragons characters sitting on benches at the town square chatting) or do people actually play the RTS element of it? (All this talk about RPG-ing tempts me to get back into Neverwinter Nights.)[/quote] Skullport was a fun PW. Yay, evil! [e digicons]}:)[
[quote who="DirtySanchezz" reply="5" id="2915462"]Maybe you guys will be in luck if Rebellion revitalizes Sins. Maybe someone will make a Sins RPG mod and a Sins RPG community will spring up.[/quote] What, like where you play a ship captain and captains level up like they did in MOO2? Hah! I'd play it.
[quote who="Brazilian_Joe" reply="12" id="2911409"]TEC - ring station The station is not hand-placeable, it is always automatically placed at the center of the gravwell, and is pretty much comprised of a man-made , erm, ring station, making one turn around the whole planet. It focuses on planetary defense, but is so big it can house a large colony in it. Upgrades: weapons: 0 - short range powerful lasers 1 -
It always bugged me a bit that when planetary allegiance reaches zero, so does the planetary population. That's not rebellion to me. If too many people in your empire are watching the enemy's version of VH1, does everyone kill themselves? I know that the planet is supposed to be 'lost to the empire' but for all intents and purposes it's just plain dead. And Rebellion is what the expansion is supposed to be all about, right? I think it'd be much more fun
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="130" id="2913523"]Well, can you download it somewhere else? Library or a friend? Then you can do that and save it on a usb stick and just install at home.[/quote] If I understand the way Stardock works correctly, you have to download it onto the system that your game is installed to. I don't think it allows for just downloading the file as one nice chunk saveable to disc with a self-extractor or something.
[quote who="Annatar11" reply="99" id="2903589"] Now, I have one question. Is there going to be a retail/box version? I've seen a lot of speculation, but nothing from the developers. They only thing SD said is that they're not sure if there will be a boxed version or not, haven't made a decision.[/quote] If there is no boxed version, I may not be able to purchase this. I have the money and I definitely want it, but my bandwidth per month
Ya know, looking at the high resolution pics of the titan, it looks almost like parts of it are articulated or mobile in some way. http://images.phxxgaming.com/images/129907603287_ca_Sins_Rebellion.jpg Perhaps it can bring all of its weapons on those arm-things to bear on one target. Or perhaps it just transforms into Megatron.
Yes. Yes, I would imagine in multiplayer it would get more complicated. I've attempted multiplayer but my satellite internet just isn't up to it. You may note that in the referred to post I point out that I play single player. The last part of your post seems to imply that I enjoy playing a sort of rigged or unfair game which is too easy. Perhaps I misunderstand but the tone seems rather insulting. People say the pirates are too hard. I point out how to deal with them. If you
I still seem to be the only person here who likes having the pirates on. I typed up my strategy as regards pirates in this post: https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/386950 The strategy works for me. The pirates work for me. I don't usually fight them until near end-game, and then I do it just for the sake of having another planet or if I don't want to have to think about the pirate timer. Remember, if the sword is b
[quote who="MailBoxAssassin" reply="34" id="2695046"]Everyone here need to head on over to GOG.com. Enjoy, oh and Crusader no remorse, and Crusader no regret. Awesome games... I love my dosbox![/quote] Nice site. I didn't know about it before. +1 karma. I like how all their games have been made XP and Vista compatible. It's too bad they don't have more games.

Too bad about the 3rd one being a letdown and killing the series. DOOM!

[quote who="DirtySanchezz"]You must have been on Diplomacy. Yes, most games are played with the Fast or Faster setting. Faster feels pretty fast when you're first getting used to it. It slows down later in the game once lots of ships are out. The benefit of the faster speed setting is that it reduces the amount of time needed to play a game online, which, when you're talking about games that could last 2 hours, is a concern.[/quote] Yep, diplomacy. And unfortun
Well. I got on Ironclad just after posting that. After about 10 minutes, someone appeared and asked to play 1v1. I told him I was a noob so he offered us v AI. Sure, I says. My ping was a bit iffy but I figured it was worth a shot. As soon as we start playing it becomes apparent that he has it set on 'faster'. ARG. I'm not used to that, and I was lagging to begin with. Maybe that's what he normally plays on? We played for a little while, and I was sort of starting to ge
I've decided to try my hand at multiplayer again, too. I played one game, once, like a year ago. Maybe more. It wasn't a horrible experience--more like neutral. There were 2 other players, and nobody said much. It was FFA. One guy quit when he realized how big the other guy's fleet was attacking him, and after a few battles I conceded since I was clearly going to lose. The guy who won wasn't too keen on giving pointers, but he wasn't rude. It's just I'm very iffy on playing with stran
Is there any visual indicator that the pirate will be attacking you? If the pirates are already after someone, there will be a scimitar by their name on the pirate screen. Does outbidding the current bidder entice the pirate to attack someone else? Yes. What does the horizontal bar indicate under the bid amount? That sounds like you're referring to the 15 minute pirate countdown. At the end of every 15 minutes (e
You can't go back once you've researched supply levels, but there is a way to get more fleet for your buck. If you're TEC and allied, or allied with a TEC, the supply pact (maximum level pact) is very, very nice. If you lose the pact you get to keep the extra ships you've built with it, but you can't replace their numbers.
1. Yes 2. If someone breaks it, they still have to wait a while before attacking you. 3. One to each of his planets. 4. I don't play multi. 5. Absolutely.
