Maybe you are referring to Nixie Pixel...I've seen her online a couple times in ages past. She reviews games and likes Sins. As for regular players on ICO, who knows -- there are probably a few out of the hundreds of players online at any given time, but they most likely don't want to be harassed and keep it to themselves.
FFA tends to play to Vasari strengths as most people dig in rather than waste their energy in early wars. Vasari at endgame gets the best toys, so you generally want to kill them off early.
All points are good, just wanted to mention that while the Disciples might counter the Iconus, he is going to lose them pretty fast against massed Illums, which is what the other guy reportedly had. And the flak was to discourage corvettes raiding his carriers, not bombers. He said he was being harassed by corvettes.
Use bombers and guard your carriers with flak. Illuminators don't really have enough range. Or make your own Iconus and try to do the same back to your opponent.
Vasari voices are no big deal...it is mostly low pitches and growls. Some of the Advent voices are so shrill I become instantly annoyed.
Made a simple mod this morning where I replaced the Advent voice files with Vasari voice files. Had to make a couple judgement calls where ships were the same, but fast and dirty, it works. Played a couple test games including one online. Works great. Haven't tested all the situations explicitly -- replaced 367 files -- but haven't had a problem yet. Thanks for the pointer GoaFan!
Thx Goafan, I will have to take a look at that .... anyone have an Advent sound conversion? =)
Haha, I was just thinking about this the other day. Not how to make a mod, but how I would try playing Advent more if I could handle listening to their angry inhaled helium girl scout voices for hours. Question for you modding experts, If I used alternate sound files for Advent, would I be able to play multiplayer games with them assuming nothing else was changed, or would the different sound files create a checksum problem that prevented me from playing with others who
Good thing Maw is largely ineffective if people split up their fleets all over the place and keep em moving while the bombers go to town.
[quote who="Furball-09" reply="415" id="3364227"] Sorry but I have to ask: Desperation (Vorastra Titan) no longer affects Corvettes; duration decreased from 45 to 15. The Maw (Vorastra Titan) no longer affects Corvettes; max target count reduced from unlimited to 15/30. Dissever (Kultorask Titan) no longer damages Corvettes. Is there some reason why corvettes are essentially immune to the most powerful titan attacks the vasar
I think the core story could have been interesting, that the main character learns he is a clone working for the bad guy, and I agree, they could have explored this a bit more, but they were too busy making it an action movie. Here are things that I think are stupid: 1. An alien entity powerful enough to shatter the moon, that can make killer robotic drones, and is knowledgeable enough to both clone humans and erase their memories doesn'
I already wrote a couple times that I simply lose the asteroid to the egg, kill the orky, then chase down the egg. You are the one who fails at reading comprehension. This played out twice with Sagewon. The last time I tried a different strategy purely because I can get the migrator on location faster than an Egg so that it was building at the soonest possible moment. I'm pretty confident the only way an Orky rush succeeds is because the other player doesn't ex
[quote who="Turchany" reply="345" id="3361478"] Quoting Timmaigh, reply 334I guess by the time high level Vorastra comes into action, more often than not the PvP game is pretty much underway, perhaps with some players beaten already and one team basically winning. Now if the VL player is on that winning team, he s winning anyway, vorastra or not. If he is on the losing team, the Vorastra is certainly not going to turn the tide of the game. Or are you saying you can go 1v2 or even
I would never throw any type of LF against an already built Orky unless I had crushing numbers. It would upgrade faster than you could kill it otherwise. We were just talking about rush situations. The egg being in the gravity well is irrelevant unless the egg goes nano-disassembler and starts eating disciples to make your life harder. I actually rushed faster by not waiting for my Egg which was colonizing the asteroid. If the Egg is there, it CAN kill the as
OK, so beta is in fact in its own lobby....that makes sense, just wondered.
Is the Sins beta in its own lobby or something? Or is there REALLY no one online?? Logged in after ages to check out the beta and only 6 people on ICO.
Yeah, I agree that the amount of ships is a big part of it. While not having enough video / cpu power to render is one problem, games lag with big fleets even if you are panned way out. Adding corvettes to the game did not help lag. One game I played someone made like 800 corvettes and there was a 2 second lag every time he gave his fleet a move order.
MOO2 & CIV4BtS for me as well. Two games that just kept bringing me back again and again over the years.
Where is the black market in Sins? Like seriously, where are those infinite stores of metal and crystal? Hehe...I asked a couple times during the early expansions for an option to turn off the black market, or make it a purely closed market where you could only buy what had been sold into the market. I think it would have added an interesting strategic element to the game. Of course, it would have completely screwed anyone who couldn'
I'm suspect the original poster will find the 3 month delay on these last two posts informative.
There are no campaigns in Rebellion or the original Sins, it is essentially a "skirmish" only game -- you CAN set up maps that are pretty epic in scope and take several sittings to play through. The game builds on the original in the sense that Rebellion contains all of the features of the original while adding new ones, but does not include the original game. There isn't much reason to play the original once you have Rebellion, unless you specifically dislike new features,
The Vorastra Maw ability can be largely countered by just splitting your carriers up into a bunch of little groups. Yeah, it is a pain in the butt, but the Vorastra has no way to counter carriers all over the place..before long it will have to flee or die since it can't outrun bomber spam. Also, the Vorastra is slow to turn and aim...even when I have jumped it right into perfect position to get some carriers, often it will refuse to lock on in time before they can move o
