Reply to Pre-order Discount for Sins: Rebellion Ends this Month in Sins News Sins Forums

[quote]I'm not going to hold my feedback just because they might not like it. I'd much rather do what I can to be sure that Rebellion is as good as it can be. Telling them it looks great or just keeping silent when I just don't think it's going that direction isn't going to help. But, well, this is a matter of opinion and all that. As for IC, they said in an interview somewhere a while ago that they're working on something not Sins related. Edit:

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="37" id="2999034"]For the record, while Stardock Entertainment is doing the heavy lifting in terms of programming time and art for Rebellion, we are working very closely with Ironclad Games on the project. The design, lore, look of the new content, etc. all derives from Ironclad. It is a collaboration between both companies and have regular back & forth on everything.[/quote] Neat. Is Ironclad working on another project at the same ti

[quote who="Kitkun" reply="34" id="2999001"]Ironclad isn't doing Rebellion. They didn't do Diplomacy either. And neither company has the kind of track record of Valve's games. Ironclad has one game and one 'micro-expansion'. They've been up to bat once and hit a home run, but that doesn't mean their career is going to be spectacular. And Stardock's last big release was E:WoM. A game which lost people their jobs and which they had to promise a lot of

[quote who="Itharus" reply="32" id="2998860"] Quoting Thrawn2787, reply 31Why announce you won't buy it and you feel there is a lack of content? Leave the forums then if you aren't interested Because people have the right to voice dissent as well as approval. Some of those people are people who have been with the game and involved in the community for a very long time. That is a telling thing. There are other games launching later this year

What is the point of asking the same question that they keep answering all over the forums? You realize that they aren't even to the 'in-house' alpha level yet right? 'Immediate' ... not threatening language at all. [/quote] &nbs

Reply to Multplayer desync in Technical Sins Forums

Odd indeed. It seemed like in the last game that desynced that the AI gave the pirates a mission (I didn't know they could do that) that was headed for Kiernycs home. He was complaining because he thought it was a raid at one of his planets that was undefended, but the pirates kept going so he thought it was a mission from an AI. While he was talking about the pirates I kept looking for them and didn't find anything, so we realized there was a desync But t

[quote who="Admiral_Kiernyc" reply="1" id="2956451"]Yes it is quite annoying and strange. Especially since we don't know when it desynced and for all we know we were playing different games for hours! Suggestions would be helpful and nice![/quote] Yeah and what makes it even more confusing is that our moves are the same, it's just the AI that get desynced (I think)

Multplayer desync in Technical Sins Forums

Hey guys, Well Kiernyc and I still play Sins from time to time after all these years, and occasionally we get desyncs (or "the space time continuum is messed up again" as we like to call it). We do get these when uses mods and when not using mods, the latest time it happened we were using a slightly modified Distant Stars mod. We are both using the latest version of Diplomacy with Entrenchment. We both saved it as different names, so we can upload those if need be. Plea

Anyways I think that Adventuring/Magic should both be able to (or atleast magic) support your economy if you don't have a good start like this one (100 gildar per tern, among other things fairly fast) [img]http://i119.photobucket.com/albums/o145/thrawn2787/goodstart.jpg?t=1279773110[/img] Alot of people are probably going to want to do conquest victories (at least online), so that's why I say there should be ways to have a decent economy with a st

Reply to Game Mechanics: The Ultimate Balancing Act in Elemental Dev Journals Elemental Forums

Brad you keep mentioning the RTM version, my question is, do review sites review the RTM or day 0 version? Things might be bad if they don't update And magic / adventuring are a bit... well overpowered? You can rush them and your enemies will never know (though they will know that you're conquering all their cities if you chose conquest) And diplomatic capital still confuses me as to what it does and how much of it you need to win
