See this is the thing that has driven me to the game. People hype the biggest title games and to get that hype most games come out in the same old format. Sins dares to be different and at the same time be fun. Who cares if the game doesn't get the largest community compared to the other clickfests, what matters is the community is strong and the game is fun.

I was talking more about the Ron vs Schem battle royale that seems to be going on these days.

And the fact that bunch of people have dissapeared, where are you multi?

Although a small, strong community is nice; a big, strong community is always better! While both types of communities have thier strengths and weaknesses it seems that the big community helps guarantee better support, more upgrades, draws in more new players, and sustains more longevity than a small community.

So if this game is as good as its hype, be sure to tell everyone!

This game I've been watching on and off for best part of 3 years now, its always attracted my interest, before, but for reasons both personal and in the development cycle there are large pauses, I did lose track of it a couple of times.

What helps a community is developers that listen to the fan base, I see a lot of that from Ironclad, so I thought I would add my 2p as well.

With the fact that games can be saved and reactivated at a later date, what would be a really cool and useful function.........

I've played many turn based games, where you can Save the game mid flight, and pick it up later, usually we'd meet up once a week for an hour.

All the games had a major flaw, I have the attention span of a flea, I can never remember what I was doing before the game was quit last time. What would really be nice is an option to have the game play back 5 mins say of the game for reviewing purposes, so you can get back into the grove and see what you was trying to do before you quit, and then with 30 seconds to go say something like "battlefield control is about to be released..... 10, 9, 8 .... 3, 2, 1" and then the game starts.

I know there are alot of others out there that have the same issue. Who would use this feature? Of course you can make it optional, but I just feel that would help players re-intergrate into a game that they perhaps had not been playing for a few weeks, it will stop that initial 5-10 gap you get when picking up the pieces of the game.

Thoughts.

Fair enough I must just be slow....

Maybe a notes system or something like that would be nice for Dunces like me

Yea agreed a replay function would be nice, rewind and speed controls also, maybe they have already thought of it... It does seem the norm in RTS's these days

Already in

yap...

teh pure genius!

What?!

Since when was a rewind feature possible?! Last I checked, rewind controls were pretty much imppossible!

He was probably referring to the replay system in general, not rewind specifically

To clarify, Sins does not have a rewind feature. It does have replays, but they move forward only, not back (since the game is just restepping through the players' actions, not recording a video).

Supreme Commander failed because of the massive amounts of micro needed for each and every game, as well as the time requirements. (I have the game and the expansion) The base building was a massive and monotonous undertaking, even with the "prebuilt" base option where you could save your base layout. You had to have one for practically each map, otherwise the terrain would mess you up.

This paired with the massive system requirements to run it without lag (Try a 8 player skirmish with a 500 unit cap, tell me when you get to the slide show)

Finally, for every endgame it was a experimental rush, which needed about 30 minutes per experimental if you were slow, and about 5-10 if you were good at managing your economy.
