[quote]READ THE FRONT OF THE BOX!!!!!! REAL TIME STRATEGY!!!!! [/quote] Ouch, *wince*. Yea, that's probably not good... I hadn't seen the box cover before, just what's on this website, which fairly consistently has mentioned 4X. I suspect there will be a good number of "casual" buyers that will see RTS on the box and
[quote] This clearly is not the game for you. Move on. There's no such thing as a 'quick' 4x. BUT this game is a RTS , not 4x... it does have 4x elements. [/quote] No, it's a 4x game with RTS elements. It freaking says "4X" right in Gameplay link off the home page. The first 4 gameplay items mentioned are the 4 X's of 4X gaming....
[quote]Aloha! Look here: "C:\Program Files\Stardock\TotalGaming\Sins of a Solar Empire\" You will see something named "manual" - trust me it is there. Is this not in the FAQ? I think for the next update IC should install a link on the desktop to it. [/quote] Yea, highly recommended. That's such a common thing these days I just assumed no link at install time meant no manual came with it. ...rummage through menu... Yea, a random sample o
[quote]I dunno, I think the pacing works well for this game. How long do you need to take to decide to research one thing or another? Or tell your ships where to go. It sounds like you just want another turn based strategy game. [/quote] Exactly, but no one makes TBS anymore so we have to make due with RTS. I'd really prefer an adjustable speed for single player games. I can have it go faster early, slower in general late, and at an absolue crawl if I want. Total Annihilation:
I've downloaded the game, installed, run through the tutorials, but I'd really like to read through the manual that describes some things in detail. Is the manual available for download as well?
Post like the OP's are just a clear sign to me people don't know how to read. I haven't hardly played the game, but I'd know better than to complain about those issues because I actually read the forums and game play descriptions. This game was never billed as any of the things the OP seems to think it should be. It's not an RTS, it's a realtime 4x. It's not a skirmish game either. It's an empire game. Whining it's not what it's not supposed to be is stupid, like complaining Oblivion wa
I've run the bonus pack add on, but I'm not sure what it actually adds so I'm not sure it worked. The reason I'm not positive it worked is after I click "Finish" in the final install dialog, the installer process hangs out forever in my process list. The GUI for it closes, but the process never goes away. Makes me wonder if the install finished or not, which brought me to the question of "what's in the add on?".
I went to order the Colletor's edition, but $15 shipping and handling! What the is the box made of? Pure steel? I'd love to order it, but there's no way I can justify $15 in S&H.
