I didn't have a problem playing iTunes in the background with Entrenchment yesterday. Unfortunately I don't know why you did and I did not.

When I went to Impulse and clicked on My Games, sure enough Entrenchment was there waiting for me and all I had to do was select Download. Hope it works as easily for you.

Don't rush to build two of each kind of lab. That uses resources you don't have early in the game, or that woud be better used for more ships early on.

Reply to Questions about fleets in Strategy Sins Forums

Thanks, It still bugs me to have all my ships flying around "re-forming" fleet in the middle of a battle. Wish I knew if that time that seems to be wasted is actually useful or not. Or, when a battle starts would I do better to get all of my ships out of the fleet and let them fight on their own and re-from the fleet after the battle. I have to believe that an organized fleet will fight more efficiently, but wish I knew if that was true or not.

Reply to Anyone else find this game damn near impossible? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I only play single player and really like it. I don't know how you get out of the predicament in your particular game. But in a new game, if I play wiith unlocked teams, I try to become allied with at least one other player by performing the missions. Usually I pick a player with a homeworld near to mine. As soon as I get over 50% favorable rating I enter a cease fire and go from there. On a 4 team map, one ally seems to be plenty. If I don't want to be b

Questions about fleets in Strategy Sins Forums

I have questions about fleets. I am pretty new to the game, and play only single player. I started playing small maps and the smaller medium maps, and have only rarely felt the need to create a fleet. I don't micro battles (other than some focus fire from time to time with LRM's on vulnerable cap ships) and don't want to start. I generally defeat hard AI, but they are an entertaining match for me and once in a while they surprise me and I lose. I am going to star

Reply to demo crashed windows ! in Technical Sins Forums

I can't speak to the SINS demo overseas, but clearly the problem is not with the demo generally. I have played the demo downloaded from one of the reputable US sites that has it and it has worked great. If you are thinking about buying Sins I strongly recommend the demo.

Reply to Anyone playing on a Mac in Windows mode? in Technical Sins Forums

I generally use a desktop PC for Sins, but did load it onto a bootcamp partition (Windows XP) on my MacBook (2GB of Ram). Runs great! Then for the fun of it I tried it using Fusion...that didn't work, but I didn't expect it would :p

Reply to Time limted demo: classic strategic blunder by Ironclad/Stardock in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

As someone who has been waiting for the demo to come out, I'm very happy with the 90 minute limit. While getting a full game for free would have been nice ;) , 90 minutes should give me plenty of time to see if I like the game, and if I do, I will gladly buy a copy.
