I don't completely agree with the glass cannons. That leaves a more defensive demigod like Oak open. And if you can kill a minion in two hits it'll be faster than you can kill low level zerg. But minions are just like the zerg, only the have a cost. If you ask me minions should take a percentile buff like you said. But they should also have their gold cost lowered or have generals get more money to pay for them. Even the level 2 and 3 minions are decent, but with the cost yo

Great ideas, and karma is working if you veiw this from impulse, just look for his username and recent posts on impulse if you want to give it to him/her based on this. I especially like the tower upgrades. Combined with oak (assuming it isn't 1 v 1) it can create an unstoppable defensive line.
No, and I'm seeing that I tend to plan ahead implicitly, but I have yet to actually take the citadel upgrades into consideration unless I die. There really needs to be an incentive to go back there and have strategies when buying.
Yeah, I've been thinking the same thing, but for every update. It's annoying to go into the manual and see wrong values, and as far as I know it wouldn't take much just to update that.
I uninstalled entrench and sins, then I deleted every file of sins that I had, then I reinstalled sins and entrench through impulse and I'm fine.
Actually, as far as I know all generals do have atleast the smallest form of CC.
I found out through playing some more that the q and e keys rotate the camera, but I would like it if I could also rotate it by holding down the right mouse button like almost every other RTS I play.
What I meant by button mashing is that I just play how I feel in that second, no planning ahead or anything. And I do play against other people, I usually end up winning too, which sorta scares me.
Most of it seems good, the only problem I have is the antifaction part. That's the core essence of this game's story. Take that away and you're left with Sins of a Solar Empire.
A lot of these posts are about specific things. I wanted to post about my feeling of the game overall. I know this is just the beginning of Beta 3, but bare with me. I've been playing for about a month and ever since I started until now, the way I play feels like I'm button mashing through a fighter. I just can't grasp any real concept of strategy. Part of this is because of the bad frame rates, but I still can't see any real strategies forming. The only thing I've heard that really f
It would be nice if we could turn off the opening sequence like we can in Sins. It would be even nicer if we could watch it without restarting the game. Not a biggie, but something nice to spice up the game.
When you look at the game options and you're not hosting it shows the options for your last game unless your host changes something. This isn't a huge deal, but not something I'd ship with, and it made me think we were playing dominate when we were playing conquest.
Fun, it says I'm evil.
You're not alone in being different. I'm an anime and video game fan who loves to read, find out everything I can about everything (in other words what you're doing with your college), who plans on learning tons of things I'll never use just so I have the knowledge. Now if only I had money.

Well, if the code is there you could probably disable the error message and then be able to play LAN, but the code probably isn't there.
[quote who="LurkerLito" reply="14" id="2082378"]Hmmm I just installed this patch and now I can't play. It keeps crashing in Vista64 Ultimate. I guess I should try uninstalling and reinstalling it. [/quote] try running in compatibility
I haven't checked this out on other maps yet due to time (and skill :P), but when I die on crucible the camera is stuck at a -2/pi radians angle compared to the default setting. I can zoom in and out, but it doesn't let me change the angle at all. (for those who don't feel like converting, 2/pi radians = 90 degrees, just havin a little fun) Edited pie, I have no idea why I spelled it like that.
The fact that you could use her mainly as a caster before was a problem, however I cannot comment on much else.
[quote who="Fiztandantibus" reply="3" id="2067892"]Damn bugs.... use insecticide and we will have a good build (silly joke but its fruit of my impatience I so can't wait) [/quote] actually, the term bug was originally because a moth got stuck inside of a psuedo computer (the mechanical parts it had keeps it from the definition of a true computer) and the all mighty Grace Hopper had to take it out
there's another unofficial, yet more official thread on the release date of 3, and so far they say they haven't heard anything
Well I'm having fun in the not fun beta, so I can't wait to see how it should be. You don't have to worry about the not fun beta anyway. By the time you download it it'll probably have already switched to Beta 3.
Beta will close soon (I don't have an exact date), but I do know that it will atleast be open for the rest of the week.
[quote who="Gerry" reply="5" id="2066558"]So the quality and longetivity of a game should be sacrificied so they can save some costs in making the game? [/quote] No, just don't expect them to go and spend so frivilously. It's not like their wallets are as bottomless as the US treasury.
Really good idea! +1 karma if I can get the thing to work.
