Questions about Rankings in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I bought Sins shortly after it came out, but I never got round to playing until very recently (when I bought both Entrenchment and Diplomacy, at the same time); so I've never played without Diplomacy. I like everything about Diplomacy, except for the diplomatic victory condition. Whether I win a diplomatic victory or the AI does, it doesn't feel like the end of a game; and I always want to keep playing. Other than a diplomatic victory, what victory conditions are t

Weapon Types Questions in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Hi -I'm a new player. For weapon types (auto-cannon, laser, ect.), does anything matter other than average damage per second? Do these various weapon types have different ranges, rates-of-fire and other attributes? Thanks in advance

Reply to Evil Races not Colonizing like Good and Neutral Races?? -please help in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="ElZoido" reply="3" id="2469207"]You could try this. However I did have evil civs colonizing quite fine in a number of games, although they sometimes do seem to take a bit more time to do so. Maybe they just ended up with bad starting positions? [/quote] It's been happening in every game I start, so I don't think it's bad starting positions; unless they've really been consistantly unlucky. Maybe The Drengin and The Korath are only suppose to colon

Evil Races not Colonizing like Good and Neutral Races?? -please help in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I'm noticing that in my ToA 2.03 campaigns that the "evil"races (specifically the Drengin, Korath, Korx and Yor) aren't colonizing more than 1 or 2 planets during the "colony rush" phase of the game; while races like the Altarians will colonize a dozen planets. In my current campaign, the Altarians have 13 planets; while the Drengin, Korath, Korx and Yor each have 2 or 3 planets total (including their homeworld). Is this just a coincidence? or is this an every game

Reply to How do you decide where to place your ships during peacetime? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="KzintiPatriarch" reply="1" id="2418444"]Peace-time? This is an alien concept to the Kzinti! They should be placed somewhere convenient for the next war you will launch... Sentient species taste better... [/quote] but even during times of war, are you generally better off placing your fleets on your starbases or orbiting your planets? or neither? also: do you play with a mod that has races from "Federation Space"

Reply to Newbie Questions about the Different AI Races in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="CraigHB" reply="1" id="2418795"]You can assign the other races their points if you like, but they do it on their own if you don't, it just doesn't show up in the race selection screen, but the bonuses are there after you start the game. You can look for yourself by running the game in cheat mode and switching to the race using the hot-seat key combination. Look at bonuses in the stats and graphs section of the civ manager. There's some other inter

Reply to game setup for long game? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

[quote who="CraigHB" reply="15" id="2418822"]Normally, settings files are located in the program files directory, but it depends on where you told Impulse to install your games. For Twilight of the Arnor, the default location for settings files would be as follows, if I recall correctly; C:\Program Files\Stardock\Games\GalCiv2\Twilight\Data\English User specific files are normally located in; C:\Documents and Settings\ \My Documents\M

Newbie Questions about the Different AI Races in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Hi. I'm about to play ToA for the first time and I have a couple of questions: - what happens to the excess racial points of the AI empires? Should I choose their excess abilities for them? - where can I find a description of the strengths & weaknesses of the AI races? I know that they now each have their own tech tree in ToA; this combined with their own racial traits/abilities must make each of them quite different from one another. Thanks in advance </

New Player Questions about the upcoming Diplomacy Expansion in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Hi. I'm a new player and I think I'm fortunate to be starting with the Entrechment update and the latest patch. My question is: how long of a wait do you think it will be before the beta of the Diplomacy expansion is available? If it's maybe a matter of days or a couple of weeks, I might delay starting to play SoaSE until the Diploamcy beta is available; if you don't think the beta will be available for a longer time, then I might star
