Reply to Diplomacy Pacts in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I don't like the way the pacts are being handled in this version. It just seems like a lot of work for too little. In almost all of my games I haven't even bothered to research any of them, because it's pretty much a win-more kind of ability. If I'm doing well, I research these, set up a pact, then recieve what I wish I could have recieved earlier. But as they stand they don't seem to work as intended, at least to me.

Reply to 120 seconds for 30 seconds? Really in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

The devs said that the envoy ship is not meant to start relations, it's to continue them. You have to get a ceasefire first or the ship isn't worth much. In that sense, the cooldown is fine. And that's probably what they're aiming for, instead of a completely neutral ship that can force alliances.

Reply to [Suggestion] Trading Planets in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="Yarlen" reply="17" id="2469991"]In Sins, all the human (Trader) worlds are independent and have their own forms of government (the neutral worlds). Some of the larger ones control multiple planets, whereas most are solitary. When the Vasari arrived, the Trade Order realized that they had to form a tighter government for mutual defense or face extinction - which is the TEC (Trader Emergency Coalition). By the time of Entrenchment and Diplomacy, the Trader worlds are realizing that

Reply to [Suggestion] Trading Planets in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

Regarding the Canon of Sins, how out of canon would it be to trade planets with at least your own faction? I'm sure the multiple Advent groups wouldn't mind as much, since they are all one in the Unity. And the Vasari won't be there long anyway, so they shouldn't mind sharing a bit more. It's only slaves, after all. And the TEC trades all the time, this would be no different. I can understand why you don't want to do it, but I don't think it was in the original canon fo

[quote who="MasonOfSparta" reply="2" id="2459676"]As of now you'll need to each have an embassy to give/accept these pacts. We'll be changing that very soon.[/quote]I'm sure this is how it's supposed to work, but I had this with a friend and it still gave us the reported problem.

Reply to Problem With the Pacts in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

I was part of this game, and we did have everything that seemed to be needed. All I lacked was the counter-espionage stuff. Also, are you supposed to be able to have more than one of those three? We could only propose one of them.

Reply to The Importance of Embassies in Sins Diplomacy Sins Forums

[quote who="Surumon" reply="4" id="2457510"]I think abilities for Embassies aren't implemented yet - I recall reading that they were going to have special abilities after you create them. As to their current immediate benefit, they provide +10% relations with an AI just for dropping one on their planet.[/quote] I hope this is true, because as they stand they're quite pointless. When I built my first embassy, I expected some new options to appear if I selected their planet. Hopef

Mini Dump after saving in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

I've been playing a continuous game for 4 hours, and just recently whenever I make a manual save the game has crashed. The last crash was right after I had loaded the save, and was interacting with XFire when it broke. This is my first report, so what information should I supply?

Reply to Google Chrome in Personal Computing GalCiv2 Forums

I've been using Chrome since I heard about it, and love it. Although I'm sure most of the things that I love about it can probably be applied in FF (which I also use), it helps to have something that is minimalistic, especially on my EeePC. The smaller and faster things are, the better. And with all the screen space that's now open, I can see more of a page. But on my desktop, I'll probably always use FF.

Reply to Diplomacy is kind of weak...... in Twilight of the Arnor GalCiv2 Forums

I agree that Diplomacy should be improved. But I can't agree on the borders part of what you were saying. If you don't want people in your territory, then by all means lock them down. I know that in my last game, just for fun, I positioned ships along my entire border, just to keep out what I didn't want. If you don't put in the effort to stop people from wandering through your space (which, as they say, is big), then there shouldn't be any problem. If you want a RL example, look at the US lo

Economy confusion in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

All right, I'm very confused here, so maybe you guys can help. I'm playing through my game, almost at the end, and I'm making about 6000 bc a turn, usually closer to 6500. And then, within 2 turns, I'm making -200. Any ideas what could cause this? The only major thing that changed is I took a couple worlds that I used to control back. If you want to know any more, just ask. I really want to get a win out of this, but running out of money won't help.

Reply to IDEA: Pirates in Beta Feedback Sins Forums

Personally, I'm fine with how the Pirates act now, it's the name for them that bugs me. If they renamed it to Mercenaries then it would make a lot more sense. Mercenaries would still go after a bounty on a nation, and would want to mass attack just to mess up a system however they wanted.

Reply to Complaint: Silliness in Bug Reports GalCiv2 Forums

Personally, the word mature doesn't fit this context. It's just a different style, like the difference of seriousness between Star Trek and Star Wars. Trek tries to be more realistic in ways Wars never would try. Because of that, many Trekkies don't like Star Wars, and in many cases vice versa. It depends on what you like. Yes, a more serious style would be cool, but it doesn't fit the rest of the game. Especially taunts such as 'Good work, you cheese-eating surrender monkey!' and other

Reply to A Stargate Total Conversion Mod in Modding GalCiv2 Forums

I have an idea relating to the stargate use. Instead of one specific thing you can do with your SG team, there could be deactivate buildings, recruit people to your side (Kinda like the information invasion, but maybe they get some other bonus or something), or other such abilities. That way it wouldn't always be the exact same thing.
