[quote who="DrAtomic1" reply="46" id="2860160"] Quoting Guibs, reply 31 So I am guessing that guys like the OP believe Sid Meier is the bane of the gaming sim industry because one day he created a game called civilization Revolution? Pathetic... Errr CivRev rocked hardore! Modern version of CIV I. The thing with it was to be able to look beyond comparing it to CIV IV. CivRev is a very good game. [/quote] <p

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="29" id="2860062"]I love the internet; any moron with a keyboard can pour their uneducated opinions out for all to read.

Ok, hopefully this won't be coming out wrong. F irst, I consider myself a casual yet fan of stardocks games. I got my first glimpse through Galactic civilization 2 and love that game. I then purchased Sins of a Solar Empire and enjoyed that game as w

I'd also like to add that I share most of the critics and wishes for improvement that the OP stated in his review. I look forward for Stardock to look into that suggestion list and add elements mentionned in his review.

Very well said. That's one of the thing I appreceate from Stardock, it's the proximity the developpers and espicially Brad has with the community.

Reply to Is the Day 0 version up yet? in War of Magic Elemental Forums

actually, if it was coming out today, it should technically be a day 1 patch because this is the first day of availability of the game. a day 0 patch would mean the patch would be available and ready BEFORE the launch of the game which is obviously not the case since the game came out today and still no patch.

Well, I was wondering about when I'd be fighting a dragon with dozen over dozen of soldiers. Really love that wallpaper. I guess that won't happen.

I played last night for about 3 hours and got about 5 game crashes at various stages of the campaign. I am running pretty recent video drivers. I have not upgraded to 1.01 yet.

Reply to TotalGaming.net is Transitioning to Impulse in TGN News Stardock Forums

Any chances of you getting The Witcher EE on TGN? That's about, right now, the only game I'd love to buy with my remaining tokens Or if my token could be converted into a rebate to buy it from Impulse, that would work for me. You mention this option (which you call gift card) is delayed because it's waiting on some time to program it into the system. Is there a way to just do it manually by contacting sales or support? I'd like to either trade my remaining token for a rebate on a game

Reply to Sins and Vista? in Technical Sins Forums

Your problem is probably related to a driver issue with your peripherals than vista itself. I'm running Vista business Edition and I play sins without a single crash so far. Make sure you download the latest drivers for vista for your different peripherals and this should really help the stability of the game.

Reply to Let us know what you'd like in v1.03 in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I'm really enjoying the game right now. Here are things I'd like to see in upcoming patches: 1- AI taking the place of human players in multiplayer (also let the host decide the "level" of difficulty of replacement AI at the start of the game so it match closely the level of the players playing. 2- a Slider that adjust the freequency of the pirates. You added 3 minutes to their countdown in 1.02, but it would still be nice if we could adjust it ourself. 3- Add more way

Reply to Should ships just stand completely still in battle? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]I think acceleration/deceleration would work a lot better and probably be simple(r) to implement. Basically when a ship gets in range, or maybe just about in range, the ship's engines will cut out and it'll "drift" into position, maybe giving it a slight random yaw and pitch so they arent in the exact direction they were facing, noticeable enough that you notice it, but subtle enough it doesnt really effect firing arcs that much. If you apply this across a fleet, the net effect would be t

[quote] I don't think people realize how big these ships are. In Return of the Jedi, the big ships were not moving much. It's the fighters that do the moving. Ever watch Babylon 5? A *frigate* in Sins is about the same size as a Hyperon class destroyer (1200m). If you look in the manual, the capital ships tend to have tens of thousands of crew on them. Think super star destroyer size. How much movement would you expect there? [/quote] Brad, in Starwars, Star

[quote]Hey folks. Just to set the stage, I've played RTS and turn-based strategy games since before the genre had a name. 15 years ago (maybe longer), I played Dune II until the wee hours in my barracks room (I was in the Army at the time). It was the first game to really grab my attention and not let go. Since then, I've gotten out of the military, gotten a real job, gotten a real life- In short, I'm much older. <IMG id=ImageResize_Image_2 src="http://images.stardock.com/smiles/Wink.gi
