Help with Crucible strategy plz... in Demigod Stardock Forums

Loving the game, absolutely fantastic fun but... I can't seem to get past the central bottleneck area on the Crucible arena, I play Rook as I'm still learning the ropes and I find I dont last more than 2 mins with the other characters.

I've tried a few strategies like trying endlessly to get my opposition towers destroyed so my spawns can get thru but I just keep

Reply to Building factories doesn't seem to speed ship building.. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Building factories doesn't seem to speed ship building.. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

I got the impression that building factories would speed ship production and yet before building a factory on Earth the build time for a Construtor was 16 weeks, after I built a factory the time went up! Can anyone post a short but sweet guide giving the basics of what to build on a planet and how that will effect mechanics in the game. i.e if Shields = faster ship build times and Hammers = Morale

The most intuative and fluid control system ever.. in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Says it all in the title really:) Gorgeous controls and camera movement make this game an absolute pleasure to navigate. Unlike so many other games where navigation is a battle in itself, Sins actually feels like it was designed by game players. Its a joy to control! Two highlights for me....I know SupCom had this but Zooming in the direction of the cursor..ahhh...what a relief:) and the way zooming close to a ship locks your camera to it..wonderful! Good work soldiers!
