This game is honestly, digital chess.

Liar. Some of my pieces can move lengthways AND diagonally.

Considering that Chess is pretty much the "ultimate" game of strategy, and Sins aims to be a Strategy game rather than a micromanagement game, I think that's as good a compliment as any

But for comic relief, I'll ask for how you've arrived at the startling connection between a board game and an RTS

Since you don't seem to want to elaborate, I'm gonna go ahead and say the same thing about just about every other strategy/tactical game ever made. Take Counter-Strike: just like chess - except you're one of the pieces. Civilization: you're mostly moving around units, just like in chess.

What you mean to say is that Sins is a strategy game. Kudos on figuring that out!

What is the point of this thread?

I don't know, but I was amused and felt compelled to post

I actually compare this and TBS games to chess for my wife, because if she ever glances at what I'm doing, gets confused with it on a lot of levels. For example, she's used to me playing FPS games, so doesn't understand that when I say I'm "finished" with a game of Sins, it doesn't mean it goes on the shelf, never to be played again.

Maybe he is talking about multiplayer. How your opening moves can win or lose you the game before you even half way through it? Still trying to figure out which of my capital ships is the queen though

I would vote Go as the ultimate strategy game, but Iam getting off topic here

I find chess to not be ultimate, far from it. I find chess really silly game. While it has many possible moves, only one move you make at any time will lead to ultimate victory, if your opponent does not make a mistake.

Yeah Im gonna have to give Go the ultimate strategy game award as well.
