You need to install the impulse program on the front page of the impulse website. Once you install the program you can register you serial number and get the game updated to 1.191.

Install the program from the site eh...  you probably get enough complaining about that around here so I'll try to avoid it.    Thanks though, I must have missed that bit somewhere.

Any advice on the mods though?  I did finally find a link to download TSOP in these forums.

If you really like the game, you can get both of the expansions for $20 at Impulse.  Heck, you really should have just purchased that to begin with.  Having the Diplomacy expansion will also save $10 on the Rebellion full-expansion download later.  One reason for getting Diplomacy is to be able to play real PvP games against human players once you've learned the game and the AI is no longer challenging or interesting.

@Ryat, thanks for the link.  I found the 7 Deadly sins v2.1 mod that works with v1.05 that seems pretty fun so far.

We'll see where I go with the game .  I actually traded my old copy of Baldur's Gate for it on swap.com.  I'm not sure if the serial code has been used or not.  I don't want to activate it myself because I might trade it later and buy the game and expansions in a few years.  Thanks for your help here though!

Right now $20 is more than I can afford.    And with this new expansion coming out I think I'll wait until they offer an even better deal.

I do have a question about this Impulse thing though that I can't find on their website clearly explained.

I usually get video games to play with my family.  My wife and I play Civilization 4 and Heroes 5 together often, and we play Wii games with our kids.  We're interested in playing SoaSE together but if I buy the game from Impluse is it going to make me pay twice to be able to install the game on our two computers so we can play over a LAN?  Or do they let you download & install it on more than one computer?

In some way, it is already a "better deal" since rebellion will be a full package ( original sins + Entrenchment+ Diplomacy + Rebellion )...

Hope that it will be released for Christmas...

As for the money side, if i divide what i have pay for sins and all expansions by the amount of hours that i have play in the last 4 years, it is one of the cheapest game that i know... specially when compare to other game that you pay 50$ for around 50 hours of play...

Because Trinity is now... Rebellion have not yet a official release date... and when the post was made, buying Trinity allowed a 10$ discount on Rebellion pre-order ( until end september )... in some way, it was like having Trinity for 10$... well, it is too late now...

It was worth buying from the beginning... now, it become a "must have"... pretty sure that with year, it will become a "classic"...

Not the first time that i read similar comment... soase seem to have a strong seduction power for "wife"... will not surprise me if soase was with a highter ratio women/men that other sci-fi space game... have always think that Diplomacy was more a women thing... Well, the huge titan from Rebellion will allow men to compensate for...

I think a simple equation will show that competitiveness is at most a minor reason for this phenomena.

Number of Women on Sins multiplayer = Total Number of women * % of women who play video games * % of women who play video games who got Sins * % of Sins players who play multiplayer

As you often say Dirty 99% of the people who play Sins don't play multiplayer, and as I'm sure far more males even purchased Sins in the first place, I don't think its much of a surprise or has anything to do with competitiveness. Though the general perceived bad multiplayer community might be an even bigger barrier to entry for the ones who do, who knows.

You were answered in the first thread you posted in, spamming the forums isn't going to help you.

Try playing multiplayer sometime, see if that axiom still holds up.
