i've played aobut 5 or so games. i've got beaten every time but still enjoyed it. you really need to a have a good gaming crew, all who have read the rules before hand. the quickest game we had was 6 hours and that was with using streamlined start up and pre-picked victory point conditions. check boardgamegeeks for more views. and deffinately get shattered suns (?) expansion, makes things a lot smoother. i actually played galciv2 after TE and was kinda

Reply to Circular Realm of Gravity Well in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

hi, not entierly sure what you mean by control points, but if you hold shift whilst moving you can stack, also works for attack. e.g. you tell your bombarding ships to move to somwhere safe, then shift right click the planet and they'll start attacking when they get there. as for the benifits of moving them out side the gravity well, i means you can jump out quickly if needed, you should really be doin

Reply to question about UK price for Sins: Entrenchment in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Reply to Stuff you guys take for granted...? in Strategy Sins Forums

these are just a few things i neglected when i started and really improved my game once i understood. first thing that came to mind was scouts. it's really important to know what's going on so you can counter effectively and strike in weak spots, so always make sure you've got a few of them around. other things would be: making sure you planets aren't costing you (hovering over credits counter shows production at all palnets, red is bad) by upgrading civ structures.<br
