Looks like Guild Wars with a few more trees... they should probably jump ship on that engine, they risk being left behind... unless there are some serious differences from GW1. *disappointed*
I have seen too much first hand crazy stuff that happens to the "have nots" when it comes to health care...people cutting growths out of their own chest with their college biology scalpels, or enlisting in the military just for the health benefits, or how about the fact that my daughter waited until the cyst was the size of a large cantaloupe and was pressing against her liver causing excruciating pain before she let me drag her to the hospital? Sorry to hea

The military pronouncement states: "The key to using the army is to first investigate the enemy's situation. Look into his granaries and armories, estimate his food stocks, divine his strenghts and weaknesses, search out his natural advantages, and seek out his vacuities and fissures." Thus if the state does not have the hardship of an army in the field yet is transporting grain, it must be suffering from emptiness. If the people have a sickly cast, they are impoverished. If they
There's nothing I outright preferred in the vanilla Sins to go back to it... IMO, Entrenchment improved the game in about every aspect and overall has a better since of offensive and defensive balance [though Im sure plenty here would find a cause to disagree]. Last time I probably played it was for about 5 minutes by accident at 3am. Missed the Entrenchment link ;) Dr.Gonzo

You can however, I believe, change the 'spawn' settings for things like planet perks and artifacts. 3: Yes-- I believe the easiest way is to simply open the properties page of the planet you don't want anything around and uncheck "Use Default Planetary Template" [or something of that sort] 4: Weighted means it's not a guarantee of a spawn of

First 3 "partitions" of the game and now no LAN. Sorry guys- you just got aboard the fail boat. Dr.Gonzo PS: Im not modding a game for what should come out of the box. More and more it just looks like Starcraft with gloss-- some new unit abilities-- Im not putting up with this nonsense to replay something I played in high school.

For Entrenchment it turns out the galaxy.manifest has to be changed to reflect the map addition if it's not located in some fubar hidden directory. [Seriously, whoever thought of that, should be shot-- probably someone at MS... I dunno, who ever it was- shoot them] I got sick of the same thing so I wrote a little program in C++ that would modify the [galaxy.manifest] file appropriately. https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/354753 Might help, might not-- DrGonzo</

Wasn't EA just the publisher? They're not going to have any clue what the hell is wrong... unless it's something wrong with the media it came on-- or the installer maybe? Something on their end. Other than that, they just printed the discs, manuals and boxes as far as I know. If EA put the wrench time in on the game it wouldn't run at all, for anyone. Dr.Gonzo
