Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think if you have the reg code that came with the DVD, you can just download the game.

Reply to is 128GB of RAM enough? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Heh, with 128GB of RAM, you might as well just pre-load your entire HDD into RAM.

Of course, we're probably talking about nine months or so in the future. Methinks the OP will have expired by then.

[quote]if you want more of a challenge, go against multiple hard AIs in locked teams.You mean unlocked teams, right? A FFA against unlocked teams will allow the enemy AI to team up against you (and this is pretty much guaranteed to happen). Locked teams will remain individual, and so fight amongst each other at least somewhat....Unless you mean a 2 v 1 type game, with 2 locked AI? I imagine that would be quite tough, particularly mid-game.[/quote] That's exactly what I mean - set yourse

Reply to When can we buy it in Europe in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

They are still looking for a European distributor, I think. So if you know someone who's a CEO over there, you should bug them :)

Reply to Is there no demo version ? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

This game is about 900-ish MB, if I recall correctly. I don't know if the demo will be any smaller...

I think that's normal for when they're in resource mode.

Reply to Why doesnt the Advent have a refinery? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]your not so bright are ya? 2 ports, 1 for cash 1 for resources[/quote] Nice gratuitous insult. But if you actually read my post, you'd see that I never said you could only have one port. We won't even go into the painful irony part.

Reply to For those who don't like the RTS aspect of Sins, an alternative... in Games Sins Forums

Looks okay, but I'd much rather play Twilight of the Arnor. Assuming Frogboy can stop giggling about Sins' success long enough to finish it :)

Reply to Running Sins on a Laptop in Technical Sins Forums

It ran fine on my laptop. Well, aside from Vista problems :/

Yes.

Reply to No very hard setting? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

These guys pride themselves on not making cheating AI levels (i.e. no bonus resources, faster construction etc.) So it's not as easy for them as it is for other developers, who can just crank the cheating higher. 1.03 is going to see more AI upgrades, until then, if you want more of a challenge, go against multiple hard AIs in locked teams.

Reply to Economy Thread in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

Well, that's where your time constraints are going to come in. Every expansion is going to take a certain amount of time to pay off, and colonizing new worlds is a big hit in terms of needing planet infrastructure investment before it starts to pay off. Also, you have to deal with the fact that a credit is worth more when you're getting 1/sec than when you're getting 10/sec. So it's a hugely complex problem. Which is good, because otherwise everyone would be doing the optimal thing.<

My gut says this is largely dependant on how much space you have to expand...

Well, the european publishers don't want to carry it. It's not for want of trying on Stardock's side.

Reply to Objectivity in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Since when is Civ an RTS?[/quote] Civ is a 4X. Which is why I don't think Sins is the best 4X game ever made.

Reply to Objectivity in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

[quote]Its the best 4x game ever made is a much more reasonable assessment.[/quote] Actually, there I might disagree with you. I think one of the Civs or SMAC might hold that crown. I'd say it's the best integration of RTS with 4X.

[quote]Well, when the second post in the thread is trolling, and its allowed (apparently encouraged) by mods, what else is there to expect?[/quote] Trolling? I just pointed out that your allegations of 'fawning praise' are rather conclusively debunked by the press at large, and invited you to take it up with them. Quite frankly, you started the entire thread off with a hostile tone ('fawning', 'drooling' q.v.). You have no basis for calling anyone a troll.
