random race specific game breaking capital bug in Sins of a Solar Empire II Sins2 Forums

i've had a very serious bug where the starter capital ship randomly vanishes or blows up when playing random faction. i used to think it happens in about 1 out of 10 matches, but looking closer its alot more common. the difference is, whether it happens 1-10 minutes into the game, or in lategame when its not so noticeable unless you pay attention to it. i prefer playing random and almost always do, so i see it alot. most people dont play random, and those that dont say they've never see

I also bought the original elemental, and were really sad at how bad it was. A year later, I got an email from stardock where they apologized for the shit elemental, and said they remade the game to be good and provided me with a free DL link :) yay for registering your stardock games at their homepage, and yay for stardock themselves :D

I agree, mages are definitely immensely powerful, wether its the summons or just the horrid wail aoe from a branch in the summon tree. in a late game, it did 66 dmg to everything, and suddenly the vastly superior gilden armies i was facing turned into 3-4 turns annihillation regardless of my troop quality -_- there is a hard counter to mages though, lots of archers. Because I am dumb, I went to war against Tarth (the archer empire) with Resoln, I couldn't even get one good spell off, ever

most probably know this already, but if your rating is much higher than your opponents, you can drastically shorten, or nullify the mopup by demanding surrender from your enemies :)

Reply to How to get a champion to levels greater than 20? in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

levelling heroes helps alot if you give them their own army. if you have 2-3 heroes in one army, they will get very little xp each since they all want a big piece of the pie. with one per army, they get xp extremely fast, so you could just throw your heroes in one army later when they are a bit more powerful

[quote who="Azunai_" reply="3" id="3450629"] there are other examples of mega events etc. that completely shake the playing field - like a dreadnought invasion in gal civ half your cities flipping to AI control in one of the Call to Poer civ clones, but all of that stuff feels artificial and is - of course - very "unfair" to the player.

Reply to Rebalance of 'The Dead' in Legendary Heroes Elemental Forums

[quote who="Apheirox" reply="5" id="3430839"] The problem isn't just that the AI can't play the faction. The faction can't be played well by a human player, either. It's a really interesting idea that wasn't executed properly - the faction is too gimped to be able to stand up to the other factions' much higher growth rates. Having practically no growth for the first 100 turns or so of the game is a death sentence - yes, there indeed appears to be a second meaning

age of wonders 1 was awesome, great fun. the sequel had glaring, atrocious lack of AI, but still got a few hours of fun out of it i guess. Although AoW 3 is on my watchlist, there's no way I'm preordering it before I know for sure its actually half decent or better in the AI department -_- *remembers running a lone unit in and out of a town with towers to make the enemy attackers run endlessly back and forth with his whole melee army until the tower killed them

Got the dlc today, and was excited to try them out, but is it just me or do they have nothing going for them? You can build 2 cities, then you're screwed unless you manage to sneak-grab enemy cities since even if you find a fair amount of human monster npcs, you wont be getting enough growth for another pioneer. If you're lucky you find 2+ deathshards within grabbable range of the two cities, which makes it slightly bearable if you can stock enough mana to get the growth buffs on the

i have seen 2 huge fleets (not at the same time, but in the same match) be almost utterly annihillated in a very short timespan against inferior forces thanks to a careful cleansing brilliance lineup + malice. i dont think that would work though except if, as in the case of that match the opponent was fighting on 2 fronts and had to go back and forth microing

Today I joined a 2v2 against Knight of Nine and Free Lancer, on a custom map free lancer had made. there was 2 solar systems, and it took over 5 minutes to go from one planet to another (i'm not kidding). still, i thought "oh well, it's different from the ordinary maps at least." about 1 1/2 hours later, the enemy in my solar system was defeated while i was feeding my ally enough to keep his at bay. then i run my forces down to the other solar system which took at least 15-20 minutes

my tactic varies with every fight, if i play tec i sometimes do cobalt / hoshi, lrm / hoshi or flak / hoshi spam early on. my followup varies a lot as well, f.ex. a fast followup of kodiak's after the initial fleet is set up. of course, carriers are my friend as well but so far i've never spammed them. won't say i never will though :P

Reply to Does a "fear" of experienced (or pro) players keep you from playing Sins online? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

well, for the most part I don't fear experienced players too much, it can be fun to play against some. It starts sucking when you hit some of the elitists I've read about somewhere on this forum. Did a 2v2v2 today, teams was unlocked because a guy was worried someone might start in a system with an enemy (4 system map), and said to ally the person that started in your system. among my enemies were some "pro's" and a smurf, but my team actually managed to steamroll them.
