[quote who="Seth Gaines" reply="3" id="3334187"] Who wants more staves to drop? They are all terrible. They need to come with a built in block bonus to be worth anything. I get lots of those useless clubs, and a fair number of staves. Almost never a ranged weapon (at least not anything worthwhile), and yes, more swords and daggers than other weapons, but blunt and axes too. Decent spears turn up reasonably often.[/quote] True, no dece

How about a certain set of abilities, useful but not too powerful on their own, when all acquired to unlock a really powerful treat, like the set bonuses in other games, but that would be the icing of the cake. It would be like a learning course - you get better bit by bit, but when you finish your education - that is when you become master. Maybe heroes should get an initial attunement in, say, 3 (for example, of course) spheres of specialization - like magic/psi/

Yup, mentioned that in my post as well. I don't think this should be treat available to the Commander class only though. Should be available every time when there is a battle, even if your army has no champions within at the moment. Probably the attacker should get a bigger area available to arrange his army and the defender slightly smaller.

Agreed, it is frustrating to experience such a mindless diplomacy exploits by the AI. This game deserves a better diplomacy system and more "sane" AI, even if that will make it mean or/and backstabbing in some cases. We need a challenging AI, using the diplomacy as a tool and constantly making you trying to figure out its next move, not just dumb pioneer trespasser abusing the most simple strategies all game. And make war count please, not something s

Hi there :) This is the first game since the early SoaSE I find time to write about. I will go straight for the bugs/balance questions: - The first problem i encountered was 15 minutes in game when during a battle suddenly all bright colors on the screen started flickering and flipped with a grayish/bright white noise effect. This carried over after the battle to the tactical view, so I had to restart to get rid of it. - Next the zones/borders of influenc

I am retiring from Sins. I have tried to fit it in my schedule, but it just doesn't work. Insted of entertainment it has become something I just can't spend one hour with, without being interrupted. So if I can't maintain the standard I am used to, and enjoy it, then it is time to move on. Thanks for all the good games we had together:) Special thanks for all BiA and DT members - if it wasn't you guys to keep up the spark, ICO would have been quite a boring plac

Well don't rush in judging Rebo, sometimes things can screw up generally really fast and you don't know what reason stays behind his absence. I will remind you that he was the driving force behind this match, so it must be something really serious to occur to make him not show up. And I wouldn't say that is the way to act, after you have been part of something - just to pretend being pissed and leave like a little girl on the first occasion, not even knowing the reason behind it. You could ha

Happy Easter everyone:)) Of course you would defend your clan, thats the most normal thing. What I say isn't personal, I just do the same. You know I respect you very much, and like you too. But lets not keep discusing that game, because that was mine and King's second game together for hell lot of a time, and it wasn't rly that serious a game (i even didn't bother to go for ogrovs) after King wrote me its a lost cause for him. Unfortunately that happened pretty early in the g

The title says it all... Right now, I have my 5 and a half years old PC for 4 days and want to install Sins on it. My C: partition is pretty much filled up and can't istall it there, but on the other one I have good 18gb free space and can't figure out how to make Impusle install the game there. Right now it says that I have not enough disk space. And, besides that, would you tell me if I would be able to play online witout lagging. My internet here is good, but the PC is Rade

I don't think that a game that is out for so long would need a campaign that familiarize the audience with its basic gameplay principles. Hardly any of us, the Sins fans would swallow something like that. In my eyes the campaign must be very hard, controversial, without the trivial build a base, zerg out units and rush the enemy, but more like a limited number of units given for every mission with very few or not at all reinforcements. Then when you advance scrapping for every ship and with a

Master of Orion 3 - the most awaited game, dissapointed me so much, I almost gave up gaming. Bought it, tried to give it a chance for several days, never played it again. Heroes 4 - such a dissapointment. Uglier, slower and so lacking in ballance compared to its prequel. Hellgate - boring.

The most usefull post I have read in this forum, since the early days' of the game whine post by Haeso about LRM's spam being so overpowered, after the third or fourth patch of the game I think. Great post, makes your time flow imperceptibly. Describes the mechanics of the game pretty well and complete, so any new to Sins player can hit the ground running. And along with few posts from more experienced players (like MindsEye's and XaviorsFist's for exapmle) it can make a pretty good r

Truth, their fleets werent very well suited to clash with carriers. But that was only in the beggining. Afterwards the TEC player researched the charge ability for the kodiaks and heavily spammed flak frigs. The other one spammed defense vessels and built several carriers himself too. But most of the time i was fighting the TEC. And the kodiaks charged on my carriers, and even so i lost few only. Thats my point - it might turn out that speed reduction wouldn't be enough for the carriers. They

Agree with Mazuo and Cykur. Either make strikecraft paid, or alter carriers speed/hp so they could actually still be usefull, but only when inteligently used with other ships combo, not as super unit just by themselves. Something must be done about these carriers Stardock, the game is closer to balance compared to 1.05, just the current state of the carriers is spoiling the picture. Quick refference - yesterday I played 1 game on ICO for the first time during the past 4

There are players whose real strength is the team game. Maybe he wasn't that good in single matches, but was a good partner and more important - it worked for us. We had 1 or 2 games lost of 30+ together. In a matter of truth I am not a big fan of that kodiak strat too, but i know he is better than that. Anyway, i didn't see you writing down anything about the other ppl i mentioned. Siddy set a margin for quality here - DT. 3/4 of the ranked players in the original post

He used one trick because in 90% of the cases that trick worked well. He is a TEC only player, and I believe he used that strat, because most of the time ppl from the opposite team just abused the illums spam.
