Reply to Features that the people would like added 1.03 or 1.04 in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

More personality. I know it's not Galciv, but a little bit of personality would go a long way with this game. It's just not very...entertaining, I guess you could say. Random events would add an element of unpredictability that the game sorely needs. It's my OPINION that we have a very solid engine here, with tons of potential. It just needs to be fleshed out a bit to add to the fun factor. ...ok, so maybe that's more like an expansion than a patch.

Any chance I could get someone to email me that file? I'm on a government computer and cannot access the link...or most any site, for that matter. [email protected] Thanks!

That site is blocked. I managed to get ahold of it though, thanks all.

Help Getting Patch in Sins of a Solar Empire Stardock Forums

Greetings all, I'm currently deployed to Iraq and received the game in the mail. Unfortunately, I am unable to access any download sites for the patch due to my only internet connection is on a government computer...and the sites are blocked. Is there any possibility that someone can email me the patch? I'd really like to get my hands on the update but I'm at a loss as to how to do it. If the website wasn't blocked it wouldn't be an issue. Once I get my hands on it I can put it on

Greetings all, I'm hoping for a bit of help on this. I am currently deployed to Iraq and cannot gain access to any website that would permit a download of the Sins update; many websites are blocked on government internet. Is there a possibility I could get someone to email the file to my email address? Not the link, but the actual file. I'm allowed to download items onto my gov computer, I just can't install it or acess the site itself. Any help would be greatly appreciated...I'd l

Am I the only person that hates making up these detailed strategies for the beginning of a game? I know it sounds funny, not liking to make up a strategy to play a STRATEGY game, lol, but for some reason it just ruins the mystique of the game for me. Yeah, sure, I build up some colony ships and what not, try the ole "snatch and grab", but...hmpf, I dunno. I guess I kinda get into these games in a different way. I know the computer is doing everythi

Actually, often even the well thought out constructive criticism posts get attacked by fanboys. Not saying you are one. Still, you are right, this post doesn't exactly help anyone, lol, except maybe the original poster...he might be relieved after yelling and screaming like that.

Reply to Multimedia upgrade? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Well, grest...hehe, guess I should have posted this earlier...50% download complete. (sigh) Thanks...

Reply to Multimedia upgrade? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Er, actually, that should have been 'Hey You' and not 'Is There Anybody Out There'. Chalk that up to extremely late hours at work.... >:(

Multimedia upgrade? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I found a few references to the multimedia upgrade in the forum, but none of them really answered the question of...what the heck is it? Does it add a bunch of hypnotic disco lights and talking flowers to the game? Does Pink Floyd's 'Is There Anybody Out There' start playing as background music? Or...does it do absolutely nothing? I know there was a problem with the size and all that. I have the retail version of the game. Do I download this thing, or what? :notsure:

Reply to Can someone explain Influence in regards to Diplomacy? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Wow, totally makes sense. Thanks!

Can someone explain Influence in regards to Diplomacy? in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Can't really get much detail from the manual on this. When you 'trade' influence, what exactly are you doing? Are you simply taking some of their influence from them, in the sense that their empire now has less of a chance of taking over another empire's colonies culturally? Or is it like a form of currency, and there are no real repercussions other than you have less of it to trade?

Reply to Bug Reports in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Can't find a dev reply to this question, so I figured I'd ask it again. It may already be there, but I'm just too lazy to look through almost 600(!!) posts. Recommend the devs make a FAQ for the bugs, that way we see few repeat questions. When you select increased Military/Social production as a bonus, do they actually take effect? I really can't tell. And what about when you build a trade resource...how is it that another race can research the exact same resource when it specifical
