Sins Entrenchment Good or Bad??

from Stardock Forums

Ok I bought the original game and played it I enjoyed it very much and thought it was great, then I added the expansion unlike many other I had no problems running it.

The good about entrenchment is that it gives you new options like starbases and new technology which makes it easier to defend a system.

The bad thing is that some moron managed to make the computer played opponents surrender when you take their homeworld while they still have a huge empire. This rather ridicilous to be honest.. who gave the devs the idea to change this??

Playing against computer is no fun anymore you win easily in a short period of time just aim for the homeworld and after that the empire is still there but takes no actions against you or others and appears as dead.

I heard rumours that some people complained that the computer oppponent took too long to kill unless they applied this change not sure wether it's true or not but if you want to beat the computer quickly play on small game not on huge.. gawd this is so annoying payd 10 bucks for a useless expansion.

If this is true why didn't the devs just put in the option that AI surrender when homeworld taken in game options when creating new game.

 

So I'm back to play the original game where this stupid thing is not applied when I can't play against other players.

I have to agree with you here..... the AI does seem to surrender far to early. I don't think its when their homeworld is taken however as in some games they have moved homeworlds several times on me.

Need a story line. Single player story line in fact. Get a lot more people playing it. All we know is some funky ass aliens came about to screw shit up and humans and others are fighting for their life... hmm... the moral of the story is...?

The AI is changing their homeworld rather frequently in Entrenchment and thus in all occasions I take it the AI surrenders... :/

Really annoying when you want a long game knowing that the AI has a super weak point like this. :(

IMO they need to slow down the Starbase build time. Really don't like it to be used as a defensive measure, when your already in a system.

I hate that. The AI sends constructors in and replaces starbases I just destroyed all the time.  But I don't want an opponent to be able to role thru 3 planets before I can mass a defense. I'd prefer a rule that halves SB build time, but not upgrades (lost resources hurts enough when its destroyed), if a gravity well is under attack.

On a totally unrelated note I'd love to see a story campaign for sins. It's the only thing missing from an otherwise amazing game. Devs, I have Klondike bars, you give story... I may share.

My thoughts exactly, can't even play Sins and its been, 2 weeks? Im about to give up and walk away from the game, the expansion should NOT have been released with a game breaking sync issue, esp since it was pushed back as well. The MP is unplayable for a good 90% of the population ...... I've yet to even actually get to try it out....

I still can't even play my game since the latest patch release, even with up to date drivers. All of my menu's are white as fuck, why did i pay good money for this again?

Guess I should've read this thread before I wasted $10 of hard earned money because I was having more fun with the Sins Plus and Death from Above Mobs on v1.05. Anybody have these for v1.15?
