[quote]Like the title says, either this game or World in Conflict. I've looked into both games, and have asked at multiple forums (including WiC forums) and have gotten many different responses. Now I finally come to you guys, how many of you have both games and which one do you prefer?[/quote] I am the clan leader of one of the largest clans in WiC (World in conflict) with over 200 members. I played WiC everyday for 6 months straight. Sins is the better choice because:

[quote]He has a point Rhedd, more people die in car accidents over here than have died in Iraq for the entire war, but I think that is more an argument for safer cars than for Iraq not being a war O.o A war has two or more sides, and so just because we've done extremly well so far doesn't mean it isn't a war. The number of Iraqis who have died are any where from 300,000 to over 1 million, I think I'd call that a war. Sorry Frogboy, didn't see your post as I was posting[/quote] To me, a

I wouldn't argue with HuntingX. In my opinion, he could easily defeat 90% of the players in the game. He's very good, and he knows what he's talking about. This could change overtime when more people have more playing experience, but for now it stands true.

[quote]Just so that Stardock's position is clear: 1) Sins of a Solar Empire is not just the frist RT4X game, it is the first compuer game to take place in space - of any kind. 2) Sins of a Solar Empire is the first game to make use of the mouse to control the game. 3) Sins of a Solar Empire is the first game to support resolutions greater than 320 x 200 by 256 colors. I hope this settles any sort of discussion on the matter.[/quote] Hahahaha....LOL!

[quote]Nope, it's just a map layout tool. You could do that if you really wanted by changing galaxyScenarioDef.galaxyScenarioDef file to include however many ships for the players to start with, and just make a 2-3 planet map to go with. No build time, no travel time.[/quote] that's a bummer. thanks

I want a timer option that will end multiplayer games at a set time. Not everyone has 5 hours to spare for an online game. Especially the hard working folks who have jobs.

Reply to embargo is too good for non random start maps in Sins Multiplayer Sins Forums

I don't know too much about the embargo because it's never been used against me (saw it used once against my teammate). Could make a patch......if the "victim planet" has a stronger fleet in the gravity well then the embargo would be automatically canceled. You could also make a technology which neutralizes the embargo, Han Solo style. What was Han Solo in Star Wars?

Reply to How about a TIMER option? in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

A typical online Win-Loss record for someone is: 47 games played 13 wins 2 losses This means there were 32 games unaccounted for. I believe a TIMER option could dramatically reduce the unaccounted games. If someone is getting spanked, instead of simply quiting, they may be a gentleman and hang in there until the TIMER is up. Again, I'm saying it should only be an OPTION for hosts and players. If you don't like the idea of a timer then don't host or j

There would be no use for it on a single player game since you have a SAVE option.

[quote]we don't f'n need this.[/quote] There is nothing wrong with making it an option. If YOU don't want it then when you host a game online then YOU don't have to select it. Get it? For those of us who get tired of people quiting in the middle of a game, or for those of us who only have X amount of hours to play then a TIMER would be perfect. Get it? The TOP 2 reasons why people quit in the middle of a game are: 1. They are losing 2. They have ran o
