[quote who="WA-Numenor" reply="2593" id="3641997"] So I read the best way to prevent them from building carriers is just to create a duplicate faction for the AI, and remove their ability to build carriers all together. [/quote] I would not agree with that advice. I'd just edit the carrier research entity files and change the priority line on them to 0.00000.

[quote who="Ohoh2" reply="29" id="3642219"] I don't mean to ask a stupid question but is the dlc any fun at all? Does it make any difference in 5s games on ICO? If so please explain because i haven't yet purchased anything or is it free? [/quote] I've heard wippersnapper say the 5s MP community has decided to play with it off. Probably because it adds a bit too much chaos in the galaxy for their tastes. As with all the other DLC though, you can play with

[quote who="WA-Numenor" reply="2" id="3641687"] What I mean by this is there simply a data file some where that I can just change the value to allow duplicate picture sets for the AI? [/quote] Not that I know of, sorry. I think there are lines to assign a particular AI player to a particular portrait in the map files, however I'm not sure if this actually works. There certainly isn't a global toggle for it.

[quote who="AKenny47" reply="469" id="3641588"] "HorridWar", "CyborgAnalysis", and all of the Ion Barrage abilities could do with having the "NotInvulnerable" constraint added to them. There might be one or two more abilities that ought to have the constraint added, but I think all of the main culprits have now been caught... [/quote] Awesome! Thanks again.

[quote who="Xavrenkal" reply="2" id="3641449"] I mentioned that I have a physical copy to Trinity (which included Entrenchment and Diplomacy, yay). So that would mean I'm spending $10 on Rebellion alone... but it also means I would never need to deal with this kind of garbage again... The Steam purchase INCLUDES Entrenchment and Diplomacy bundled in, right? [/quote] Sorry, I skimmed that last bit. :p If you registered Trinity to a different account, or didn't

If you're talking about the player portraits, I think human players can have the same portrait set just fine. It's just the game doesn't like to reuse the same pictures for the AI.

Log into the Stardock Store website with the name/email of your old Impulse account (hopefully the one you're using now). If you had it on Impulse it sounds like you registered the game, so you can download the latest directly from Stardock store website. That said, its worth mentioning that the latest version of Sins, Rebellion, is 75% off on steam right now due to the summer sale. Assuming you never got any of the expansions, you'll get the content from the two micro expansi

The only exception is the social specialization upgrade, in which case the planets with the most specialization upgrades will be the best, but if you

[quote who="furyofthestars" reply="462" id="3640377"] Goa, you might already be aware of this but figured I'd let you know, seems Sins doesn't like the whole 20 artifacts thing. It seems to bug out on a random 3 (which ones are different each time) where it will show the wrong planetary tool-tip and "losing" the planet does not update the research tree to show them as no longer owned. I do not know if the bonuses are properly removed. Tested via Galaxy Forge in

A bool is short for Boolean, AKA Yes/No, On/Off. Either you have it or you don't. They are not defined in any file we can access sadly, they are hard coded into the game engine.

The sound from weapons and some more small things is heard only by one speaker. It is not only from me, I know more people with the problem. Very curious because if it is a problem from the sounds added by me, I made them as the originals. [/quote] I remember having this problem once.

[quote who="Nomada_Firefox" reply="31" id="3639988"] Any changes with the last 1.84? [/quote] Very minor. They changed the MainMenuScreen/SteamMainMenuScreen window file, and added a few new strings for multiplayer. Shouldn't be very game breaking if you're mod was working on 1.83. The changes notes do indicate they may have made the planet destruction mechanic now work on a buff, rather than an ability. Not sure if anyone has tested it to confirm though
