No. Diplomacy requires Entrenchment. You need both to play Diplomacy.

Reply to GamePro DRM Analysis, Interview with Brad Wardell in Sins News Sins Forums

[quote]But to go back to the trying issue, I chose to buy Sins because it had what I call a 'good demo' and here is what I mean by that. The demo really only restricted playing time, but not much else. If I remember correctly in the demo, while you could only play as one side, the evil TEC, you had access to all their upgrades and ships. That is what I want to see in a demo.[/quote] I'd have to agree with this. All the web articles I read about DRM used Sins as the example of a great

From the AC2 page "UBISOFT MAY CANCEL ACCESS TO ONLINE FEATURES UPON A 30-DAY PRIOR NOTICE PUBLISHED AT http://assassinscreed.com" Good god almighty! And they have the gall to charge $60 USD for this?!?! Maybe we should just turn back the hands of time and require quarters to play the damn game. KMA Ubisoft. You are now banned from my home.

Another note about planets and the "total planets" given at the top. It adds each of the planet groups totals together. Then each player on a map gets 3 planets added. 1 Homeworld, 1 asteroid, and one ice or volcanic planet.

Reply to Map Designer: Neutral Colony slider is cool in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I can see where MP would not want that. However I'm in the midst of trying to create an "Epic" single player map with the Map Designer. I want to make the game long. I'd like the AI(s) to have to work a little before it decided to attack me. Of course I'll try a smaller map first to see if I like it or not.

Map Designer: Neutral Colony slider is cool in Sins of a Solar Empire Sins Forums

I've had Sins for over a year and I'm only now trying this? [e digicons]:X[/e] In the Map Designer you can adjust the Neutral Colony slider back and forth on planets. In the red zone you will get your regular neutral colonies. They will just have your average defenses like a few frigates. Go ahead and slide that sucker over to the green and those neutral colonies will be dug in like little ticks and have 4 or 5 gauss guns, hangers with about 4 squads, and about 50% more frigates.

Reply to Ubisoft is dropping PC DRM but.... in PC Gaming Sins Forums

And here is the BINGO quote! "We've all seen again and again that you can't stop the piracy scene from cracking your game and distributing it, free of DRM. But you can stop the people who love your games from downloading it, and you do that by making the retail experience better - not worse ." Ubisoft? Can I introduce you to Stardock? Sure you let them distribute your games but you really need to talk to them about the mistake you're about to make.

That would be awesome. [Slap] I can dream [slap] The other problem I see is wireless connectivity. Most of the time it's fine and reconnects.
