| Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009) I have played Sins of a Solar Empire and thought it was a very good game, but did not believe it quite reached the high level of accolades it received in reviews. I really wanted more from the game. On that note however, there is an add-on pack called Entrenchment (with more add-ons apparently in the pipeline for release). Unfortunately I just can't seem to find anywhere that sells it |

| Direwolf of the chrons | Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009) Shadow - did you play sins fully patched (possibly with entrenchment addon). Its initial release was rather lacking in polish - but its had some of the best after release support from the developers and its fully patched form is far more refined - the ai has also been upgraded (it no longer runs at everything) |

Sorry for the delay in replying Overread. I played Sins a while back (6months +). I have recently purchased the Endless Universe addition to Galactic Civilization II, where (on installation) the Impulse software update alert indicated the ability to update my Sins of a Solar Empire. I did this, but have yet to play it as I thought it was only a basic patch. If it is indeed the Entrenchment add-on, many thanks. If not, never mind, but thank you nonetheless for your time | |

| Direwolf of the chrons | Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009) entrenchment costs something like £5 and its an optional addon but well worth getting I think (and you get big space bases!). 6 months is a fair bit of time and even normal patches have changed gameplay balance quite a lot in that time - give it a try you might find things better |

Thanks for the advice. I have shied away from purchasing/downloading direct from the internet in the past for fear of inviting s*ds law into the house and something going wrong! ![]() However, Sins is going on tonight and if the previous download isn't the entrenchment then I think I'll purchase it later on tonight anyway. Once again thanks for your time, appreciate it. | |

| Re: What Are You Currently Playing? (2009) Much to the annoyance of the missus (and all Overread's fault ) I played Sins of a Solar Empire 'Entrenchment' over most the weekend. Superb game with more bolt-ons to come in the future.This week its been Total War Empires. This has had mixed reviews but I've gotta say I'm really enjoying it. All the town management side of things (which I could never let be auto managed by the CPU) has been simplified, so for once I'm actually enjoying this part of the game as well. I actually like the presentation style of the strategic map (some people have quoted it's too colourful/not gritty enough.) And my computer does not seem to have a problem with running it: Dell 2.6 duel core Pentium. 256mb graphics card (if anyone wants full specs I can give you them later, as I'm at work at moment!). I run it on a 172 widescreen (1440x900 I think). I have only played/am playing the American campaign but it is great. This is even with an Indian tribe kicking my butt last night (it was truly a Custer's Last Stand scenario). The tactical battles are extremely well done. One of the best TW titles (along with the Rome edition) |
