Sins of a Solar Empire

[mangadrive]

I love this game. I expected Master of Orion mixed with Zergcraft and thats sorta what it is. I agree with most points about Diplomacy. Its useless. Also the 'culture' is not quite where it was in the Civ series which is what I immediatly expected. Its minor harrasement but nothing more.

I enjoy it because its less micro and nothing happens so fast that I can't react to it and defend myself (or attack). The UI is just great.

Best thing about the game though is the devs and how they listen to the players and actually patch constantly.
I hear they are doing pretty much an overhaul eventually with Dipolmacy/Culture etc so these are actually part of winning. Right now its just gunna an RTS with spaceships, which is still great.

As far as lack of SP its been said a million times, but as one dev pointed out no one as ever criticized Civ for lack of a story cause you build your own.
