Welcome to the 7 DEADLY SINS mod, as featured in PC GAMER by DANMAN .
Welcome to 7 Deadly Sins 2.5 FINAL for the latest version of Sins Entrenchment 1.053.7DS can only be played at HIGH maximum settings. DO NOT USE VERY HIGH settings. This will cause a minidump. Also, there is an issue with Win7 64 bit. You will get crashes, load errors, or the game will not even play, with or without warning. Just keep reloading the game and trying until you actually get into the game and play. This is a Windows problem, not a problem with Sins or 7DS.
7 Deadly Sins is:
The ultimate combo mod, the "unoffical" expansion of Sins of a Solar Empire, or so it has been dubbed by the mod community.The work of many individual modders working together under my leadership (DANMAN3712).Nearly 4 years old and downloaded in various forms over 100k times worldwide and in 5 languages.
Together, we form the 7DS Mod Team and the backbone of DANMAN GAMES www.danmangames.com
7 Deadly Sins is the combination of original 7DS Team content and other mods including:

12 Playable Races with their own traits that make them more unique, from being a total offensive race, to a highly researching race. Each race now has its own unique tactics of gameplay.
Trader Emergency Coalition- solely based on trade and swarming, with little military might Corpo-Nations that have rebelled against the Trade Order. Their military might stripped, they have turned to allying themselves with various factions and hiring mercs for protection. TEC has new Battlecruisers, mercenary contracts, and EMP shells that bypass shields to a small degree.Trade Coalition Armada- the military arm of the Trade Order Once the development arm of the Trade Order, they are now the last hope for the Trade Order and humanity. Their ships are bricks with extreme range railguns.
TCA has state of the art weapons on traditional capitalships plus the Dresden and Athena Dreadnought and Beta Kol Titan.The Orion Unity- modified Orion and Advent Combine Some Orion split with the Atlantian-Orion Combine to guide the Advent towards their ultimate evolutionary stage. TOU ships are stronger, faster and deadlier; They can even travel between worlds using the Phase Stabilizer technology of the Tempest Titan. Ship research boosts weapon performance.
DARK FLEET- modified Vasari The Dark Fleet is all that remains of the Vasari. Where the weak Exodus ran often and fought rarely, the Dark Fleet seeks total dominion through force of arms. Their 5 Titan ships roam looking for prey. Play style is familiar with greater armor, firepower and destructive potential.
Imperial Armada- from Star Wars Guided by a clone of General Thrawn, the wasteland armadas of the Imperial Armada can employ powerful Force Alchemical Technology and even unleash the power of the Executor Super Star Destroyer. Can unlock Jedi and/or Sith Holocrons for performance boost to defenses or offenses respectively -and at the expense of the other.
Rogue Cadre- Playable, custom pirates Rob, pilfer, and steal your way to greatness. The Rogue Cadre is a melting pot of human cultures, Advent refugees and what remains of the Vasari. They have gathered against the TCA, TOU, Atlantian-Orion Combine and TOC to free humanity from tyranny, mysticism and slavery. Posess the Precursor Titan and The Machine -the latter capable of capturing capitalships
Arilou Vanguard- UFO race from the Star Control Games Not being of this dimension, the Arilou do not rely on money and normal means of transport or construction. They simply spawn ships from their "motherships", and travel through Quasispace, which propels them at near instant speeds from planet to planet.
Ur-quan KohrAh Third Doctrinal Fleet- Death race from the Star Control games Totally aggressive, the Korh-Ah are built for battle. They are all offense, and barely any defense. They focus on exterminating every race and every planet they find, and almost every ship is capable of boming from orbit. Their goal is to "cleanse" the universe of all other sentient life, anything that is not an Ur-Quan.
Ur-Quan KzerZa Third Doctrinal Fleet- Slaving race from the Star Control games Unlike their Kor-Ah cousins, the Kzer-Za believe in a diplomatic approach, let alone old habits of enslaving entire races into their Hierarchy. They have grown from their 10,000 year old ways, and are more good than bad now.
Atlantian-Orion Combine- the ultimate race, the seeders of life (the gods) The Combine are part of the original Creator Alliance and responsible for seeding galaxies with genetic data. The Orion are the protectors and defenders until the Atlantian vessels can be fielded. Their greatest strength is their technology, but the loss of labs remove bonuses gained from research.
Taalo Horde- Ancient Rock race, from the Star Control games As if the universe itself groaned for a protector, the Taalo have awakened from a million year slumber only to find old allies -the Atlantians and Arilou stripping the galaxy of semi-sentient flo-metal. They are the ultimate enviromental defender with a naive sense of justice. They have incorporated alien technology into their asteroid bodies with great results.
Triad of Creation- Ancient Destroyers of Worlds, Galactic Enslavers The Triad of Creation, the Dnyarri, Antaran and Lapis, seek to eradicate all life in the universe. They nearly destroyed the Atlantian-Orion Combine in the Ori galaxy by turning their creation -the Vasari- against them. They emerged from within the Rogue Cadre taking a sizeable portion of their population into slavery. Their fleets struck the Taalo and Dark Fleet with vessels designed for infiltration nearly crippling the two factions.

Many Thanks,

7 Deadly Sins, a Danman Games Production/Mod for Sins of a Solar Empire by IronClad/StarDock.
No, think DanMan just forgot to take it out during testing
Yes, this was a super secret release that I gave to my partners and "leaked" out a few copies. I think I had 30 total downloads before I cut it off. Don't worry though, the BETA "D" will be out soon, and then the final release of the 2.0 version. As for Easter eggs, yes they will be in the super secret version, as it was meant only for the eyes of the partners. I had no intention of leaving them in, as they are part of the Halo mod with Canadaman777.
Anyways, things are progressing smoothly.
Simmayaz, simply mouse over the planet to determine what research you need. Its that easy.
Also, Hamach is 7 DEADLY SINS - password is : danman
Hope to see you all there.
ah...ok
and thanks for the hamachi info, ill see you on later
PS. its on LAN right?
whew. several pages later, god this thread moves quickly.
i found a bunch of guys at uni with 7DS, and we played a fucking 18hour game, non stop. it was freaking mental. I though it was awesome in big "You Against the World" type maps, but when you team up with 3 guys and go against 4 others, and some AIs it's pretty fucking sweet. i cannot imagine why they didn't think to add this stuff in when they made it! dammit DANMAN, you and your team did a freaking brilliant mod. keep up the good work!
ok here's a noobish question
how do i play over the Hamachi network.....
see told ya....noobish
it works like LAN. Someone else on hamachi will join you (or you them) in the multiplayer menu, but NOT ironclad online. You may have to have them send their IP over, but there are less hosting problems without ICO
oh thx
Hey danman Im wondering if you have an idea of making a new factions but in terms that its only Machines?
Basically from the Terminator:SkyNet and also From the matrix
wouldnt it be crazy to see an armada of machine warships and stiff like that in space and planets?
and a warhammer 40k Tyranid style force, where their only objectiv is to eat and multiply
U, here is an interesting topic try looking up Macross Frontier There enemy is Vajra Thats the races youll like alot
Hey Dan since ive been away from sins for awhile im a bit out dated.
Could you fill me in on the Kor ah updates the dark the unity TCA rogue updates and all the other races.
....HUM..interesting..I'm running Sins v.1.05 and I get a mini-dump whenever I load 7DS on and It's a drag cus I REALLY wanna play it!
PS1:Black Holes look INSANE and are something I had anticipated in vanilla sin (thanks a lot for adding them)
PS2: I don't see the difference between Cap ships and titan ships....can someone fill me in on them please!?
Thank you!
ShadowMastiff, just wait until 2.0 D. Then you will see the truth.
I just downloaded the 7 deadly sins 1.3d and even if I enable it nothing happens and it is in the right folders so what am I doing wrong? Also how do you select the new race?
1. open the mod folder
2. copy the other 7 Deadly Sins folder in there
3. paste it in your mods section
4. have fun
I can't w8...I wanna test all this! And 2D won't be out for a while...!!!!!
I'll try again..now!
Quick question..is the AI adapted to the new races..I mean is the AI smart enough to use computer control if he's a rogue for example (or any other race)? React to me taking over his ships...
Thanks for the mod..just got it to work! IT'S AWESOME!
yes, they will capture your ships. I had some nasty Rogues capture my Stellar Converter (omfg Atlantian Titan) and ravage the world over which we were fighting... insta nuked my planet
Ask for playtester status at the 7 Deadly Sins site.
i did ask for a status change......3 days ago..
It is in my mod folder and when I enable it nothing happens and how do you select the atlantians?
the same way you select which race you're going to play normally...
Guy's- you can download it here withought strugeling with filefront:

I'm not sure if 7ds includes the halo mod, but if it does, BE CAREFUL!! I know the halogen mod is ground combat, but if microsoft decides to come up with a space combat game for halo, then they would probably shut down all halo mods.
I know this is old, but if you haven't heard of this then try to be careful somehow. Maybe just don't give Microsoft any new ideas.
Does the atlantians come out as a selectable because when the mod is active for me all iget is vasari, tec and advent.
Hey Danman, love the mod, just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done!
Of course, here comes the "Well, I have a question".... question.
Do you have a FAQ or write-up that explains what everything has been added in or changed? I know I of course could just research into each mod that's in the compiliation, but still...
Couldn't find anything in the 1.3c version ZIP file, and neither could I find anything in your initial post. 82 pages to sort through too, yikes.
