I just came across this interview with Ironclad’s Blair Fraser with 1up.com about the next installment in the micro-expansions for Sins of a Solar Empire.
"The second micro expansion is really about both diplomacy and the non-military aspects of the game which will bring it more in line with the RT4X sub-genre we've labeled it as. Certainly, multiple paths to victory, especially non military paths, are part of that," Fraser said, adding that the introduction of additional game modes that will make the game more multiplayer-friendly is also a distinct possibility, pointing to the user-made Sins of a Solar Empire DOME mod as an example.”
Check out the article at 1up.com.
WHAT! you want them to be another EA clone...come on!
Even if they do pofine it to the max, odds are bugs will still appear (not to mention balance issues) in the "Sins of a Solar Empire II" but since you're asking them to w8 well means those issues will only be fixed in Sins No.3...and so on!
And you'll never get a game thats actually 100% funtionnal (or at least as functional as possible).
+what does it take to patch...like 5 mins max! Just put impulse in background. Go check your emails, youll be back itll be ready for play.
Personnaly, I find the patches just another sign that the devs are trying to make this as perfect as possible .
Embrace and cherish it! Not many companies care about their customers as much +_+!
NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! DO NOT SPEAK SUCH BLASPHEMIES HERE!!!
can't wait for the next expansions, though I am loving me some SINS Entrenchment right now.
Just saw the original trailer, low res awsomeness
How long did it take u guys to make the second gameplay trailer?
I liked the news about more diplomatic options and non-military victory conditions. I can't wait to hear more about this micro-expansion.
They might be taking the minor race from GalCiv. They can thrive, but not expand.
The other would be a stronger attrition based. You can expand through the emeny the same way but faster I guess.
And I found this.
"Here's the good news: Ironclad is deep-sixing the current diplomacy system in favor of a deeper, more functional one. There's other minor changes as well, such as the inclusion of new terms of victory -- but peaceable relations seem to be the name of the game in expansion part deux."
I will say this. You haven't disapointed me Blair, keep up the good work, I'll pre-order the second expansion the minute it's released on Impulse. I don't know why I waited w/ the last one.
I agree with you (although I didn't wait to purchase the last expansion...I had the pre-order done the second it went on sale)...and I'll do the same on the 2nd exp.
Keep up the good work.
Waiting for this expansions is going to be so painful.
I just recently gobbled up Entrenchment and now I can't stop playing the game! It totally rejuvenated the experience for me. I used my spawned copy for my friend, and now we plan LAN nonstop.
Good to see Mr. Fraiser already talking about the new features. How long do I have to wait for more details? Pictures? Preorder?...time is going to crawl by! I know you guys are working hard on it.
Great job IC!
