Sins Of A Solar Empire 2 Preview Update! Once More Into The Breach Of The Impossible AI!

Some people might argue that there is a gradient system to AI difficulty, and that one should follow that gradient. I say that those people are geldings or women or both! somehow... Besides! what are walls for if not to bash ones head against them!

I am glad they kept in the "Speeeeeeeeeeeeeeak" voice line. It was an endless source of entertaiment in the first game

[@thorveim1174]

the vasari in lore are a nomadic race that never settle anywhere for long, usually only settling planets to grab everything they can before leaving. So it makes sense that they arrive with a small fleet instead of having an already occupied world (which makes sense for the TEC since the whole mess is happening on their turf) and while yes the vasari ARE evil (though their subfaction may be getting better, not using slaves aymore and trying to make allies), a lot of that evil is justified by them being on the run from something that would wipe them out and already effortlessly snuffed out their old empire, and is STILL coming after them. (this is why a lot of their voicelines mention they are in a hurry, and why they dont care about credits, all that matters to them is what allows them to survive). And its also why in the endgame its fully possible to play nomadic with them, with all the necessities barring ressource extraction (though some ships can gather ressources from the enemy) and culture being put on your ships, even having a workaround so losing your capital world desnt cause defeat, and even your STATIONS being fully mobile (and yes you CAN phase-jump them around with the appropriate upgrade, though still only one can be in any given sector at a time) also, the "random second health bar" isnt random, all capital ships have it... but whie they are in it, they cant shoot nor use abilities anyore, so its just a chance for them to limp back home and get repaired.

Some banger songs in that prince of Egypt movie

I keep thinking the captain of that huge ship says "squeeeeeeeeeeeeeak" even though it's obviously "speaaaaaaaaak"

I enjoy Arch not knowing the distinction between the Old Testament Jews and Christians. The Benedictine monks were not allowed to read 2nd kings before bed because of King David’s atrocities in it.

Arch needs to work on Diplomacy I wish I could have told him, send diplomatic ships to minor factions and gain control of their fleets.

The effect of Shermans bloody march to the sea, is that the majority of the south hates the Yankees and the Yankee Nation to this very day.

[@JimParshall]

FYI your new mic sounds really really good better than the previous one at least from what I can hear unless you're doing a complex test to see if you can just fake us into believing you have a new bike but I think it does sound better

[@jasonwright8546]

Hey Arch, is there a W40k based game that is like Sins of a Solar Empire? Is there one that is any good?

[@d133710n]

Did they really recycle the original decade and a half old audio?

[@Krysnha]

i watch mayority of the stream and all the musci was from the original so yeah they said the steam launch version will have original music but doubt it

[@Dirge_Prime]

From the steam page for the steam release "all new voice overs will be included along with race specific music that reacts to the action"

[@d133710n]

@@Dirge_Prime thats fucking absurd

[@thorveim1174]

its likely placeholder while the game is in early access. hell, one of the vasari ships uses an ADVENT voice from the first game :p

[@adoeman]

If it aint broke to fix it. Audio seems fine to me.
