[quote who="RS-fx" reply="9" id="2188389"]Advent superweapon is useful if you are wealthy enough to get it. But it is clearly not worth the money you spend in them. Build ships instead : ships don't disappear because of culture stations, deliverance engine shot effect does. If you are in a whole culture kill strategy, why not... but it is far less efficient than big guns in big ships actually, even for Advent.[/quote] You are correct in saying superweapons ar

Culture assists your millitary advance Culture hampers their defense Culture boosts your defense Culture boosts your economy Culture weakens their economy Culture is not a way to win the game, it assists you winning the game through your fleet. It works as intended imo, perhaps a marginal buff might be nice, but I would say that: I like Advent. BTW you do realise that 'the gay porn uploader' is the most usefull supe

[quote who="leejaywu" reply="7" id="2186736"] You might have to be careful not to be suckered into a long jump into the wrong place -- as with any other phase jump, you can't abort while you're en route, and it takes time. Problem is, it can be a much, much longer phase jump than others, and you don't necessarily have an easy way back (unless you're jumping to a friendly system with a phase gate, or maybe have a second Kostura to open a gate another your arrival in case

I cant really imagine any of the forces in sins wanting to capture planets intact at all. I imagine that full terran lockdown has a lot more death camps than High density zoning for instance. Most of the stuff you'd want intact is in space anyway. All in all it's a nice thought, but it just doesn't fit in my mind

Reply to Kostura Cannon in Strategy Sins Forums

[quote who="Taranabug" reply="3" id="2185922"] Kostura does the following things: Damages every ship and structure in orbit of the planet hit, disables them for a set time and lastly, opens a temporary phase lane for a fleet to use at any phase gate. That explains a lot. In a recent game I couldn't figure out how my ships were able to skip halfway across the galaxy to the targeted planet. This is what I've noticed: 2 or 3 shots from some Novaliths are usually en

[quote who="D Strider" reply="10" id="2185459"]Someone noted that the Advent, when played by the AI, seems to be weaker than TEC or Vasari. I've noticed a similar thing, where they just don't seem to hold up all that well. Personally, I think that's because of the "slow starter" nature of the Advent. It takes a little while to build them up, both in terms of economy and ship/fleet strength, but the AI doesn't seem to realize this. It'll rush too early, or fail to build decent defences, things
