Sins of a Solar Empire is often described as a 4XRTS game, or a game that tried to merge the action and tactics packed gameplay of a Real time strategy game with the deep, complex, empire wide strategy of a 4X turn based game. It's up to debate whether Sins succeeded in this goal, but I think all can agree that of the 4Xs of "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate", Sins is much more focused on the exterminate than on the others. This mod seeks to give more depth to the other 3Xs of the game by adding additional game elements or refining the existing ones to reward players who give more strategic thought to the non-combat side of the game. Combat will still be the center point of the game, but players will find that the non-combat options available will be much more rewarding. Spying, exploring, sabotage, diplomacy, culture, and economic development have all been added or changed in innovative new ways. Regardless of what you think Sins is, this is the 4XRTS it should have been.

good.... ty
Would we still be able to use the Optional-MiniMods with 1.8?
There will be another minimod update coming out in the next few days. A lot of minimods like resetting titan levels or expanded research SHOULD still work, but a handful of them like Deathmatch will not (or at least, doing so will prevent some of the new things from working right). Feel free to ask about any specific ones.
Very Specifically will the following work?
-Enhanced AI
-No Superweapons
Both should still work.
Those should work.
I use the expanded research, exploding mines, and deathmatch optionss. I know 2 will work but what does the deathmatch option screw up?
Also forgot to ask about the updated galaxy forge. When do you plan to release an updated one?
When the minimods are updated.
Makes sense. I have been noticing a texture problem. Sometimes stuff wont seem visible. Or it is but you can see through it. I think it's an FPS issue, however I do have LAA running. If I kill the game and restart it, then it's fine. I noticed that the mouse icon disappears as well. I am forced to use the system cursor. I can send you a save file if need be, the most recent one has my Ogrevs blasting an invisible Argonev to pieces.
Will exploding mines work?
And thank you for the update! I'm gonna play it right now!
Yup!
Excellent mod! Minor bug report for version 1.8, there appears to be a graphical glitch with the Coronata titan. Looks like a missing texture or a mesh issue.
You know, I vaguely remember reading about this in the Vanilla game. But perhaps I can track down a fixed version. Do you have a screenshot?
I just loaded up the game this evening to get a screenshot of the issue and I'm not able to reproduce it. It happened in the menus so it may have been the cinematic titan rather than the in game one (I believe they're separate entities). I'm going to chalk it up to an engine quirk or a caching issue as it appears to be gone now.
cant say why its happening.. but random (witch we know it aint but some things lands at the wrong time) when scroling to zoom the program crashes :)

Great mod
and run this mod with the new Version 1.83 ?
It does now. Moddb.com
Doesn't work for 1.83, so ******* mad right now.
Hey GoaFan77, i was wondering if this mod has the disable superweapons, option? If so how do you access it? Thanks!
All extra options like that can be found in the minimod package that gets released with this mod. Moddb.com
The new 1.83 patch has made some of the minimods a bit wonky though, so it's sort of hit or miss with them right now. But No Superweapons is working for some people at least, and hopefully it will all be straightened out by the next update.
