How long is sins of a solar empire

I see how the ginormous game could be fun, with battles of an epic scale and such. But do the tech trees scale this large? Do you just wind up sapmming the uber units at the end? Or does it feel like your just playing in slow motion?

And what about the small scale? How exactly does the 20 minute match work? In most RTSes when you play on teeny maps, the game winds up being really brief and really tight, but always feels like it ends before it began. You never reach any significant tech level, and wind up losing due to some minor mistake.

What is the average lenght of most online games? Just curious. Locked Post. Search this post. Subscription Options.

Wow there's a lot in that post, let me talk about it a bit, I guess Firstly, the tech trees don't "scale" in the sense you're probably talking about.

Some of the smallest maps can take as little as minutes below that is pushing it due to the mechanics of the game.

You should be able to get a 1 to 1. If that isn't fast enough you can use the in-game Map Designer or Galaxy Forge free download to build the perfect map for the game you want to play. Oh, boo-hoo. Do a little research before you buy a game. They have substance. I never would have bought Sins if games were two hours maximum. How dull. But, at this point this RTS is rather busted because with one or two cheap strategies, you can win rather quickly Hint, want a quick game, spam Siege units, or spam carriers.

I would like to see a faster mode available so that small 1v1 maps will generally finish in 45 minutes and a cramped 2v2 in an hour or less. There is a problem with longer games in that most people want to finish a multiplayer game they started then and there. I don't think it's needed immediately but an option to open up the speed of this game a bit more on ICO should be somewhere on the agenda.

I love long games. But , unlike soem people I have stuff to do in the world. I play Age of Empires all the time and games get over in hours. I have a family that i love and want to spend time with. I dont have 6 hours a night to play. And i aslo like to play with other people. I dont find it fun to play with computers because you can't talk with them. I mean long games are fun but, could they add an option like fastest for a fast paced game that takes an hour.

Find some mates to play with and save the game to continue on another night. They may be long games but there ain't nothing to match the feeling of nuking your enemy into oblivion after a gruelling game. RTT's are games that concentrate on the battles and leave resources and base building out. From what I understood, this is a real time 4x game. To my knowledge this is the first one.

Without sim speed drops? Showing 1 - 5 of 5 comments. My sp games can last a few days or really quick depends on how agressive I am and how big the map is. There is a nice save feature so you can start and stop with buddies and the game works great.

I highly suggest looking at lots of gameplay videos so you can see what the game is like. There are several videos of people playing really long games and If I remember correctly there was someone who played an 18 hour game while recording not all at once of course and posted the video in segments each time he made progress.

PA:T games are usually minutes depending on the game setup, while this game is always longer than that.
