I was pretty surprised when that eliminated my first 8 clicks.
Pretty sound strategy, so much so that in Rebellion quick start 2 scouts and the Capital Ship Factory are already waiting for you in the beginning, along side your planets mining facilities on asteroids already being built. Remember that your first Capital ship is free! With the shed load of Skirmishers you'll build you'll be able to fend off the enemy fine, and when they do come then build a few turrets near entry point.
As many Skirmishers as your unit cap can manage. 2 Scouts (send all available scouts to auto explore). When I start the game I always first create in this order: Get in here so we can discuss all the fun ways we screw over the computer. But requires a great deal of planning when you play on higher difficulties, without a solid strategy you simply can not keep up.īesides the point. I wont lie, the game is not overly complex. (enemy factions can blow up your trade ships and take away your money) You'll find more often than not that making alliances is the only way to survive giant games that span multiple solar systems, as managing your trade routes becomes problematic when they cross between enemy territory and someone you have a trade alliance with. The game strikes a good balance between waging war, managing your planets defenses while also allowing you to pursue diplomatic ways of winning games. Although admittedly matches start out outrageously slow, but by the time you start getting 5 planets in your empire you'll feel like you don't have enough time to deal with the constant barrage of attacks from your enemies fleets, pirates, or an enemies bomber squadron that only came through to blast your planet to pieces. It's a huge game with matches that can take anywhere from an hour to eight hours to complete. If any of you haven't ever heard of this game, and you're a fan of RTS, I would highly recommend you look it up. Sins of a Solar Empire/Entrenchment/Diplomacy/Trinity(all 3 of the previous) and now Rebellion (Stand alone expansion with all content) You'd only have to make one purchase for Rebellion now. Did a quick search of the PC gaming forum and didn't find anything for the game.įirst of all, to date there have been 5 releases for the game.
