This Saturday we will be playing the Mass Effect mod Dawn of the Reapers for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. For best practise we ask that you make sure the mod is installed and running properly before the event start time.

Our goal is to setup a large enough team PVP game with high speed settings on. If we wrap up sooner than expected we might also do a second game after the first.

As usual we will also be going live with a stream for the event that those who can not play will be welcome to watch.

Voice and text chat will be provided by the Stardock discord server.

Game Night: E4X – 30th November

We are scheduling a new game night for Sins of a Solar Empire for this upcoming Saturday. Hopefully this gives enough time for all our American friends to have recovered from Thanksgiving.

This time we will be playing the Extended 4X or just simply E4X mod. This mod changes and adds things to the base game building upon the existing 3 races and their subfactions. Please ensure you have it downloaded and working before joining the event.

Ironclad and Stardock have posted up a hotfix to Steam which should fix the following bug:

• Fixed Smuggling (income) and Corruption (loss of income) from not always being applied correctly.

Note: If you get a checksum or exe error in multiplayer, it's probably because one of the players hasn't updated their game yet. To fix, exit Sins, have Steam update the game and restart. :)

We are playing the latest update to the excellent Star Wars mod Thrawn’s Revenge II: Ascendancy. A total conversion mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion which adds Star Wars themed factions, units, music and more to the game.

Our hope is to have enough players involved to create a team player vs player game. If we are lacking players or depending on preference, we may end up doing a comp stomp instead. The game will be hosted on the official Sins of a Solar Empire Discord channel linked below and will be streamed.

If you are going to attend, please make sure you download the mod from the link above and make sure it is running before the event starts.

Voice and text chat will be provided by the Sins discord server.

Ironclad Games and Stardock are happy to announce the release of Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion version 1.94 today on Steam. This newest update includes a number of fixes, improvements and enhancements for modders. For a full change log, see the post on the Steam forums.

Add a whole new level of strategic dimension with the Minor Factions DLC! Fight against your enemies to exert control over upstart forces that have emerged outside the boundaries of the great powers. Crush them if you desire, but it might be wiser to let your diplomatic envoys persuade them to join your cause - their unique capabilities may prove to be the difference between your victory and your defeat!

LIMITED TIME ONLY: Save 10% through 1PM ET on 12/19





“Minor Factions” Gameplay Option - Enable the spawning of minor factions! A new set will spawn each match, keeping your games varied and interesting.

15 new minor factions - Persuade factions to join your empire so that you can cultivate their unique bonuses and abilities! Send your envoys to convince them to side with you and boost your empire through new strategic opportunities. Factions include:

• Nilari Cultists: These fanatical cultists command waves of suicidal martyrs, sacrifice their people for devastating effects, and indoctrinate nearby populations to accelerate their cause. Be careful, though - with the end being near, they don't always discriminate between friend and foe and it won’t matter whether you’ve won them to your side or not!
  
• Viturak Transport Cabal: Some Vasari technology is difficult to get ahold of, but this faction manages! Gain access to black market Vasari travel tech, including phase engine improvements and the ability to execute covert raids. If they let you into the back room, you may even find yourself with a stolen Antorak Marauder that you could pair with their local phase stabilizer...
  
• Grost Scrappers Union: Credits don’t discriminate, and neither does this faction! These underground human entrepreneurs accept payment from anyone. If you need an armor retrofit, a quick field repair, a great deal on resources, or even a place to convert those obsolete frigates into profitable scrap - these are your guys!
  
• 12 additional minor factions: No two are alike! Each provides abilities and advantages unique to their themes and roles, including mercenaries, xenophobes, pacifists, used ship dealers, demolition experts, resource miners, resistance fighters, arms dealers and more!

Sins of a Solar Empire blends the epic strategy and empire management of the 4X genre with the fast-paced and tactical elements of real-time strategy. You are the leader of a civilization embroiled in a galactic war, fighting for the survival of your entire race against relentless foes, and every decision you make (and every second that you take in making it) counts.

The DLC includes 15 new minor factions like the fanatical Nilari Cultists, who indoctrinate nearby populations for their suicidal rampages, or the Grost Scrappers Union, which can perform armor retrofits and convert obsolete frigates into profitable scrap, and the Viturak Transport Cabal, who will grant access to black market Vasari travel technology.
