Great job guys!  Your efforts towards helping the modding community have me particularly impressed.  That you could continue to improve your already great game, develop new "micro" expansions which revolutionize (in a good way) the gameplay, and adjust the nature of the game itself so as to give the modders an easier time blows me away.

You continuously demonstrate your great attitudes and respect for the people buying your game and I love it.  I look forward to playing and tinkering with future Stardock/Ironclad titles, as I am supremely confident in the quality of your work, and most importantly for your relationship with your customers.

Thank you, and please take a vacation.  You all most definitely deserve it.

How big is the download?

on Feb 27, 2009

About 100 MB.  Extracts to around 300 MB.

There are new updates for both the retail version of Entrenchment and the original Sins on Impulse . For Entrenchment it is 2 mb, while for the original Sins it is 10 mb. What kinds of updates are these anyway?

on Feb 27, 2009

You can right click in Impulse and select View History. I forget for vanilla, but for Entrenchment it's a hotfix to get mods working, fix for French crash, fix for some French/German characters not displaying properly, and changed the Orkulus reference in TEC's starbase research

Wait so do we need a digital download or can we buy this in stores like an expansion pack.

on Mar 02, 2009

It is download only, not in stores.

Oh, and not to say that the game is bad, it is really awesome! But I just have to report a spelling error. When a cap ship is severely damaged, the game says it is severly damaged, not a big problem, but it is one.

Just a question : I have the french version of sins so if i buy entrenchment, is there a french version or at least the english version of entranchment can coexist with the french one of sins vanilla ? I have been looking for that info but i didn't find it out.

 

I have no problem with an english version of entranchment, i just don't want to spend money for a game that can't run with my version of the game because of string issues or whatever evil hidden bug.

I'm almost 100% certain there's a French download of Entrenchment. It should pick it up from your Sins install. I don't remember mine asking me for the language, but I do believe language info is saved in the registry so it probably just checks it and downloads the right one.

The other supporting detail is that IC has hotfixed an issue for displaying some French/German characters, and a French-only crash.

okay, thank you very much ! I will buy it this week-end, i am really looking forward for the strategic possibilities of mines and starbase !
