Well, I recently discovered a game called "Sins of a Solar Empire"
WOW is it awesome!
In the smallest maps, you battle your opponent to take over an entire solar system. For each planet you capture, you have to control the economies, build up their defenses, and build various space stations like shipyards and such. considering there's usually +10 planets per solar system, it can get pretty confusing.
But that's just one solar system. The medium maps have 3 or MORE solar systems, and the largest maps are literally GALAXIES
Where this game really shines is it's space combat. You build HUGE starfleets to combat your foes EQUALLY HUGE starfleet, and then they fight in some seriously intense battles. How would you like to watch & control a battle where there are over 100 starships?
The best part of the game, however, is when you capture a planet. If it's neutral, you just send in a small fleet to wipe out the (innocent) local militia, then send in a colony frigate or capital ship with a colonizing ability. The end.
If that planet is owned by one of your opponents, however, then you NUKE IT! YESZ!!
And I don't mean a few nukes here and there on important cities. Oh, nonono... You send in every capital ship & siege frigate you have in your attacking fleet, and they literally bombard the planet with HUNDREDS of nukes! WOOHOO!
It's kinda funny, tho: You're an advanced race, with weapons that could lock onto a dime... and you're spraying enemy planets with nukes without aiming at anything until the cities blow up
All that aside, this game ROCKS! Nothing like wiping out civilizations and causing millions of innocent species to go extinct!

PS - I got this game from a friend who didn't want it anymore (got bored). This means the key code has been used, so I don't think I can vs anyone online. Not that I care; the smallest map literally lasts +4 hours, so I wouldn't have the time, even with the saving feature
However, I remember installing and playing Call of Duty PC multiple times on different school computers (during study hall of course
), and I could play it online no problem. Does anybody know if the same is true with Sins?
