Sins: Diplomacy Pre-Orders Begin

By Yarlen Posted September 15, 2009 14:25:30External Link

Ironclad Games and Stardock Entertainment are pleased to announce pre-orders for the upcoming Sins of a Solar Empire micro-expansion, Diplomacy. After 25 years of war, some elements of the TEC, Vasari and Advent have grown weary of conflict and desperately seek a respite. The decision is made to attempt peaceful negotiations to end the wars, but others view this new effort at diplomacy as the perfect means to destroy their enemies from within.

Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy will add a new Diplomacy tech tree, new envoy cruisers, the ability to issue missions to other players, trade pacts, an entirely new relationship system, deadlier pirates and more.

Pre-orders for Sins of a Solar Empire: Diplomacy are available now for $9.95. This micro-expansion will require the full versions of Sins of a Solar Empire and Sins of a Solar Empire: Entrenchment to play. To pre-order, just head over to the Store.

Yay! Preordering today

Yay better pirates! Wonder if pirates have caps now

EDIT: Preordered

W00t.

No caps for pirates, as that doesn't fit in with the universe. They'll be getting an overhaul, though....just you wait and see. *evil grin*

As promised, my ten bucks are going right away, looking forward to the beta.

(Note to self: post more comments and less bugs that are features [e digicons]:S[/e] )

Bah, every store page gives me an error, i suppose i need to send some e-mail to support@stardock.com?

Excellent news. I will go preorder now. Good job guys.

PS keep supporting the game. If possible I would like a better online system where you can see how skilled the person you are up against is. Like ranks or something. I think if you redesigned ICO it would really help online gameplay in getting more popular. I used to play Age of Empires 3 a lot before and I think a system like that would work here nicely. Well that just my thoughts anyway. Still preordering, as I think you guys have the price spot on for the expansion and have designed a great game. Would love if you improved and added stuff to the online side of things though

EDIT: Preordered

Preordered.

Can't wait for the beta. Anyone know when it will be out?

I won't be preordering ... until later this evening, but it looks good!

Quite frankly, the better pirates is very nice, but the missions will give me more of a reason to play with unlocked teams on single player. I didn't really care for the mission system too much before because it wasn't equitable, but I think this will make a world of difference and give the game some new legs. Add the Envoy cruisers in for good measure, and you're looking at pretty darn good micro expansion.

Pre ording now!

Pre-Ordered! YAH!! Now when is the beta gonna be available???

Sweet. Now pirates won't just be "free xp"

I'd like to see a VO too (instead of text, it'd be funny but probably isn't happening. The only thing funnier than reading "Avast ye space rats!" would be hearing it)

Hey, guys. Guess who's back!

Anyway, I would've been on all summer, but my dad had to re-boot the computor b4 he left for overseas, so now the computor hardly works at all. *sigh* And I think the spare computor has a virus becuz everytime I go to a page it says that it's a "phishing" website! Google, wiki, here, you name it.

Anyway, so Defense and Diplomacy, huh? The last one will either be Doom (as in, the end of the war) or Arrival (as in, the enemy of the Vasari arriving, and the factions being forced to work together in order to fight it off).

I'll be sure to get Diplomacy once I get my comp. up and running!

NICE!!! Will do eventually....soon....I hope...

Now the question on everyone's mind...when does the Beta start?!!??!!!

-Phal

Arrival (as in, the enemy of the Vasari arriving, and the factions being forced to work together in order to fight it off).

Sup Com: Forged Alliance much?

I would *like* to preorder but when I head over to the store or go into impulse there is no "buy" link for the Diplomacy beta. The links are there for Sins / Entrenchment etc. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: Ok done now - I worked out how to do it through Impulse.

good work yarlen, by simply making this thread you made $110 already... in 6 hours... not including those that didnt post.

Yay

wtf, we can't preorder with paypal?
