You may have thought your capital ships were big, just wait until you see your Titan ship!Įach faction and sub-faction have specific bonuses and potential advantages over another. The first is a Corvette, small cheap and good for harassing the enemy or fast scouting. There are only 2 new ships added, but one is a real game changer. Generally, the Loyal factions are defense-orientated, and the Rebel factions are offense-orientated.Įvery faction and sub-faction now has new research and ships. The additions added in Rebellion however do change the gameplay a fair amount.Įach of the original sides – TEC, Advent, and Vasari – have now split into Loyal and Rebel factions. The gameplay is overall similar to the original installments. The game also allows you to spread your culture this is much like your influence in other 4X games. All of these sources of income can be increased through research or specialised buildings such as Trade Centres for credits, orbital refineries to increase your crystal and metal income, and so on. The greater the population on the planet, the more tax you receive. You also gather Tax from each planet you colonise. The new TEC Loyalist Titan Class against the new Corvette Class and the Original Capital Ship on the far right. Each planet, moon, dwarf planet or asteroid can have any number of mineral mines, comprising of either Crystal or Metal. Although with Sins you don’t build a base, you build a colony, and you can explore other systems and colonize more planets.
Rebellion, as with Trinity (The name for the original Sins of a Solar Empire and the two micro expansions, Entrenchment and Diplomacy), is a 4X Space RTS that follows along the lines of the standard RTS theme: build a base, gather resources, build units, and kill your opponent. Now that the game has been officially released, I decided to join in on the mass reviews Ironclad has been getting. As the name suggests, this expansion is about a rebellion where the three factions from the first game have each split into “Loyalists” and “Rebels.” This all sounds great – now I have six sides to choose from and play! So, as soon as pre-purchase was available, I ordered up, got myself into the beta and tested away, finding a few issues and helping balance the gameplay. Now Ironclad is back with a stand alone expansion Rebellion. Ah Sins of a Solar Empire my old friend, it seems a long time since I originally reviewed the first installment and the two micro expansions for it.
