I think if they ever make a sequel, even if it is the same as the first, meaning no campaign, they’ll retcon a lot of stuff. Like how you can get Titans and Starbases LONG before (or technically after) the lore claims you would and rather than starting with your empires, you start with a single planet in entirely different galaxies. A graphical engine was updated as well.That’s something I think they accidentally screwed up and purely because the game plays like a skirmish mode with no regards to the story. The expansion adds two new units into the gams: Loyalist and Rebel - delegates of any races can choose between them. Anomalies include asteroids, hostile environment, and ice fields.
While exploring the world, the player may stumble across habitable planets and anomalies which prevent the player from getting to the goal. So it would be impossible for instance to sell all of your metal to the friendly guild - after the wholesale, stock prices decrease and economy shifts towards them like real-life one. Key featuresĪs in usual RTS, the gameplay is centered around resource management - the title's economy consists of prices on Metal, Credits, and Crystal - each with the individual gain conditions. However, the campaign as a whole cannot be played offline. The gameplay process occurs exclusively in online mode, but single battles and succeeds against enemy AI is possible too.
The protagonist can be chosen out of three races: industrials, aliens and psychics each with unique special abilities. The point of the game is to conquer as many planets as possible using the given resources. It is also a strategy set in space with the science-fiction lore.
Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion is a first standalone and the third overall DLC to the original Sins of a Solar Empire title.
