Beginner looking for some replays

July 19, 2012 12:21:35 AM from Sins of a Solar Empire ForumsSins of a Solar Empire Forums

Hey everyone, I just got rebellion in the steam sales and I've been playing all day but I can tell there is A LOT to learn if I want to even stand a chance online. I am interested in improving but don't want to do it by playing a bunch of hours and trying to figure things out by myself, only to realise later that my strategies are laughably bad and I am playing the game completely the wrong way. I was curious as to whether there were replays I could look at of semi-decent players? I suppose they don't have to be good, they just need to know what they're doing so I can get a feel for things. If anyone has anything I could look at it would be much appreciated thanks

I'm also highly interested in some high-level replays.

Also, a commentated game would be amazing!! I found some Let's Plays but the ones I found were done by people who know less about the game than I do.

Look for two threads further down in this forum - one is a replay I posted and another has a long wall of text reply to someone about how to play. I'm not a top tier pro player but I can beat or at least put up a good fight against most players online. Early game is very very important - most of my losses have been from derping the early game by underestimating how quickly I was going to be rushed.

I'll try and post more replays when I get a chance, preferably a good balanced one with some back and forth of the frontlines.

There are some replays that have been posted, but you'll have to dig them up.  I recommend playing it in single player or in comp stomps for your first couple weeks because you'll get frustrated if you try to play it against real people online.  (There are some guys out there, like me, who have been playing it in online PvP since 2008.)
