I then chose a medium, random galaxy with no special victory conditions. For this game, I chose the Vasari Rebels because I liked the idea of trying to get everyone working together for the common good (though this didn’t last long).

Each of these six factions thankfully have some differences, such as the titans they can build and so on, to help keep the game fresh through repeated sessions. Rebellion mixes this up by splitting each race into two factions, basically loyalists and rebels. There are three main races in Rebellion, the TEC (humans), the Vasari and the Advent. Now, with that in mind, please enjoy the first installment of my look at Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. Neither of my typical programs wanted to work with Rebellion for some reason, so I had to manually take them myself with Steam, and I suuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck at taking my own screenshots. Secondly, I apologize for the low amount of screenshots. Well it’s true, that article was the first time I’d ever played a Sins game, and this will be the second, so be aware I’m playing this game as someone who never played the original. Cant say Ive had the same experience when I went a game with no Capital Ships, as the Pirate Base battle must have killed 1/3 of a fleet of over 50 well upgraded illuminators - although that might just have been their 'shadows' now that I think about it.

First, after I published my preview a while back, I got yelled at by fans of the game on Facebook for being a “n00b”. Pirate Bases have more health than any other planet in the game, 6900 to be exact, which can be a pain. Before I begin the first installment of this review, a couple of caveats.
