Got Sins and applied your mod. It was far simpler to mod the game than I expected. Played my first game last night with the puniest AI possible, with another AI as an ally to carry me while I figured out how to play. As I thought, this game is a lot of fun! I set the parameters to capitol victory, although for some reason victory was achieved militarily before I even reached the enemy homeworld.

The main thing I'm trying to figure out--moreso than actually how to play efficiently--is how to operate the camera. I can zoom in decently closely to ships, arrow to shift the camera, and right-click swing the camera in all kinds of disorienting directions. I haven't managed to find a truly cinematic angle for engagements, though, and can't seem to zoom in quite as closely as some of the videos I've watched have managed to do. Any tips on camera operation?

New member here--learned about the glory that is Ascendancy when YouTube recommended I take a look at the XP Gamers. I've since watched all of Shack's vids for this mod and watched a lot of Gul Dukat because he is MAGNIFICENT.

All in all, I am beyond hyped to play this.

I had never even heard of SOSE prior to finding vids for Ascendancy, but I love Empire at War and Ascendancy will offer a fresh experience for epic space battles.

Before I buy SOSE and download the mod and exhilarate myself with all of your amazing work, I have a question.

There's a Steam sale for SOSE that lasts until July 4th, and I'm definitely getting the game. However, I'm not sure if I need to get any of the DLC packs also.

Is there any content in Ascendancy that I would need to have Forbidden Worlds and/or Stellar Phenomena to access? Once I convert SOSE to this mod, I don't ever plan to return to the vanilla game--after all, Star Wars trumps all--but I don't want to miss out on any mod goodies that used DLC material as their base.
