Its taken me 4 years to get moderately good tactics and skill with SOASE.
The abilities and power the gamer gets in this game is amazing and extremely addicting. Starting and practicing on the first, to eventually buying trinity and then to rebellion Ive found that Rebellion is by far the best in the series and in my opinion the best strategy game Ive ever played. Happily I was wrong, and this is by far my favorite game of all time. I bought the game thinking it would be just another one of those crappy made strategy games out there. Back on 2010 I found the first version of Sins of a solar empire in a target for 10 bucks. Starting and practicing on the first, to eventually buying trinity and then to rebellion Ive found that EXCELLENT GAME.
