How can I get into Sins?

I picked up Sins and its expansion in the hopes of getting into a critically acclaimed RTS (I love RTS' with base building and empire management), but holy hell, this game is SLOW. Most of the time im sitting around waiting for things to happen, where it should be the other way around! How do I get into this game??

I tried the first one and I just couldn't get into it. By design, it should be a really good RTS. It has the gathering, building, decisions, and fighting like any other game. Although, for some reason, it also fails to suck me in. I just don't feel like its a RTS. I'm not sure why.

The sims is NOT an RTS. Yes its real time and there is some strategy to it. But it's a freaking life simulator, no RTS.

No one in this topic has mentioned "The Sims", the TC is talking about "S I N S" or "Sins of a Solar Empire" to give it the full title. Now Sins of a Solar Empire is a real time strategy game.

I am having the same problem as the TC I just can't get into this game, I will persevere at it but I guess I just have to chalk it down to it not being "my kind of game". Not too bummed out about it though it was only a couple of quid and they often say "nothing ventured, nothing gained".

Have you tried increasing game speed via the fast-forward button? That helps me when I'm in the early stages of the game

Keep trying it, but its just not a game for some people ive come to relize.

I love it so far but it's pretty damn hard, even on easy mode. I'll be fine about an hour into a round, conquering planets all over the map, when suddenly a gigantic enemy fleet 5 times bigger than mine starts butt-raping my planets one by one. Still, it's pretty fun to watch yourself get owned in cinematic mode.

WOW! That was so sloppy. Sorry for the screw up guys:P
