What type of game is Sins of a Solar Empire?

Sins of a Solar Empire is a 2008 science fiction real-time strategy video game developed by Ironclad Games and published by Stardock Entertainment for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is a real-time strategy (RTS) game that incorporates some elements from 4X games; its makers describe it as "RT4X".

What is the best Titan in Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion?

What is the best titan? I like the ankylon the best because its abilities mean it is nigh-unkillable once it gets past level 3. Plus unlike some of the other titans, it is most advantageous to place it in the middle of an enemy fleet, to maximize damage and debuffs. The ragnarov is clearly the worst.

Does Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion have a campaign?

only the singleplayer. No, there is no campaign. The game does not have a scripted story campaign mode. Like classic 4X games like Master of Orion, you just jump into a game and build your powerful space empire.
