RE: Just some wishes about strategic resources

<t> I didn't read through all of the comments here, but are smuggling missions still a thing? That felt like it was more of a band-aid in DW1 to address resource shortages early on, but it was kind of nice to have a positive side to the pirates. I have not noticed any mention of it for DW2.<br/> <br...

RE: Bacon Mod

No change for me except that the older file does not trigger my antivirus.

Roger, is it possible to have a build with debug info that dumps to the screen when an exception happens?

RE: "Hyping" my forthcoming mod (pun intended)

Wonderful work Roger, but I'm still experiencing crashes. The game just exists, I don't get any other messages. I was not having any issues before the initial upgrade. I'm going to try a vanilla Bacon Mod game and see how it works.

RE: Looking for more 3D Modelers for Distant Worlds 2

Can you clarify if the artist/modeller would be building assets for a game engine (with poly count & lod optimizations) or just generating pre-rendered sprites?

RE: Planetary Invasion & Expansion Problems

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Aeson<br/> Check the design for the troop transport, look for the Invasion setting, and make sure that this is set to something that isn't "never invade."

RE: Planetary Invasion & Expansion Problems

<t> Thanks so much for the responses. I think there's a difference between and attack order vs an invade order. Doesn't the attack order have the cross-hair cursor and invade have the arrow cursor?<br/> <br/> When I select my troop transports and right click on the planet nothing happens except for ...

Planetary Invasion & Expansion Problems

<t> I have a bit of an issue where I can't take over any planets outside of my sector. I think I may have set the game to have 1-1.5 sector colonization range.<br/> <br/> If there's no way to colonize planets because they are out of range, can I just attack them? I am trying to take a planet that ha...

RE: Naval Action - anyone try it yet?

Reminds me of Pirates of the Burning Sea, I had to do a bit of research to make sure it wasn't from those guys.

RE: Which game do you enjoy

Twotribes, That's been me with AGEOD games. I have 5 of them, but I've only played them superficiality. I just haven't quite figured out the angle to get deep into the tactics, but I know when I do get there it'll be a blast.

RE: Which game do you enjoy

<t> My favorite is definitely Distant Words: Universe. I've put in about 500 hours and the game is still one of my favs. I recently purchased Command: Modern Air/Naval Operations and picked up War in the West today. Since I'm not terribly familiar with the detailed military history and lingo of thos...
