Install Order for all DW products

I have Distant Worlds, Shakturi, and Legends.

I have just built myself a shiny new machine.

Is there a preferred install sequence, now we have multiple add-ons and patches?

RE: Font Size and tech screen

<t> Agreed...&nbsp; The font styling at the smaller point sizes are very hard to read.&nbsp; My screen resoultion is 1680x1050 on a 20 inch viewsonic.&nbsp; If I try to reduce the resolution, to make the fonts bigger, they end up being very fuzzy edged because of the scaling.&nbsp; I know this is a ...

RE: Master Wishlist Thread

Multi-player.&nbsp; AI play is boring.&nbsp; Computers are anti-social to begin with.&nbsp; A game this big and complex deserves turn based multi-player, with replay.&nbsp; AKA Battlefront's CM series WEGO.

RE: cant get into multiplayer

Thanks..... That works.....

Now all you have to do is add direct peer to peer network games.&nbsp; After all, if you guys ever go belly up, the network games will go with you.
