Before the end of the year.

How close are you to 50%?? [&o]

Not an easy game to learn, but so worth it.

Not that I'm a master or even really know how to play it well. I just know how to pretend like I know how to play it.

DasTactic series is how I got started, and reading most of the manual in my downtime.

I've owned it since day 1 on Matrix, but I'm waiting for the Steam release, mostly so I can brag to all of my Steam friends who don't have this game or even know what it is, how awesome this game is. [:D]

I'm waiting for the Steam release. I already put in 70 hours, so I can wait for now.

I still excited to jump back in when it reaches that milestone.

<t> Looking great! If you remade all the 2D cards, leader faces, and game screens, and sold it as an official DLC, I'd happily buy that. [:)]<br/>
<br/>
The only art that I don't think needs to be remade are the units on the battlemap.<br/>
<br/>
As for the terrains graphics, I like most of it ...

Just had a quick look at the new "Planet History" options. Totally impressed. Seriously a major improvement to the world generation. Also opens up some totally new possibilities, both to make the game easier, and much harder. This is how you do updates. Well done Vic!

I absolutely love the cards, Pymous. I will use these right away whenever you are finished. [&o]

I'm also in favor of a mod menu in game.

<t> I'm looking forward to trying out the changes when I get some time, hopefully this weekend. I didn't think the previous system was horrible, just needed a few changes. I welcome Vic's attempt to please everyone and potentially provide us with a superior gameplay experience at the same time. <br ...

It's difficult to describe how much I really dislike the Slither launcher. [:@]<br/>

The current logistic system is pushing logistical capacity where it is not needed unless told not to do that.<br/>
So every time the private open up a new farm, the entire logistical system of your empire goes into chaos, as thousands of ...

My point again is it's possible to stabilise most, though not all, situations. <br/>

Agreed. The game (on beginner) is not as hard as you guys are making it sound here. While I certainly find the low-tech ...

Just make this part of the "Custom Planet" screen.

Custom Planet = set just about any planet you want with tick boxes and sliders.

Useful. Thanks.

Excellent. Installing now. [:D]

<t> Moon planet, beginner, 22 turns to win.<br/>
<br/>
Siwa small, beginner, 80 turns. Quit after I discovered I missed all early-game power techs and had no ability to generate power. Easily would have been 100+ turns if I didn't quit.<br/>
<br/>
Several other games on going. I think small maps ...

I think it's supposed to be a canyon? Of all the map tile graphics, it's the only one I don't like.

An owl.

SSD / NVME drive helps.

You can also turn off "Show AI turn" in the prefs and that will save you around 10 seconds.

What, you've never seen Star Wars? [:D]
