Thanks and have a great 2025!

Where can I download the file Shadow empire update v1 26.16 from matrix?

Uploader gives the following error:

Unable to download file
An error occurred while trying to open an FTP file

That works... Had the same problem after install patch
Thanks!

would be nice to get the manual earlier - before game release.

looks good

Trying to do hard on TL3 start? That is ultra hard!<br/>
I started starting at TL4. You already got power tech and some rather important weapons like RPG's.

<t> 2nd time playing on hard and no success, Its just amazing how the AI just can do thinks.<br/>
This time no luck on energy research and game over – unable to keep industry growing at level of AI.<br/>
The research is too random – I must be able to tell my people to research solar panels … they ...

So I second this -- please please please give us more control, and most of all please change the final stage so it's not final and unable to be re-rolled. That right there is a big source of frustration and time-waste. I would class this ...

<t> Thanks all for the input.<br/>

I will keep the extra AI time. Reduce the planet size and try to reduce the number of majors in the game.<br/>
Sad, I will stop playing the game that I am running now. It is(was) an interesting match… upcoming war with a strong major, my logistics starting ...

No unless you buy a better CPU.

hmm ok. so my Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7700HQ CPU @ 2.80GHz 2.80 GHz is the problem!?
what is your average turn time?

<t> Is it worth giving the AI additional time (option at start of the game)? Playing on hard level and standard size map- having turns of 30 min.[:(] This is for my taste to long. Wat is the best setup?<br/>
Reduce the planet size and population? Disable the AI extra turn? … I like a challenge game ...

thanks - that makes it clear

What is the role of the secretary? Does it needs to have any specific skills?

<r> the lack of energy (and without a power plant or solar panel) is one of the fun management parts of the game - getting the solar panel in a earlier game is a toooo easy fix. <br/>
when bio fuel is the only solution - I need energy to extract water, energy to produce bio resources then a ...

My concern is, are the AI Majors having the same issues? Because I feel like they don't get bothered much by minors. I hope that is not the case. I would hate if it was only a challenge for the player

yes ...

Had the same experience from the OP
I am playing on beginner level and with only militia at start.
one comment here made me realize what the problem was….
Started a game with 1 army and that makes a huge difference – can handle raiders now..... thanks!

<t> Thanks for pointing me to the appendix G.<br/>
This was exact the info I needed.<br/>
<br/>
Had started already on scenario 5 – German side ( Stuck in the Teeth) . So far it looks like an unwinnable scenario. (After 6 matches) Every time I get too late in the exit.<br/>
Maybe I need a better ...

<t> I am new to this game.<br/>
Played the tutorial 3x times and manage the get a minor victory. (in the last to hours)<br/>
So far all fun – the game is giving the expected challenge.<br/>
