RE: The "infantry problem"

<r> I just came across this "infantry problem" last night. I was really enjoying the little scratch scenario I set up when my infantry started getting plastered by an enemy armor formation. As others have related, it happened to me when my forward units, which I placed at the edge of a town, was ...

RE: anybody play this?

<t> Just out of curiosity I re-installed and logged in to see if the MP portion was alive. While it looks like there is only 1 server now, I saw there were 51 people online. I requested a match and it found me a MP game in about two seconds. So it looks like this game is still quite alive. Just FYI ...

I really like the clean look of the UI! Slick and easy to read.

RE: The 3 simple things you'd like to see in Distant Worlds

<r> 1) Meaningful ship/star base classes: Each class should have a distinctive tech tree with unique equipment for that class. For example a destroyer should not be able to use battelship-sized lasers, and while a battleship could use the smaller equipment from a destroyer/cruiser, there should be ...

<t> I've had a hankering to try my hand at an operational level wargame - something I haven't wanted to do in quite some time. DC looks like it would make for a great return point. But I have one question:<br/>

Are you limited to playing the game from the German side? Or can you play the ...

Ranges are far, FAR too great. Why is there no option for something like greatly limited ship ranges? It should be a challenge to cross the entire galaxy, but instead, it's pretty trivial in DW. In fact, this probably plays a big role in the ICS ...

RE: Reputation not being affected much?

On one hand, I like that fact that the AI doesn't pile on from day 1 as it often does with other games, but on the other hand I do find myself becoming bored in most games. In my last few ...
