Re: Scott's Guide to DW2 available for download

An amazingly well done guide.

I have over 3000 hours in Stellaris, and 250+ games in my library. DW2 stumped me for 2 hours before I exited and went to find YT Vids -- and happily stumbled on this great PDF.

I mention my previous experience gaming, because I have rarely been unable to figure out ...

Distant Worlds purchase from 2010 has no download link.

<t> Hail Gents,<br/>

I bought Distant Worlds on first release, and then also the Shakuri expansion (2010 or so) <br/>

1st off I can't find a link to download the games off of Matrix.<br/>

RE: Giving DW another whirl

<t> Well I just found it very tedious to go through a huge list of ships (I started a game with a somewhat "established" empire)and nothing like a "transfer" box (ie: [Fleet 1] < > [Fleet 2]). I had sent many ships to the same planet to refuel...and well you know how messy that can get.<br/>

RE: Giving DW another whirl

hmmm. In the Ships screen I basically had to filter by "Military Ships", then scroll to find the ship I wanted to transfer to a fleet or new fleet. Is this the only way to assign ships to fleets besides right clicking each one?

RE: Giving DW another whirl

<r> Thanks for the "lowdown" gents. I've been wanting this game to be a winner since I first heard about it so I'm in for the expansion. I'm hoping RotS has cleared up some issues like this one:<br/>

Why can't you transfer ships between fleets from the "View Fleets" window? Really?<br/>

Giving DW another whirl

<t> After waiting a long time for the dust to settle with this game, I'm trying it again. I bought it the day it came out, and "let it go" for a few weeks while reading the forums and knowing that I should wait for it to get the kinks out. <br/>
<br/>
So I'm now wondering if the Shakturi "add on ...

RE: Where's the activity

<t> Steam will fire up your games connected or not. There is a setting to "play in offline mode" and you just select it in the Steam software. I worried about that too one weekend when my whole building had some "cable upgrade" -- but my worst fears were allayed. I have never had a major issue with ...

RE: What the Genre Needs

<t> Adding a EFS style flavour to DW would make an already epic game, Mega Epic. I just don't know how the developer would handle various species "Blood Lines" and "Dynastic Intermarriage" as many don't necessarily have blood. And only the Gawds know how they might reproduce amongst themselves, much ...

New Social Site to get "Buzz" going for DW

<r> Hail Gents,<br/>
<br/>
I dabble in marketing at my web tech company, and we heard about this new (yet oddly different) social site called "Gravity" and I decided to open up a thread (called an "orbit") about DW there.<br/>

Many in the industry think this site will do well in the up ...

Considering there are so many different font types out there, this one was definitely a bad choice. But at least it's not Red :-)

Hang Tough Ken! If you read some of the other posts on the forum, you will see that there is a plan in place to make the text more readable (many others have mentioned this issue).

RE: Battles Need A Lot Of Work A lot

<t> I wasn't saying to eliminate supply. I also have a love/hate relationship with the well implemented logistical side of war gaming. And I agree that it's very rewarding to manage a "Fleet on the Move" better than your opponent does. And see the effects of careful stockpiling and planning.<br ...

<t> I agree with Solops. Give us the option to turn off "supply" for any newly started game. Q: Utilize Supply in this game? Checkbox: No. Problem solved.<br/>

RE: Bombard enemy troops on planet prior to invasion?
