<t> I'm doing everything myself. After a LONG time (couple hours of gameplay) it stopped doing it. Actually, right after some more pirates tried to ransom me. <br/>
<br/>
If it happens again I'll take screenshots. As for the questions: I turn off all automation. It is annoying. Even so, the little ...

Oh yeah, good point. I'm running Win 7.

My laptop runs XP.

didn't think of that, but no. I've blown up all the bases I can find.

<t> I'm sure someone has already asked this question, but a brief search didn't find it.<br/>
<br/>
Why does your empire sometimes lose 8-15k out of your treasury every game year, even if you have a positive income? Mine has a +9k (est) and I get up to about 6000 credits and then at the end of the ...

<t> I think I've figured it out!<br/>

/sarcasm on The 1.0.3 World Annihilator is so powerful, the 1.0.2 universe cannot handle it! [:D] /sarcasm off<br/>
<br/>
In all honesty, I don't know why the game I started after the patch crashes. HOWEVER, I loaded the game on my laptop and played a 1.0 ...

<t> Ok something else.<br/>
<br/>
I REALLY like that you allow ship templates with the load/save designs feature. But there is one problem: you cannot choose to have it erase all the designs on the board and load in a completely new template. <br/>
<br/>
I figured this out by building a template ...

Resupply ships, or any ship, are tankers/tenders(at fleet refuel and repair ships) if you design them with the appropriate components.<br/>

<t> Two more things I've noticed:<br/>
<br/>
1. The AI doesn't appear to build ships bigger than a destroyer, well maybe the occasional cruiser, until it gets into a war. By then it is too late...<br/>
<br/>
2. Tankers? Where are tankers? I'm surprised that we cannot build ships smaller then the ...

<r> Sorry took to long to edit for what I knew was a question coming <E>:)</E><br/>

It was started after the patch.<br/>

EDIT: And to answer the original question about the error message - I have no idea. I've long since deleted those autosave games. I've had some time off to play <E ...

I am using the new version of DW, v1.03

The patch came out two days after I bought DW, and I didn't find the world annihilator before I patched. However, I started this game the day of the patch and played all day long to find the annihilator.

<t> PS. One more thing I had to post before I go: <br/>
<br/>
For ship design two things:<br/>
<br/>
1. Upgrades should simply append a number "1" or something like "v1" on the end of your existing ship name. Or better, pop-up a window asking for the name with this already suggested (so players ...

<t> I just found, captured, and sent the world annihilator to blow up a continental world of my current opponent...<br/>
<br/>
BOOM! YAY! GAME CRASH.<br/>
<br/>
What?<br/>
<br/>
I reloaded it twice more from autosave and it crashes. I saved it in a regular save and it crashes. I had it go to my ...

<t> I see that there are numerous threads about being new, and what players see, but I don't want to add to an ongoing thread. Before I begin I want to state that, as a VERY experienced 4X gamer, I found this game and could find very little about it - and it turned out to be a diamond in the rough ...
