I love the Planet Destroyer; used it many times but never had the problem that you are having. That sounds really terrible. <br/>
In 1 game, I was Monarchy, using the human looking aliens with the big brain cranium, and used the Planet Destroyer at least ...

RE: Game Stopper

<t> Erik, your reply is fantastic! I totally agree with your points there.<br/>

Perhaps this militia generation would be something akin to Civilization 2 where Partisan Troops would spontaneously appear near a large city that had been taken over by an unpopular foe. Often enough, they were ...

RE: World Annihilator

As an aside,

I wonder if the WA is in every game? It certainly has been in all of mine. But, I can't say that I am glad. I am beginning to feel like,"Oh, there it is again. Guess I had better take it over and kick some @ss with it like last game..."

RE: Minor Request: Fix the Time Scale

<t> I brought this up a while ago in a different thread. <br/>
<br/>
I think that it should be adjusted into weeks. Or something else. It just seems rather strange to colonize 100 worlds or grow 110x over a meagre 10-15 years! And fit in all the wars etc that constitute this fantastic game.<br ...

RE: Wishlist Compilation

<t> I am not saying that it is easy. I just think that the game moves day by day (which is great) but some things, like the colonization of worlds, exploration and population growth on planets for example, move along far too quickly.<br/>

I don't see how millions of new citizens can be ...

RE: late game borg like invasion

I actually have been waiting for the "old aliens" to show up much like the random attacks from Antares in Master of Orion 2. What a brilliant game mechanic that was in that game!

Yeah, I thought the same thing! But, the game is also giving kudos to older 4x games like Master of Orion 2 IMO

Fishman:

I have seen the planets reduced to asteroid fields so that just might be possible!

PS: A Warp Interdictor on your Constructor? Brilliant idea! And, that clearly explains why the PD didn't retreat. [:)]

RE: How does this stack up to Gal Civ II

<t> I certainly like the combat more in DW than Gal Civ 2!<br/>
<br/>
Plus, I like the graphics better in this game and the main screen, too. But, to enjoy DW, you certainly need to get rid of the damn stock warning sound (check the mods)!<br/>
<br/>
I would also have to disagree that Gal Civ 2 ...

RE: Play in window and/or alt-tabbing support?

<t> I hope that the windowed mode comes along some day. <br/>
Alt Tabbing is great. But, I have a 30 inch monitor and would like to be able to multi task. Plus, some of the windows are a bit hard to read when the game is on my screen. I find myself leaning very close to the monitor to play at ...

Really? That sounds bizarre! Unless you have an uber construction ship of some kind!

I really cannot fathom how you could have done that. Maybe some kind of bug?

<t> Actually, it isn't indestructible. I have played around with it a fair bit. Certain weapons can suck the shield down pretty fast.<br/>

But, it seems to me that, it is the most powerful single "ship". With a half decent fleet to protect it, watch out! It is so much fun to attack the ...
