I do arm some stuff as well, though it feels kind of wrong that the civilian sector has to pay for my heavily armed mining stations. To make it a harder choice, why not have ...

<t> This made me laugh. [:D]<br/>

I'd say keep it. I imagine some disgruntled explorer sending in his latest finding to the imperial database of astronomical bodies and deciding to do some trolling. Or an explorer getting a kaltor on his sensors just as he is recording his latest find ...

<t> I do arm some stuff as well, though it feels kind of wrong that the civilian sector has to pay for my heavily armed mining stations. To make it a harder choice, why not have the maintenance for any stations or ships that's more than a gun or two come out of the state budget? That way I'd still ...

Totally Swedish dudes, the dark north full of forests and crap, though now it's mostly just cold, white and dark.

<t> Another workaround while waiting for a fix is giving them mining and military refueling rights in your territory. From that point onwards your automated ships will ignore the Guardians, though of course they will build quite a bunch of mining stations in your territory. Mostly you can even get ...

Just chiming in that I love this AAR as well, a lot more entertaining to read about an empire having a hard time than one steamrolling the opposition. So, in short: MOAR!

<r> Wonderful with the quick patching going on! I played this game first when it came out, and found it a fun toy to play with for a while. Now, with the expansions applied and some smoothing out, it has turned out to a real diamond. The living universe makes it feel like the spiritual 4x companion ...

<r> Personally, I like how it is abstracted away. There are some foodstuffs among the luxuries that promote growth, and that's fine. Handling food simply isn't interesting for me on an empire wide basis. Also, as some have said, a civilization that has come to the point of being able to undertake ...

So, is there any way to go back to the 1.7.0.1 patch? Seems like it is deleted from the member download area. :/

<t> About the info about the techs, yes, it could indeed be quite a bit more informative. I also always like the small blurbs and story connections you get with some games (SMAC is probably the best ever in this regard. The Fall from Heaven 2 mod for Civ4 is also top notch). On the other hand, I can ...

<r> 1. Make ECM work better against seekers than guns. Since there are two components supposedly communating with (I just assume they are networked somehow since targetting comps work for missiles as well, if not, there's no way you could or would protect and harden the electronics in a missile as ...

<t> What I'd really want to hear more about is the design goals of Code Force. Disregard the bugs, since those naturally are there for fixing. What are you guys extra happy about? What areas of the game didn't turn out as you thought? Where, generally, are future update and possible expansions ...

You are correct, I assumed Racial tech was better than regular tech and provided a ...

<t> I'll reserve my judgement about the feel of the races and government combos until I can play through a full game, though I can say that my Teekan Merchant Republic felt a lot different from my Mortalen Despotism for the extent I got to play them. Big changes to races to make them more unique are ...

<t> Just had to make this thread, since I thoroughly enjoy so much of it (the art that is). Every single planet and moon is beautiful, and the ship designs look like this quirky, organic mix that gets me thinking of pixel art, sci-fi manga/anime designs and a bunch of older sci fi series. The ...

<t> I'm fine with it. I've had AI empires find and repair world destroyers before me a couple of times, and unless you're right up there in tech they do present a bit of a challenge, which I like. On the other hand, as I think I wrote somewhere earlier, I wouldn't be foreign to having the larger ...

I use one of my cruisers (usually the only one at the beginning of the game [:D]) in the beginning to roam the galaxy by hand, to investigate "strange things ...

<t> Yeah, I definetely like how DW seems to be in a borderless full screen window. Works almost flawlessly with 2 monitors (though I can't scroll the map by moving the cursor to the right edge since my secondary monitor is there). Alt-tabbing also works very well, with the game correctly overlaying ...

<t> I agree about this, I have seen it a couple of times as well. Tiny empires have no business attacking giants 10 times their size unless they feel that their target is hated enough that this might make larger fish join in on the attack. Though care should really be taken to not draw the smaller ...

Yeah, great news indeed, since I had the same crash.
