Thanks very much, grabbed a physical copy [:)]

<t> If you use the Steam version is there no going back? For example I turned my Trackmanias into Steam version and now there are features ONLY available to the non-Steam version and I can't go back. So, if I turn my DW into Steam can I still install it and use the matrix key without Steam in the fu...

Thanks Das! I will watch these when I get home tomorrow [:)]

Yup, very interested here too [:)]

<t> Unless Eliott changed it the AI focuses on colony techs no matter which race it is.<br/> <br/> As far as I am aware the AI focusses on the things it is set to focus on by race (I haven't modded for a while,*I think* it used to be 3 things but it may be more now) and on top of that all AI players...

<t> Colony prevalence is how rare or common colonizable worlds are. <br/> <br/> Set it higher and you will see higher quality planets set it lower and a lot of worlds will be lower quality. Even on the lowest setting which I always use I have never seen a continental planet not worth colonizing, whi...

<t> I believe the entire point of the setting was to stop the pre-legends craziness of overlapping empires, it came in at about the same time as territory was introduced, which also obviously plays a role in stopping this. Anyone who played the original DW should be able to remember the madness of n...

<t> Has anyone thought about the strategic consequences of the feature? Colony techs are much more important if you play with a 1 or 2 sector limit... or improved invasion troop techs perhaps? While massing explorers and maybe even researching hyperdrive or fuel storage techs may be more important w...

I always play with it turned on too, but I set it to 5 [:D]

<t> @mikeCK<br/> <br/> What Empire were you spying/stealing from? If it is a race that has a lot of agents or bonuses on agents I believe that would put your agent in more danger without telling you about it in the % chance (counter intelligence). I'm not sure about this, but that is what I have alw...

<r> I like the new economy too, I've still managed to get a very healthy amount of cash going, but not as well as in Legends. One thing I'd like to point out: PLANETARY DEFENCE UNITS COST A LOT TO MAINTAIN! Found that out the hard way, do not, repeat: DO NOT replace all defending troops with Planeta...

I *think* the Shakturi story is partly based on the overall tech level and or military power of the entire galaxy, so starting low won't bite you in the rear, it will just delay the time until it happens. Not 100% sure though.

<t> I honestly haven't had a crash in DW since the last patch was introduced for Vanilla DW before the release of RoTS! That is a couple hundred hours of gaming I'd imagine. Shadows runs a lot smoother than Legends though, especially scrolling (and the speed the expansion planner updates, or am I ju...

<t> It is WAD, but I also preferred the Legends way of displaying these icons. The dark colours now are hard to tell which kind of ship icon it is (Dark blue that Kiadian usually use for example). <br/> <br/> I love the graphics engine and performance overhaul, a lot of things look much nicer and cr...

<t> It is when the private sector buys from you, i.e. uses your spaceport to build a freighter. So, if your private sector is growing you will see much more bonus income. You can usually see a leap in your bonus income when you colonize a new planet or build a new spaceport or get a trade deal becau...

<t> Hey guys,<br/> <br/> You really need to remove the limit on how many empires you can manually add in the start screen. For some reason it is set to the same as number of races in the game -1. So if you use a mod that adds new races you can have more empires starting.<br/> <br/> In Shadows your p...

I'm guessing you will get 4 boxes. The bundle deal simply gets you all the products for a bundle price, you still have to install each one seperately [:)]

<t> To the guy above, where was the game installed previously? Was it in Program Files or Program Files(x86)? Or was it just in C:Matrix Games?<br/> <br/> I only ask because Program Files and Program Files(x86) are not good places to install games especially if you have UAC enabled (which you should...

<t> Hey Mansen, since your new, welcome and just be aware the odd story of real-life space exploration and scientific discovery is posted in the Distant Worlds forum aswell as the odd "off-topic" post regarding various other sci-fi that may be of interest to DW fans. It is quite a small, close-knit ...

Excellent news! As a lot of others, really looking forward to this one. Good work as always Matrix!
