<t> Why put it on random? That will give you the chance to have an easy game.<br/>

I followed instruction to make the hardest possible game before. If you think that you have a better 'Harsh environment' I can possibly even try it out. The point is not proficiency, the point is a curiously ...

DW is a 4x, not an RTS. There's no reason it couldn't have a little more depth than simply 'kill your opponents'.

Unfortunately DW is an RTS and, by definition, not really deep in planets/civilization development. Without more things to do in ...

No tech for this, it's just a convention like the Neutral Zone in ST. In 4x games where this is used it does have a big impact: you can have an influence victory, turn enemy worlds to your side etc etc. As I said before, I'm 50-50 on this.

Galaxy Quest

Sigourney with t!t$ !! that was really Science Fiction.

BTW Space - Above and Beyond, practically DW on TV.

I like to use mine for Counter Intel to keep the Lessor Races at bay

Same here.

But the system seems more rich than other similar games.

I'm not really hot for a border system.<br/>

While that kind of system is interesting, to an extent, for planet-based grand-strategic games I feel that it loses sense and realism in space, even in a 2D compressed space.<br/>

The clone wars seems to be the dark horse of Star Wars universe. Heck, it's a "saturday morning cartoon" and it's still quite great. <br/>

Don't buy it. It's like paying $60 to be a beta tester. The early game is fun, but by mid-game you will have completely dominated AI, but get this, you won't be able to wipe out the hapless AI empires because as soon as you do your empire ...

I still mantain that the Shakaturi Grat War is a fantastic idea.

It is from Civilization 3 that I dream of a H.G.Wells martian attack (ot in a later age an Independence Day like attack) to give more life to the endgame. The Shakaturi answered that old dream.

<t> Very well pointed out.<br/>
<br/>
Maybe with the balance that if they really need a tech (like any colonization tech)they could do 'losing trade' themselves.<br/>

AI should really try to win and it is not doing it.<br/>

Mind well, I know that AI programming is hard and DW is ...

I like the Fog of War/Research thing.

Applied Technology incompatibility seems not simple but promising also.
