Yes it takes even more resources than my av kaspersky which is reputed as bloated av but its a necessary evil because so many games are steam exclusive now

It seems that there is the super area weapon as well that doesnt seem to show up in research. You can successfully steal those two tech ten times + and they still wont be complete.

I'm using a SSD with i7 980 @4.1g w/ 12 gigs of ram. In mid/late games with 1400 stars/largest maps my load/save times can take up to two minutes.

I' m not sure what would make that much difference.<br/>
But ...

Yes or make the the spy capture some a fixed amount of tech points instead of a percentage. So that in longer tech games, we actually need more effort in tech stealing to get a tech as well.
Although I would still love the option to completely disable it.

<t> This is nice but I think the espionage system is even more broke than the tech trading system. <br/>
If someone has an experienced spy they can with their unique spy, steal all the tech from the other empires without giving them anything in return, 1 each month while teching on their own tree ...

<t> With an ssd it takes about 10 sec to save a 1400 stars, 20 player galaxy. So I think it is mostly affected by storage speed.<br/>
If you do not have an ssd you might want to try a ramdrive if you have some spare memory over 3GB, that would probably be even faster than an ssd, except that it ...

<t> The recent change adding the option to block tech trading between empire is great.<br/>
<br/>
But I would love to go one step further and add an additional option that disable all tech transfer between empires/pirates like tech stealing, I play games with very slow tech research and tech ...

<t> Being able to mark a component as obsolete so that the ai doesnt use it for auto design would be great. <br/>
We sometime manage to get race specific tech but if we manage to get later a worse tech to advance the tech tree from the same type, then the ai will automatically use that tech instead ...

I think the issue was with the policy , I switched from speed and agility to balanced and my 6 year old designs finally got updated to use the engine, they should have been using.

Yes that looks pretty weird, once they are all dead how do they bring that tons of loot back tot heir base?

<t> Hello,<br/>
It seems that ship auto design stopped working in my game. My design focus is on speed and agility but I have noticed that all my design were still using older tech engines.<br/>
I have tried to disable it and enable it again to see if it helped but that doesnt work.<br/>
Is there ...

<t> It happens on w7 64 bit system as well. I have a computer with 32 GB of ram yet the game tells me that it ran out of memory when it is using only a bit more than 3 Gb of memory, that might be because the game is a 32 bit application. <br/>
It seems that there is some kind of memory leak that ...

<t> Hello,<br/>
I just started playing dw shadows with patch 1.9.0.9 as an empire but I m not sure if some things are working as intended.<br/>
I have a colony with about 60 k troops defending about a 10k troop pirate raid.<br/>
Once I have repulsed their 10 troop they sometime get a bunch of ...

Oh i see, its probably not urgent to fix it but it would be nice if they add it on the list to do things

<t> In my current dw legends game with beta patch 1707, I have 4 research stations built early on that are still on the first version of the design but now the game has already automatically made 9 upgrade versions of thoses stations and it doesn't look like the game allows me to retrofit the ...

Tweaking a general value for a single event is not how this game works. It is also not neccesary as you should have understood long ago.<br/>

Keldun, as you said you are using totally fictional numbers.<br/>

So the number of strike isn't the main problem i guess.<br/>

The in-game strike represents both real life first wave and second wave attacks.<br/>

Random die rolls is the reason game results differ from real life results.

There is one problem with game - I was unable to get second PH strike, at 7th December, no matter the settings (only with unlucky coordination problem). Much less third - possible strike. Your results are from historical TWO strikes, not in ...

So let me get this straight, you claim it is likely that the result will be less than the historical outcome. For the sake of the argument I'll put aside that you seem to have a very strange idea as to what was the actual historical result and ...
