This is absolutely NOT a big.

Skirmishes were always an enjoyable part of DW for me.

Accidents happen.

Confrontation happens.

Strategic strikes happen.

Fighting over resources and derelicts happen.

Surprise attacks happen.

Having to arbitrarily declare war in a game is poor design and ...

Besides the obvious modern-day earth connotations concerning slavery, why should it necessarily be a negative diplomatic hit among alien races? Did ancient Rome or Egypt (and most other civilizations) take a hit for slavery? I just bring it up as a sidebar to the discussion as I find it ...

I'd say this is a good idea

An updated roadmap would definitely be nice.

I believe Erik mentioned on the Steam forum that one is coming after the next release goes from beta to live.

Courtesy of KingHalford (Ben) - this is NOT my work.

Here's the list, it's a work in progress: I did intend to link to it but I forgot!

Shadow Empire "Blood Lions" Let's Play Game Notes

Report Checklist (*means conditional to a prior issue)
- Do this at the start of the turn before ...

@KingHalford shared a list in his latest video series, unfortunately I don't recall which video it was.

Hopefully he sees this and can share a screenshot.

A dramatic improvement!

I think you could mod point 1 relatively easily by reducing (or removing) the repair rate of components.

For me shields should recharge but perhaps a bigger delay, so they don't recharge until X time after the last hit. This would require the ship AI understanding it needs to dip in and out of ...

The intelligence gameplay is too isolated from the rest of the game.

It doesn't take into account the distance to the target, the tech level of our and the target empire and the species.
There is also no events for intelligence like those for exploration.

First part, the distance :

It's illogic ...

Especially since research will give you specialized hulls of each ship role, like Fast Frigates vs Heavy Frigates vs Fleet Frigates.

Also Retrofit Fleet needs to be adjusted so ships upgrade to the next iteration of their own design instead of just the latest active design for their ship role ...

Click the name in the bottom left selection screen and you can rename (hit enter to confirm).

Same for bases and planets.

This was requested in the beta and was one my bigger annoyances.

I'm confident it's on the list of feature updates!

It grows on you.

Try shift+F5 to show known ruins.

These typically have a scenery bonus.

+1 to this.

The freedom, in DWU, to design any ship or base exactly how you wanted, and of any size, is a strength not a weakness.


The one thing I hated with DWU was no hard limit on hull sizes. So an Escort could be massive, which is silly.

I did like the freedom but during beta testing I grew to accept ...

This is correct, send them to the science station with the particular bonus you want to maximise.


Eh, it doesn't matter. All bonuses add up anyway, so there's no benefit from matching scientists to location bonuses. That's an old habit from DW1, when only the highest scientist+location bonus ...

It already downloaded and installed for me on Steam, I have 100Mbit.

edit: sorry, you meant direct from Matrix

Hi, I tried to do a search on this, in this thread and came up empty, so is 3440x1440 ultrawide compatible with DW2, and is anyone testing the game on that resolution? Thanks.


I'm in the beta test and whilst I can't divulge any specifics - I can happily confirm the scale and readability is ...
