<t> As I understand it, the version the streamers are using will self-destruct on the 15th. Does that mean they won't be able to post any more after that date, even if they might have recorded them prior to it? I'm getting by in my impatience by watching the streams and I'm kind of dreading this ...

Thanks, think I'll give it a go.

I'm looking for a strategic simulation of the ACW and it seems like this is the most developed. Grigsby's version looks a bit sterile to me from the little I've seen of it and others are old.

I'm just wondering if this game is fun and people recommend it. Thanks.

Yeah I have to say this one hits the sweet spot precisely for me between grognard and beer and pretzels. I didn't play the earlier versions much, got bored quickly. There is a lot of depth to this game but it doesn't get bogged down by it.

But to each his own.

When playing the Allies, the US has two decision events regarding aid to the USSR - spend 40 MPP's per turn to deliver 80 MPP's. These are badly needed by the Soviets until the tide begins to turn against Germany. Then it would be nice if the ...

Another request, this one pretty important.

Doesn't there need to be an order of battle available for each nation? Just a screen showing how many units of each type I own would be fine.

Sorry if this is in the manual, I couldn't find it.

Is it possible to send troops the long way around from England to Egypt, past the southern tip of Africa?

If it's not currently in the game, is it planned? IIRC you could do it in earlier versions.

Nevermind, turns out you need 8.

How do I move air units from England to Egypt? It says I need more SMP. I have 4, I tried buying up to 7 but it still says I need more...

Thanks.

I bought this game on Steam and I can't find a manual anywhere, other than the "sneak peak" thing which is useless. Please tell me a game this complex has a manual, and if so where it can be found.

By "unit cost balancing" I'm guessing you mean unit maintenance costs are quite a bit higher? [:D] I seem to be making a lot less money after patching.

<t> The UI is pretty clunky at this point, I don't know if you plan to improve it. Diplomacy is the most awkward. How about making it so I can right click on a country and bring up its diplomacy window? The way it is now, you have to remember the name of the country you want to deal with before you ...

<t> I ask this because the game seems unable to distinguish between my design "CST-2 Trucker" and "CST-2 Trucker II", cancelling my retrofit orders for ships with the former design (because it has "already" been retrofitted) and saying I can't edit the latter because the design is in use, when it ...

I don't care for the music to DW and have it turned off. However every time I start the game these days the music plays until I again go into Options and turn it back down to minimum.

On Steam, DW is still listed as: Distant Worlds: Universe[1951 beta] and I haven't found any way to make it an official patch, not a beta one.

Is this anything I need to be concerned about?

Add another vote for the _option_ to retain the old text size, but it's not a huge deal for me.
