In my mind, the game already has a fear mechanic. They will hate you just as much, but if you are stronger they won't dare to attack you. Unless you are at war with 4 other empires first.<br/>

I do not think being feared makes you ...

RE: i wish there was a fear mechanic

<t> If you mean that weak empires should have a healthy respect for vastly superior empires squashing them like bugs if they get out of line then yes I agree. The whole idea of some tiny, pathetic little nation hating you just because you're big is silly, logically those empires should really do ...

RE: [DW:Universe] AI in Pre-Warp start broken?

<t> Its not just you, the pirates on default settings and pre-warp start are just insane for some reason, and no normal AI empire has much of a hope of ever getting started. In my opinion, the single best and most useful option ever added to this game was the ability to nerf the pirate's numbers and ...

Does winning break the storyline?

<t> Does anyone know if winning the game stops future storyline events from firing if you decide to play on? I got the victory screen before the Shakturi showed up but I want to know if they'll still appear later if I play on or does achieving victory disable all future story events if you choose to ...

Not a fan of that approach. I like the fact that, during a battle, I can redirect more ships to the area, and have them arrive in time to swing the balance of it. Same goes for ground battles. If you separate the battles from the strategic map ...
