<t> It's a shame to hear you won't be updating the mod any more. I know it's probably unfair of me to ask at this point, but is there any chance you'll at least finished the in-game encyclopaedia to include all the different races and resources? I can't speak for others, but it's reeeeallly hard to ...

Tech trading cannot be modded. <br/>

I usually have tech trading off but from memory, I think you need to be friendly with another race and above 20-25 rating for tech trading to take place.<br/>

Also, do races in this mod trade racial tech at all? I've been away from DW for quite some time, so not sure if they're refusal to trade is just a recent balancing patch in the vanilla game, or something caused by the smart research system this mod uses.

<t> There is ALSO the option to tweak leader replacement rate in the race files (the Gizureans have -100% to leader spawning, so queens never get replaced). This prevents any leader replacement during the game -- buy only with any government that has less than a 1.0 leader replacement rate. There ...

<t> So, I'm a bit of a newbie to running mods with DW. Now it's no secret this game adds tons of stuff to the game, and consequently, the game client tends to run a bit slower. Does anyone have any go-to tricks or techniques they use to prevent the game from running out of memory? (Yes, I'm running ...

<t> A few things to keep in mind if you're modding your stations:<br/>
- Since resource deposits never "deplete," it's more cost effective for upkeep, more efficient for shipping time, and more defensible to have a resource setup that revolves around a small number of huge and highly defended ...

<t> We all know how the public/private dichotomy works for regular empires, but what about pirates empires? As far as I can tell, pirates don't pay civilian upkeep, nor do they have to worry about stifling growth by overtaxing since civilian ships are paid for by the state. Am I missing something ...

<t> I frequently find my hidden pirate bases being destroyed in mid-construction when even a single assault pod manages to hit the planet and knock it down. I've tried countering this a number of ways, including deploying multiple defense bases with point defenses to shoot them down, but they still ...

<t> Does anyone know to what extent the normal racial bonuses apply when playing pirate groups? I thought at first that none of them applied; that pirate type bonuses overrode the racial/government bonuses. But after playing human and getting their extra intelligent agent bonus, I'm starting to ...

Bigger market, more exposure, lower price - all lead to more potential sales. I assume you'd call people wizkid ...

<t> You guys at Matrix Games should probably take note: There is a discount for buying the games as a bundle, but there's no info about it on the product page. It's only AFTER adding it to the cart are you informed there's a bundle discount.<br/>

You guys might be able to sell more copies if ...

<t> ... the $100 price tag for the base game and all the current expansions is a bit steep, particularly since I assume the latest expansion (Shadows) once released will bump the total price up to $130 or so. I know that most publishers will offer bundle deals on multi-expansion games so that the ...
