He's saying that, even if someone did generate a perfect earth-like world, it would be impossible to share that planet in a way that doesn't preserve some of aspects generated after planet creation, such as the ones described above. It'd ...

<t> Not really sure why you'd need to change the strategems or events or anything - the default stuff works fine for depicting a sci-fi post-apocalyptic Earth. And by the same token, there's no reason why you can't handwave that "the apocalypse boiled the oceans away" and just have the seas be ...

<t> Would it be possible to create a pregenerated map of Earth for Shadow Empire, cities appropriately located and named and all? There's not that many games that do a grand strategy treatment of a post-apocalyptic empire and the idea of ruling the wastelands from the shattered wreck of, say ...

<t> Yeah, just keep in mind that the key direct advantage of rail is range, strictly speaking, rather than capacity. For a given long distance it takes far fewer rail stations to carry the same logistical capacity as truck stations, but over short distances there's little advantage. <br/>
<br ...

<t> Depends on the specific situation, really. However, the key thing to note is that unless your enemy is very small and has only one city very close to your borders, you are going to need to build new logistical bases further in as you advance - it's rare for preparations beforehand to be wholly ...

<t> Seems unlikely, I've had the same monitor for the past ten years set to 1280:1024, same as it's always been. I did have a recent Windows update, though I don't know if that would change anything. Plus of course patching Shadow Empire to 1.05 and then installing the beta - when when I played it ...

Ah! That did it - I can no longer pick resolutions above 5:4 now and the resolution is now defaulting to something more workable. Sent you the editobj.txt file regardless. Guess it actually WAS a bug. Thanks!

<r> Well, that's interesting. I can't seem to actually FIND a prefs.txt file, which might explain why the resolution keeps snapping back to default. At least, Windows search is telling me it doesn't exist anywhere within the Shadow Empire folder. I did install the game on a hard drive other than C ...

Yep, got this going on to both old saves and new games. The crash seems to happen shortly after the "Preparing AI Initialization" phase, during one of the "Executing Reserve Fronts."

<t> So I use a 5:4 monitor. Haven't played in a while and upon firing the game up after patching it to the latest version discovered that the game's display is stretched out further I remember it being in the past. Not a huge issue given that there's the option to set the graphics to 5:4 mode ...

<t> To add to what the others have said, sealed roads don't (directly) increase capacity. What they do is extend the range at which your truck stops can operate. So if hypothetically you had a a truck stop that provided full logistics for ten hexes but started to drop off after the eleventh ...

Well If It’s one star out of 5 for CiV 5 i’m not missing any objectivity. That’s laughable considering the typical review 90%/9/10 for that game, and the overwhelmingly positive reaction on steam. So that added to the rating for Shadow Empire means ...

<t> I feel like an additional layer of leaders wouldn't just be unnecessary, it'd be actively detrimental. As is, when I get to about the end-game I find it hard to care or pay attention to the existing swarm of leaders I need to slot in all my OHQs and new conquests. Having another, bigger mass of ...
