Yeah, I've had problems with fuel tankers even when a fleet is set to AI control. For example, I sent my small fleet to a system to kill a space monster, which used up most of their fuel. But they had a fuel tanker with them which had more than enough fuel. But they didn't refuel. They were on autom...

Unlike the previous game, this one seems like it wants to force us to let the AI handle everything. The biggest issue, to my mind, is with exploration ships. In the early game, I like to manage exploration manually. But that's almost impossible in Distant Worlds 2. First, you can't queue up multiple...

<t> That's very interesting. Unfortunately, as I said on Steam, I have no idea how to make a second SHQ. (I know it can be done. I just couldn't figure it out when I needed to do it myself, some months ago.)<br/> <br/> I like to found new cities, though - mostly for role-playing purposes. And if you...

<t> I think it depends on how quickly your population grows, too. In my previous game, I never noticed my citizens needing emergency food (though I ticked the box, anyway). But in my current game, I'm just beginning, but my population has grown really, really fast (thanks to some beneficial stratage...

<r> I was wondering about this, too. I've got an 8% production penalty in my capital, due to "zone circumstances."<br/> <br/> Is there any way to tell what's actually causing this? Yeah, I've got a cult, but there's no indication anywhere that the cult is causing it - not that I can find, at least. ...

<r> OK, I'm going to start a new game anyway, since the new version was released. And I've already won this one. I was still playing because I didn't want to start a new game on the old version. But I'd still like to know what's going on here - and what I was doing wrong.<br/> <br/> I guaranteed a m...

<r> I'm playing a diplomatic game, and loving it! Lots of fun! I've noticed some minor problems, so I thought I'd mention them here.

<r> One other thing I've noticed about a shortage of cities is the administrative strain you get when existing zones spread out too much.<br/> <br/> I'm not sure how that is calculated. At first, I assumed that you needed to work resources that were distant from the city, but that doesn't seem to be...

Yes, every new zone is net lose to you.

Please explain. Why is it a net loss?

Thanks.

Am I really the only guy who likes to play a diplomatic game? No one else has any experience with this?

Well, Mom always did say I was special... [:D]
