I've gotten hold of the raw footage Erik used in his excellent preview. Below are 6 videos where I painstakingly step through and pause the content to speculate as much as I can on what DW2 is going to bring. <E>:)</E><br/>

This is not an exhaustive, comprehensive list, but it's a good summary and starting point of some of the key changes. I'm sure we'll add more stuff as time goes on before release, partly as we remember it. [8D]

Terrific ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Erik Rutins<br/>
Yes, there is a bit text file of game text and several XML files with various data.

When it comes to the AI will the text files have conditional modifiers? <br/>
<br/>
For example: if in pre-warp then build exploration ...

Also some house rules are recommended.

Nothing to do with the mod, trueaaginor, you've got a really lucky start. I trust you are playing on Extreme difficulty now that you've had a warm-up game.

Dropbox has been excellent ... both free and no ads for downloads.

Stickied, this is a really cool addition, thanks rjord1!

<t> I'm pretty Indifferent to the change coming in Stellaris. To me it’s like the TBS v RTS debate, I don’t really care, so long as the game is fun. What I'd like to suggest, in the context of Distant Worlds 2, is that a lot of what has been described in the latest Stellaris Dev Diary as specific ...

<r> The podcast certainly exceeded expectations with how well considered it was. <br/>
<br/>
Some specific suggestions I would add for Distant Worlds 2:<br/>
<br/>
1. A lot of the mechanics in Distant Worlds 1 aren't well explained to players in-game and you really have to get onto the forums ...

We are working on it, believe me, just still can't say much more than that. [8D]

Stellaris had 32 developer diaries before the game was released. Between that and Twitter teasers, they were frequently sprayed all over the ...

Nope, but that being said I haven't put it under a microscope. There may be ...

Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
I've had Distant Worlds for a while but just recently took the plunge, using Timotheus' awesome full-manual newbie guide. Was really fun to learn the ropes, but once I did (i.e. after my first game) it's become ridiculously ...

Are ships idle enough for it to actually matter though?

Watch the AI and see how often ships are idle ... in short, yes!

Yeah agree here the other problem is that all stations are set to fire only point blank range...

You guys are doing a great job of testing my distant memory ... this all seems worlds away now! I think the reason for that was ...

Is there any way to prioritise ranged weapons in the base templates, even for a short range weapon race, and have them substitute shorter range weapons only if they are significantly higher tech level than the longer range weapons?

Great to see another series Larry!

I think they were talking about Pre-Warp starts and the freighters not showing up until you researched construction?
<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>
But they do show up before you've researched construction with this Mod. It was problematic during Beta ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Retreat1970<br/>
Just my two cents about freighter sizes: The AI has to have the ability to make freighters asap or you hurt their start game. One example is what if the AI homeworld is a moon? A fuel mine will be placed on the gas giant quickly, and with no ...

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Tanaka<br/>
Coming back to this amazing game and this great mod after it is still King over Stellaris and everything else. I saw in Research Unleashed and Unleashed Extended that there were discussions about all of the different size freighters in the AI Mod ...
