Oh cool. Thanks. I have seen a range tool mentioned before but didn't know it had been implemented. Where is it?

I know this has been brought up before - I ask because maybe it has been addressed.
Is there a way of showing colonisation range on the map?

Tell me how it is relevant to me, a Non-UK citizen?


It may not be.
I suppose it depends if your country has a similar issue.
Someone on another forum where I also posted about the UK issue told me that there was a similar thing going on in Australia, and pointed me to this site:

im no sure i follow. when player play any online game it was/is normaly understood that developer can shut down his game servers at any time he likes, while usualy developer give advance time warning that game servers will stop working and game will no longer be playable/avaivable.

There is a UK government petition to clarify when, legally, a developer can no longer support a game.

Of course games can become unplayable for all sorts of reasons, hardware and OS obsolescence for example are not the developers fault. There are lots of cases where this may apply though ...

"Just to let anyone know - I am not dropping this and intend to get back to it."

The most definite way to say you are dropping something is to say that you are not dropping something. A tale as old as time.

For what it's worth, this brief AAR was interesting. A shame you dropped it.

Hehehehee ...

I don't know if you could consider this a necro but it appears that the new Aurora update has completely broken the game for me. It the launcher shows up but when I press play it just silently crashes on the steam version (proton experimental, 7.0.6).

Of course, I wanted to open source it right away, but I just wanted to test the client which was always open - the server code I just bolted on to another project I was running that already had e ...

It is temporarily down while a new server is set up. I will post here when it is working.

Hi,
Thanks for the reminder. I won't say a definite time now because it might be wrong. But it will definitely be quicker now you have reminded me. The thing is it is only really helpful if it is reliable, and I have no way of providing a reliable server right now. The most likely solution will ...

I signed up for the Shadow Empire: Oceania beta in the link, but I have no idea if it worked.
When I signed up for the Distant Worlds beta using the matrix games beta system I got a Beta signup confirmation email, but nothing from the Shadow Empire one so far.
Not that I ever get accepted for ...

**Update**
I just noticed the server has been down for a few weeks. Luckily nobody used it for a bit before that so I am assuming it hasn't caused any probs.
It is due to my postgresql server account running out. I can migrate my database to mysql, but it will take some time.
