Re: Virtus Extremely Low

I'm on version 1.30. I will send you the file. My save is about 2 months old, so maybe the save began with an earlier version?

Virtus Extremely Low

Received a message under reports, urgent issues, that "Your virtus is extremely low (0)".....can't find this anywhere in the manual. I know this is part of the Repulic DLC but that hasn't come out yet. Where can I find this stat in the game and how to raise it?

Summary of Losses?

Is there a place I can find a summary of losses for the scenario I am playing? I like to look at those details, which helps to give immersion in the game. Also, if I click on a unit/task force, is there any place I can find the history of that unit? Just wondering if these are available. Looks like ...

Planet Design Questions

I have three questions related to planet design:

(1) Is there any way to edit planet design, or make it more likely to get certain parameters (besides the initial setup options)? For example, through modding or a text file, etc.?

(2) In the history after the Disolution War, there is often ...

Re: 1.3.3.8 Public Beta Update Available

If I start a new game before this update is officially released, will it have a big impact?

Also, I see that "Shadow Rising" DLC is listed on the main screen of the game as "not installed." I have all the DLC. When would that be available? I saw a DasTactic stream and I believe he said "it's here ...

So how soon is "soon"? Should I hold off on starting my new game, or are we talking at least 1+ month?

Modding Question - Startup Planet Name

I know we can change the starting planet name through the editor. However, is there a way to change one of the races or events xml files so that the races start in a specific home world name?

Renaming System

I know it's been said that you can rename your home system, but I notice that the original still shows up when you click on the planets at the bottom info box. See the pic attached...the new system name is Legend but the old name, Ruunadan,is showing up at the bottom. Am I doing something wrong to ...

Scenarios for Solo Player

Primary question: I have had TOAW IV for a few years and just started to take a look at it. I know that the AI is scripted and has some limitations, but I am more interested in a challenging scenario (being successful in "winning") rather than the AI making perfect decisions. What scenarios would ...

Airplanes without Airfiled on Hex - Start of Game

I have Recon aircraft, but my airfiled is on a different hex, so I can't launch the aircraft. Is there a way to transport the aircraft to the other hex (like on Truck or building a road)? Or is my only option to build an airfield on the hex with the aircraft?

Re: Stamen Replacement Option

For the Open Topo map, is there any way to change it so foreign nation/cities are written in English? Right now most Middle East countries are written in a different language. Similar for Russia.

I figured out a way to name your home system. Here are the simple steps:
(1) start a game and note your seed number in the game setup (or enter your own seed number)
(2) when the game starts note what planet you start on
(3) go into the systemnames.txt file in the game files and find the name of the ...
