Ah, cheers! Reinstalled it and it works now.

<r> Is anybody else having the same problem as me where their anti-virus absolutely refuses to let them run this?<br/>

Edit: This started happening after it finally did let me run them<br/>

I think when Distant Worlds 2 is made they need to make the game handle protectorates and dominions similar to the way "sphere of influence" and satellite states/dominions are handled in Victoria 2.

How many of those Windows XP machines do you think are used for gaming, though? Seems like they'd mostly be office computers to me.

You're welcome! Your mod's been one of my favourites for awhile now. I only just got the chance to try the most recent version of it a few days ago and that was the only problem I could think of with it (aside from the Extended races, but that's not your fault), so well done!

<r> The mechanic is there, but the actual behaviour of a pirate kingdom in empire mode is different to the way standard empires function, and the reformed independents would be a standard empire if they changed over naturally. It's not that big of a deal, but when I'm playing as the Dhayuts and I ...

<t> The way pirates are handled now has the knock-on effect of "pirate" variants of the races having independent colonies now, and this leaving the possibility of those colonies becoming empires where they probably weren't intended to, especially on the largest maps. I know why you implemented this ...

<r> Well that's cool to know going forward.<br/>

I don't feel like I should make another thread since we're already here, so I'm going to leave my two feature requests for the map editor here:<br/>

<t> If I make a race hate itself in the biases file, will that have any undesired side-effects such as that race being unhappy in its own empire? I'm creating a scenario, and in it the only circumstance in which a race will have more than one empire is out of an "empire splits" event. I want to make ...

Could you add a similar "allowed races" line to governments?

<t> You could just have the ancestral homeworlds of each (other) race be surrounded with stars that're named in a way similar to how that race would name them. <br/>
<br/>
You'd have to take some artistic liberty with a lot of it. That would be okay though considering several of these stars might ...

<r> That's still not really a good example, though. Fascist Italy went through numerous rewrites of its economic policy during the ~20 years that it existed.

<r> Except it's not fascism. The Nazis actually encouraged free enterprise and for the most part let the market do its thing, as long as it didn't do anything that was bad for national or cultural health. They just, uh, "requisitioned" stuff from corporations when they needed it.<br/>

Who else is in favour of this thread being made a sticky when it's released?

Hi,<br/>
<br/>
i really like your mod but there are still a few problems, i've encountered:<br/>
<br/>
1. I wanted to start a game as Lemeresh. They have the special technology "super laser". This laser is already researched when i start the ...

<r> It totally could. Although you'd clutter the tech-tree significantly. I've been thinking about this myself for one of my own mods, and I'd already come up with the following:<br/>
<br/>
For race types native to continental/marsh, your tech tree would look exactly the same as it does in vanilla ...

Narcotics would only be really a reasonable resource if they had drawbacks (negative production possibly?) as well as benefits, and were only able to be produced by pirate empires (so they have to be smuggled)
