Thanks again!
Makes it all much easier and less work for playing Shadow World.

It could be helpful to have a list of abbrevations used in Shadow World.
Is there such a list to find ?

The mods using.. which one is advisable ?
Thanks in advance

<In the end, Shadow Empire is an excellent game well worth the effort of figuring it out if you like this style of gaming.>
Take some time to figure out how to study this game,but it revolves around units and their organization.
I play also Dwarf Fortress, so i know of this game style

Thanks for your help!
Indeed not that easy, for me to try to understand to get a idea what's the beginsituation as supreme leader of a city state.

It's kind of fun because the creator is of Dutch descent and so am I.
Opened Shadow Empire and looked around the game a bit.
The initial situation is important and it looks like I am a leader of a city-state somewhere on a planet.
Apparently there are enemies on this planet and I will have to defend ...

I was impressed by his thoroughly play and dedication but i read that he departed his life on 9 december 2014

I use a a hssd drive..a hybrid harddisk : between sdd en the normal harddisk and it works ,,the game stays playable ( thanks @ jeeves for his advice, i use a hssd drive )
Always good to have this sshd drive...it makes that i can play all games !

<t> Yes, four year old motherboard and processor.. it is too old now these days this, and i am in the similar situation with a motherboard and processor, but it is still acceptable that it delivers some needed performance.<br/>
It is rather easy to upgrade with a new motherboard and processor, but ...

<t> Where to start ..in the galactopedia gives some suggestions when you start the game up.<br/>
Not all is documented and you must try out by yourself the gui .. <br/>
Handy/necessary is to name of stations, ships etc, by a self choosen name<br/>
It is clicking on the excisting name in the ...

<t> Your total research capacity( summed up) must be equal to that of the Total empire research potential..<br/>
By choosing research stations lokations, scientists , ..you can get up to 5 bonus fields what can increase the Total research capacity..then you get the actual output what must be higher ...

<t> Hello ehsumrell1,<br/>
It is boom boom all the time in your game [:)] <br/>
1) Strange not to know who is responsible for the demolition of your bases... is there mad race in the game ?<br/>
2) How to keep the enemy agents out a system? <br/>
<br/>
Still not clear why i should build a ...

<t> Thanks that you give me the interest in Distant Worlds back.<br/>
A research facility in a starbase is not invisible , but the AI does not track them with the same frequency as it is for a default research facility as i undertood it now.<br/>
Why there is the possiblity to build a research ...

I lost my interest in Distant Worlds , because research stations can be build free of enemy attacks
Am i wrong with this ?

Research stations build as other starbase stations are not recognised by other empires ??
This is not realistic in this game .. a free safe unseen place (station) for sheltering research labs
Can this be chanced ? [:)]

The idea that someone can built a research station what is not detectable by a enemey makes the game not believable

<r> We are talking about the importance of bonusses for the research output, but what parameter is directly involved with this ..to see the effect( s) of the extra bonus output ?..my assumption is that the research speed is increasing ..?
<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>Depending on what difficulty you're ...

Thanks for the explaining .. it seems to me that the homeworld is the place to be and to start there with the research ( are there other options too ?)

<t> I did some "research" to the research calculation and and how the actual research output is calculated is understood by me i think.<br/>
Now only setting up the reseach lokation ... i read different approaches <br/>
What is the best research lokation set up and why? <br/>
<br/>
<br/>
Note ...

Buying the a -hybride harddisk has reduced the save and loading times..definitely the best and rather cheap solution and other slow games are working better too.. and can be used for musiccomposing programs too ..i am happy with this performance improvement.

Informative and extensive manual, but very timeconsuming.
I don't know how other people handle this information, but it seem to be not very strict structered the manual
It is a lot of stuff to learn, and takes time
