RE: Frustrations with the game

<t> Sorry for the delayed reply, Siddham, been house-sitting for my daughter. Reminder to self: get a frakkin laptop.<br/>
<br/>
I'm sorta avoiding mods till I get a good feel for the vanilla game, but both those mods are on my ToDo list. I'll check out Das Tactic, thanks.<br/>

RE: eXplorminate's Top 10 4X Games of All Time

GG.

I'm not a big fan of RTS games, but DWU has also earned its place on my gaming nvme drive; a little known but highly prestigious award.

Grats on your accomplishments.

RE: Are characters gone in DW2?

<t> I'm very new to this franchise, but find characters in DWU to be useful, if not overly engaging. Assigned to specialized fleets or colonies that need them, they're just additions to facility/ruin bonuses or help with things I have less control over, like corruption levels (20% reduction in ...

RE: Frustrations with the game

<t> Thinking out loud here... After watching some constructors build things (still vanilla game), they do try to load exactly what's needed to build the desired base/station and they will end up with no cargo at all after a successful build. But they always go to the port closest to the job site to ...

RE: Frustrations with the game

<t> There is something about this game that is impossible for me; I'm literally 1 and 99 playing DWU. It could simply be the Real Time Strategy part, as I'm more a turn-based guy. I can't quit playing it, though; there IS something with the real-time changes that is appealing, and I can't believe I ...

RE: Frustrations with the game

<t> SirHorace: Yes, its a vanilla game. I'm experimenting with RTS games, from more of a turned-based experience. I got the impression from some YT vids that "shortage" warnings were caused by a lack of mining bases on those resources. I've got multiple mines providing the resources and the under ...

RE: Frustrations with the game

<t> Greetings. New guy with his first post...<br/>
<br/>
I have an almost stalled game "due to shortages". I have, for the first time ever, found the three rare luxury resources in rather quick succession. Of course, they're 90% of the way across a 15x15 sector, 1000 star galaxy and I'm playing a ...
