Thanks. Looks a bit tricky, but perhaps worth it. Do you know if I could do the same thing with Windows vista?

Thanks for for the response. Seems like a great game, although a bit too peaceful for my taste. Can you explain how this 3GB toggle works?

This is a crazy screenshot. I never had such a large empire. Who else did have something similar. How do you keep it managed properly? How much time have you invested in this game? At what speed are you normally running it? How does your pc ...

Reading through many of the posts it appears that many of us only play humans. Would be interesting to get a list of races players enjoy playing. Or it would be interesting to see how many only play as humans.<br/>

Yes, and no. I don't think counter-espionage get your spies any experience. Perhaps when they catch enemy spy, but I doubt it. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

I can confirm (using the latest patch) that your spies do gain experience from catching other spies. I ...

I agree with your reasoning on this and you make valid points.<br/>

It also helps to answer the ...

<r> From my perspective, I see this as being by design, rather then a bug. Only the devs know for sure and perhaps they can shed a little light on this for us?<br/>

Dammit, in my current game I just had one decomissioned.

Welcome to the club [:D]

<t> I have been lurking the forum for some time and waiting for the 'sweet-spot' patch to be released prior to purchasing the game.<br/>

I am loving it so far.<br/>

I went through the tutorials and dove right in. I thought the AI did a fairly good job of putting my empire together ...

<t> IMHO, the pricing for DW is consistent with other Matrix releases.<br/>
<br/>
Given the level of customer support given to all of their titles (at least that has been my experience) the cost is extremely reasonable. I am not even taking into consideration the game play, which for me trumps all ...

since I´ve got my 24" monitor I was running WITP windowed, the problem is it seems to have a very small window... [8|] The window is similar to a 12" monitor, just too small to enjoy playing it. But it isn´t nice to play on a 24" either ...

I, and others, had the same issues. The game supports windowed mode, to a point. If you are expecting to re-size the window, this is not supported. At least it never worked for me.<br/>

Thank you for the detailed and extremely well thought out post.

This should be included with any future strategy guide/Wiki.

VERY helpful.

From an earlier post in one of the threads here, I believe a Matrix rep (Erik?) stated that the tentative patch schedule would be: Patch 1, 30 days from release date.

They indicated they were on track to hold to their internal schedule.
