Re: Items to Fix Before the Ocean Build


Hi Ben,
I am still looking at the whole thing concerning the profile demands. In fact I have been thinking about adding a Propaganda Council to allow you to force things in a certain direction at a (serious) cost.
Best wishes,
Vic


Vic,

First - thanks for a great game!

Re: Early game crap

I struggled with the same issues that you are describing. Later, when I understood how to survive the first 10 turns or so, I started struggling with other things. Those problems also went away with more understanding. The truth is that this is a serious, in-depth, no holds barred wargame.

It is ...

Re: Balance in the 1861 Scenario

Jumping in with my 2 cents! (aka IMO)

I strongly advocate having a 'historical' scenario even if it is imbalanced. There are ways to mitigate this in multiplayer (see below). I feel that if there are not 'historical' scenarios available, then the game loses some of its inherent 'flavor'.

I am not ...

Yes, and that is exactly the Fascist principle: the bundle is stronger than the single.


Search of dictionary definitions indicate Fascism usually has a dictator... in that case, why would citizens need to vote.

Re: Slitherine’s Starship Troopers: Terran Command has landed


Heinlein described a military dictatorship : only soldiers have political power, and only soldiers have citizen's rights.

(emphasis added)

I have to disagree with 'military dictatorship'.

In the book, 'Federal Service' was required for citizenship. Not all 'Federal Service' was military.

Michael,

I agree wholeheartedly with your post. Anyone who has seen the movie but not read the book should read it ASAP. (See off topic note below if 'you want to know more'.

I am hoping for a couple of DLCs that 1) make the book's combat armor the core of the Mobile Infantry (every Cap Trooper ...

Thanks jbmoore68. I tried several times during the day and they finally just loaded. It was strange. They wouldn't load after several attempts and then I tried to open on in another tab. It gave an error about taking too long to respond and then suddenly *poof* I had a picture. Then reloading the ...

The images are not showing. Instead I get a small icon and the word 'image'.

Re: DW2 FAQ/QnA megathread - Ask your question here!

I have seen passenger ships moving population to newly formed colonies. In the cases where I saw it, there was a clear reason the population wanted to move. The way I set it up was to have a much lower tax rate on the planets to which I wanted migration.

I haven't played in a few weeks so it may ...

Yes, when you go to the list of designs (Ship Construction | Ship Designs), there is a column labeled Auto Design (3rd from the right. In that column, you can click on the word Automatic and it should change to Manual. That design should no longer be automatically updated.

Is This A Bug? (Strategem Roll)

Screenshot 2022-05-23 085013.jpg

It seems to me (from the lower right area) that my maximum roll is 152.

It tells me I rolled a 162.

I realize this looks like a desperation move to hope for a 2% chance, but it is really not. It is more of a case of I have too many cards.

So, is this a bug or ...

Re: Morale question

If you are asking if an idle, understrength unit loses morale, I cannot answer that definitively.

However I did find some things in the manual that may shed some light on the issue.

In the manual (p 281), there is a chart that shows that more seasoned troops get extra morale recovery. So, if a ...

I'm currently playing the latest beta with Boskara. I can say that my conquered planets become happy very quickly (no matter the race) so that does not appear to be an issue.

However, I know the Boskara special race victory conditions involve killing and/or enslaving.

This is my first game since ...
