Matrix Games Forums

I check the site every day and read posts, sometimes multiple times a day, but I rarely post and I often don't log in. This is still the best forum I've ever seen in terms of helpfulness and friendliness, bar none. It's one of the reasons I keep coming back. The other, of course, is the game.

I rarely log in, but I check out the forum almost every day. Probably should have commented more over the years.

I am a relative new comer here.

Much like Panzer Cat mentioned above - I check in frequently although I do not always log in and respond.

1) Check general

2) Check war room

3) Follow my favorite Allied AARs.


I am also one of those perhaps specifically noted in adding Distant Worlds Universe to my gaming repertoire.

I mentioned my love of this game and a forumite poster over there noted "the other white meat" [8D]

Both games are characterized - "not by complexity but rather by ambition in scope" - at least in my mind.

However while I will likely play DWU a few times - whereas I will never stop revisiting WITP AE largely as I am an ammeter 20th century historian and the game draws me on multiple levels.

What is this Distant worlds Universe you speak of? I will have to look at it. But there is only one game, and its AE.

A '4 E' game in the 'genre' of Sid Meyers Civilization Series.

However for WITP AE players ~ closet micro managers with a touch of OCD and the desire to command fleets / plan invasions [8D] ~ I think that the overlap is so very strong it would appeal to a large number of players here.

1) Ambitious scope - potentially overwhelming to some newbies
2) Full - semi - and no automation of routine patrols / missions / building / logistics
3) Ability to customize your fleets
4) AI with some inherent weakness and AI updates to make the game more challenging
5) Morally ambiguous decisions in treating alien cultures that will impact your game.

Simply the 'galactic space opera' game that challenges you to be the inheritor of the Milky Way.

Mine did the same thing. Kid came home from college for Christmas. Roughhousing in the back yard, got a little serious (because he was finally going to show the old man up). He looked at me in a clutch, and said "I got you now, old man".

Challenge, accepted.

Five seconds later he was flat on his back with his left side paralyzed. Dog over him, licking his face as the kid contorted a bit in pain. I told him "You're young, that will wear off in a few. I taught you everything you know. I did NOT, however, teach you everything I know" [:D]

I expect round 2 come spring break [;)]

I looked into on Steam and have been reading up on it some.

What do guys think about Distant Worlds? Looks pretty darn good.

It's a lot of fun, IMHO.

I have DW but not the DW Universe update. Is it worth the $60 to update?

DWU contains all of the DW games and more modding capabilities. Plus fixes and some other stuff I don't remember....GP

It's $15 on Fanatical.com right now, and just run it through steam.

That's what I just did.

St. John's is having their best season in a LONG time, with Mullin in charge.
