Will the planet populations still be represented as actual population numbers, like 23 billion, 500 million, 6 billion, etc, one of the main things that really draws me out of the game immersion is when I see games like stellaris represent pops as some abstract number, like 7 human pops and 3 alien pops, etc, it takes me out of the game as the planets and populations dont feel "real" to me anymore, that is why i liked DWU so much, the actual scale and representation of population numbers like 11.4 billion, or 22.7 billion made the planets actually feel real and filled with people and really helped with the immersion, I hope they keep that aspect and dont follow other games by abstracting all those real numbers into some vague 6 pop, or 5 pop, etc, same thing with ground troop numbers, I like seeing transports filled with tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands to even millions of soldiers fighting other soldiers on other planets and getting the battle report stating that 543,341 of our soldiers were killed, we killed 2,659,425 of the enemy, it adds another layer of realism and immersion into the game like no other

You'll be lucky. Erik only gives us updates once every 3 years or so.

So I looked up my password to write after months again just to ask you for some news..
I mean, why don't we hear any thing for months?
There is a christmas sneak preview and also another thread in the upper section but thats it.
if I make a page of your forum to my starting page, what page should it be?
This, or the other distant worlds 2 thread?
or will there be a new one?
and even if there is coming some news, it is about time, really.

i also look in here at least once a weak, but there is nothing new in here from the devs. so why should i bother reading about things that are concerning distant worlds 1?

in whatever stage you are, there are many people waiting to hear something new.
and it would be nice, if it would be a new thread, where you write once a month something new in it to keep us informed and to make the time we wait for the game a nice time.

but right now, nothing new for months is really not nice.
this takes not more than some minutes, and thats all we need.

thanks for reading and i hope you make big steps forward.
but whatever the status is, i can wait for years to come, but please, keep us informed.
just throw something at us, and please at a place where we all can be sure all news from you land there, and not shattered somewhere in the forum.
