Distant Worlds Extended Universe 1.0.3 released 40 races

[Cinther]

I noticed that the Keskudon Special Government: Way of Darkness option doesn't actually appear as an option when setting up your empire. I have the newest version of the game and am not running any other mods. Anyone else notice this?

[Haree78]

There has only been 1 entry for the design a race competition so far, but it's a great one, would love to see if anyone else has any ideas before I release the Universe version.

[pycco]

love the mod, do you have any plans for it after the expansion?

[Haree78]

Yes there is a development version that adds 2 new races including one designed and submitted to me by PrismaticFlux. There is a bunch of optimizations and improvements.
I wont say too much as I feel it's not my place to say the features that would reveal secrets about Universe but expect a much improved version of what you have for the Shadows version. I have still kept the remit of Extended being an 'unofficial expansion', everything that is vanilla is still in there, I have not changed the base game experience outside of race artwork, but the new races are now much more unique than they were before.

[Cauldyth]

I essentially never install mods, but I made an exception for this one. The new races are really cool, and I love all of the artwork, including the replacement art for the original races. The style is awesome.

Can't wait to see what's in store with Universe!

[pycco]

sweet, very excited to see what you do. thanks for the great mod.

[Euler]

Thank You Haree, I just started playing DW about 3 months ago and am just now discovering your incredible mod.

I do have one request, maybe I am missing something. Is it possible to modify the help files to include all the new races? I installed per the instructions but seem to have only the original races in the help file.

Let me know if there is an easy way to fix this. Thanks again!

AFAIK you cannot edit the galactopedia entries. It has been the only flaw in the mod (apart from napoar being terrible! [:'(]) It seems reasonable to assume that Universe will allow us to incorporate those help files.

Yeah this is a big deal.Not having race description hurts mods like these a lot.

[joeyeti]

On the contrary, I believe with appropriate software you ARE able to edit Galactopedia (being a HTML Help file). Someone already did it for a mod.

But if that was changed recently, I might be mistaken!

[Silaith]

WA-OW! I am a french student, who just discovered the game two weeks ago, and this mod that some french players love a lot. I must congratulate you for the work, it seems to be a very good mod, the new races are so fantastic, previously that I never know which to choose, now I'm completely in love with several new!

J'espère que vous allez continuer sur cette voie, ça en vaut la peine

Hmm, is there a way to download this mod without first installing the download manager linked in the original post? I really don't want to install a separate download manager. I've had virus trouble with such things in the past. I'm not saying this one is a virus, but I'm gun-shy.

[gaenues26]

I am so excited for what is coming thanks to all involve on the mod for all of their hard work

You shouldn't have to download any download manager, be careful you aren't being tricked by some advert pretending you need to click it to download. You should be able to click to download directly.

[Grotius]

Ah! This time it worked! For some reason, yesterday I kept downloading a setup file, but today when I clicked the link, I got the full file. Thanks.

[TuvLord]

Excuse me, I know the post is maybe dead ^^

But I have a little question, in this mod, we can play Mechanoid ? Because there is a
picture of them in the image on first page ^^


Thank you for ansewer ^^

Assuming you're referring to the final image, that is a mechanoid race, but it doesn't seem to be a playable race (i.e. only the AI can play it). I believe the race could be made playable by a simply amendment to a the race's txt file, but I don't know how balanced the race is for a human player. There is, of course, a playable cybernetic race, called the Napoar.

No doubt Haree will give you more specifics, as he's still active on these boards.

[TrooperCooper]

Napoar, Ortain and Lemeresh are the playable mechanoid races in this mod (Lemeresh are suggested to be kept as an AI-race though). They are all listed in Harees description on page 1 with details.

If you are reffering to the last race shown in the opening picture with many races on it... the agressive looking mechanoid... that is the new image of the Ancient Guardians.

[drillerman]

This is the one mod that matrix should make available through their website.

[pycco]

so what do you have in mind for this mod after the Universe release?
