Game of the Month #1

Distant Worlds is a vast, pausable real-time, 4X space strategy game which models a "living galaxy" with incredible options for replayability and customizability. Experience the full depth and detail of large turn-based strategy games, but with the simplicity and ease of real-time, and on the scale of a massively-multiplayer online game. Now greatly enhanced with the new Universe release, which includes all four previous releases as well as the new Universe expansion!

Can't wait to see the results :)

Unfortunately I can't participate because of my game and mod version having some notable changes ;)
Oh man, what a tease good Sir, the Shakturi would be proud of you!

Matrix so needs to give you the green light to let out some more information ... even if it's just high level hints ...

Sorry Grotius, I didn't notice that edit.

The save file requires all three expansions.

one question, where are the save games located, so i can place the save game in correct location. tried searching. nada
edit never mind, found it. Thx
edit again. Sorry. I now see that its a very large map. I play everything on manual. That map would be a night mare for me. If you do a small map - I would join. Big map, I must bow out. I will go read spoilers thread now. Enjoy!

I play with 1400 star 15 x 15 maps with everything manual all the time. It looks a lot more daunting than it actually is. But I do so enjoy being that involved.

With the wide variation in possible settings and individual preferences, what will make Game of the Month work going forward is a willingness from us all to try different settings.

I play manual and find this map to be too small. I really don't like the race. I prefer Shadows Age over Classic Age. However, I have enjoyed playing the Game of the Month anyway ...

I play manual too, and this map isn't overwhelming me at all. Also, this race happens to fit my playstyle nicely. :)

The game of the month is meant to be open for a month. So play whenever you want :)

Regarding map sizes, this is a medium size map. If there is interest in a small map for future games, that is easily done.
