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!

Nice, thanks for sharing that Weal. :) I'll post it on my blog next chance I get.

Now, if I may, I did a Google Hangout with some folks showing them the then-beta of Shadows. It was fairly funny (and I'm also new to Hangouts so I don't fully have 'em down yet, sorry about that. I hope y'all enjoy it regardless. :)

Here's a series by firestarterxox69 where he micromanages the pirate side.

Since I haven't played pirates all that much, I'm finding it quite interesting. [8D]

Hey, thanks for the mention. I appreciate it. I actually just seen you have some LP's of this game of micro managing. Awesome videos you have there.

Unfortunately, I had to restart this series because my SSD went out and it had all my game information on it. However, the play through should be a LOT better because I have more experience and I know a lot more on how to play as the pirates. I got frustrated when I learned that I couldn't turn off automation on newly acquired ships and it kinda threw me off on these LP's as well.

I've been doing Distant Worlds Let's Plays since a few months back. Two whole series for Legends; Distant Worlds Legends The Merchs and Shattered Federation. Now, I am also doing a Let's Play series with Shadows, Pre-warp Human Revolution.

Yep. Was thinking most people do humans or some good race in terms of warfare. I wanted a very difficult game also because of the race. Teekans have a severe disadvantage in warfare. Next 2 episodes being uploaded as we speak, featuring colonization, combat and more techs! Also it reveals how the game will proceed.

After this one I think I will do a playthrough with the Galactic Republic setup as a minor faction.

Guilty! [:D] As soon as I see the Teekan's fuzzy faces, I reroll the game.

Afraid that those furry faces could become Shadow, errr Shakturi collaborators? :D
