This game has a nice series of measure/counter-measure steps in the research tree that keep from embracing one "do this always". Balancing between those is part of where the enjoyment is, and the game does a very good of introducing new components in the mid- and late-game that can really ...

I haven't played Stellaris yet, but this one and DWU are both fine titles. Very different. DWU is DEEP! After watching 20+ hours of tutorial videos, I finally had a decent grasp of how to play. It's a very intricate system, with lots of things going on, and very satisfying to manage. It also takes a...

Got it, thanks! I was wondering if I'd just missed it.

I'd love to see a "more spreadsheet-like view" of colonized planets that takes up the entire screen, where Planet Names are in the first column and other values (Planet Type, World Role, Population, Production, Orbital Production, Mineral Production / Unproduced Minerals) are in the other ...

Well, figured out the first problem. I apparently have a "High Guard" unit in my army, which has a "Garrison" trait (meaning, I assume, it's a militia unit that won't leave it's home province). Since the tutorial won't let me dismiss that unit, and since there doesn't seem to be ...

I like those ideas both. Simplifying the interconnections seems more important to me, and I'd encourage you to go very aggressive there rather than just "simplify a little". I see a few major prongs of attack to make the tech tree more intuitive. These are in no particular order: Ruthlessl...

I'm not sure if this is a bug or just my failure to miss something on the User Interface, but only a couple minutes into the Tutorial, after assigning my Warlord to my army and Accepting the order to attack a province in the Irony Barony, I click on my army, but whenever I try to mouse over one of t...

Thought I'd revive an old thread to throw in my two cents / ask a question or two. First off, I LOVE the innvoative approach to R&D! It feels like a much more realistic model of how technology works, and it's also a very clever innovation off a tech-tree approach that hasn't changed since Sid Me...

This is really annoying. I get how it happened, but it speaks to shoddy UI design. Really ruins the immersion of the experience.
