Distant Worlds: Shadows

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!

I'm confused. When store suggested me to bring original game, Shakturi and Legends I had only seen DW original and 2 Shakturi. Please, fix it.

^Looks to be just a wrong graphic. If you select both Shakturi items, in your cart, you should see 1 Shakturi and 1 Legend...

Meaning a saved game? No, Shadows only works with new games started under Shadows.

Any news on when a modding guide will be out for Shadows? I couldn't find anything regarding one so I figured I'd ask.

Am I not supposed to be able to select Return of the Shakturi story events if I'm playing as a pirate?

Are the story events something I want enabled as a pirate faction?

Playing as a Pirate does exclude the ROTS story, but not the base Distant Worlds story. ROTS represents an alternate timeline in this case, which is the one you as a Pirate are trying to avoid. Neither the Ancient Guardians nor the Shakturi much like pirates, so it would not end well.

If you play as a pre-hyperspace Empire, however, you can start in the Age of Shadows and work your way through all the storylines. Only the Pirates cannot continue all the way through the Shakturi storyline, but they can do the others.

I just bought the game and it runs well. My only problem is the text resolution. I have read the other forum posts about it and I wanted to know if a fix was coming or if there is a mod to make them larger. I play on a large TV and even at the lowest resolution it makes it easier to read but makes the game look worse.
