Thank you

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!

Hey All,

I purchased shadow's the day it came out but have not really had a chance to play it because of work.

However, over the last few nights and for the next month or so (hopefully) I'm going to be playing it non-stop.

I just wanted to say thanks, firstly, to Erik + Co for making another superb expansion, although I guess I've sort of said thank you by buying this game and all the others already and convincing several of my other "online" friends to do the same!

The other people I wanted to say thank you to are Martian Shark7, Tampa_Gamer and Sirian.

Martian - Not sure if your active on this forum any more, but your GEM is an awesome mod and without it the standard game feels drab (It's not, but it just feels that way :))

Tampa_Gamer - Your character symbols, systems names and sound effects mods are must-have's, and it feels like I'm playing a modded game when i'm NOT using them!!

Sirian - Your components, resources and messages mod are also part of the game for me, and just remove some of the (in my opinion) slightly painful UI points in the game.

Last, but not least, Shark7 - Your ship names mod is a very, very small part of the game, and the only mod of yours I use. However, it is probably THE most important. It's absolutely incredible how having names to ships instead of destroyer 001 etc. gives me complete immersion in the game!

I know you guys go to a lot of effort to make these additions, and a majority of people enjoy them immensely, but you only ever hear from people who have problems or complain. So I thought I'd say thanks now I have some time to do so!

Thanks

*Edit* anybody reading this who doesn't use any mods, this is my personal favourite combo. Give it a go!

Wow, thanks w1p. [:)]

That shipnames.txt file was a lot of work, but it was all worth it knowing just one other person is really enjoying it and putting it to use.

Thank you for the mod overview, I've already been using GEM, and I just bumped Shark7, but I am having trouble locating the rest. Mind including a link to the mods in question in your OP?

Yep! Distant Worlds is an amazingly good game! Best 4x Space game hands down! One of the best strategy games I've ever encountered.

For whatever reasons, it doesn't seem to be as well-known as some similar games that don't even come close to it in quality and quantity, replayability and vision. But I think that it will be recognized in time for what it is: a timeless classic.

I do hope that DW has proven to be a financial success and that it is just the beginning of similar games that Code Force and Matrix will produce! Elliot, Eric and all of you folks who have been responsible you really should be proud!

Similar games? NO. Keep improving this one. It's got so much potential and so much room to grow.
(Just pls fix the curent bugs :) before)

Thanks w1p, sorry I didn't read this thread until just today. As Shark7 mentioned, as long as we know someone else is still using the mod - that is all the thanks we need and motivates us to keep our mods updated. Having said that, my goal is to post my updated (for Shadows) sound mod later this week after I get through some work issues.
For those interested, forum thread link to post with a master list of all my DW mods: Link
