The Naxxilian; how can they do anything with those tiny little arms? [:)]

<r> In agreement with <B><s>[b]</s>ASHBERY76<e>[/b]</e></B> here, especially with regard to diplomacy. Improvements in diplomacy should be <U><s>[u]</s>heavily<e>[/u]</e></U> emphasized in the next incarnation of Distant Worlds.

<t> I think something's wrong with my game (forty years into the game, no trade going on anywhere...), so I'd like to uninstall Distant Worlds so that I can do a re-install, but when I go to the Control Panel of Win7, the game is not listed on the menu of programs. I have downloaded various uninstal...

Jeeze- went to try to uninstall (so I could reinstall) and the game is not listed in the control panel under programs I can uninstall. I truly love this game, but sometimes I think its more trouble than it's worth...[:)]

Think I'll try an uninstall and re-install. I have all the discs and patches. Patches are cumulative, right? (i.e., the last patch contains all the data of previous patches...) That's correct isn't it?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: ChillGuru<br/> <br/> Hi, I used to have this problem also. Another thing was my cash flow would not update and when my intelligence agents finished a mission, it would not be updated in the character screen that they completed their mission.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: Fishers of Men<br/> <br/> I have noticed this, too. All empires that I have Trade Agreements with show 0k(+20%) on the relations line. If I don't have an agreement, it shows some trade income is happening(ex. 15k). What is going on here? <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br...

<t> OK, any ideas folks? I am forty years into a game on hard difficulty. I have access to 16 luxury goods and all strategic goods. I have 12 colonies and peaceful relations with most of the other 17 AI empires. At war with no one. I also have Fair Trade Agreements with 12 other empires, BUT I have ...

The higher the number the quicker the recharge.

If I have an otherwise effective spy that is demoralizing, I move them to the space port above my home planet when they are not in use (or while they are engaged in counter-espionage); otherwise, like Anthropoid, I dismiss them.

I found that if I move ANY governors who pop up at my homeworld off to other colonies (move them as soon as they arrive in the game), the chances for a coup are much smaller (I usually play monarchy).

Two buttons would solve this:
1) Disable tech trading for human players only.
2) Disable tech trading for human and AI players.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: FerretStyle<br/> <br/> Does that option affect the AI empires or is it just there as a player handicap? <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> Like to know this as well. If it does affect the AI empires, I would never play this way... The AIs need all the help they can get....

Create a continental planet third from the sun, plant a human colony on said world, switch your capital to the third planet, then custom shape the rest of the solar system.

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: MarQan<br/> <br/> I misinterpreted again. I thought you want a deep space base on enemy territory with huge amounts of troops on it for example.<br/> Why would you want troops on the station just above your colony? <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE> <br/> To keep it from bein...

<t> So I found out how to move troops from a planet to a space dock (dock must have troop compartments- go to planet window/troops and characters tab/ use "transfer" button)... <br/> NOW- anyone tell me how I might transfer the troops back to the planet if I need to?<br/> Looks to me like they are j...

And, figuring out the answer to my own question (duh), add troop compartments to the station...

And as turtlefang said, hab stations and assault pods help defend too.

Tried to search for this but couldn't find anything... How do you station troops on a space dock/station?

Thanks Shark- didn't see that...
