Re: Stop spies being auto dismissed

Characters are dismissed when their total skills are below zero (negative effects). But this will only happen when characters are automated. So you can either turn off character automation completely, or individually set specific characters to be manually-controlled. I think there is some bug with ...

Re: Terrain Mod - mroyer v3.1 + DasTactic Combo

do you have any creative ideas about the forests, both regular/heavy and cloud. I don't think the forest graphics keep up with the rest. Thoughts on the following? I've been going back-n-forth in my head whether I like it or not. At the end is a little, real-life satellite image of forests which is...

Secret Societies and Corporations

I've played a fair amount of Shadow Empires, but always turn off the Story Modules that include options like Crime Syndicates and the like. I've avoided them as I don't want them to pop up and derail my game. I'm curious if other players choose to enable the Story Modules, and if you do use them, ho...

Re: Will we never be able to have multiple designs of a class in our fleet comfortably?

I would like that too. It's probably a bit down on the developers' priority list for the moment though.

I think some of you are assuming the manual has been done for months. It's very possible they are still working on it.

RE: Is this ready to go or still in Beta?

If you purchase a game from the Matrix site, you will get a Steam Key when it becomes available on Steam. As the first Warplan is on Steam, I think it's reasonable Pacific will be as well.

[1.09] Asset Tab issue

<t> Using 1.09, I have the occasional issue where the Asset Tab on the bottom stops working correctly when I select the "1" filter that should only show Assets in that specific hex. Occasionally, it won't show anything even if there is something in the hex and can only be resolved by reloading the g...

RE: Capturing hexes without declaring war!

<t> Early in the game, you don't really have borders. It's just territory you control. They can take over territory from you, just like you can take it from them. You need to have units spread out along the edges or your territory to prevent incursions like this. It's not broken, but the concept is ...

RE: Is the game going to be on Steam

<t> I use Steam as a launcher/updater for most of my games, but for Matrix games, I try to purchase directly from Matrix to better support them and their developers like Vic as they don't lose Steam's cut of the transaction. I still get a key for the game in Steam, so it's the best of both worlds if...

How does that happen?

If they exist in the description/photo database they download automatically when you are viewing the unit in game.
