hey mumble, i don't supposed you have a turn 1 save you could perchance share? not to post to MV, i just think it'd be fun to play that start.

Yes I do. See my reply #18 which has a link to a thread at the Core. The OP of that thread contains a zip file that contains a turn 1 save game. In fact you need to colonize Korx II which you can still do on turn 1. Also pay attention to the thread at the Core since I'll be posting my progress in the game as I go.

Read the bottom half of my reply #18 above for details and caveats. Also in reply #19 I did mention that it might be cool to get a bunch of people to play the game out and see how they do.

So mumble, is the a DL game?

Are you ever going to try DA? I went back and played DL a few months ago, and I must say it was incredibly easy. DA has it's share of issues, but I think you'd enjoy it since it is much more challanging.

I will have a go at this game, but i expect to have my supremelly overwhelmed ass handed to me. Suicidal should and will kick me right in the pants within the 1st year, but if i was to step up from painful/crippling this is the game to try it out on.

Thanks for the opportunity Mumble!

Yes, Mumble, why do you not play DA? Or TA, for that matter.

I build the global research wonders to keep the computer from building them. Even on Maso I tend to outech them and rely on that to keep me comptetive.

In truth, unless you were poorly positioned (middle of the map) at the start the capital quickly becomes obsolete as it takes too long for your ships to get to a front that may be a substantial ways away, barring expensive engines being equipped.

IIRC, Mumble's thing is at least in part his resistance to Stardock Central (SDC) and the fact that there have been no stand-alone patch files posted for the updates to DA.

Given how much I learned about DL from reading Mumblefratz (among others) long before I started posting, I also kind of wish he'd get off his crotchety horse and give both DA and eventually TA some time.

I deeply sympathize with anyone longing for those old days when it was at least vaguely theoretically possible to print all the code you ran on your PC and read it without needing life extenstion technology. But sometimes it's worth letting go of principles in the name of good clean fun

Well I can understand not going that far... At least not until it's officially out, and some of the basic problems of DL and DA seem to have been resolved. (which from reading the forums, I don't think will happen)

Frankly, as much as he dislikes not having complete control over his system (or what passes for it these days), I'm a little surprised he hasn't moved to Linux. My guess is he'd have difficulty digesting Wine and would feel tempted to code an equivalent himself, just so he'd know exactly what it was doing.

While I do agree that roughly 80-90% of the default services in any Windows installation since 95 (at a minimum) should be disabled, if not removed, and can understand how you would not want (particularly large) software companies running their programs doing God-knows-what on your computer, I find the leap from, say, Microsoft (which, even those of us who use it, and even those few who prefer IE-oddly enough if I remember, Mumble is one of those latter ones-know that Microsoft in particular does not do things for the user's benefit) to Stardock to be, to be honest, ridiculous.

I understand his paranoia, and can even empathize, but I feel he (and we all) should understand that, unless you code the OS yourself, there's only so much control you're going to have over your system. Personally, SDC is a compromise I'm willing to make.

[/endrant]

And Mumble, I hope you know it's nothing personal. Just my thoughts on the matter.

Feel free to correct me if I've gotten any of your stance on anything wrong, as well.

But then running any program you didn't code yourself could do who knows what to your computer, also.
