Distant Worlds 2

Disabling the automation is the best way to get into this game because it will force you to experiment and learn the systems.

[b]Distant Worlds 2[/b] is the second installment of the series. A highly configurable Real Time Strategy game set in a galaxy of strife. Explore, Exploit and Expand your empire as you adventure through unknown systems. [b]What I like[/b] The game allows for near infinite configurations. Size of galaxy, distribution of star systems, agression of other races, cost of research and much much more. It is very satisfying to see your empire grow from humble beginnings to a vast empire spanning many star systems and vast armadas projecting your power. The game allows for high use of automation to almost none. You can set it to "Rule in absence" and go AFK, or manage every detail. Designing ship classes, setting colony policies and running your spy network. It is all configurable. [b]What I dont like[/b] Only singleplayer. This is more of a whish than a gripe. I whish I was able to enjoy the game with others. Game uses a lot of memory/cores. In large games with many systems and a large galaxy, performance can be a bit of a problem. To solve this, simply play smaller galaxies with fewer advisaries.

Amazing Game. Ignore the mixed reviews. This game is a Grand Strategy Simulator

Excellent Game.

That's great! Compared to the beta version and the official version just came out, the three DLC is really refreshing. The series of events introduced by Shakturi's return and the sense of impending doom give the game a sense of budget in the early and middle stages, while the new battleship model and the new universe creatures allow us to see the infinite potential of the distant world 2 different from the generation. The downside is that playing a game with such a detailed economy is bound to put a strain on the computer hardware, even with 32 gigabytes or even 64 gigabytes of memory to play a 1,000-2,000 star system. I would rather reduce the rigor in exchange for a smoother experience and richer game content. We strongly request more ship models for small, medium and large civilian ships (colonial, mining, cargo) to distinguish between technological changes, and we also hope that improved models of warships can also change or even customize the appearance on the basis of the original, we also hope that there are more unique outer space creatures!

Got of to a rough start but is getting better with every update

Very good strategy game. Doesn't try and script the outcomes of your choices, which makes it a superior game, but makes the difficulty rather unpredictable. Other people complain about the automation, but the automation works well, and it's well designed, especially if you can learn by watching others use it.
