I should have gotten (AoD) Arsenal of Democracy a couple weeks ago.


I got it the day it came out. It's a long way off from Distant Worlds, but it works, kind of.

"Long way off"? I don't get it, are you somehow comparing AoD and DW?

I'd say AoD is pretty great considering it's the first commercial game from the team, and the team is afaik solely composed of people whose previous experience is modding. And personally I wouldn't compare AoD or DW since they're both quite different, DW is a space-themed 4X game and AoD is a historical grand-strategy game.

Also, whoever mentioned Star Wolves 3, I'd advise against buying that game, it's mediocre just like the first two games.

What I meant was this: If you wanted to buy AoD to pacify you until DW came out, then it really won't work because the two are very different. That's what I meant by "a long way off." Different. When I said "but it works, kind of", I meant it would pacify you in the meantime. It's ridiculous I have to explain something like this as you clearly seem to have a chip on your shoulder.

If you saw it any other way then I am sorry. Typical forum troubles. I would never compare the two games and to try and do so would be retarded.

Now about the community effort in updating AoD to what it is, I appreciate it very much and have said nothing but good things about the game in other forums.

Now, I'm going over to the Ageod forum to see about the new game Rise Of Prussia.

I was wrong. Nothing new. Story medicore at best, some minor change for worse. Bah.
BTW In 1st and 2nd voice acting was bad somitemis terrible but I kinda like it. Now you hear nothing. This sucks.

LOL... I know both games are different it's just that I only have so much money to spend on games after paying the bills. And I was saving my extra money for DW thinking that the game was going to be release within a few days since late February. Thus, take up all my game playing time. Now it is going be release in late March a few weeks from now. So I was thinking… damn… could have played AoD for the last two weeks. That is why I made that statement.

One good thing now is that you guys can let me know how good DW is before I buy it. After all, I remember when Amada 2526 first came out, everybody was all excited about it, and I got it as soon as I could. Only to be disappointed by it. I just could not get into that game.

Well I've been playing DW since June of 2009 and it's excellent. I too bought Armada the day it came out.

Do some of you have so little to do in your lives that you can't wait two little weeks. This thread is ripe for the William Shatner Get a Life skit...

Matrix doesn't put their games up for pre-order. They're different from Stardock in that respect.

My apologies, I misunderstood your original post as you comparing the two and saying AoD couldn't be nearly as great as DW!

Also, I have to ask, what does "a chip on your shoulder" mean?

I've heard the term used multiple times but never had it explained to me!

My English isn't the greatest since it's not my native language, sorry!

have a chip on your shoulder


A person who has "a chip on his shoulder" is angry because of some thing that happened in the past. Example: "He lost his game this morning, and now he has a chip on his shoulder." It is easy for a person to get in a fight when he has a chip on his shoulder, because he is already angry about something else. Example: "Watch out for that guy, he's got a chip on his shoulder." To start a fight, men used to put chips of wood on their shoulder and challenge others to "try to knock it off". Example: "What's bothering that guy?" Reply: "Nothing. He's just got a chip on the shoulder." Example: "Tom had a tough time growing up, so he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder." You can use the definite article ("the") which sounds more general ("a chip on the shoulder"), but more often people use the personal pronoun ("his", "her", "their") to say that that specific person has "a chip on his (her, their) shoulder."

What do you mean same level? The only thing common is that they are 4x games based in space...otherwise, almost everything is different.

Why in particular?


DW picks up where all space games have left off.

Four items I love about DW that is above all other space games I have played:

1) Explore. Tons of it too!
2) Customization. You can customize a game just about any way you want to play.
3) In game editing. This puts cheating codes to shame.
4) Multitasking. You can do other things like email and surf while DW patiently waits unobstructed. And for the quality of the graphics of this game, that's amazing to me. I would not expect it from this type of game. I have had very few games that allow this feature and do it well.

It is not like Armada. I have loved playing DW. I own Armada as well and play both but I like the immenseness and fun of DW and play it more.

So now I'll have to wait to buy DW. Mind you by the time I have save some more money I will have read some reviews so I know if it is worth buying whatever it's going to cost(was hoping we may have had some indication of cost by now).

Roll on the 23rd means I can't wait for the 23rd to happen, it's a term used when excited about something that is coming up. :)
