I swear it's as thick as the Bible. It tells you everything. All the tables on how a bomber works out at each shield level of the planet. It tells you how lazers work on ships shield levels.

I don't think we would ever see anything like that on that kind of scale, but I do love strategy guides. It gives you insight into the game that you may have not seen or tired.

So is CodeForce or Matrix planning on making a Strategy Guide for Distant worlds later on?

If not, are there any user made startegy guides? I will check out GameFAQ and see if there is any there. If you know of any please post the links please. It could help us out alot.

*edit* nothing on gamefaq.com yet. They have a DW section but no FAQ or cheats yet. Then again we don't need cheats we have an awsome editor.

Yes you are correct. I have been reading those and picked up a few things I didn't know about. I havn't been there in a few days, thanks for the reminder, I will have to go back and see if anything is new.

Status: offline 		Thought I might bump this thread to see if anyone (either Code Force or a dedicated fan) was working on a strategy guide for DW.  I really enjoy the game, but many of the nuances elude me.  I imagine whatever one might compile would almost have to remain a digital, living document what with the patches that are to come.

There is DW Wiki, but it doesn't contain anything...

I miss (now a days) oldfashioned game manuals where you can find all facts you need, but it seems that gaming bussines starts saving first from manuals. It's quite rare to see even desent game guide.

It always helps to know how a game works if you want to make strategies!

Yeah, this game just has so much going on that you have to read the manual AND the galactopedia to make heads or tails out of a lot of things, but at least most of it is in there somewhere.
