So am I the only one who keeps doing this, or are there others and we should make our own support group for our "problem"

One option is to add actual victory conditions, which can cause the game to end pretty quickly if you aren't paying close attention to what your opponents are doing. That way you can claim you finished a game and get to start a new one right away!

So just how long would you play DW? hours? days? As Sid in Civ IV said, " Hi, I'm Sid and I'm a Civ IV junkie"

Bright side is I can spend 4 or more hours a day on DW. Thing is I never got past the begining phase of the games, so I feel I haven't accomplished anything LOL

Well now, I have 1.03 beta installed, so maybe it's a good time not to restart now more. Yeah right who am I kidding eh?

That's just how I play. I go for days without playing, and then I sit there and play all day and all night I restarted today after downloading the patch, and now I am running the empire on auto so I can see if this is a good map.

Status: offline 		Sounds like you are having a blast Avenger. I don't think I could do that much micro what you did. I like to micro, I am still learning how to do macro though. I guess that is why I start over so much. I finally learn how to do something macro, I want to see if I can do it from the start and not worry about microing all the time.

Only game of that kind I played to the end was Galactic Civilizations 2, and that probably happened no more than two times, huhu.

Status: offline 		I tend to just play a game through to the end, incorporating what I've learned into the current game as I progress. If I learn something new, great! I'll start using it if it's better. Sometimes strategies need to change. Like, beginning game you want to strive for luxury goods, mid game you want mostly strategic resource, late mid/early endgame you just want every @$#@* planet so the AI doesn't get it first.

I'd just play through. Even if you lose, maybe it's not because of the strategy but because of the implementation of it.. :)

Not only do I restart because I learn things, I restart because my empire just gets too damn big for me to feel like I can properly manage it.

Once I am trying to organize more than half a dozen fleets and have several hundred ships I feel like my head is going to explode. Information overload sometimes.

Status: offline 		Well I lernt a few more things today. Will be starting a over again. But this time, it will be the same game. It's going to be a challenge. No stars have any resources so I can't use my fueling stations to deploy and act like gas stations now. Guess I will have to have less armed and armoured destroyers with more fuel tanks for longer range to attack. This should make the game different now and interesting. Let's see if I can better myself where I am bored now since I can't attack no pirates now.

I would be curious on how the AI would handle your game with everything in full automatic.
