As a temporary workaround, try changing your Windows regional settings to one of the English languages. Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options. I'm not sure exactly which setting it uses. Unfortunately, this is a system wide setting and will affect your entire computer. I don't think there are per-app compat flags that let you run an app in a different locale.

No, indeed they are not....there is the vmware option in case you're proficient enough with it to make a virtual machine for DW

After changing absolutely everything to Turkish on my English edition of Windows 7 (language, format, location and keyboard), I was finally able to partially reproduce this behavior! Strangely, I could save designs no problem, but I couldn't alter the invasion tactics from the default.

But with the helpful hints from bonesbro, I was able to resolve the problem so that I you can now change the invasion tactics, as well as save designs when Windows settings are Turkish. Thanks for the tips bonesbro!

This fix will be in the 1.5.0.5 update for ROTS. We'll also add this fix to the next update for the original Distant Worlds.

Thanks for all the input!
