What are the pictures of the aliens on the right, are they the only ones that can be assimilate by your race. I do not see the Shakturi.

Interrogative... during gameplay, do you know the other races goals (race victory conditions) automatically, only know them by spying, or never know them until the end of the game?

Also nice to see the missile tech getting some love. Keep 'em coming! Can't wait...

I know it's only a small thing, but this is another step towards unique tech trees. In fact, if we were allowed to add a list of techs to this, then it would be perfect for me.

Now we can have small full packed galaxies and nearly empty huge galaxies...

Would love to play a 100 stars 15x15 sector game :)

Although we dont want an enemy AI winning his Race conditions within 10 years there is absolutely no need for race victory conditions to be balanced.
Achievable yes but not balanced.

Can't wait for the expansion to see who is the new hidden faction.  Pre-order?  I am gladly to.

Status: offline 		Yeah, the hidden faction got me excited too. My guess is some old race that's been hiding on the edges of galaxy and are now returning to see if Shakturis are no longer a problem. Or some odd, reclusive race that's only found by extensive exploration and research.

Status: offline 		Couldn't find anything on the product page or with a quick browsing of this thread. I see that Legends requires the base DW game, but not the first expansion.

So, how does the first expansion come into play with this second one? Does Legends include the enhancements from the 1st exp, or are the new features exclusive? Will this make the 1st exp unnecessary?

Are those circle zones of control? The difference looks a bit large to be different long range scanners. The top and bottom colony of the minimap does not seem to have any, though. Also, only the very bottom green colony appears to have any such circle, but we would not see this for a foreign power anyways, would we? Maybe if allied/spied? It could make sense that planets needs some "power" have an influence zones.

Also, travel lines for the ships, it appears a whole lot civilian traffic is heading for the Teekan(?) colony up left.

Status: offline 		It is hard to say of course, but things that could explain this apart from tech (tech seems cheap for this...).

The capital got a huge boost.
The zone size depends on parameters like population and gdp (and possibly trade volume?). And there is a cutoff meaning small colonies have no zone.

But this is not borders in the normal sense, only borders as zones around single colonies (which may of course overlap).

This is the main area we are still working on, so more details on this are still a week or two away.
