Status: offline 		So I decided to start a game just to re-familiarize myself and have some fun. It was supposed to be a pre-warp empire, but a few minutes in, I realized that I already have hyperdrive tech. Oops.

After a few hours, I decided to go back and check the game setups. Not only I set myself as a standard empire, I also set everyone else at pre-warp. Double oops.

It'll probably be a very short game once I cleared out the pirates. Here's the YouTube link just for giggles:
XHuman Authority -- Distant Worlds: Universe

Edit: fix link.

Status: offline 		Part 9 is up. We did manage to resolve some of the fuel issues, but we also tried to do a surprise attack against a second home world. It didn't work this time as they have proper defense.

Status: offline 		Since the setup makes for quite an interesting game (we started in the middle of nowhere, but had a leg up on the other empires) I have decided to continue the series to its end.

I have switched to uploading one video a night for this series, and I'm trying really hard to keep them under 30 minutes apiece (without much success lately -- they have been running to over an hour each during the war). So I will try to post just a recap every few days, unless something really interesting happens.

Here are the latest episodes:
  • XHuman Authority -- Distant Worlds: Universe - Part 16 - Positioning for War
  • XHuman Authority -- Distant Worlds: Universe - Part 17 - War
  • XHuman Authority -- Distant Worlds: Universe - Part 18 - Conquering


    With XHuman Authority -- Distant Worlds: Universe - Part 19 - Space Control scheduled for tomorrow.

    Status: offline     		This series is now concluded. XHuman Authority part 1-76 had been either published or scheduled.

    The funny thing is, as I went and save the game for one last time, it crashed. I guess I should have used LargeAddressAware on my Steam version of DW as well :)

    Thank you all for watching the series. I'll start another one on higher difficulty settings soon.
