great show again, thanks.
finished my first game in DoA and must say it lacks some stuff.
i’m currently back to more stellaris and looking forward to the ES2 release.

What is lacking for you?

GermanDad 9 years ago

especially UI things on the strategy map
– weaponrange for ships and stations
– scanner range for ships/stations/planets
– icons fade out to soon when you zoom out of the map
– information like how and where prosperity is generated
– info on how experience is generated for chars
– info on happiness of govenor
– info on approval rating – a base value with boni and mali added
– same with pop growth – a base value that than get’s boni and mali added
some more but that what i can nail down right now.

oh, and on a sidenote….why is stellaris in the current poll?
stellaris itself has no background, story or lore, so how would you make a movie out of it?!

I’d really like to back Phoenix Point myself, but my credit card isn’t going anywhere near the Internet. Maybe they’ll add a post-campaign Paypal funding option, I’ve backed a few games that way.
