The tutorial is so short as to be disappointing. Instead start a normal game and go to Options/General and activate the "tutorial Popups". Then the popups will occur every time you do something new.

Fallen enchantress has brought me back to Stardock. I was p'ed off with the 4X space games and wanted something more/else. I play Xcom Enemy Unknown and very much like it. However I came across FE during a trip to Steam and, oh boy, it sounded just like the kind of game I have wanted to play since "World of Wonders", "Master of Orion" etc. Knowing about FE's predecessor I was a little wary and borrowed a copy from elsewhere to try out. Trying the game,

Leo: Hmm - yes I can see that would be a bit of a chore. However I haven't got to page 2 yet so it is handy for me. I dont usually build big queues in these games anyway - I change my mind too much :)

Would be a good thing if the Beta Testers that worked so hard would give us a few pointers about undocumented things we can do in the game. For example: I have just discovered, through a youtube vid, how to change the build queue order. Have only scratched the surface so far but love the feel and look of the game - thanks to all who worked on it :)

[quote who="jlzignego" reply="1" id="3257865"]....snipped..... On a related note I can't seem to figure out how to stop units from "exploring" once I tell them to. I also couldn't disband the ship... not sure what is intended here or not. [/quote] I stopped my scouts from auto exploring by just clicking on them and giving them e new destination.

[quote]I'll be getting the most eagerly anticipated game of the year; Victoria: An empire under the sun[/quote] I wouldnt rush out to buy Victoria yet ... It has been rushed out by the Publishers (nothing new there) and isnt really ready yet, I can tell you that it is in about the same state that HOI was on release. Wait until around January 2004 before buying. The Beta Testers are aghast at the timing of its release :( ~SDC~ [Message Edited]

[quote][/quote] Hmm - not quite right. Even with no contact with others I get other places other than 1st on the list. Even when I have contact with 1 other only, I can still get 3rd, 4th, 5th in some catagories.

Re #88: Thank you - I have been struggling to understand that too. Right - I think I know enough now to try a "through to the finish - sink or swim" game. Experiments and exploration over - Game On!
