Release date - December 13

At last! I'm surprised there isn't an official announcement on the front page:

Re: Conquer the galaxy! Astra Exodus has been announced!

I applied for the beta, but haven't received a response yet (not even a "no thank you"). Not sure if that means I've been quietly turned away, or if applications for beta-testers are still being processed? Just curious where things are at.

Re: Reminds me of MoO2

Anguille , you're alive! Good to see you, man. :) I imagine Astra Exodus is pretty far along in development at this point (otherwise it wouldn't already be in beta). Presuming that's indeed the case, I'm guessing that -- for better or worse -- we won't see much influence from Armada 2526 or Distant...

Re: Reminds me of MoO2

Please dear god be like Master of Orion 2. It's funny, I've never had the same nostalgia for MOO2 that so many other fans of the 4x genre do. Perhaps because I didn't play it until sometime in the last decade, by which point its flaws were apparent, and had been outshined by other games in the genr...

Re: Redeeming Your Steam Key

So apparently I'm an idiot. I purchased the Eclipse of the Nashira expansion (as well as the original game) through Matrix. Downloaded it, later uninstalled, and now want to activate it on Steam (I already did so for the base game a while back). Problem is, the serial key I have for Eclipse of the N...

Re: Interesting dilemma

I suppose you could always make it possible to "tame" the alien wildlife via researching a certain technology (call it "Ecological Sensitivity", maybe). It's a bit "gamey", as far as solutions go, but it would probably be simpler to implement than most. ...I'm not satis...

Re: Yet another "first impressions" thread

Another n00b question: How/where do I click to look at my cities, especially so I can fiddle with the build queue? Haven't figured that one out yet. :oops:

Also: How does one build roads?

Re: Yet another "first impressions" thread

Thanks Soheil!


Yep, that was the problem all right. I started a new game (since I'd accidentally "deleted" Colonial Troopers in my first one), and yes the Colonizer could not found a city if I'd already moved it that turn. Good to know. 8)

Re: Yet another "first impressions" thread

Thanks for the response, Giskler ! Much appreciated. 1) Not sure about this, but you can't build cities right next to each other. If there was another city immediately next to the hex you were trying to use (hostile or otherwise) it won't let you settle there. That couldn't have been the problem in ...

Yet another "first impressions" thread

Hallelujah! After getting my new rig, I'm finally able to beta-test this sucker. :) Been playing a couple hours now, and have been immensely enjoying the experience. I think the devs have done a good job of providing a world that's both familiar yet still alien. Good fun! Thus far, the beta has been...

Re: What period interests you most?

Boy, this is a tough one for me, as I have a genuine interest in all the historical periods listed. I suppose I'd go with the Medieval period, but only by a few hairs or so.

Thinking of getting (for PC)

So to my embarrassment, I must confess that until the announcement for the iPad version, I didn't even know of Legion's existence. :oops: Went to take a look at the product page, and I must admit I like a lot of what I see. I've been wanting a proper Roman-era grand strategy game for years -- Rome T...

Well crap

I should've known this would happen...

My current PC doesn't want to run Pandora (it's pretty old -- I got it almost 7 years ago). Will have to wait a few weeks before I have my new one so I can dive in. :(
