Cool!  I don't know that I've ever played a game as the Ugnari, so this will be fun to follow.

If it's a game, and you can play it, you want it.  Might as well admit it :)

Yskonyn, which mods do you have installed.

UG: DW Universe is standalone. Its is the original game with all the expansions bundled and then the latest 'modding expansion'.

OJsDad: I am using Das123's Chrome mod which changes the UI buttons, resource icons and flags. Then I am using parts of the GEM mod to enhance the picturesof ruins and landscapes and then I have a few mods of my own to top it off; edited exhaust effects, edited weapons effects, a different damaged component icon for better visibility and a custom galaxy backdrop.

I host a zip file with my stuff if you want?

As for the AAR; thanks for showing interest! I'll have no time to update today due to work but expect a new entry shortly! :)

I am holding off until patch 1.9.5.2 is released as it has some much needed fixes to the civilian side of the empire.
It should be due any day now and then our saga will continue properly.

With the flurry of patches lately I found it difficult to gauge when to start again, but I think 1.9.5.5 is the version to go with.
Expect an update soon (tm).

Ok, reboot incoming.
The Nibblesnarf Trading Corp is re-examined in an alternate galaxy!  C:-)

Vanilla game, save for various graphical mods. Game version 1.9.5.9.
Ugnari race.
We will play in the Pre-Warp era. Normal pirates (we will pay them off to become our slaves!), no space creatures (they're a real pain in the butt), 700 stars, 8x8 grid galaxy, 12 other nations which are free to develop. Independents can become full nations.
Colonization limited to 1.5 sectors, which will keep tabs on wild grow of nations across the galaxy, but gives us enough oppertunities to engage in trade.
Tech trading allowed, no resource regen.

I am sorting out screenshots and writing part 1. Expected to be posted in the next few days!  O0
