I have DL2 and am thinking of getting DL1. I notice in the forums that a number of players think DL1 is superior. Why is this? What are the differences between the two versions that make some players prefer DL1?

thanks

In DL2 there is a serious need for a better combat results report, one that lists the units involved on both sides and the casualties. The current report is just a sentence saying who won. It is difficult, watching the battle, to tell which units have been eliminated and which have withdrawn because...

First, what a wonderful game! And how marvelously addictive. This post is not meant to be final. These are just some of the things that occur to me after having played a few games. The AI is excellent and even at Fair Fight can give you a good tussle. In fact, DL2 has the best AI for fighting naval ...

The brony phenomenon is one of those signs of how soft and safe live has become for most people in 21st century Western Civilization. When I was a child in Western North Carolina I went to school with children who did not have shoes and came to school barefoot. They each had a pair of shoes but thes...

Thanks, all. I got DL2 first solely because I read that DL1 had NO diplomacy and I couldn't imagine a strategy game without this. But I have noticed a number of players here and at the GOG site prefer DL1. I will procure it soon as I can afford it.

Thank you! I was going nuts trying to figure this out. Is there a list of all the icons anywhere? I don't remember one in the manual.

Ok, thanks. I can only conclude that the other races are making pacts with each other at a miniscule rate, compared with how they make pacts with me; I usually have pacts with 2-3 races in various degrees by the 50-75th turns. I am now playing a game at turn 150-some and none of the other races have...

On the diplomatic screen, beneath the line that contains your relations with other races, are lines for each of the races and their relations with each other. I am near turn 250 and have never had anything appear anywhere except on my line (am playing the Humans). Suddenly I see the relations and tr...

Can't figure this one out. On some but not all of my and other races' territories there appears an icon with corners of knobs, two of which I think are atop posts, and the corners seem to be connected by what looks like electric arcs. In all it looks like a squarish, electric pen. What does this thi...

I love to name units, and cities and geographic features for that matter. Anything like this that personalizes a game is fun. On the GOG Deadlock forum someone said that they thought you could name units in DL1. Is this true? If so, any idea why this was dropped from DL2? But, even if you can't name...
