DW:U was my favourite 4x space rts but it also had some problems due to 32bit architecture. It was unplayable at biggest map with huge fleets. DW II is giving me hope for playable biggest map with huge fleets because it is 64bit :) Ofc I just have 4hrs with this game so I can say nothing about late game (but 64bit gives some hope). Disadvantage for now (after 4hrs) are: UI (older DW:U was better) and resolution (4k is unplayable due to wrong scaling) It is DW:U with better graphis and engine
