12-2-01: Data Dumps Bonanza

[Master Marcus]

Rejoice! Between my Civ III sessions I have just caught some new info, it is my pleasure again to facilitate your reading: the new planetary pollution (http://www.orionsector.com/dd-pollution.shtml) dump, and 3 known engines now added to the dumps: Sector Gov't and reserves (http://www.orionsector.com/dd-reserves.shtml) ( note the text about a surprise attack sim à la Pearl Harbor ), "The Speech" (http://www.orionsector.com/dd-thespeech.shtml) ( I don't corner that yet- Storm, Sencho, is that similar or related to the Events ?), and spying generator (http://www.orionsector.com/dd-spying.shtml) .

[Sencho]

"The Speech" is a series of special actions you can get your empire's leader to do. Like anti-corruption and lowering HFoG. So by paying the IFP costs, you can get a potentially large benefit to your empire.

AFAIK, leaders can't do "Speeches" on their own, you have to order them to. And in that way, they're similar to events.

As for Data Dumps, notice that they now have their own central folder at the Moo3 boards. No more digging in the 5000+ threads. :D

These news should be seen on a http://apolyton.net/moo3 section IMO, and with a MOO3 section on "games to come" on the main page!

Thanks MM. :b:

At least with some limited content(offers of help on the content will be happily accepted), the moo3 section will be going live this month...

for the moment, we post moo3 news in the misc section

[Master Marcus]

good news indeed :b:

what will I do when MOO3 comes out? I'll buy it, gain a great game, and in the process of playing it, will lose my life! I already regret purchasing CIV3 because of the many sleepless nights and the study hours I've forgone. I'm in a master's program, but CIV3 has termporarily pulled me out of it (hopefully just temporarily). MOO3 will get me kicked out of it and thensome.

It sounds like a masterpiece of a game whose depth, right now, seems incomprehensible and limitless. I guess I'm sort of glad that the cuts were made, but don't get me wrong, I am not saying the game was, is, or will be cumbersome to play. I hope no more cuts are made, and I pray that they put ethos and other cuts back in. I'm really just trying to say that by the time I'm done playing my first few games of MOO3 first quarter next year, they a gonna have to peel me off my chair and maybe severe/remove the wires/cables that will undoubtedly grow and attach to my body from all the days I will have spent in fronto of a my computer!
