Information

In Master of Orion 3, the sequel to one of the best-loved strategy games of all time, players assume the biggest role ever. No longer do players merely represent petty interplanetary dictators. In Master of Orion 3, players represent the controlling power behind the entire galactic civilization: the dictators, presidents, councils and overlords that come and go are merely a player's pawn. One must use governments and their leaders to secure the destiny of their civilization, to manipulate its policies of freedom and oppression in both foreign and domestic areas. It is not enough to be an able economist or a great captain to succeed in Master of Orion 3; considerable political, administrative and espionage skills must be applied to craft your civilization's glorious chapter in the Annals of Time and Space.
