I really liked Moo2... While I think that Civ II is a far superior game, Moo kept my attention longer than most games. I will probably wait until people have had a chance to play it and give some "educated" reviews vs the crap that appears in mags. Civ in space does sum it up nicely

[Alexander's Horse]

I'm going to try it.

Yeah... I will probably buy it "IF" there are good things said about it by people that actually play it. If it's anything like Moo2, and they didn't screw it up, it should be a great game.

Yeah I will give MOO3 a chance......MOO2 was pretty decent.

I empathise......but there are online reviews that don't pander to the game designers, that will say the game is crap if it is crap.

And player reviews have to taken with a pinch of salt as well at times, unless you already have respect for their opinions.

well I am. if I can spare 50€ somewhere, that is.

and MOO2 was a great game except that "galactic senate" bug.

i'm not going to try it.

You guys ever play birth of the federation? That was originally going to be moo3.

[DrSpike]

I played it a bit.......it was ok, though it was damned hard to win with the federation, and soooooooo slow. And it was really annoying when you spent hours and hours playing just to have the crystalline entity/borg fleet turn up and wipe you out.

I never played MOO2, but have played alot of Space Empires 4, which is alot like Alpha Centauri and Civ combined.

I really enjoyed the game, and since it's fully scripted you could change ALL aspects of the AI.

i played SEIV courtesy of Markus and SMAC and MOO series.... all were decent games for their time...

BOTF i bought cuz my buddy whom i first cut my MP teeth with said it was awesome....i fIIcken hated it, not even sure if i still have the 55$ coaster....

its games like that , which i don't try and bite me in the @ss....that further my belief in pirating....

but we won't open that debate now will we
