Meet the newest MoO member!

[Frankychan]

What's up ppl?

Don't know how much people in here I know, seeing as how I usually hang around in the SMAC forum, but i just wanted to say Hello to all of you. I just recently found my MoO II disk and I'm loving it! Well, just wanted to introduce myself so I'll see you guys around.

Peace, baby!

Glad you found it. I never posted in the SMAC forum. I loved the game, but have not played in a long time. Burned out after playing non stop for a long time.
I post in CivIII from time to time, but not as much as I once did.

Glad you joined us, unfortunately a number of Moo2 fans have been diverted by GalCiv and maybe a very few to Moo3, but most of them will be back. Civ2, Moo2 and SMAC(X) are the best games for us strategy lovers.

[Frankychan]

Thanks for the info guys. From what I've been hearing, Civ III isn't what it's cracked up to be. I've also been hearing that the ppl in the GalCiv forum are bashing SMAC so I'm going to stay away from there...seeing as how I'm a SMAC fan.

Once again, thanks a bunch guys!

Hi Franky welcome to MOO !!!!!




ACK!

[vmxa1]

Well I have played them all and would say SMAC is way ahead of Galciv and I prefer Moo2 to all of them. I would say that Civ III and Smac are better games than Moo2, but Moo2 can be played in a reasonable amount of time and has stood the test of time.
I got burned out on Smac, I still play Civ III from time to time.

ACK!

You're in here?! It's all good....but when football season comes 'round, we'll see who's right!

[Old n Slow]

I've had SMAC for almost two years -- guess I'll open the box soon & play my first game. Bought Civ III about a month ago, so it is now in the pipeline -- probably three years from now. You just have to let these things ripen.

[vmxa1]

Old n Slow, they are both really Civ, so you may want more time in between those game. I liked both, but would not want to go from one to the other.

[Frankychan]

Old, you gotta play SMAC, it's pretty dang fun. Maybe you can join an elite group of individuals calling themselves the "Minions of Yang" (shameless plug).

[Kaptain Ken]

Or become a CEO and buy the world. Bury Yang with money

[Gilgamensch]

Welcome onboard.

Might the force be with you !

Long time ago I played SMAC, though.........

What?! I say Bah! to Morgan and his laissez-faire economics!


This past game I tried making a custom faction and got whupped BIG time. i thought there was a weapon that you could attach to your Titan ships that was a huge beam weapon? Which tech is that?

[Gilgamensch]

I think you are talking about the stellar converter. The one which can destroy planets (during bombardment phase). Comes fairly late in the game.....

[Frankychan]

Bingo! Thanks. I couldn't figure out which tech it was (loong time since I've played).....it was pretty sad cause I loaded my Titan with a whole mess of phasors and merculite missiles.....My ships were getting spanked by the Antarans. I tried to take them out with a 20 ship fleet and 2 ships made it back. Damn, that was pathetic.
