MOO2: Leader abilities with an *?

[Rubin]

I recently re-discovered the wonders of Master of Orion 2 and I have a question that I haven't been able to find the answer to (I can't seem to find the answer in the manual, but I may be missing something):

Some leader abilities are sometimes marked with an asterisk (*). What does the asterisk indicate?

Also (and of minor importance), are new leaders introduced in the v1.31 patch?

[bakalov]

The '*' means that the skill is 50% better than usual, for example if it goes up 10% per level of the leader, with '*' it will go up with 15% per level.

And there are no new leaders after the patch.

[bakalov]

The leaders with random skills may get Megawealth* that gives 15BC per turn :-) This skill is not available in any other way.

[The Mad Monk]

Random skills? Which ones have random skills?

[Rubin]

Thanks bakalov!

(Hmm, still wondering where to find this kind of additional information!?!)

[bakalov]

Mad Monk - for example Brainiac and Mystic X have random skills, but there may be others too.

[bakalov]

Rubin, I'm glad to help ...

For what it is worth the list as an rtf(can be read by notepad).

[Brutalisk]

Just a few additions to make to your excellent list bud:


- Kimbuzzi starts at 10%
- Zog starts with 10% (but usually 20%) for both
- Megatron comes with the techs of all three types of androids

Stuff you already knew, but just things I picked out by having a quick look at your list.

BTW, my all time favourite Leader is Cyr!!!! Damn that guy so much talent... He always shows up in my games. I think he's stalking me.

[The Mad Monk]

I had no idea some of them randomized -- how does the randomization show up in Corion?

[vmxa1]

Thanks I updated it. Also added Megatrons title The Ancient Relic.

Anyone know how much he cost to hire? The amount changes depending on when they show up IIRC and maybe level.

Now and then I think to make a correction, but it is fairly close.

[Brutalisk]

zog's financial skill starts at 15% () - because it's his specialty (=asterisk *)

[vmxa1]

Changed.

[bakalov]

Hiring costs depend on leader's level, normal/repulsive/charizmatic racial trait, and what other "famous" leaders do you have at the moment.
