  • In-House Preview Online: Part 1

    A detailed preview of Master of Orion III is now online. The five-page article is written by Apolyton CS Co-Owner/Administrator Daniel Quick. Sixteen screenshots are included.

    In late December, 2002, an advanced beta copy of [MoO3 arrived in my mailbox. Since then, I have had the opportunity to examine this much-anticipated turn-based strategy title first hand – both inside and outside of the gameplay itself, says Quick. What has been posted today is the first of six installments of this feature. In this edition, the various races to be found in MoO3 are explored from both a historical and practical perspective.

    On behalf of the Apolyton CS staff and administration, I would like to thank MoO3 Producer Constantine Hantzopoulos and the rest of the game's team at both Infogrames Interactive and Quicksilver Software for this opportunity.

    Good job, Dan. I'm eager to see the next part. Now!

    Anyway, beyond the pre-packaged races, how is the race design feature? I take it all the pre-designs are just combinations of various selectable traits, just like in Moo2?

      Nice article, well written and structured. However, it didn't really give us anything that we couldn't find on the net already, that's my only gripe. I guess that will come with the next installments though, so another case of waiting then! Still I expect we should be used to waiting for things by now eh?

            Um ... while I'm not trying to be rude, I feel I have a legimate question.

            Why does this "Detailed preview" of MOO3 lack even a single sentence that discusses *gameplay*?

            Curious, and disappointed, as I was looking forward to reading about the game, not the backstory.

              As DanQ said, this is the first of six installments. So gameplay will come later.

                    Unfortunately I cannot. All of my time playing the game was single-player.

                        A nice read. I would've liked somethhing about custom race design though. I mean I don't think many people here will be bothering with default races.

                          Congradulates, you've been slashdotted.

                            Nice article, Dan. I'm also fairly new to the MoO world and I found it interesting to read about the different races. I'm eager to read the other parts!

                            I will be bothering with default races, btw, but maybe that is because I'm a MoO newbie.
                            I watched you fall. I think I pushed.
