MOO3 multiplayer (and MOO3 MP etiquette)

[Cedayon]

Can the variable interest rates be turned off even if the timer is on? I'd like to avoid having to choose between "Being able to chat once I'm done with the turn, with the Timer on" and "getting the best possible interest rate".

I thought that it was out too, but there's a lot of discussion of it lately.

Big problem with this.. the timer doesn't count when you are watching battles.. Of course you could try and enforce a level of common courtesy and dont play with (can you boot??) anyone who feels the need to watch 3+ combats a turn.. Right there's 15-20 minutes you possibly could be waiting for.. I personally refuse to play multiplayer if this is the level of hell I'd have to endure.

In Lan you can always watch the battle too ;=)

Well since the AI can run planets better than any of us can--- And can fight tactical battles better than we can---And can auto colonize..

Not like we'll need much time for turns. Just need to tweak a few sliders, do some diplomacy, design ships and move them to find all the starlanes.

You make it sound really boring

I plan on being better at running planets than the AI

If that is true why would I even buy the game. Is it even a game?

did you forget to read the entire post? or did you just read tha part that said "leave the micromanagement to the AI" part when what you should have really read was "leave the micromanagement tot he AI when you first begin to play the game" Elham said there was a learning curve, and that the game was so complex that you can't do everything right correctly the first time out of the gate. I say GOOD. I want a complex game

Care to let us in on it?

[Main_Brain]

I've heard you can simpy copy the 2nd CD into some folder, then it will no longer ask for it to play. No cracking involved

Also the Cd is protected by uhm Safeguard if I remember correctly and that can my Burner handle ;=)

From what I've read, you can set an upper limit to the number of combats a person can fight, not sure if that includes watch, but I suspect that it does.
