Sigh... It seems to me said groups are out to ban every game I like to play. It started with D&D in the middle 70's and never let up. Either I'm totally evil or they need to concentrate on whats really relevant."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

Story is cool, I just wish when I play the Evon the humans wouldn't come to me, "Beggingly wanting a NAP."
I haven't found anything in the game that realy ties in with everything they wrote in the story
you know, all those parts where they just trail off with .....
I think it would of been nice for the game to have the story driven events randomly, but coherently occuring during gameplay
but anyway, the story was cool, i liked itComment

Does anybody know if the Mizara are part of the game somehow. Perhaps via one of the X's?

I don't know, but I'm guessing there not. Maybe in an expansion pack, but so far, haven't read anyone mentioning itComment

Including the dropped races in the next bug fix/expansion would be a great idea (and a salve for any hurt feelings...)

Pretty hard to include the Mrrshans' and the Darlock. They're kinda...I don't know...exterminated?

Oh no. I was referring to the 16 who were dropped from MOO3 early on. Can't say I miss the Darlocks anyway.

Maybe, I've just missed it but what is the big secret you are supposed to figure out in the game (i.e. mentioned in the backstory)? You can tell me as I don't mind having the game "spoiled" for me.

Not really sure what the big secret is. Probably has to do with the knowledge gained with the 5 Antaran X's. Thats no big deal to me, it like going on a scavenger hunt (find and assemble the 5 pieces of the artifact to win game. Almost cliche ).
Another "secret" is what happened to 90+% of the Antaran population. Most accepted theory is that they became transcendant and moved on. What actually happened is that one of their genetic experiments (the Ithkul) got loose and ate them (burp!
).
Then of course are the secret origins of many of the races in the game, including the humans.
Can't say there are many secrets to find (except maybe how to make it work as advertised )

That's too bad. The backstory was quite interesting and it made me want to find out what happened. Maybe the writer should release a book on the story. I'm not much of a fiction reader but I'd pick this one up.Originally posted by Vince278

As far as making it work. I've played it a grand total of 1hour. After that I became frustrated. Since I wanted a Civish fix I started a game of Civ III and have been playing since. It's too bad because the game seemed to have a lot of promise.

Actually, according to the manual, it was a different strain of Harvester that killed off the Antarans, not the Ithkul.
As for the big secret (just got my first 5-x win last night):

If you enabled the 5-X victory, it counts as a win, so I think the answer is yes. Several of the X's are very useful technologies. I wouldn't say that combined they give you an unbeatable edge, though. A very sound advantage, however.Comment

I'm sorry, you're correct. Harvester Gamma (little worms) ate the Antarans. Harvester Zeta became the Ithkul. We can assume Alpha, Beta, etc. are failed experiments (whether they are still around is yet unknown).Originally posted by Eric S

I think it was the original Antarans who created the X's."And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country.

I'd belive that. As I said in another thread, I got my first 5-x win when someone was watching a movie, so I had the sound way down and didn't hear the first 15-20 seconds of the movie. The speaker didn't look like an Antaran, so I I wasn't sure. I'm not too far away from another 5-x win, so I'll crank the volume beforehand to check it out.Comment
