Re: Moo3 technical error - baffling me
Moo3 is an exercise in sado-massochism... why torture yourself when there are MUCH better 4x games out there?? I mean... seriously... wtf are you thinking? But yeah... I seriously doubt anyone here bothers with moo3 any more and actually knows how to help you with your issue. Try sword of the stars ...

Re: Sword of the Stars demo
Thanks for the info. I will try the new demo out. Technically... that's a rather OLD demo... over a year old!! But it's better then the 1.1.1 demo. Does not give you any of the cool stuff that was added with AMoC. While the four civilized races battle back the voracious Zuul and seek advantage over...

Re: Sword of the Stars demo
The expansions definitely add elements the original game was lacking like trade and diplomacy... that's for sure! I would like to know, what kind of diplomatic options Sword of the Stars with its expansions currently offer? The game seems quite interesting, but it would be nice to have at least som...

Re: X4 = dead?
What was so terrible about a game that returns to the roots of 4x, and improves on that formula? The only real improvements on the Moo 1 system are... 1) Each race travels the galaxy in a different way! (This is quite well done, and balanced) 2) Galaxy maps are now 3d (sure, some of the controls for...

Re: X4 = dead?

(sword of the stars is what master of orion 3 *should* have been... a true return to the moo 1 roots, with quite a bit of modernizatio...

Re: Creating a 4X Game In Excel???
Sword of the Stars uses excel spread sheets for the galactic map generator (as an example)... I'm pretty sure there are other 4x games that use excel spread sheets for other functions!!

Re: Creating a 4X Game In Excel???
Well... actually yes it can!! Of course, you would probably want a program to read the spreadsheets into a graphical format... but trust me, I've seen it done!

Re: New 4x Space Strategy: Aphelion Phoenix Rising
I am rather dissapointed. I will not be playing this game. It sounded to me like you were asking him if it is going to be exactly like Sword Of The Stars. And surprise, it is a different game =) Anyway, I think yea, just needs different galaxy sizes. But I can see the realism idea of having a black...
