You know if a planet revolts you can release bio-chemical weapons into it's atmosphere to kill the rebels and regain the planet.

Did you know that you can also insert propoganda teams onto enemy planets to get them to revolt?

Can't, I'm at work.

Of course, I *could* take a 30 minute break...

Try Staples. They're open all night and the one I was at had a whole shelf full of them. If not then try a retailer that sells primarily games.

I'm in Texas. I'll just have to wait for Best Buy or EB to open at 10.

I want this game so bad but I daren't buy it... I have a ton of Uni assignments to do and if I get MOO3 that'll be all she wrote for those...

Hmm, from what it sounds like it's similar enough to SE4 Gold that I won't be missing all that much.

Still, if you got the extra moolah I'd get it.

I'm actually saving (when I do work) for a PS2 and some of the shiny new games that just came out for it.

EmperorMing · Post by **EmperorMing** » 2003-02-27 06:54pm

OK. I just got the game. My first impression is: WOW!

Is MOO3 turn based or real time?

Read reponse to EmperorMings questions on page one.....

So the guys who made Master of Orion made a sequel. Considering I liked the original better than Civilization itself, I think I'll be getting this one at first opportunity.

Sokar · Post by **Sokar** » 2003-02-27 09:16pm

This version was done by Quicksliver Software and published by Infrogrames rather than Microprose. Its very, very diffrent from eiether MoO or MoO2 : Battle at Antares.

All I care about is it's fucking awesome.

EmperorMing · Post by **EmperorMing** » 2003-02-27 09:43pm

Damm!! I'm still trying to figure out how to colonise a planet...

Sokar · Post by **Sokar** » 2003-02-27 09:54pm

LOL , that took me a couple of trys too, go to the Planets screen, click on Orders and pick a world you want to send a colony to, dispatch a Colony ship to the system and it wiill automatically colonize the world you've selected.
