I left the cats for last…Ĭolony managment does not use the sliders of MOO1, which is something I was hoping they’d keep in. Fights take place at these locations and not, again, freely within the star systems. So they can move from a planet to an asteroid to another planet or to the star gate. Ships move around these systems, not freely, but from object to object. Systems, like in MOO2, are solar systems with multiple planets and not just one dot like MOO1. This is quite a change from MOO1 where you can just move your ships anywhere (even to the furthest star in the galaxy) if your ships have the range. You can only move from one system to the other via star lanes and not directly (at least at first). Each system is a dot on the galactic map connected to other dots via star lanes. So comparing the game to Master of Orion 1 and 2, they leaned heavier on MOO 2 than 1 for the galaxy design and management of systems. As long as you can keep your fleets sort of large, you’ll be in the game and be able to stay out of wars until you are ready to crush everyone.
My secondary has always been Humans because they always have an extremely strong trade and diplomacy aspect. I started off this game missing the Meklars, who are my go to race in MOO. Multiplayer will be unbearable turn angst and will never be played by normal humans. You don’t make a lot of choices during it (like games such as Star Hammer or BFG), but it’s FAST which is the most important part. The economy part works and is not annoying at all, the space combat needs some work but is pretty fun to watch. If you don’t want to read it all here is what I think: they’re not done, but the game is fun and is a solid base from which to build the new MOO. Last weekend I spent most of Sunday powering through a game and I have thoughts and feelings.
Master of Orion is in early access and I jumped on that fucking space pysse bandwagon right away, they couldn’t take my money fast enough really.
