It's supposed to come out on the 26th.. You guys told me good things about this game, so naturally I can't wait, :D

 

I'm thinking of pre-ordering it asap, along with Tribunal (which was released a few days ago).

Well.. it should be arriving tomorrow (along with Tribunal..!)

 

Anyways, what's up with you guys? MoO3 was a highly anticipated product.. now it seems nobody cares.

I once bought Moo2 with a games-mag, but the cd was too badly scratched to be readable (the one time I didn't look at it...), and the buddy, who also bought it always promised to lend me his to play. And I just remembered, that was about two years ago. I still don't know, what Moo is like :( ,he meant 'like Rebellion', but the graphics are not that good.

What about Hegemonia ? Isn't this something like Homeworld ?

Hegemonia is out?

 

Yea, its like Homeworld. I haven't downloaded the demo, but the screenshots look good. There is also O.R.B. which I hope is out soon.

 

No news on Homeworld 2 yet.. but I hope they release it soon. I need a new game to interest me.

Fighting is terrible, but not as terrible as losing the will to fight.

Okay, excuse my dumbness, but what is MoO3 actually about? I'm guessing some sort of strategy, but what are we talking about? Space, fantasy, historical? :?:

I haven't played any of the previous games.. but from what I gather so far, there are several races. It's similar to Rebellion, really. You conquer planets, and then there's a tactical mode for battles. Just cooler... lots cooler. Supposedly.

Moo is not based on any known movie or series, it's an independent series. it's also one of my all time favorite games, yes even above rebellion.

 

In the previous games you basically start on a single planet and from there on counquer the entire galaxy, become president of the senate or destroy some ultimate evil elder race.

In order to achieve any of these goals you have to, colonize new worlds, research new techs, design your ships, use diplomacy and spying to be victorious. Both tactical and stratagy is turnbased and are quite fun.

In the second game there where some 8 or 10 races. All having their own strengths and weaknesses. Not to mention that you can create your own race. Plus techologies are really diverse in this game from the lowly laser tot the stellar coverter. (deathstar eat your hart out). Many a planet has been shot to pieces thanks to this gadget. :lol:

 

The third installment of this most excellent series is promising to be even more complex, with 16 races devided into a couple of sub-catagories, Humanoid, Saurian, ect. And these guys can have rebellions and split into little empires, which have the same options as the original ones.

 

Anyway I could probably talk about this for hours, It’s best if you check out (http://www.orionsector.com, or http://apolyton.net/moo3/. It’s been delayed for ages, but it looks like a winner. Hmm, games that last weeks, fleet battles with 100’s of ships, disgnable craft from missles to Levithans (1-2 km ships), 100’s of techs, tactical groundbattles, senate politics/backstabing (Don’t like nukes, ban em!) and the list goes on and on. *drools*

 

The game should be modablem. all values are stored in some kind of spread-sheat format and the moddels can be edited with 3d max, not to sure about that last part thoug. *hell it should be easier than Reb ,right :lol:

 

Sorry about the comercial, but both Moo’s are my all time fav games. I still get a chuckle when It asks for DirectX 2.

 

 

 

Oh and Heagemonia is nothing like homeworld. It’s pretty, but tactics are non-existant in this game. When you only have fighers build fighters, when you develop cruisers just build cruisers and finally once you develop battle ships, your fleets will consist of nothing but giant battleships and you’ll send them in straight lines at your targets. Plus the 2 campaigns merge after four missions and from thereon are exactly the same. But it does look insanly good for a RTS though. Wreckage and missles flying about in a beautifull light show.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall. They punch, kick and choke harder too.

I have to say, i was brought up on rts, not turn based, and as such, i'm afraid i probably won't enjoy it quite so much as you, no matter how good it looks. Turn based drives me insane. :(

I think it should be out very soon now. I believe Freelancer is out in the USA now, but it's not out over here yet. :(

Who else bought it and thinks it's a disappointment? Has a very, very high learning curve... I think the AI should do a lot more for me then it does now, i.e. design new ships automatically and build those instead of building obsolete ships :(

 

The resolution is too small as well.. I wouldn't mind bigger ones :)

I saw it in the shop today and saw the box. The graphics don't look very impressive i have to say.
