Detailed Preview of Masters of Orion 3
garibald writes "Constantine, the head developer, promised that there would be a detailed preview of the game this week, and here it is at Apolyton. Constantine also said the game was in it's final regression testing. Here's hoping that the game will be out by the end of this month." Oh, Lordie, if I counted the hours I spent playing MOO and MOO2 - I'm really looking forward to this one.
By the way, still playing computer geek games past the age of 12? GROW THE FUCK UP!
Let's all guess who just turned 14 and thinks he's the hot shit now...
Ok, so I slightly changed it. ;-)

Remember kids, it's all fun and games until someone commits wholesale galactic genocide.
Yeah, the next parts of the preview will cut'n'paste completely different parts of the manual ;-)

To the guy who modded me down from perfect to terrible Karma - Apple haters still suck
... my god what has the world come to. *You* Have got to be kidding me. What he is referring to is the Song Master of Puppets by Metallica and the song Orion by metallica. Do yourself a favor, go grab the mp3's off the web (lars ulritch loves it when you do this - everytime somebody pirates a metallica song an angel gets its wings) and download "master of puppets" and "orion".
is that when they are removing features?
If Google really cared they would fix Android Chrome to reflow text, instead of discriminating
My best moment in a space sim was an old PC (as in, IBM PC) game called Reach For The Stars.
During one of these games several computer opponents steamrolled over me early on and conquered *all* of my systems. Even though I now had NO systems and NO ships the game wasn't over. I couldn't do anything except hit "next turn". Now, in RFTS you had to maintain a certain level of military presence to control the planet. So when another computer opponent tried to invade one of my former planets they didn't conquer it - but they reduced the number of troops there so my people rose up. I had a planet again! And I went on to win the game.
From zero planets to galactic overlord.
*bow*
One cute thing to do is to conquer all the galaxy except one enemy world
My favorite goal, was to cripple an incapacitate the other races, without genociding them. Each race was allowed to have its homeworld, and only that homeworld. I would take all the others, beating them back to their origins... then my lvl 100 warships would patrol orbit. Never again, would I allow them to leave the surface... or for that matter, to build industry! Had to be careful, never to let them go much below 10million population, or you could accidentally extinct them on the next volley. What a pity that would be, the curator of the intergalactic zoo would have had my head! Figuratively speaking, of course. As emperor, I had him executed for sneezing in my presence.
Those were the days. It was only later that I discovered that the Urquan had been doing the same for millenia. But that's another game, another story.
PS I used to do this on Herzog Zwei too... ring his home base with SAMs, and he could never leave to place units, but would never lose either. Just turn the TV off for a week, come back and end the game to see that you died 4 times, but he died 376,122 times. Caimlas, if you are reading this, you won't believe that either, I suppose. Yes, I did beat Zelda without ever getting the sword, asswad.
