I have been playing this game for nearly 30 years. It's simply brilliant; inspired generations, never once replicated. The race creation is what gives it such replayability, I think. Playing science-focused is very very different to going pacifistic telepath or "barbarian horde screaming through the stars in tin cans".
The art holds up, too. A timeless masterpiece.
Oh, man. I loved the hell outta MoO, back in the day. Your comment is bringing back so many fond memories, thanks! ๐คฉ
Dangit, now I gotta go dust off the ol' thing, see if it hits like it used to. I had so many things I wanted to get done today. ๐
Can confirm it 100% hits exactly like it used to. RIP your task list ๐
And, I'm not sure if you'd heard about this, but there's an unofficial fan patch that fixes a lot of the issues that never got patched due to digital distribution not really existing for a near-decade or so after the original release. You can find the patch here: https://moo2mod.com/
Hot damn, that's great! Thanks, kind stranger! ๐ค๐ค๐ผ
I also like the unbalanced tech tree. Most modern teach trees feel so balanced that I don't need to make decisions.
Yes! No pfaffing about with 5% extra population growth here or 0.1 more resources per turn there, stuff that feels like it barely moves the needle. The bonuses are big, and impactful.
