Uh-huh. How come the person you responded to couldn't get it to work then?

Why you asking me? You should be asking him. I think I read somewhere that he returned his cd. (maybe he forgot he needed an installed program to patch, I DON"T KNOW!) Personnaly I don't care, I just stated a fact. Why is it ok to spew nonsense about a game , but not ok to disagree about said nonsense? (btw, "nonsense" is my opinion

)

Friend, the patch that I downloaded was missing files. I had to download it four separate times and finally to get the whole thing I had to download it directly from MOO3 site. Ya I know, anything worth getting is best gotten from the developer. I have never had problems before and can only speculate that my problem was a fluke. Never the less, I did get the patch and yes it did install rather easily. Again as they should. That discussion is now over. On to the Game it�s self.

The game in my humble opinion is actually quite worthless and that is why I chose to uninstall it and send back the disks in peaces. QS, or now the blame is being shifted to Atari (?), got my money and in return ran laughing to the bank. I feel that it is only appropriate that I return their POS game to them and spread the word about how truly awful MOO3 actually is. And I do know what it is I am critiquing friend, one horribly implemented game that just happened to be named Master Of Orion 3.

Your right, this patch did in my opinion make the game a classic. A Classic what I will not post, but never the less it is most assuredly a classic. I just wish they would have fixed the fonts.

I do not mean to offend you, but IMHO MOO3 is not a good game.

What is GalCiv like then?

GalCiv is a fun game that I would recommend to any one. I really enjoy playing it.

I think that GalCiv and SEIV are two seperate games, and both are well suited to players. Now if they could just combine them, oooweee, that would be a game.

Hrothgar, thanks for your response.

GalCiv sounds interesting. How does the fleet combat work? is it a case of you getting a message that your 10 destroyers have had a fight with a couple of alien cruisers and have lost 3 ships or something like that. Other than technology, can you affect the combat in any way (like using the formations in SEIV)?

Does Galciv have ground combat? and how do the graphics compare to SEIV?

Given that I get little time to play multiplayer, a good AI game designed for single player sounds grand
