This don�t look to be true anymore.... a fan released an "OCL Editor" for MOO2 that lets you mod nearly anything, with the sole exception being the AI, but i found it more interesting the capability of modding the tech tree...

Ooooohhhh.... *drools* Thanks for the info! Now if I can just bash MOO2 into working on win2k...

MOO2 is also available on Amazon new for $9.99.

This would be a far better deal than any Ebay purchase.

I have played most the games named here (SEIV, BOTF, MOO1 to 3, Pax Imperia 2, GalCiv, etc), and in my view, SEIV it's the best hands down... but my favorite second was MOO2.

Purchase this game by 10 bucks, it's a true bargain!

My sentiments exactly!

for me it works ALMOST perfectly but sometimes the programs seems to crash or something and i ended on the windows desktop.

and something i don't know if you know it, but windows 2k, has (at least on the service pack 2), a "compatibility mode" like XP, to enable it, you must register a DLL if my memory don't fails it's name is slayerui.dll, it's on "[WinDir]\apppath\", for example, on a DOS box you type, "regsvr32 c:\windows\apppath\slayerui.dll", and message box should appear telling you it's successfull etc, then you create a shortcut to the program EXE, then go to the shortcut properties and you'll a tab with the name "Compatibility" (i'm seeing it right now), you can try this if you have problems under W2k.

Why, what's wrong with Ebay?? Remember, it's not just the box price that matters to me, its the shipping...many places want up to an extra $7.50 US just for the shipping...the place I linked to will give you shipping to Canada for $2.50. More than enough to make up for what Ebay's commissions cost.

(By the way Fyron, in TGE3 your planets are coming. My internet was down for 2 days and I missed the turn deadline. Have sent you the gift this current turn. Just posted it here because I'm too lazy to send an email

For the sake of my idle curiosity, how well has my Nexus been doing? It looks like they are still alive, so nobody declared them MEE after all. However, my Targets number one and two are alive too, so I gather the Nexus did not choose to go with a programme of... well, aggressive diplomacy.

just to inform everyone: if anyone is still interested in the OCL editor for Master of Orion 2 it is now available at my new (and crappy) homepage, the link is in my signature...

Makinus · #7 February 18th, 2005, 02:58 PM

ooops, wrong link at signature, try this:

Shin Nippon Teikoku is doing just fine thank you very much. We're alternating with the Zhentarans for 2nd and 3rd. Nexus is by and away in 1st place...if it were a solitaire game, they would be MEE for sure...

The Nexus cannot be MEE, for they have the best interests of the universe at heart. They really do. Trust me. Look at me in the eyes, and don't worry if you feel drowsy, it is for your own good. Honest!

The Nexus was first when I left, and near the MEE boundary (they were MEE before). Of course, score does not really matter, and the Nexus has/had an inflated score; too much love for base Spaceyards and Light Carriers. Still, I would have expected the Nexus to either destroy a couple of Empires (Geo was my main target) or to be destroyed by the rest of the world. Is the list of players at PBW deceiving, or has it been fairly quiet in the galaxy?

Yeah, Moo2 and XP don�t mix well... why you don�t do what i did? I created a dual-boot (three-boot if you count a linux partition) system with windows 98 and windows XP... when i wish to play calssic games like moo2 i use my win98 partition, and for everything else i use XP...

My notebook (where i play mostly, since i travel a lot) is divided in this way:
2 GB - Win98 (fat32) partition
2 GB - WinXP (NTFS) partition
1 GB - Linux partition
25 GB - FAT32 partition with all games and programs...

2 GB is more than enough for a dedicated WinXP partition, sicne all non-system programs can be installed in the fat32 partition withut any problems... i noticed that 2GB for win98 is too overkill and i believe that a 1GB partition should be more than enough, but i�m too lazy to change it now...
