Default Re: OT: Master of Orion 3 is now working.

I bought MoO3 when it was first out, having loved #2, but as with many other people, I gave up the game because of all the bugs and the huge gameplay difference from MoO2.
So about a year ago or so, I downloaded the latest patch and a few mods, and decided to give it another go.
And I have to admit, the more I play the game, the more I like it. There's something about it which I can't really put my finger on, but when playing I really feel like I'm in control of an Empire.

The playing style takes some getting used too, though, and it takes alot to master. The trick is to learn how to use Development plans, as this will make even huge empires run efficiently. On my current game I'm at turn 800, got all known empires against me, and I have half the galaxy. It's really hard to quit playing, as the 'just one more turn' drags you forward. What I feel is most lacking about the game is a better AI, especially on the Diplomatic area.
