View Full Version : Had to do it.
No this is NOT a suicide letter.
I dug out Moo2(master of orion 2).
Went out and got the patches.
Whats funny, is all the cheats, and patches are DATED 2002. Funny for a game from 1998?

I used to play MOO2 at home over break when I was visiting from school
This usually worked out to beating the game before I had to go back and occured about once a year. Still a good game. I don't need to cheat, I can beat it on impossible, medium (i think), playing the psilons.
release it at the end of FEB.
I think thet are working on the Net access part.

They should hire someone from Blizzard. Battle.net is great. They probably don't want to support THAT much infrastructure. This will be one of the key selling points besides the updated graphics. Now we can play online. I wonder if they will use any of the ideas that Sid Mier has introduced into the main stream RTS genre with his new Civ Online game, forget the name.
Moo2.
Can be played on the net, thru the TEN network.
And it can be played by modem, lan, Null modem.
I think its one of the LAST games to do this.
I see so many that you can play OVER the net, but ALOT have forgotten Modem dial-up, Null modem, and a few dont have LAN anymore.

I bet the companies find it to more profitable if they can restrict users to only online play. Most of the FPS you can setup a server locally and play it that way. At least Blizzard doesn't charge people to use it per/ month like the MMPORPG do and plan on.
Sell a game for $40
Then get another $10 amonth PER person.
There are ALOT of games coming out that dont have single person PLAY in them, anymore.
A GOOD game will get a person to play online about 3-6 months.
a GREAT game maybe 12 months. Thats $120 extra. Per person.
How much does it cost to keep a server system up. 2 people x $1200 a month= $2400. Thats only 20 users. The rest is profit. unless they want to IMPROVE the game, and keep it running and add MORE/new people, and KEEP those that are playing even longer. 100 players $10-20 each per month... WOW. Write a game.

They don't call it Ever-crack for nothing. The company makes huge profits because people don't do anything but play the game. The relationship is very much like a cheap drug addiction.
Drug addiction..????
OK, I know person with 1200 worth.
YES you are right.
but tje idea is to make a GAME BETTER, then before, and most are not.
But,m most users have not been around long enough to know better.
Im 40 and do I expect a 20 year old to know WHAT has been DONE.??
Sorry, Im abit DRUNK.

In one of my best game, I managed to take out Orion by turn ~80ish using nothing but battlepod destroyers using MIRV merculites to wear down the shields and a destroyer carrying MIRV merculites + EG to take out the engines. Once I had the Guardian ship, I just munch everything that stands in my way.
In the take out the Antarans in the smallest fleet department, I managed to defeat the Antarans with 6 (six) battlepod destroyers. Anyone care to top that one?
And in the I am Borg ship design. I once built a doomstar that could take 3 equivalent Stellar converter hits every tun indefinitely.
So, just out of curiosity, I built this ship with energy absorber and NO weapons. None. I sent it against a planet defended by a battlestation, missile battery and fighter base. I won.
I like custom also.
I just reloaded it up, and been playing again. forgot all my settings.
My best setup was to attack 1 race at a time, with Attack ships, STEAL there ships, and tech or Blow them up. I think i did it in 150 turns against 6 races. worked GRAT, but you need to Start Early.
1 thing I try to set is FAST tech.

Remember X-com ? That was a great game also. I should go and find the CD for it.
Never got to play that one.
I looked up the, reviews on it, and 1, and 2 were good, but the 3rd one SUCKED.
I found something AWESOME for fighting ships.
Spatial compressor....x30
get a couple of ships load with these, and Max movements, +5, +20... It does 900+ damage to 3+ ships at a time.
Mutiple ships DEMOLISH the other ships.

They made a second and third one that weren't as good as the first. The first squad turn based game.
