<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I read that reveiw as well. I had posted about people posting reviews BEFORE the game came out saying it was the greatest game ever. Those guys really must have been idiots.

I could have returned my copy as an exchange then returned later and got my money back when I returned an un-opened copy of the game. I figured to give the dumb *** at QS a chance to redeem themselves. What was I thinking?

You just have to ask what in the hell were those idiots at QS doing all this time? Why oh why didn't some one step up to the plate and say; "Guys this game sucks, lets make it more like moo2?"

If ever there was an excuse to fire a group of people MOO3 is it.

Firing is too gentle. I say we tie them to a chair and make them play their own game !! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">I'd say ok to that except there is one fundamental flaw to this idea. They would enjoy it as they are the only people who understand how to play it.

No, I would sit them down in a room full of SE IV fans and make them play a game of SEIV in order to demonstrate how a true 4X game is made. Then tie them up to a chair and thow MOO3 disks at them until they died. (Cold and ruthless, hell ya. Just look at my name.)

Ok, so from lurking on this thread, it is rather obvious that MOO3 is a pile of poo, and is basically a great concept diabolically executed in the interests of corporate greed.

Now, if I want other 4X style games, what is there out there for a humble Mediaval and Medal of Honour loony to go and play?

Re: Moo3 is a shareware now
 

Old games, mostly. MoO2. Master of Magic (if you can get it to run on W95 or later). SMAC. Emperor of the Fading Suns. The X-Com games. The 'General' series by SSI (except Star General, avoid that one). The Battle Isle series. Jagged Alliance.

Ok, so most of those aren't 4X games, but they are all good strategy games (and some of my Favorites). You can probably get them real cheap too, since some of them are quite old by now.
