Update from Chantz
Hi Folks,

Yes, it's been a while, just wanted to give you a quick update.

*The release date for MOO3 has been moved back to 12/4.*

*We're probably going to go gold this Friday or sooner* - i'll make an announcement here when it does.

You'll see EB and the like retool their dates over the next few days.

I know some of you are going to be upset, but understand, we want to release a thoroughly enjoyable, bug free Single Player AND Multiplayer gaming experience. Right now, we have a couple of late game crash bugs in MP that *have* been nailed; we just need some more time to test.

Most of our external testers feel that the game can ship as it stands now. However, we care about all the MP players out there (and there are a lot of you), so we're doing it right. This make all of us (QSI, our internal testers and external testers) very happy.

Be thankful that we are NOT rushing this out the door So hang tight and be cool...we're almost done!

Best,
Constantine

The only that really bugs me about the graphical part in MOO3 is that the resolution is FIXED at 800x600. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

I hope they release a patch soon, or someone finds a way to get it higher cos 800 is...well..small. I haven't played a TBS game in 800 for years, higher resolutions give you a much better overview of your empire, and everything looks sharper too.

Lemmy,
Go over to the officail website and toss in the suggestion!

Nah, this has been suggested before, i'd just get the usual response that it isn't about graphics, and that worse graphics means a better game...or at least something like that...

They can't change it, supposedly, because the entire User Interface is hand-drawn, and only works at 800x600. Also something having to do with voxels, I think, but that could just be the happy juice talking.

Gah. Those fields of blue are hand-drawn? Are programmers doing art direction again? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif heh heh

I just picked up Hegemonia: Legions of Iron at CompUSA for $25. I might have to upgrade to a Radeon 9700 just to go 'ooooo...aaaaah'. I'll be back eventually with a report if I don't forget. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
