What are the good things in MOO3 and what could be translated into SE5 and what shouldn't ever?

Problem is, I LOVE micromanagement.

Before I even think about buying the game I'd like to hear someone's impressions of the multiplayer. Is the tcp/ip the only option? Is there a PBEM option at all?

Here is another thread listing the bugs, and design problems with MOO III. I have it, I have about 12 hours into it, and I'm greatly saddened so far. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

My feeling is that most of SE4 fans will totally/fully/completely hate MOO3.

So geo, save your bucks !

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">No PBEM http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif I read carefully all negative and positive reviews and I will buy Moo3 but few months later. At discount prize and after at least one patch http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I like MOO 3 and am a die-hard strat fan, having played all the CIV's and the previous MOO's (to death!). I think it's much better than previous MOO's. My only real complaints are I wish I could micromanage more easily. There ARE ways to micromanage just about everything once you learn the ropes. Also I wish the AI was tougher, but as we are finding out you CAN mod moo 3's AI via text files (among other things). Do I like MOO 3 more than SE IV? They are both different enough for me to want to play both. SE IV is a faster paced game, whereas MOO 3 takes more time in my opinion (I've been playing MOO 3 constantly for about 5 days). The diplomacy is much better than SE IV (which is my biggest gripe with it), no cheap loop holes like simply ignoring the AI (I hate that in SE IV) when you want to avoid war or making lop-sided trades (the 2 empty frigates for a colony ship come to mind). But anyway, aside from a few minor complaints, I recommend MOO 3.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you don't like those things, don't do them. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Or better yet, play with other humans. It is much more enjoyable that way.

Glad to see a positive comment about Moo3 from a person who likes SEIV !
Just one question - does it have a big replay value or you can follow the same routine every time you play ?

What I mean is for example if I play one game against Organic race I'll design ships with armor skipping weapons and put twice as many PD, if next time I play against Temporal I will not bother with shields on my ships, etc. These are crude examples but you understand what I mean.
