I originally paid $49.99 for Master of Orion 3 with pre-order at a game store. I had only attempted to finish one long game over months. I never finished although I was winning after a struggle. Damned Ithkul Harvesters! I remember I was fighting two empires of them on opposite sides of my empire.

I suppose I might try again to get my money's worth. I still have the box and manual. Also, I still have the Strategy Guide that I actually paid $19.99 for. It wasn't needed though. I was just a big fan then. Some of the charts are helpful but others ,I think, are inaccurate.

I do like the story and style of the Ithkul Harvesters as a dangerous enemy though.

I really liked how each AI empire had random names while the race names were always standard. Sometimes the empire names were cool, bizzare, or funny. Maybe this can work in Space Empires VI.
