Re: Traitor
My comments on MOO2 : the best game I ever played.
I'll always remember this game by this typical phrase : "One more turn... I play just one more turn and I'm going to bed...what time is it anyway ? ARRGGHH ! 5h30 AM and I have class...guess I'm not going to that one, again..."
I'm very excited about MOO3.
The religion system looks very cool. Never seen this in any other 4X game. I look forward to see how will the "command points" (imperial focus - IF) system will work. But it looks promising.
I always thought it was very unrealistic, and boring, that you could control every single aspect of the gameplay in 4X. Of course, it can be fun to some extend to control everything, and most games let you do so, but it's just not that fun. I would love to have a game where my ministers have a real impact on the game. Their personnality and ambition could have so much impact on how the game evolves. Think about it: your security minister didn't tell you about the robbery of your new ship prototype, because it was caused by his mistakes...
The posibilities are endless. I want to manage the game, yes, but managing ministers that would be really more cool.
About SE4 in general, this game is fun in multiplayer. It has lots of possibility, but still lots of issue.
Strategic combat in particular. It totally sucks. You have to guess as to what is the best design to build within the strategic combat system. We don't have access to sufficient information to design ship successfully. You can design ships that will totally rock in tactical combat, and get wiped out all the time in strategic.
I haven't played one game yet for more than 100 hundred turns. Also, the longest play session I had is around 9 hours. That's to me really reflects my level of enjoyment. The more hours I can play in a row, the better the game usually is.
MOO2 ? How about 28 hours...
Alpha Centauri ? How about 22 hours...
Civ I ? How about 24 hours...
The 9 from SE4 tells a lot.
Hey don't get me wrong. I still love this game, but there's still way too much problem with the game right now.
