I bet the MOO3 AI will do very poorly in the micromanagement arena. Enough so that if you are playing against other humans you will have to perform the micromanagement yourself to stay par with a human that is doing the same.

I've heard alot of bad things about this product. Here is a list of things taken out:

-Customizing Your Empire's Color
-Customizing Your Ship's Look
-Customizing Your Homeworld's Name
-Customizing Each Star's Name You Conquer
-Seeing Pretty Stars On The Galaxy Map
-Bombs taken out???
-Not Able To Capture/Board Enemy Ships

I don't think I'll be touching this.

no, System Wars does not have a website. It is, to my knowledge, an SE-based RTS game in a single system within the SE Universe......

and MOO3 has the one feature that I hate most about SE4: SIMULTANEOUS MOVEMENT. I hate and despise it, it's like a compromise between turn based and RTS. If you want TBS, play TBS, if you want RTS, play RTS but SM is just stupid.

I think that SE: System Wars has been put on hold.

Any idea when MOO3 will come out? Last time I looked in PC Gamer magazine, they said the game had already been released, yet I still don't see it in the stores.
