MOO3 finished!

[Lemmy]

I'm sceptical about moo3, it has very low requirements:
Windows® :

300 MHz Pentium II or better
128 MB RAM
8X or faster CD-ROM
400 MB Hard Drive Space
Direct X 8.0 Compatible Video Card (must be able to display 800x600x16bit)
DirectX 8.0 Compatible Sound Card
8 Player Network Play via TCP/IP (LAN or Internet)
Windows 98/ME/XP
Macintosh® :

G3 Macintosh - 300 MHz or Better
Macintosh OS 8.6 or Better
128 MB RAM
CD ROM 8X or Better
TCP/IP Internet capable connection for Multiplayer Play

Which could be seen as a good thing off course, but the main thing that interests me, is the AI, and consequently the wait between turns, and those usually need more processing power.
And then there is course this minor thing about he reolution being fixed at 800x600....i hope it can run in window, so it will still look sharp on the bigger monitors

this is turning into a real troll thread.
two quotes
"keep off the grass"
"don't feed the animals"
two more
"never enter the arena of debate with those unwiling to learn"
"never enter into a battle of wit with an unarmmed person"
take them any way you like.

BACK TO THE TOPIC.

Has anyone actually bought MoO3 and if yes, how is it?

I really hope it's a good game. I have friends that raved about MoO2, but I could never find a copy. It was too old by the time I heard of the series. I found an old Version of MoO(1) Online and DLed it, but never got it to work. (some extended memory issue that I have no idea how to work around. no biggie). I really like the 4x TBS genre' but there is a lack of new games in that. I am really hoping MoO3 is not garbage. I am also looking forward to Stars! Supernova also. I heard that is being released soon too.

Lemmy, I read at the MoO3 forum they intentionally tried to keep the requirements low, but still add some nice 3D effects. The target group for this genre' is mostly older gamers and they usually have older or lower end machines. If you play a game for it's playability and not eye candy, then you don't need all the newest hardware.

MOO3 is not out yet. You can't buy and play it.

Your right. So I jumped the gun a little with the question. Wouldn't those that pre-ordered it have it yet? No issue. at least the question is there when it does hit the shelves. lol
my bad

Pre-ordering just means that they will be able to pick it up from the store they pre-ordered from on the release date. Or, if they pre-ordered from a web store, copies will be shipped to them first, but still not before the release date.

You're the one who has the problem understanding how high-tech units can be defeated by low-tech units over the course of a battle that Lasts an entire year or longer, not I.
