Tampa, good to see you again, and nice review as always.

It's been a long time since I've had a chance to buy into a good 4X-style game. But now, I, like many others, am firmly Aaron's *****, and quite happy about it

I'm enjoying the opportunity to kick back and watch the cat fights on that MOO3 board, while wrapping myself up in the warm, snuggly blanket of gaming goodness that is SE-IV

Very well said.

I read the review CNC did, http://astmod.com/moo.htm and felt he was really dissapointed by the game. I have to agree that the game is not what I hoped for. I Thank God for SEIV, and the work Aaron has done in keeping it current.

Think about it, SEIV is a better game just in nearly every regard than Moo3, and SEIV is over two year old. I sincerely hope that those dissapointed folks over at the Moo3 forums discover the bliss of SEIV.

Just to start ball rolling... I never really liked Angelican Regency race portrait, so i replaced it with this Moo3 Elerian Girl:

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.

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

So geo, save your bucks !

No PBEM

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
