Its like this standalone galaxy-simulator where you can only alter some global things, why not call it Matrix of Orion 3?? I think it's a shame they called it MOO3 because its a totally different game than 2. For example, you are a Monkey Island fan. Some day, Monkey Island 5 would be in the stores. You buy it and...tadaa it's not an adventure anymore, no they turned it into a RPG. The whole game would be lost in my opinion. Same with MOO3.....

I really hope the patch will make this game more enjoyable!"

To be honest, I really don't think MOO3's problems can be solved with a patch. I don't even have a problem with macromanagement, but here it is very poorly executed. The interface and viceroy AI seem to fight you every step of the way, and it begins feeling more like a chore than a game. I just uninstalled it from my computer, and I'm going to play another 100 turn demo game of SE4...
