MOO3 is certainly not an excellent game... it is hardly classifiable as a game.

I don't hate the game, but you should be kidding. What about the "viceroy" ignoring your orders? Also, the deveolpers did the micormanage very hard with the terrible UI.
My advice is try to do not micromanage this game.

I haven't read the MOO3 forums in a while. I wonder how they are coming with the patch that is supposed to make the AI harder to beat?

Lately, I'm getting somewhat frustrated with the weekly play balance changes in Gal Civ as well as some fairly odd user interface decisions.

Probably, I'll just take a break from gaming until SE:StarFury comes out--hopefully in July.

Well, we will have to agree to disagree on that opinion. Although I agree just classifying "it" as a game doesn't do it justice. It is almost like a simulator!

That was my point. It is not supposed to be a simulator though, it was supposed to be the best 4X game ever, but it is a dismal failure on all accounts.

I find MOO3 very easy to use, & considering the depth of MICROmanaging available, easy to "navigate". There is so much to this program & with the coming PATCH, even more. Please, as an example, read in its entirety the excellent post by SIRIAN - http://www.ina-community.com/forums - MOO3 under STRATEGY/GAMPLAY
"Micromanage- Let's settle this once & for all." Hope I did this page address thing right

Grant it, there are some people who are bitter about MOO3. I never played MOO1 or MOO2, but I enjoy TBS games & particularly multiplayer. This program to date has more than quenched my thirst in this genre, AND, this game will get "better" very soon. With modding allowed, you can make it better!

Why don't you link to the post instead?

Also, please reread the Posts in this thread about MOO3 (and in other threads). You seem to have missed everything they have said. A lot of people have found the game to override a lot of their orders and have the AI play for you anyways, even when you try to turn it off as much as you can.
