Firing is too gentle. I say we tie them to a chair and make them play their own game !!

I'd say ok to that except there is one fundamental flaw to this idea. They would enjoy it as they are the only people who understand how to play it.

No, I would sit them down in a room full of SE IV fans and make them play a game of SEIV in order to demonstrate how a true 4X game is made. Then tie them up to a chair and thow MOO3 disks at them until they died. (Cold and ruthless, hell ya. Just look at my name.)

An interesting quandary....

Take the job. Have fun. Leave it off your resume.

Ok, so from lurking on this thread, it is rather obvious that MOO3 is a pile of poo, and is basically a great concept diabolically executed in the interests of corporate greed.

Now, if I want other 4X style games, what is there out there for a humble Mediaval and Medal of Honour loony to go and play?

Old games, mostly. MoO2. Master of Magic (if you can get it to run on W95 or later). SMAC. Emperor of the Fading Suns. The X-Com games. The 'General' series by SSI (except Star General, avoid that one). The Battle Isle series. Jagged Alliance.

Ok, so most of those aren't 4X games, but they are all good strategy games (and some of my Favorites). You can probably get them real cheap too, since some of them are quite old by now.

Currently out? Well SE IV of course.

GalCic
Moo2
Moo1
BOTF
Rebellion
IG 1
IG II
SE III
Stars (Really good game)
Reach For the Stars (Not so good)

Other I am sure, but I don't know of them.

Other Games such as FPS:
Tribes (*****en)
Tribes II (Fun but not well supported)
DeuEX (A real good game)
SOF I (Not II as it sucked!)
Blade (Fun)
IGI (Fun)
