MOO2 vs SEIV

[dogscoff]

Baron: If you don't like the graphics / colour scheme - change them! The gfx files are all there, just load them into Paintshop Pro or somthing and twiddle the colour settings.

As for the comparisons... haven't played MOO2. Someone gave it to me for Christmas Last year but I've never even loaded it, I just love SE4 too much to dilute my time with any other game.

If I was rating them though, I wouldn't want graphics Ratings affcting the averages. Who cares what it looks like, it's how it plays that's important.

So far I have only played the demo of SEIV,I am now awaiting the delivery of the full game.
I've played MoO2 on and off for years, it's an old favourite, which is still cool.
SEIV seems to be a Titan in comparison.
The demo has it's limits, in the full Version I hope you can demolish/sell of facilities so that you can build new and better ones. Also that you can terraform your planets.

My conclusion is that SEIV is great and so is MoO2.

You can do that stuff in the Demo, but you've gotta be really quick on the research front in order to do it before the time limit hits .

Edit: Unless the tech dosen't go that high... I don't remember what the limit is.

With a planet selected, there's a white tower with a small recycle icon in the corner of the button. Click that to scrap facilities.

Start on a high-tech game, and build an atmosphere converter, conditions improvement plant, and value improvement plant. You should see the terraforming finish before your game ends.

Granted, 3d games require more impressive software to make MODs for, but after playing games like Far Gate, Homeworld, SFC, and SFC2, I'm thoroughly convinced that 3d is the way to go. Well, for the tactical engine at least, you don't really need to spice up the main game screen.

I bought M002 Last year from the discount bin and played it quite often - for awhile. I ended up getting bored at the lack of customibility - which is why I feel SE IV is a better game - and plus you can draw your own ships!
