Anyone think Masters of Orion 3 will be any good??

For me though, it would be fun for a little bit, but then I'd get tired out of it because I wouldn't be able to customize it, just like MOO2. I enjoyed that game at first, but after awhile I was like "I wish I could change this..." and so on. My favourite part of SE:IV is that I can make it anything I want. Since I cannot program my own game, it's the next best thing. I'd take that over better AI diplomacy anyday.

If I see the MOO3 in the discount bin next year, then I might pick it up.

I don't like RTS because I have trouble trying to keep up with everything that is going on. I like to be involved! Imagine trying to manage a 200 planet empire at war with several other races? Yikes! RTS tactical combat would be fine with me, but not the entire game!

The game has some interesting ideas. One of them is 'imperial focus' points. Basically the game only lets you micromanage to a certain point, then you HAVE to rely on ministers to do everything else. You can shift your 'focus' around from turn to turn, but overall you can only do so much.
