Yeah, I love that game too. The best game out there to build a War of the Ring scenario.
...

Actually, Age of Wonders I is better suited for that purpose, IMHO. There was one particular good Middle Earth map, you would like it.

Yeh, it seems that way.

Based on the reviews, I know I will not be buying it.

Don't make up your mind too quickly. Not only has the general public only just begun to use it, but we don't know how much QS can do with patches. They have already stated that they will be adding the ability to retrofit ships in the patch(es). I'm still hoping they will make major additions like space monsters. And of couse they can tweak the UI and the AI in various ways to make it more usable.

And also remember that much of the configuration data is in external, editable files. Who knows what people might be able to do with that.

I took a time to read some first player' opinions on official MOO forum and left speechless.
Just take a look here:

Since I favor spreadsheet style presentations and lots of data, I am intrigued. The gameplay and AI issues sound very bad, as does the AI running your planets for you. I'll probably get it when it hits the $9.99 bargain bin, which may be soon.

Thanks for that link, Oleg.
First I was planning to buy MOO3, then I begun to have some doubts, especially after getting SE4 just Last month, but now I'm sure that I'm not gonna get it, at least untill it hits the bargain price.
Anyway, the only think that got my attention from MOO3 was the ground combat, which seemed superior to SE4, but now I just lowered the ground combat turns to only 3 and added a new infantry unit, Heavy Infantry, between Proportions Elite and Regular Infantry, and I'm considering adding "Atmospheric Bombers" to drop like troops.....
