Just for fun, I went to ebay and found 28 Moo3 for sale. Three days after release !!!
When I look for Space Empires - zero.

lol oleg

thats just hillarious

i can't believe the large number of beta testers didnt yell and scream about moo3...

seems like an old fashioned major screw up

poor resources, poor management, poor beta testers = major flop?

to be fair, there are a few of the beta testers that really like the game, they see the beauty in the spreadsheets...

**note to self**, never hire accountants to be beta-testers for games

Is it true that none of the MOO2 team was in MOO3?

Yes.

So, does this mean we should all replace our Death Shrine pictures with Rantz Hoseley's (or other appropriate MOO3 designer's) face?

I suppose someone will lift some of the race pictures from MOO 3 soon, and maybe even the ship styles. It will take some re-editing to make the right images for the clases in SE IV but we could be playing against MOO 3 races by April or so...

If I had the game, you could expect that sooner than April. But, I don't have the game.
