You mean you aren't?

No flamer, but it is no lamer either.

("With respect to the question of Gal Civ vs. Moo3, I just have one simple comment to make about MOO3:

They designed the game so that the real time combats go until they are finished or until 10 minutes have passed--whichever comes first. Let me just say that I had a TON of combats where they had to run the full TEN minutes.

Lots and lots of people will tell you many, many things about MOO3. I can't tell you yes or not on any of them. I found myself rebooting my computer to get out of MOO3 rather than wait 10 tedious minutes while two ships that couldn't hurt each other circled the screen staring at each other.

Until the developers make the 'General Retreat' work better or create some sort of acceleration feature, I would stay far, far away from MOO3.")

YOU CAN SET ANY TIME LIMITS YOU LIKE, AS WELL AS # OF BATTLES ALLOWED IN REAL TIME. ALSO, AS YOUR SHIPS IMPROVE THRU TECH ADVANCES, THE BATTLES BECOME MUCH MORE LIVELY & ENTERTAINING! Of course, you could just let the computer generate a result as well.

MOO3 is an excellent game (pre-patched). Micromanage as much as you want or as little as you want. Great fun in multiplay. To get all the "facts" visit the forums on MOO3's main website--http://moo3.quicksilver.com/main2.html

While we're (not) on topic:
I'm a big fan of Civ II, but the opponents are lacking - I can beat it on Deity with both hands tied behind my back (no really, i can type and use the mouse with my nose!) and drunk (well, fine, not too drunk, but drunk). As can most who have played it a few times, i would think. Anyhow, are the AIs (and by AI I mean AI + its bonus/cheat/whatevers) any challenge in the other Versions? which is the best?
Beyond that, which is the best multiplayer Civ?

For me Galciv was a fantastic game
Maybe i am not a hard core 4 x gamer but it felt more like a game than Moo3 or even SE IV.
Interesting path and events keep me from retiring from the game just for one more turn.
and this is just from 50meg demo.
I am buying it today
