Easy as it is, get the official 1.25 patch, it location is stickyied within the links Cold postet. Go into the Modding-Forums as well, at the top should be another post about inofficial patches, the first post within that post will guide to you a homepage where the patcher and several patches can be found. For your information, im using all of them.
Two more things are in the modding-forums as well, one thread is called something along "new UI", the other one offers "Combat FX 2.0). Get them as well.
Lastly, go to Apolyton.com (?) in the MoO3 section you will news regarding the "Moo3 Unofficial Patch Mod" Colt mentioned. Get that one as well. Total download is about 15 mb i think.

Ok, will try it out. Thanks Ragnarok-X.

You, and everyone else really should. Still the biggest lack is the macromanagment. So to make this a smaller disadvantage i have choosen to play in small galaxies, in which you can actually monitor all of your colonies each cycle.
Im still trying to figure out to how to mod MoO3, the textfiles i decompressed all show up messed up with the editor, i think some specific tool is needed to allow proper modding.

I looked but can't seem to find the demo. Anyone know where I can find it?

I dont think a demo has been released for MoO 3. Even if, it would be unplayable since no patches could be applied.

Okay, a little bit of thread jacking.

When I used the link to the Atari forum, I wandered off and started reading in the IG I & II threads. I found a link to a nice game. I haven't read the whole site yet, I only saw the screenies and was impressed. This is the link.

EV Nova, right?

Its a decent game, but their registration system is pretty evil. You pay, get a code to install the game..and then the code expires 30 days later.

If you need to reinstall, you don't have to pay, but you DO have to ask again. Which means if Ambrosia goes out of buisness..EV stops working.
