Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
I have decided to buy a new 'space game' and wanted some input on wether to buy Galactic Civ or MOO 3. Or possibly some other game I've never heard of. (YES, I HAVE SEIV Gold)
So what do you gamers like better?

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
As it stands, Galactic Civ is far superior, but will still pale next to SEIV.
However MoO3 can still be the next big thing...just not right now. However, if you read their forums, the list of things they have put in the badly needed patch are exactly what they needed to do for a great game. I think they've done 140 odd fixes at this point, and they're almost halfway finished with the patch.
Just get all of them like I did  |

Easy, take GalCiv. It's much better then MOO3 (as if this would be hard...).

Depends. If you are speaking about the SE4 PBW game Master of Orion 3 then it rocks before anything else.
If you speak about the sorry excuse that is sold as MOO3 brand, then run for galciv.

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
GalCiv is hardly comparable to SE4 or MOO3; it is not in the same genre. SE4 and MOO3 are 4X games, GalCiv is a Civilization-type game. Direct comparisons between them don't work very well (either way).

Hmmm. I always thought Civ(1or2) is a classic 4X game !
If not, please define 4X in a way Civ would not be included.

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
IMO, one of the major aspects of a 4X game is critical design decisions. Civ-type games do not have these. You research tech, and your units are always the same. Maybe I mean Space Opera and not just 4X in general...

There is no X in ship design

Re: Recycle Old Threads Drive Canceled!
So? That is irrelevant. There is more to a 4X game than just the X's...
