Sorry to derail the topic (slightly) but:
Would it be worth it to buy MOO II?? Cost would be about $10 US.

You found a place to buy MOO2? Where?
|
Ebay. I'm assuming that MOO2: Battle at Antares is what MOO2 is  Never heard it called that before, just "MOO2".
Oh yeah, here's the link in case you wanted it:

This don�t look to be true anymore.... a fan released an "OCL Editor" for MOO2 that lets you mod nearly anything, with the sole exception being the AI, but i found it more interesting the capability of modding the tech tree...

Ooooohhhh.... *drools* Thanks for the info! Now if I can just bash MOO2 into working on win2k...

This would be a far better deal than any Ebay purchase.

I have played most the games named here (SEIV, BOTF, MOO1 to 3, Pax Imperia 2, GalCiv, etc), and in my view, SEIV it's the best hands down... but my favorite second was MOO2.
Purchase this game by 10 bucks, it's a true bargain!

for me it works ALMOST perfectly but sometimes the programs seems to crash or something and i ended on the windows desktop.
and something i don't know if you know it, but windows 2k, has (at least on the service pack 2), a "compatibility mode" like XP, to enable it, you must register a DLL if my memory don't fails it's name is slayerui.dll, it's on "[WinDir]\apppath\", for example, on a DOS box you type, "regsvr32 c:\windows\apppath\slayerui.dll", and message box should appear telling you it's successfull etc, then you create a shortcut to the program EXE, then go to the shortcut properties and you'll a tab with the name "Compatibility" (i'm seeing it right now), you can try this if you have problems under W2k.

Why, what's wrong with Ebay?? Remember, it's not just the box price that matters to me, its the shipping...many places want up to an extra $7.50 US just for the shipping...the place I linked to will give you shipping to Canada for $2.50. More than enough to make up for what Ebay's commissions cost.
(By the way Fyron, in TGE3 your planets are coming. My internet was down for 2 days and I missed the turn deadline. Have sent you the gift this current turn. Just posted it here because I'm too lazy to send an email )

Yeah, Moo2 and XP don�t mix well... why you don�t do what i did? I created a dual-boot (three-boot if you count a linux partition) system with windows 98 and windows XP... when i wish to play calssic games like moo2 i use my win98 partition, and for everything else i use XP...
My notebook (where i play mostly, since i travel a lot) is divided in this way:
2 GB - Win98 (fat32) partition
2 GB - WinXP (NTFS) partition
1 GB - Linux partition
25 GB - FAT32 partition with all games and programs...
2 GB is more than enough for a dedicated WinXP partition, sicne all non-system programs can be installed in the fat32 partition withut any problems... i noticed that 2GB for win98 is too overkill and i believe that a 1GB partition should be more than enough, but i�m too lazy to change it now...

Re: hello and help
Fine, I will re-install Moo2 and give it a whirl. OBT, Nexus (Fomerly Imperium Galatica III) has been released if any one is interested. It is not like IGII, it is more of a fleet battle sim than a 4x game. (A lot more)

Re: hello and help
MOO2 doesn't work well in W2K. I get crashes on the desktop when I play further and game grows. At early game there is no problems. W98 and W95 it works perfectly.
If you still want to play it on W2K, make sure, that end of every turn you browse through your production list (start this at around after turn 150 or first crash) and be sure the there is no queue going empty next turn. It often crashes just after turn execution when your "empty production list" colonies are thrown in front of you before you start playing turn. Avoid this.
Also, if your game crahses so that you can't see anything, or mouse doesn't work, your keyboard still works. Just hit esc until you are on main screen, then push G to go to game menu, push S to go to save, hit Enter to save, hit esc to go back on game menu and hit Q to quit and then Enter to confirm. THat way you can save your game even when your mouse doesn't work. Also keep autosave on all the time.
MOO2 was one of the greatest strategy games I have ever played. Unfortunately it is not (very) moddable (I haven't vehcked those links mentioned in this thread) but still it's THE GAME.
