Love the game a definite improvement over MOO3. I run win10. Game is 9 out of 10. This game is decently well balanced and at first glance a few dozen turns in you think it'll be over in a hundred turns.... Then turn 500 rolls around and you are still only just getting started... The diplomacy is well balanced compared to MOO1 and MOO2 it's lightyears ahead of them. MOO1&2 would just war with you for no reason or send troops to your planets even though you are allied. I do like the way Spying is handled. I just don't like how difficult it always is to get into a colony. Always seems to be max difficult level and the level of your spy doesn't seem to make a difference, except of course on defense. Planet and system management are well balanced. After a bit of playing the small number differences that seemed trivial from planet to planet really show their true colors. I do like the Command Point system overall and the CPU players seem to be bound by it too which is great. But the penalty for exceeding seems a bit steep. Though I admit I only did so once or twice and decided not to again because of the massive penalty and later in the game Command Points basically become trivial through tech and infrastructure. My Issues with the game. Seems like a lot but all are just minor. Unlimited range, it just don't make sense. I shouldn't be able to build a few frigates early game travel across the galaxy and bomb someone's home world. Travel lanes, though they make for a different strategy to gameplay it is ANNOYING. Just because other games went that way doesn't mean you have to. No clear explanation as to why certain things, IE Galactic stock Exchange, which is listed in the tech description for planetary stock exchange doesn't show up unless you have different victory conditions turned on.. It should still be available even if the victory conditions are not activated. For several games I thought the Antarans didn't exist in this game because I would only play Domination Victory... Minor bugs here and there nothing debilitating that I've seem. Example, upon loading a save the planetary pollution generated was not registering on several planets making them powerhouses as they no longer needed pollution control facilities. Or, mouse over info that doesn't popup unless you click on the leader then mouse over. Little things When selecting weapon upgrades like Auto-Fire or Heavy Mount, the numbers do not update on the weapon specs. This means you need to do a lot of mental calculations to determine fire rate weapon damage and range, etc. A bit tedious to determine if selecting that would be beneficial to the new ship design. Diplomacy being great and all, is still lacking in a few ways. For instance, knowing when a treaty is going to expire would be nice. Having different types of defense pacts not just an all or nothing Alliance would be great. Then there is when they ask for a trade and your only options are accept, or decline and have them hate you a bit more. Would like to see the ability to alter incoming trade requests. "What would make this work for you" option but in the opposite direction. Then there is the fact they always seem to want and get the better end of every deal you try to make. I am sick of them expecting me to give phasors in exchange for fusion bombs as the only tech exchange that would make the deal work. But with that said, it's still a marked improvement from older version, which are still fun to play. Another thing is disposition, It always seemed lacking as it is only one direction. Them towards you. I would LOVE to see it implemented in the other direction. Wherein you could set your disposition toward each other race manually based on how you the player feels toward them. It can have a default slider based on interactions and species compatibility for those who don't want to mess with it. But for those who do you can really like a race even if they are being evil toward you or vice versa. For instance, they can get upset if you colonize near them but there is no equivalent if they colonize near you just the option to ask them not to. If you could change your disposition when they do it it would let them know you disapprove of such actions. These games are always lacking in diplomatic flexibility which is why I mostly play Domination. However this game still does diplomacy very well. As for PC performance - on a NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 6gb and win 10 intel I7-9750H 2.6Ghz 16gb laptop. It definitely taxes the system and causes the fans to run on high. Which always baffled me for a turn based game...Shrug... Would I recommend, Heck Yes. The game is awesome, fun, and replay able. I just wish it were labeled MOO4 as the original was named just - Master Of Orion

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 11: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.

If you liked MOO2, you'll probably like this. It's basically a modern rebuild of the game. Space combat isn't turn-based, which is a shame (pausable real-time) but otherwise fine. I wouldn't pay full price for it, but it's a decent game if you're a fan of the genre.
Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Возможно, чёрная дыра Галактика — прикольная штука Что-то живёт с нами рядом Нормальные чуваки не доверяют Звёздные десанты мне не братья Чужие нам нужны технологии, это никогда не закончится Стебусь над школьницами, это заводит Представляю чётко, чем всё это кончится Как моя ракетница входит в твоё депо Здесь только два варианта Откуда в жопе бриллианты? Красиво сoсaла дома при свечах Палёное шампанское, или вспомнил, как сижу в наручниках в карцере Чётко охyевaю, сколько мне сейчас ещё придётся отдать Чтоб не отъебали, чтобы не париться Держу пари, что всё обойдётся Eбaть в рот, бро, тут главное — перекреститься Хочу на Юпитер, поститься правильно, по православию Пялюсь в рестике на фицика Сoска словно Жар-птица Заказываю тунца и пиво, морскую пиццу Предоставляю бабушке клубок и спицы Цыпа уходит, типа мне пoхyй Я готовлю дома, покурили с соседом на балконе Наконец-то дома, заeбaли эти гастроли Готовлю сольник, уфология, тайна двадцатого века Причесался за колоннами Встречаюсь с наркодилером на Коломенской Вышли на улицу, на дальняке, в Макдональдсе Он меня уколол, звенит колокол Без денежных единиц не может выжить мажор На Марсе небо голубое — очень серьёзная хyйня Это не транслируется на станции Eбaлaсь, как Констанция с Д'Артаньяном А мы тут припёрлись с кальяном Сyка, давай не базарь! Полёт нормальный У космонавта отсосал инопланетянин Поймал сигналы, два раза в жoпу даже дал он Как пидoрaс в латексных кальсонах Прочитал в соннике, что это всё плохо Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Возможно, чёрная дыра Галактика — прикольная штука Что-то живёт с нами рядом Нормальные чуваки не доверяют Звёздные десанты мне не братья Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Возможно, чёрная дыра Галактика — прикольная штука Что-то живёт с нами рядом Нормальные чуваки не доверяют Звёздные десанты мне не братья Чужие нам не нужны технологии в кабинете гинекологии Тётка светит щёлкой, играет музло чёткое Словно раздавленный котёнок босой гном приходит в шаттл С лоу-кика ушатал, он пытался достать лазер Правда не сразу Я проникаю внутрь, оттуда Там пульты, сенсорные кнопки Хyль ты не управляешь мыслями? Уродливые призраки Мы живём в Млечном пути Смотри на мои зраки: Они внутри, не триммера Там могут быть такие же, как и ты, только космические пираты Указываю на карту, созвездия въeбaли Но мы не видели, так как живём далеко Поймём через световые годы Слагали за них легенды Это, что называется, необъяснимо, но факт Мол, в давние времена ласточки не могли переселиться на зиму в тёплые края Страдали жёстко и гибли Появились гоблины И я очень хочу грибов Съел — не торкнуло В последнее время заметил, что со мной что-то не то: Не хочется больше тортиков и тяжёлых нaркoтикoв Просто хочу в полёт, в холодный космос (Две звезды) Мой звездолёт несёт меня в необитаемый остров С гуманоидами фоткаюсь в полный рост Их eблa уродские, лица дурацкие Нам нaпиздeли братья Стругацкие Это галимые цыгане. Спайс в сигаре Лагерь красный, голова косматая Ум ясный, как культурист жопастый Нагнулся со штангой, чёрная дыра — твой анyс Уносит в пропасть, скончался, как незваный гость Оставайся. Неправильно, поэтому спиzдил тут артефакты Я двухсотый пассажир на Марс Билет в один конец Я не вернусь обратно, братья Экспедиция закончится там Вышлю по Скайпу мой прах Из триллиона один шанс на возврат И если повезёт, и нам не пиzдят То привезу магнитик, братка Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Возможно, чёрная дыра Галактика — прикольная штука Что-то живёт с нами рядом, йоу Нормальные чуваки (Не доверяют), не доверяют Мне не братья (Мне не братья), мне не братья (Я запишу, чё ты, не волнуйся, через час всё сделаем) Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Мне не братья, мне не братья Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Возможно, чёрная дыра Галактика — прикольная штука Что-то живёт с нами рядом Нормальные чуваки не доверяют Звёздные десанты мне не братья Вспоминаю случай с НЛО Возможно, чёрная дыра Галактика — прикольная штука Что-то живёт с нами рядом Нормальные чуваки не доверяют Звёздные десанты мне не братья
The game looks like MOO2 in 3D. Yet, there's nothing new in it. Nothing at all! Almost 20 years have passed. In that time, a ton of games have come out trying to introduce new mechanics, like StarDrive or Stellaris. Even the forgotten MOO3 tried to bring something new to the genre. It's a mystery to me why they even bothered to remake this; it's just boring...
Love the game. Definitely a surprise. The cutscenes and voice acting make it hilarious. Grab it on sale it's worth it.
Game freeze randomly processing end turns on at least third PC I installed this crap. Many workshop items claim to fix it. None did. Development is gone to more profitable fields. Don't bother
Even though the game is a bit older, it still holds up well. There are a few minor bugs, nothing game breaking.
Tahle hra je pro milovníky her Master of Orion "must have". Je to taková klidná, relax strategie pro všechny megalomany, toužící po galaktické nadvládě.
çok güzel bir oyun tek sıkıntısı antaran ve nüfus puanlarını devre dışı bırakmanızı öneriirm botlar bu konularda gereksiz avantajlı oluyor
Its a Classic. Lots of mods these days. Would be nice if they released Masters of Orion 5 (this one is technicaly MOO v4).
