Master of Orion

freezes on turn every game

To summarize: It is about 98% Moo2 and about 2% Moo3 combat system with better graphics and voice overs. Cinematic mode is great for fleet battles but you'll find managing fleet operations easier on the 2D screen (similar to Moo3) Also combat is not turn based it is basically real time strategy. Weapon cool downs for example represent turns. So ship design choice is important to that aspect. It's just as addicting as Moo2 and mods add some uniqueness to the game. Antarans are beast in this game be careful with your fleet numbers. ;) (There is a mod to change the numbers of them as well) Things I wish it had though from Moo2: 1. Instant travel from one star system to another (Jump gates don't seem to work or I just haven't figured them out yet.) 2. Cannot capture enemy ships (No Assault Shuttles, Tractor Beams, Boarding Pods/Parties) 3. Still haven't figured out yet how to get to Antares to ef them up either probably a me issue so far 4. Need a mod for OrionTechs (Particle Beams + Damper fields)

The AI ​​in this game is an unbalanced mess. In every game, 1 AI opponent has colonized about 100 planets by turn 100. It's always like that, no matter what race. The game is completely uninteresting, which is why it doesn't give any satisfaction. You repeat the same ♥♥♥♥ over and over again.

Steam tracks too much information on the user

Do not buy this game as it is not fully developed. It has already been abandoned by the developer. For example, there are no tactical multiplayer battles between human players and there never will be any. Instead only an automatically calculated result is displayed.

What a broken, horrible mess. I will NEVER buy from Wargaming ever again. The game was apparently never supported post launch. There are several easily seen game breaking bugs.

One of my favorite games after X-COM series. I wish they would a new Master of Orion. I played these series from the first ones. Loved all of them.
