If you werent bitter you wouldnt keep flaming. The AI for moo3 is being fixed, it was way too hard so they overdid the toning down just before release. Even still its got so much more feel: taskforces that keep me awake night figuring out specs of the all ship loadouts for taking down my neighbors fleets (get a military AI player made mod for a taste of what the ai can do), aliens that really scare me, 3d space, combat that unfolds in realtime, ground invasions with real options, an intertwin

I'm just responding to the moo3 trashing, I didnt start the post. I'm extremely happy with moo3, I have no need to feel better about it. The upcoming patch looks like it will address everyones concerns, I'm sure the main reason it is taking so long is moo3 is such an immensely more complex game than something like galciv which I could have made on my vic20 back in the day (without the cutscenes which are repetive and annoying after the first couple times anyway). Its the bitter galciv

PC magazine just gave moo3 a 4/5 rating. Seems the reviews are all over the board for poor moo3.

Yea moo3 needs a patch for its AI aggressiveness (player mods out do a very good job of correcting this though troop invasions still need to be fixed) but its hugely deeper and more convincing a universe then the flakey comedy world of galciv. Galciv is chess like in its simplicity and depth which I will say is quite an accomplishment (I'm not trolling ;) ) and the devs are quite good (kudos to them) but if it doesnt convince me that I'm running a stellar empire except very superficially. :(<

I think its very funny how people that like MOO3 are fanboys and people that like Galciv arent... :notsure: Many MOO3 players LOVE MOO3, and are very very peeved at the trolls who come to the Moo3 boards to say galciv is sooo much better and call them fanboys for liking it (when its just a matter of preference, they are very different games) so feel very much at liberty to do the same in return. I have both games and I really dont like galciv either (though I plan to work on
