Coffee, you are just the backstabbing evil scum of a "diplomat" G.R.O.S.S. is looking for. Welcome aboard!!!! I stand corrected. :))))) Actually I used to play the Populists for that reason and the morale. My first game, even playing them, I had all kinds of morale problems. But now the morale boost isn't quite as big a thing since they bumped base morale up a bit. I'm playing the industrialists right now.

All I can say now though is you really ought to look in the mirror. I made no personal attacks on you or anyone else in this thread, and what do I get? I get cursed at, and I get called a MoO fanboi, a tard, I get flamed. Well if that's your argument style so be it. Some other time try sticking to the merits of your argument rather than going after someone personally, it'll make you look like less of an a$$. I never cursed at you at all. Yet another unfounded accusation. Oh well

In truth I am disapointed with you, and Huzurdaddi, you both chose the easy way, you got personal, you attacked me (don't worry I don't care, not like I havn't been around the net enough). Any argument you could have made would have been much stronger if you kept to the point rather than attempting to start some MoO flame fest. BS. You are the one that started with the ad-hominem. attacks and the flaming. You came on, name called, made several allegations and I pr

If you read what I wrote carefully you will see that I did not call you a hater, I said that you were parroting the standard line from the haters.

Oh and ps Ubertaco: I'm a hater but not 20 posts up in this thread I said given the criteria the original poster stated he wanted, he should buy Moo. But I also suggested it might not be an either or choice since Moo can be had so cheaply (far less than the 50 bux retail) in fact, you can get em both for about that. But I'm a moo hater because I just recommended it to someone. Yup. Get a clue.

Reply to moo3 vs GalCiv feature comparison in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

Certainly there are differentiators in GalCiv as well, and its not worth arguing over cosmetics like being able to play as a nonhuman (which is kinda irrelivant, but it matters to some). There is a fundamental difference in the approach to planets and thus colonization in MoO3 too. Not all planets are suited for all races, and some races are more tolerant than others, and thus can colonize more planets. Again that is more depth than the GalCiv model, which I have nothing against, its a game desi

Reply to Mid-game 10% PQ improvements wanted in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

I would like to see them perhaps nerf terraforming down to a +10% and move it earlier in the tech tree (It should cost more than the soil conditioning and habitat improv techs). Then, add one (Perhaps +15) 2/3 of the way through. Nerf the ones at the end. They really are pretty useless at the end. In my first game, I only researched em for the points then the entire torian empire revolted over to me and I got a culture victory anyway. They ended up useless. Those end pq techs were useless

Reply to moo3 vs GalCiv feature comparison in Galactic Civilizations I Stardock Forums

It depends on what you call depth. If on the surface there is seemingly more choices, yet, these choices seem to make not much difference on your empire in the long run, and that's your idea of depth, then yes Moo has more. Lets take races for example. Moo has tons more and you can be tons more. Yet, (and their devs even admit this) they had to nerf many of the race abilities simply because their ai couldn't play them. Result, what race you play has little effect and they all ar

Oh fleabit, I suspect it's a moo fanboi off their boards, but unlike their fanboi's I'm not going to be disrespectful just because he's trolling. I answered his question the best I can. If those features are truly important, he should indeed hope that Moo's patch will fix it (because whether trolling or not, he picked features galciv doesn't have) Besides, at the cheap price it's going for, he can indeed afford both now. But personally, like I said. Unless you have a dedicated core grou

Kill those worms!!!! Your people deserve the best planet you can give them and you should not be detered by a bunch of slimy worms. I found a 26 planet and this upped it to 40. (after I soil improved and terreformed) Hope it helps. Also, if you've downloaded the upgrades, choosing the 5% pq bonus alos helps as does the luck bonus. It tends to give you bigger values for the increased pq off of killing the worms. And you don't want to let a bunch of slimy lil worms stop you? Of course not.
