Our first ship leaves the spacedocks and I can start exploring, and apparently Terrans were too dumb to invent telescopes previously as I had no idea this planet was a gas giant till I entered orbit around it.

how is MoO 2016 compared to MoO2?
Still never played moo2, since I got so stuck on master of magic instead
Joseph Collins
And here we have an anomaly, unknown signals from deep space between systems that you can send ships out to, functionally similar to goody huts except they spawn randomly so you can just have one appear next to your homeworld in the late game, makes sense honestly since space is big.
It's honestly pretty good and I liked it a lot even when it was still in unfinished early access. There's a lot of people who don't like it or certain things about it but most of those boil down to "it isn't a HD MoO2 therefore it is garbage" which is always a problem when a new game comes out for an old and well loved franchise. I'd definitely recommend at least pirating it to give it a whirl.

Dominic Wright
First system fully explored and it's a alright. The three bars shown are fairly evident with size relating to max pops on the planets, biome being how habitable it is for your people and minerals being how much production you can get there. Gravity is also a big deal as high and low gravity cuck your production if you're not adapted to them or have gravity generating buildings.
Biome and gravity are kings early on since terraforming is a no go, later on minerals and size will start to be more important since we can just force a good biome onto the world then.
All things considered Jabbar V is actually pretty decent. and Jabbar III is alright with an economy boosting special there (gold) but a little too small to be useful.
Dylan Walker
>jabber Is this similar to Aurora?
Anthony Butler
And here's our first space worker in orbit around the Alpha Ceti gas giant, we can only build harvesting platforms here now but there's a taste of things to come right there.
Having never played Aurura I can't really say but it's like a space Civ with unit customization. It just uses common sci-fi star names.
Ryan Reed
And then we detected this on long range scanners. Big fat sack of fucking nope right there, that system is off limits for some time. >214 defense rating Even though it's weapons are shit this thing could chip damage an entire world to death right now.
Jordan Murphy
Our first colony, amidst the swamps and marches of Jabbar V the Terran race takes it's first steps towards becoming a mighty empire of the stars.The different cutscenes for different biome planets are quite nice, they're all similar with your races colony ship design swooping across the landscape and then landing, but they look pretty.
Also now I own this planet I can rename the system if I want to. Any suggestions?
Wyatt Long
And wow get a load of this edgelord who offered to work for me. I think we can take him up on his offer for that juicy tech and production bonus.

Odd, can't get MoM to run for some reason. I think I played it less than a year ago. Just turns black on startup. Possibly some setup I had to put in for the last dosbox game I played.
>Any suggestions? Florida
Bentley Price
I'm surprised by how quickly units turn from "wimp" to "killing machine" in Dragonshard. Okay, there's only 5 levels, but still, a couple of levels makes a difference. And I like the idea of units being captains and gaining new units as they level up, it reminds me of Seven Kingdoms 2.

So here's one of my favourite things about MoO, tech choices. Some techs give you benefits that you have to choose between, do I want shields now or more accurate missiles? I mean I can get better shields further down the tech tree so it's not too bad and I can trade techs with other aliens or steal with with espionage to get the choices I didn't take.
It adds some nice depth and complexity to the tech trees without resulting in a pointless mess of shit like the Beyond Earth tech web.
Also just before this pic I got an event telling me the Antarens were back in the galaxy so I need to be on guard now. Backstory, there used to be two precursor races in MoO, the Orions and Antarens. Orions were your generic benevolent precursors, highly advanced uplifting aliens all that stuff. Antarens are the type of Precursor that causes "used to be" to be part of the description of other Precursor races. War inevitably broke out and the Orions were losing hard and eventually discovered a way to throw the Antarens into a pocket dimension and lock them in there preventing them from ever fucking the galaxy up again.You know how this song and dance goes. The Antarens get locked away but war had taken its toll on the Orions who were dying out, their last act as a spacefaring civ was to build a super ship in their home system guarding their tech until another race was advanced enough to use it responsibly (re; advanced enough to reduce their guardian to scrap metal). And now it turns out the prison wasn't as good as they thought so the Antarens have an invincible staging point from which to raid the galaxy

Evan Adams
Have your second city built before the first winter if possible, then use your capital primarily for producing citizens and thus settlers so you can keep expanding. Wild Walkers are good for expanding quickly thanks to their industry bonuses.

Christopher Wilson
>reading comprehension
The AI just refused to expand. Ever. Even if they get retardedly lopsided starts the human players will outscale because they dont fucking build colony ships.
Also, invading IS waiting. Once you destroyed the doomstack of the empire youre targeting, it will NEVER be a threat to you again! Ever! All you will do is wait for the truces to expire and re-invade them for another 2-3 new and horribly managed planets. Hope you enjoy micromanaging boring and pointless blockades and fixing the AIs retarded shit like 25 food surplus planets or ultra rich mineral planets covered in labs and power plants.

It has a small turret on each side and if it is in that shielded area (giant blue circle on the ground) melee doesnt work I guess the only way to destroy that is to either use other titants or nuke it via superweapons

Distant Worlds question here: Is there reason to impose limits is on colonization? I've been settling like crazy and so far everything seems alright. Just wondering if anyone knew as to long term affects. Pirates are somewhat more of a problem due to more targets to be raided. Troops have been doing a good job keeping a foothold on the colonies (even if their space ports keep getting blown up)
Isaiah Brooks
Yeah, otherwise you spread thin.
Nathan Hill
Challenge and/or immersion basically.
Playing with colony limits forces you to keep your empire somewhat bunched together, leading to regions which end up being "owned" by one faction or another.
Even with limits on you can circumvent it by settling low quality planets (and eat the constant loss) just to stake out an expansion. The AI won't do that unless the planet has a special resource on it.
Playing without limits means the galaxy ends up looking like a dozen spiderwebs lay on top of each other. Playing with limits means the galaxy end up looking like a load of differentiated blobs.
Pick one that makes you happiest really. I like limits on, range = 2.5 It feels comfy

Think about it. Astrodroid. Astro-droid.
They repair spaceships and do maintenance on computer. They don't fucking take care of farms and gather carbon.
Gabriel King
Then would you rather have them use?
Easton Russell
They managed to invent original droids for the Empire that aren't ridiculous. With the Rebel Alliance, they just used units that looked like they were out of Star Wars, but without considering if it made sense or not.
I need to find a way to take screenshots.
Liam Torres
Construction droid, type 5 or some shit. But then no-one would recognise it, whereas the astro is instantly recognisable.
This is called an artistic choice.
Jacob Wilson
Fuck artistic choices.
Christopher Collins
Yes. They are usually silly things. In this case: > With the Rebel Alliance, they just used units that looked like they were out of Star Wars, but without considering if it made sense or not. is exactly what happened. There was probably a focus group, and that was probably the only "must have" item.
