There is a really simple reason its not a hit classic like moo and moo2, its just not that great of a game outta the box. I currently own Moo3 and after being an avid fan of moo2, galactic civilizations, and the space empires series, I was extremely disapointed with almost every feature of moo3, it was cold, boring, it took thousands of hours to play, it was complex for no reason, you some times had to dig through 20 menus just to get to some minor imperial setting. If you can find it for 5 bucks it's worth a look. It's all 2d and the combat is turn based. Pretty lower graphics and game play compared to MoO3. It's amost a completely different game from MoO3. I haven't seen any gaming of MoO2 online. The auto-saved file size should be about 20MBs each. I don't think there's a way to stop the auto-save and since I haven't been able to turn it off I don't know for sure. around 200 hundred turns most of the systems have been explored and many colonized so you computer is auto-saving EVERY turn (I think). If you loose you only loose 10 armadas and the other will stay to blockade the system. If you have 20+ armadas I think it's ok to attack their planet. If you hold them there they'll start amassing a huge fleet of armadas, so send an armada every turn to build up your forces. If it's in your system or a non-held system, they either beat you or bypass you. And the most important part is it has to be in their system. That should hold them as long as they don't engage you. you need a strong set of at least 10 armadas more is better.ĥ. The other site is just as cold and quiet.
