EKKDarn you guys15:04
EKKI promised to stop procrastinating but our recent MoO-chats have made me want to play it again over and over15:05
Nagilum_hrhr15:08
Nagilum_MoO or MoO2 ?15:10
*** STalKer-X_y has quit IRC15:15
EKKMoO15:16
EKKOne of my friends recommends me to try MoO 2 but I find it hard to believe it could improve enough on the original to be worth it :)15:16
EKKBy the way, where is FreeMagic?15:16
EKKMaster of Magic is a MicroProse game released in the early 1990's like MoO.15:18
EKKIt never got as popular as MoO, but tbh it isn't nearly as good. Still a fun game, like Civilization with spells.15:19
Nagilum_MoO2 is quite a bit better than MoO15:21
Nagilum_although both look kinda puny in a dosbox window these days ;)15:21
Nagilum_scaler=2xsai ftw! :>15:22
EKKI dunno... I've read the MoO 2 feature lists and things like multiple planets per system sound like they could wreck the most precious asset Master of Orion has - simplicity15:24
EKKSimplicity, in this case, meaning the lack of unnecessary complexity, not lack of complexity in general15:25
Nagilum_I hardly remember MoO tbh15:26
Nagilum_once MoO2 was out I never looked back ;)15:27
EKKYeah, and I haven't played MoO 2 so I shouldn't judge it - but I don't have it nor will I get it now :P15:27
EKKProcrastination is my greatest enemy, and new games are its greatest ally!15:27
Nagilum_..and you seem to have a bit of backlog there ;)15:28
EKKWell, I was in Africa for almost four months. A relative missed me a lot while I was gone, and when I came back I got no less than five new videogames to ruin my productivity. It's a good thing I've grown myself some self-control during the past years15:29
EKKDungeon Crawl Stone Soup is probably still the greatest time waster I have15:30

DasMuffinI took a peek at MoO 2 after playing a few games of MoO and it seemed imposing15:32
EKKI don't play many new games, many seem to suffer from unnecessary complexity or feature bloat15:32
DasMuffintoo bad there's not a Sirian wlkthrough for it15:32
DasMuffinhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion_II:_Battle_at_Antares#Reception15:35
tpb<http://ln-s.net/+csM> (at en.wikipedia.org)15:35
Nagilum_wlkthrough? just select an easier level15:58
DasMuffinit's more that there's a crapton of fiddly little differences that are faster explained than trial-n-errored15:59
DasMuffinlike farmers - they're probably just growth, but maybe they also count for terraforming, kinda like Eco? or maybe they're not growth at all, but are instead required to feed existing population16:00
DasMuffinin that planet screen, there's a bunch of stuff on the ground; it might be a pretty representation of the choices I'm making, or I might need to mess with it, Farmville-style16:01
Nagilum_naa, its not that complicated, farmers produce food, thats all16:03
