EKK | Darn you guys | 15:04 |
---|---|---|
EKK | I promised to stop procrastinating but our recent MoO-chats have made me want to play it again over and over | 15:05 |
Nagilum_ | hrhr | 15:08 |
Nagilum_ | MoO or MoO2 ? | 15:10 |
*** STalKer-X_y has quit IRC | 15:15 | |
EKK | MoO | 15:16 |
EKK | One 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 |
EKK | By the way, where is FreeMagic? | 15:16 |
EKK | Master of Magic is a MicroProse game released in the early 1990's like MoO. | 15:18 |
EKK | It 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 MoO | 15:21 |
Nagilum_ | although both look kinda puny in a dosbox window these days ;) | 15:21 |
Nagilum_ | scaler=2xsai ftw! :> | 15:22 |
EKK | I 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 - simplicity | 15:24 |
EKK | Simplicity, in this case, meaning the lack of unnecessary complexity, not lack of complexity in general | 15:25 |
Nagilum_ | I hardly remember MoO tbh | 15:26 |
Nagilum_ | once MoO2 was out I never looked back ;) | 15:27 |
EKK | Yeah, 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 :P | 15:27 |
EKK | Procrastination 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 |
EKK | Well, 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 years | 15:29 |
EKK | Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup is probably still the greatest time waster I have | 15:30 |

DasMuffin | I took a peek at MoO 2 after playing a few games of MoO and it seemed imposing | 15:32 |
EKK | I don't play many new games, many seem to suffer from unnecessary complexity or feature bloat | 15:32 |
DasMuffin | too bad there's not a Sirian wlkthrough for it | 15:32 |
DasMuffin | http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_of_Orion_II:_Battle_at_Antares#Reception | 15:35 |
tpb | <http://ln-s.net/+csM> (at en.wikipedia.org) | 15:35 |
Nagilum_ | wlkthrough? just select an easier level | 15:58 |
DasMuffin | it's more that there's a crapton of fiddly little differences that are faster explained than trial-n-errored | 15:59 |
DasMuffin | like 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 population | 16:00 |
DasMuffin | in 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-style | 16:01 |
Nagilum_ | naa, its not that complicated, farmers produce food, thats all | 16:03 |
