Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
MOO CTS is much more of a third MOO game than MOO 3 was. It's just too bad that it took two annoying elements from MOO 3 anyway, the starlanes and the real-time tactical combat. To it's credit, CTS tried to make those elements better. MoO3 tactical combat was a vicious insult wrapped in a humiliati...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
Ah. I do like to play Impossible for the absolutely broken AI race builds. Fill my H-UR planets up with +1Farm, +2Ind, +1Sci Meklars? Don't mind if I do! Let's get some of those SubTer Tolerant Sakkras in for these Toxic worlds, while we're at it! Maybe stuff a few of 'em under those Meklars! Means ...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
Impossible on an Advanced Start game needs only skill. From such footing I could take a game pretty reliably- less so if there's Darlocks on the other side of the galaxy that I cannot eliminate before they frame me into wars on every front. Even then, sometimes I can get and outpost network up to in...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
I liked to play on Impossible and found games on anything earlier than Advanced Start to be virtually unwinnable, simply because there was no chance of getting a colony ship out before the AI had a small empire of worlds and plasma cannons. Very interesting to see how the playthrough was adapted int...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
The Meklars may have evolved into beings of pure energy in MoO3, but this was coupled with a hardy helping of anti-biological racism. And curiously, this didn't preclude them from being eaten by ithkul. Always wondered how that worked. I can't place any of the Outsider race images to MoO3 leaders, b...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider
Late to the party, but the Historians being Darlock analogs certainly fits the bill. Doesn't let you see their true form- Darlocks were shapeshifters that wore concealing clothes or robes. Brokers technology for political clout and sows discord between other races- c'mon, it's their hat. Casually un...
