4-hour let's play of the Alpha version of the game.

I still have a sour taste in my mouth after pre-ordering SoTS2 and it sucking badly a few years ago.
That is accurate. Not a game-killer for me, and in the case of real time probably preferred. In my time playing MoO2, large battles became a huge choreSuederwind wrote:I have read some reviews on steam that were less than favorable. Are there really starlanes and no turn based combat now?.
Yeah, I noticed that when they were making MOO3 as well; the artists seem to want to remember the Elerians being scantily clad like the Syreen, which they never were.SVlad wrote:MoO2 Elerians looks much better in my opinion. This art resembles syreen from the Star Control 3 in some way.
Maybe it's not the same material, maybe high-gloss lacquer made from a finite resource is just in fashion in a head-blowingly big way, and the wars raging across the galaxy are being waged for control of the lacquer?icekatze wrote:hi hi
I'm a little bit astonished by the materials used, or perhaps the one single material that appears to be used. To my knowledge, the new Master of Orion was made by a reasonably big studio. It's kind of strange that the outfits, props, and the skin textures all look like they're made from the same glossy material.
Actually, I'm not about their clothes. I'm about they are (IMHO) unpretty.Arioch wrote:Yeah, I noticed that when they were making MOO3 as well; the artists seem to want to remember the Elerians being scantily clad like the Syreen, which they never were.SVlad wrote:MoO2 Elerians looks much better in my opinion.

The Wargaming is just a publisher. The actual developers are NGD Studios.icekatze wrote:hi hi

Look at it this way: the Elerians clearly have a better wardrobe budget than the Trilarians or Antarans .Arioch wrote:Yeah, I noticed that when they were making MOO3 as well; the artists seem to want to remember the Elerians being scantily clad like the Syreen, which they never were.SVlad wrote:MoO2 Elerians looks much better in my opinion.
