Prejudice sucks

I can resist anything, but temptation and super mario.
One can always get mocked for being polite.

A Usual Suspect

Anyone tried Galactic Civilizations 2? When i got it, I expected to be another tired MOO clone, but it got me hooked instantly. The only game that could ever compare in terms of raw addictiveness would have to be Civ 4
...her rabid glow is like braille to the night

Essentially, i think the biggest problem with MOO3 was it's promise.
I mean, if you didn't let the computer do everything for you, your economy would crash. If you did go along with what the computer was deciding and you made it big in the galaxy....your economy would crash. You had diplomacy that did nothing. You had customizable space ships that battled in a faux 3D environment that...moved really slowly, in tight uncompromising formations and with weird glitchy cloaking things that simply turned on and off for no reason explained by the game mechanics... The game isn't unplayable...you just don't want to play it.
It's one of those games that you wish someone would take, reprogram and make better...but no one does.

It looks like some people are working on an open source remake. 
I don't know if it's any good, and it looks as though it's still in process, so I'm not really certain how complete it is, but at least it's something.

Looks neat. There's no AI in the current version, but MP looks to be working if unfinished.
