Mods for Master of Orion 2?

[JarlFrank]

Well, are there any? I searched my ass off in google and didn't really find anything, so I'd be glad if I got some help.

 

[JarlFrank]

So, are there any?
Lots of googling didn't turn up anything, really...
Oh whatever.

There are some for 3, but I don't remember if there are any for 2.

I never bothered getting part 3 though, as it is considered a disappointment. Is it worth getting it anyways?

 

[Frau Bishop]

No.

 

[Halenthal]

3 isn't worth getting with or without mods.

I haven't heard of any for 2, and that's kind of surprising. Depressing too.

I've never tried any of them, but:

I've been playing through with the dos version mods.

I dunno, seems like something is wrong. The AI just is not aggressive enough, but maybe it's because I am outteching them all in an extreme way.

Or maybe it's just that I just played moo 1. Really, I think moo 1 is better in most ways.

So you had any trouble to defeat the moo1 AI? I cant believe that. At least I cant remember trouble. Thats why I stopped to play moo1. moo2 provides MP btw...and the mods are mainly for MP...no real AI improvements so far....though i think about tuning up their crappy ship designs...at least the antaran ships.

Regards.

At least the AI actually attacks you in MOO 1. I am not sure if it was a mod issue or what, but I have notices in MOO 2 if you outstrip them technically they basically never attack no matter what you do.

As for multiplayer, no thanks.

I find either the people are total idiots in MP games, or else all they do is play it online and I have no chance against them.

Hotseat is also MP. I love playing MOO2 in hotseat mode. Ussualy everyone complains about others playing their turns too long but at least I got some good competition and no this

Never mind the difficulty in arranging a match with a decent set of players for an ancient turn based strategy game.

Try out some of the mods that have been made by the community for microprose's Birth of the Federation cx4 game... like Ultimate Dominion Mod 2

Maybe it's you. :wink:

Seriously, I think the community of an old TBS classic differs extremely from RTS communities, where much micro favours teenies/young twens. The chat among MOO2 players is not that leet.

You might be right here. Though I deciphered recently their ship design algorithm. I think I can improve it in the next months...I can also increase their aggressiveness btw. Stay tuned.
