Fun But Frustrating
I used to play Master of Orion 2 all the time, but it's perhaps one of those games that I remember more fondly than I should. It does do a lot of things very, very right, with rich diplomacy options, and tons to do. However, it requires micro-management at pretty much every level, which means that playing a competitive empire with a well-maintained fleet is a huge amount of effort, but on the other hand playing a small, focused empire rarely works unless you get just the right (randomly selected) leaders with the bonuses you need. On Average difficulty this is a fun game, and definitely one of the defining turn-based strategy games, but higher difficulties tend to be less challenging and more just an exercise in frustration, and later game empire management can feel more like a tedious job than a game. Fortunately the game pacing is fast, IMO too fast, as your ships are often outdated the turn after they are built, however this means that if you play to win as fast as possible then you can have a blast and waste a lot less of your time on the AI which quite simply cheats to an insane degree (far more than necessary to remain challenging). Unfortunately I never tried MOO 1, and perhaps I should, but graphically it has aged far worse than MOO 2, which has made it very difficult to get into.
Hilft dir das weiter?
