Three new races stand against an ancient threat.



<span class="bold">Revenge of Antares Race Pack</span>, a new DLC for the massive 4X strategy game, offering three new playable races ready to stand against Antares, is now available for Windows and Mac, DRM-free on GOG.com.

No matter how much you expand your galactic empire, there are always going to be surprises lurking behind an unexplored corner. Like the aquatic Trilarian, who value peace above all else, but are prepared to stand their ground, when the situation calls for hostilities. Or the lucky Gnolams, who excel at trading and leading extravagant lives, steeped in luxury and intrigue. And what about the xenophobic Elerians, who offer a new gameplay perspective due to their persistence in preserving their cultural purity against the other races?

Master of Orion has also just received a free expansion featuring the enigmatic and war-thirsty Antarans. Players will have the option to recruit new leaders, while doing battle with these genetically engineered foes, whose existence is deeply rooted in the series' lore.



Meet three new alien races as you explore the <span class="bold">Revenge of Antares Race Pack</span>, DRM-free on GOG.com.
<span class="bold">Master of Orion</span> is now 50% off until December 11, 10:59 PM UTC.

JMayer70: Ok ,some has been in a free update - that's all well and good!

As for "blind rage", maybe you've spent too much time on Antares breathing it's Nitrous Oxide atmosphere? You really must be a sensistive flower to think that post a "blind rage". Or are you just saying it for trolldom's, or fanboidom's sake? Whatever, I could *really* show you the true meaning of "blind rage"..... but that would also mean sinking to your average troll's level. So no dice there matey!

As for GalCiv3 - yes that turd does deserves "blind rage". Plenty of that on Steam's review pages, if not also here on GOG, maybe one of them is mine under my Steam acc pseudonym..... and as for GalCiv3's excessive DLC policy, well, makes MoO seem quite kosha in comparison. Still they do all often come under a good sale simultaneously.

The undisputed kings of DLC though, Flight Sim X and DCS World on Steam..... Jesus. H. Christ. Full value of all DLCs comes to nearly £10k! Even with all those applied, they'd still be a pile of clart!

What's the obession with Wierd Al Yankovic around here about?

PS/ I may have been seeing things, but on the Steam version of this new MoO, I swear I saw that the three new races and the Antarean bits, were in FOUR SEPARATE DLCs also all £7.99 E.A.C.H..... ie £31.96 total. Now that *does* need a "blind rage" if I saw it right!

anothername: No, I actually honestly think this DLC/addon got on your bad side you you got honestly riled up about it without trolldom/fanboyish or other ulterior intentions; and that went in such strong worded faishon that I could hardly imagine it even gatting nastier which games which in comparishon far more worse DLC policys (Stardock would have sold each race separately, the antarans and the leaders also. OR would have sold all as a 25 bucks expansion pack). I really only wanted to read a review to that for pure sadistic entertainment to see how much more you would crank it up :D
Absolutely - Stardock would realease even pause mode for another £15, NVM each race.
I can confirm I was seeing things on Steam. The same MoO DLC is also 7.99 there, and is identical to GOG's - the base game is more expensive on Steam however..

Actually that was a bit of weirdness, for lack of a better word, with how the Race Pack was advertised because if you clicked on any of those races it would take you to a page where you could buy all three :)

I was seeing things I guess. GOG's deal with MoO is still better than Steam's - even with the DLC being identically priced. And just what DRMs have Steam allowed the devs to get away with? I'm sure I saw some *really* evil pieces of DRM at work!

adaliabooks: If you turn off auto updating you should be able to roll back to previous versions. Not sure it will recover the saves though, unless they have just become incompatible.
The saves are still there, they are just filtered out because they are incompatible. Galaxy does not give me the option to choose a specific game version, even with automatic updates disabled. It only shows the update settings, useless language settings and DLC settings that change nothing in the savegame compatability.

Maybe just depends on the game then... Divinity OS lets me do it but Halcyon 6 doesn't. I assumed it was a global feature with Galaxy.

Rollback is available and well - could you post screen of your Orion settings page in Galaxy?
