MOO1 showed promise, which MOO2 delivered. For its time it was outstanding. MOO3 was long in development, and when it appeared... .. it got just about everything wrong. It is monstrously disappointing. Its user interface makes everything more complicated than its predecessors, and if you give in to the UI driving you away from getting involved with the game, well, you end up with a game you aren't engaged in - a game which is more or less playing itself, and which you are forced to simply observe. Luckily GOG.com stocks the others - get them instead, this is just dreadful
