	MOO3 Experience... Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

Hi there, I almost bought this in WH Smiths today- but didn't, thought I'd come here and read the forum first.
There seems to be some negative vibes about MOO3 here- so is it worth £20 / €30 of my money?

It depends, I'd say if you can get it for around 20 USD, and if you have the patience for the game, then its worth it. 20 euros is probably too much to pay for the game as it is.

If you have the patience to patch, update, mod, and then play long, drawn out epics then this is the game for you. (I'm in this category, you just can't rule the galaxy in an evening, a week, or a month.) You'll need to experiment to see what your PC can handle.

I'll echo Vince278's comments, especially regarding patience. You HAVE to use the patch, and then you'll almost certainly want to do some modding (someone elsewhere is working on a mod that solves the ECM/ECCM/visibility bug, btw, and I think he may just have cracked that nut).

One thing about mods, just in case you need the warning: a lot of them either aren't compatible, or work with the same files and will overwrite one another. So you may want to shop around a bit before you look at mods.

Would I pay 30 Euros for it? No. Again, shop around a little.

My last game was heavily modded and I ran into that same file overlap problem. All I did was manually edit in whatever overlapped. Its not hard but takes a little more time and patience.

ceroomaster - I haven't looked myself but I've heard its dirt cheap on Amazon.com.

Agreed, Vince. My own version is entirely manually modded, though of course I had a slight (but only slight) advantage in understanding the format.

Your understanding is better than most. Too bad you weren't able to have more input.
