	Tachidi Preview Increase the size of your Attachments

http://moo3.quicksilver.com/cool/031502.html

Wow, the art looks so great in this game from what I've seen. Everything in the production seems to be well thought out, even down to the details in the art. The preview of the Tachidi shows that they didn't just throw a bunch of monsters out there for races. This really looks like how I would imagine an evolved sentient insectoid species to be.

The overall structure and design of MOO3 is going to make it an excellent game in itself, but the intelligence behind it all and attention to detail will propel it into the "superb" category for me I think. Keep up the great work Stormhound and team. You all are doing it right, thanks from a big MOO fan.

Looks nice!

So they were missing form Height Comparasion picture.




P.S.
Why is this forum so empty.
There was much more people here before Firaxis released 1.17f patch for Civ3.

well, you answered your own question there

i think the attention to details will really make this game interesting, it's what kept me playing SMAC so long, i'm sure MOO3 will have the same effect on me.

The new patch for civ3 requires everybody to Beta-test it.

Things will undoubtably pick up within a couple of months, just before Moo3 is released *fingers crossed*

Well, a lot of people gave up on Civ3 after the 1.17 patch, and stopped hanging here religously. I know I did. Ironically, the Firaxian stand of forum non-communication had raised more hope about the changes than it squelched. There's a lesson of some sort in there, I'm sure. Since the Civ3 fora were nothing but extended flamefests during the time before 1.17 release, a lot of people come over here when they were at Poly anyway, in order to get _some_ meaningfull reading accomplished.

I'm sure the heat will pick up substancially when the Moo3 release starts looming on the horizon. And should Stormhound or other in-the-know-people choose to post that will generate some traffic as well, I'm sure.

I don't know. I'm getting a tad uneasy over Moo3. That end of Q2 date there's been so much talk about is comin' up mighty fast, and they are still finalizing how races look, as exemplified in this thread? I dunno, but it doesn't seem all that close to being a solid, stable release to me. I'd much prefer a christmas release done right.

actually i think creating the races is one of the things you can do last, the graphics and the specific race properties aren't that important for the main game-engine to run, and you can only definitely create races if the game-engine is pretty much complete, otherwise if the engine would change, then you would also have to change all the races.

Thanks Apolex for the link.

For sure it is hard to generate some traffic in this forum next to Civ III and MoO3 Delphi, but that will change near the release with the contribution of more addicts like Velociryx and all.

Yeah there isn't much to talk about yet. It's too late for suggestions. Just waiting to see what the game is like. Then this place will probably be filled with people takling strategy.

More likely this place will be filled with petulant whining from people who feel betrayed because the game didn't meet their unreasonably lofty expectations...

Yeah I look forward to interacting a lot in this forum after the game is out. I think you're right Marcus, the volume of people here will swell the closer we get to release date. The development team has been really good at informing us all about everything, so maybe there's just less to speculate about since it's all layed out there for us. That's a good thing.
