We have a new moo3 banner running in the ad rotation, "boroughed" from gamespot

Increase Your PM Length

I just got the new Dragon magazine and there is a neat 2 page add for MOO3 in it (the last palce I expected to see an ad, but it was a nice surprise) and the add has a galazy of stars and most of the prominent (bright) stars had vs. in between them, like "this star vs. this star"

That is what the red "VS" means in the second pic.

The thing is, the add (which just came in the mail yesterday) has the red MOO3 box with the tilted square windows in it in the lower right corner, below the following text:

The wait is over. Master of Orion 3 has finally landed and it's unlike anything you've ever experienced. 16 Unique alien races vie for domination of the galaxy through diplomacy, deception, or just plain brute force. Are you good enough to rule the galaxy? Find out with the triumphant return of the most challenging strategy game in the universe. www.moo3.com

"THE FIGHT FOR THE GALAXY HAS BEGUN"

The screen shots are two: a diplo screenshot for the Cynoids and the Psilons.

Box art Support Apolyton, buy Civilization: The Boardgame

I was fairly displeased with the red box, and pretty happy when the decision to change the box art came. I think that it is unlikely that any add campaign they run will incorporate the new box art because of the lengths they have taken to keep it under wraps. I would personally like to see something more akin to the promotional poster without the deplorable postscript. "No plan survives first contact with the enemy!" Mercy They could have stopped it at "contact" and been just fine...actually more than fine...I kind of like it, and the art is...conducive to a game I will know far too little about right up until the moment of Triumph. Any way it goes lets all remember what we learned back in the day..."don't judge a book by its cover"

Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Well one good thing about red is that I will not have any trouble finding it in my stack of game boxes.
