	Help! MOO3 is taking over my life! Support Apolyton, buy Civilization III: Complete

No! It's happening... I have played for 3 hours without even noticing! Too much to do... too much to look at...

Help! I sense I won't be sleeping tonight! Too addictive... too involving! Arrrrrrrrrrgh....

This is based on the first few hours - my opinion may change as I get deeper - but I think this may be the most addictive game I've played since Civilization II.

Good-bye productivity.

(Disclaimer: I haven't gotten THAT deep yet - but judging by the way a few hours disappeared without notice...)

Thanks, Jonah, for dropping by and giving us these little tidbits. They really do make my day. Especially the alt-tab trick.

Also nice to hear both you and Gabe from PA saying the same sort of thing - you start playing, and the time flies by.

I dunno, the bragging about how he's already got the game is really starting to get on my nerves. Granted, he's more of a font of info than those jerks over at QS/IG, but still...it seems like he's degenerated into a bragging phase...

How big of a game is it, install-wise?

We talking NWN big, Max Payne big...or Civ III size?

Never fear, your help has arrived. Just overnight the game to my house and I will take on the horrible responsibility of playing MOO3 so that you can get back to whatever it is you were doing before this. Really, it's no big deal... I'm happy to help!

Cool, thanks Jonah!

Jonah seemed to think it may be out this week. Maybe IG will have some mercy on us and release it earlier than expected.

It could very be out by next week - or even by Friday. They already have printed manuals and production CDs. Doesn't take much more than that.

Margaret Thatcher reputedly slept for less than 4 hours a night. A would-be dictator of the known universe must expect to get by on no more than 2 if he wishes to achieve total domination!

Yeah, but does anyone want to look like HER? Ick.

Furthermore, she wasn't exactly the most successful - I haven't seen one new British colony, and part of the the British empire gained autonomy during her tenure.

Giant wuss, she was. Couldn't even handle a Nommo.

The only slight problem I have is that sometimes I feel the game is playing without me. Sometimes a tad too automated.

I think that the big decisions, the ones you make, should have a big impact....while it micros the small ones for you.

The thing I am really learning how to do is manage taxation; military spending is VERY KEY in this game. If you expand too quickly, you'll divert too many build points from defense into colony ships, etc.

This is the first truly OPERATIC game I've played in a loooooooong while. It's more like Master of Orion 1 crossed with Europa Universalis.

Jonah-

First, thanks for the feedback.

Second, have you got the strategy guide and if so, has it been helpful in any way?

Third, what's a "life?" Is that anything like the "wife" creature that's in the next room wondering whatinhell she got herself into? I've got one of those too, you see.

Perhaps true, Kalbear, but she sure handed some Argies their butts in a handbasket...

Sounds like the game I've been hoping for all the time.
