	Does anybody ever lose a game of Moo3? Increase Your PM Length

When reading reviews and messages on fora I get the impression that hardly anybody ever loses a game of Moo3. Is this correct?

Because
1.) Noone likes to boast about loosing
2.) I (like many others) stop playing when its clear that we don't have a chance.

So how often do you lose or resign when it becomes a lost case? In percentages.

The reason I'd like to know is (again based on what I've read and I don't know if it's true) the game doesn't seem too challenging.

	Increase Your PM Length

I've got a 100% resign rate so far. I don't have a clue really, yet. I keep restarting because I realise there was somthing I was doing wrong for the last 30 turns. Like not spending any money on the military build queue. I think this game is like poker though. Sometimes you can get dealt a good starting hand, and then the betting is not a problem. Alexfrog's impossible win was due to a nice combination working out, for example. But then again, he is a MoO2 master.

The Orionsektor "Walkthrough" is a loosing game, for example. By Senate Victory while the human player wasn't in the senate, though.

While I haven't won any of my games so far I won't call them loosing games. I always outteched, produced and settled the KI in easy, so winning was only a matter of time when I quit those games.
Now trying at normal, the KI is a little better there, but I'm still superior in tech, production and population. Perhaps I try and start a game in hard now

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

I lost afew game of MOO and MOO2 because I make supid mistake and didnot save game often much. It you where to save your game every turn while learning you can go back to than game before things went wrong. Plus saveing game often protect against loseing your current game if power goes out or the computer reboot itself for some reason.

Save and reload - pfwarrgh !

*spits out bad taste*

If the computer crashes, then either I load the autosave, or consider that "I" died. Going back to correct mistakes. Hmm, try doing that in real life.

	Got spare money?

My first game was a loss after 220 turns. I was doing quite well, got two races kicked outta the Senate
In the end, though, someone else snagged enough votes to take the Senate when I wasn't expecting it. I finished with a power rank of 2.
In all fairness, though, this was on Easy and I started in pretty good position -- I never really had to fight a major war but was unmolested the whole game. My only space combat (which rocks, imo) was when I actively sought out someone to smack around.

I'm not in the Senate, and I think it's very likely I'll lose when one of the members wins the Presidency. And this is on Easy.

Having no option to defy the Senate is a very good reason not to buy the game until it hits the bargin bin.

You can turn the 'Win Senate Election' victory option off entirely.
