GalacticOrigins -> Great Game, need more Music (4/19/2007 6:59:21 AM)

This is a great game. I especially like that fact that Technology gets more expensive based on how many empires have that tech. It creates a 'tech rush' situation where a player has to think ahead when researching.

The economics are handled well, too. Basically, there are few colonies, and 'claimed' star systems just add to your income.

Ships, once built, can be upgraded with new technology. This is handled easily since there are few ships to mess with. (Each ship you have is rather important ... [:)])


However, is there any way to get the music to play more often? I start a new game and the music stops after a while. Then it will start again, but there are long periods with no music. The music is rather nice and definately appropriate for the current strategic situation.

I haven't tried this game, but how does it compare to the Master of Orion games (1 & 2 in particular)? 

I am still waiting for what I consider the perfect game, the diplomacy of MoO, the easy to set trade/patrol type system of Stars!! (and the great multiplayer support), as well as the custom ship building of both, and a real time combat like Homeworld.  :D 

Not that I ever expect to see it.

This game is nothing like MOO at all. You do not build an empire in this game like you would in any other 4x game. The focus here is more on the ships.

We all wait for that good space 4x. I love Stars! also. I was so looking forward to Supernova and then it just sort of died. Anyway, back to this one. First I would recommend you bop on over to Apezone and check out the demo. The version there is slightly different but will give you a good idea what the game is like. It is a great deal of fun, just do not expect MOO or Homeworld or huge sweeping real time battles. It is not like that [:)]

Oh, have you checked out Sword of the Stars? It is quite a nice space 4x game.
