yes, i understand that in moo2 production > research. i feel as though i do marginally better when i take the creative perk, even though i take pretty much the same techs everybody does.

brief aside, to praise the moo gods - small things, like having diplomacy (when not repulsive) or morale (when not unigovt) really are what make me come back to keep playing this game. are the morale benefits really worth it over uni in the long run? probably not, since unitol is apparently banned in online play.

i'd also like to survive past turn 100 too...

>don't worry about the antarans
done. good advice here. so, missile bases gogo.

we have pretty much the same early tree, although i've been using the warp start. maybe going earlier is a good idea? hmm.

and this, for that sexy tactical combat stuff. nice nice. on normal i could basically just roll everything, but the first wave/second wave missile-fu is probably required now. ahg, my brain...it has become weak and feeble from too many easymode wins. but. this is part of the game. question: so i load all the missiles on in that order when i'm building the ship, and then just fire in that order at whatever?

next question: *after* missiles become obsolete-ish, then mass drivers? i know plasmas are awesome in the late game, but what's a good basic weapon loadout for the mid-game until then? will neutrons work until then? i know it's enemy-dependent, of course, but...well, help a noob.

i also always take the elerians b/c sexy machine-elf babes are nicer to look at than psilons or darloks, but i am now coming off my *third* game tonight, in which i was 1-2'd by those cunts for another early exit.

fuck my whole life. this game is great tho. i thought MoM was the best but i am officially now getting why MoO2 is a thing. once you get a war machine up and running, fleets operational and so on...i don't know, it's just got that magic going on.

and the leaders just have too much personality also.

Inspired by the news, I actually tried the first MoO for the first time in my life this weekend when I got it from GoG. Before that I've played MoO 2 as a kid. Great fun, I kinda like the simple mechanics of the first game but then again I also like the complexicity of the second game.

What's your favourite custom race build, /vr/? I myself have been experimenting with a race that has +1 BC and can buy expensive things like battleships right away rather than building them from scratch.
