noob help - this or MOO2?

January 23, 2010 12:26 AM from

I am a 4X strategy complete noob. I am wondering if Gal Civ 2 Dread Lords or MOO2 is a better/easier game to learn the basics. As of right now, I have no clue whatsoever on how to play. Thanks.

GC2 is a newer game and with the expansion it becomes more complicated than MoO2, but lots of folks fell in love with GC2 because they loved MoO2 and MoO3 was a big disappointment.

I suggest trying demos of each and start with the one you find more fun and/or easier to learn: https://www.galciv2.com/Downloads.aspx and http://download.cnet.com/Master-of-Orion/3000-7564_4-10247352.html?tag=all-titles-M-2

I would say that MOO2 is easier to understand the dynamics of, but either game is great once you reach a certain level of understanding.

I would recommend MOO2 over Galciv2 any day
