Oh sorry, it's Master of Orion 2.  Old DOS game, on GOG.
Don't get MoO3, it's awful.  MoO4 (the relatively new one) might be cool - the voice actors are good, at least.
Though I'm pretty happy with MoO1 (earlier but different), MoO2, and Master of Magic (Age of Wonders 1/2 except less advanced but somehow less grindy).
Age of Wonders 2 is pretty dang good actually, and even looks good too.

No seriously I gave MoO3 a really strong try recently, and it was just *bad*.  Everything it says about "You're the administrator - you don't have to care about the micro!" SEEMS true based on the controls, but...  it isn't actually true.  You have to micro, more than ever, but the controls make it harder to do so.
Such a shame...  It could have been a new genre of macro-strategy, like it promised.

The new one does look solid but all the reviews got the same issue, the ai's bad. Seems fixable, but id only buy it on sale.

Master of Magic (Age of Wonders 1/2 except less advanced but somehow less grindy).

Did you seriously just compare Master of Magic to being like Age of Wonders?

[Rolan7]

Uh yeah because Age of Wonders is a clear spiritual sequel and improves upon MoM in many ways.
Especially in 2 (1 is awkward).
Fite me friendo

Got your fite right here.

Also, you have it backwards, AoW is like MoM. You don't normally put the successor second when you make a comparison like that.

What kind of fight is that? The guy only has two fingers on each hand!

Crab battle for the century I guess.

[JimboM12]

Nerd fight, nerd fight, nerd fight.

If you saw my post in the death thread on how I couldn't beat Robin, I did.

Now I just need to figure out how if I can do that again on Hard.

Applause.

Any change to the setup, or did you brute force it?

[SOLDIER First]

Managed to actually run the game (a feat in itself, considering I don't meet the minimum requirements), get to the High Wall, get summoned, defeat an invader, and coop for about ten minutes before my framerate dropped so low the game booted me from online play. Farewell, Nyx the Sly and Queen An... Ana... Queen Something. I will look back upon our brief adventures with fondness.

Smash Brothers Project M. Against my tournament skill level friend.

Wario (me) vs Marth (his main)

I just saw the code man. He tried his hardest, but for whatever reason, in that match, I could just read his every movement. Spiked him 2 times with Wario's crazy ground pound, launched him off the side once with my side special (Wario's "GOOO" in PM), and psyched him out, got him to miss the ledge once.

Meanwhile, he spiked me with Marth's dair once, and baited me into suicide with Wario's ground pound twice. I think I may slightly overuse that ground pound.

He immediately went right back to trashing me, but goddamn, that felt satisfying.

A single day's trading put my money from around 26-27k to over 90k. Most of it came from selling nails, with a significant contribution from bricks.

Land of Lords. I'd been neglecting my domain's finances and trading, so salable goods had been kinda piling up. Oddly, I have a ton(actually 1000 tons) of high quality limestone on the market that nobody is touching.

I put Takumi at the front, having him take out the Axeman, put Selena within Robin's attack range, and tried to keep room for Lissa and Beruka to jump in if needed. Takumi dropped to single-digit hitpoints from the mage attacks, but I was able to keep him out of harm's way so he turned out fine. Selena's high Resistance (if that's what Res is short for) allowed her to take minimal damage from both Robin and the other mages, and her weapon advantage was able to defeat Robin within less than two turns.

I can't actually quite remember, but I know using Lissa's heal on several occasions within the battle, and Beruka took down one of the spearmen before he could attack (and one-shot) Selena.

[Sirus]

That is indeed what Res stands for.

Anyway, congrats! That mission is a pain if you can't properly lure the bad guys in.

An older own, but I uploaded the footage recently so I might as well plug it. :p

I squashed Lady Maria like a friggin' bug. Not bad considering she's the next-to-last boss of the Old Hunters DLC.

Bloodborne.
