AD3000 - Orion Master

Best old school game app ever

Could use some love on the ship building to make easier. Great tribute to MOO!

Generally this is a fairly good mobile version of Master of Orion. It plays basically the same so far as the map, resource management, the techs and tech game, diplomacy and ship design and how the races play. Where it lacks is there is no tactical ship combat and battles appear to be decided in a simulation where you get the basics, how many ships participated and who won which is ok but fails for several reasons. #1) you can’t see how your ship designs played against the AI so adjusting for a different outcome is almost a guessing game #2) it almost seems as if the winner is the one who brings the most ships to the table regardless of tech or design and it appears as if the winning side doesn’t sustain any losses? As ship combat decides much of the end result I had to delete this game as it left me frustrated. Mind you I just started back playing MOO prior to getting this so I have a good feel for how ship combat plays out
