The best getting started out there.

nice video

Its been so long since I played moo1, and I always preferred moo2. How close is this to the original? Looks like a rebuild of the original with some modern QoL?

It plays almost exactly like the original in terms of actual mechanics, but with more modern QL as you say. I’ve always liked Moo1 due to the way the Tech systems works, it makes it more interesting to replay and more like a puzzle than the linear progression of Moo2. You also don’t need to micro as much in the late game which I prefer as micro for tons of huge fleets is no fun, I prefer the smooth switch to macro-strategy as your empire becomes galactic in scale. As if the Galactic Overlord is going to be nitpicking every ship in the entire empire.

Were they making a sequel to this? I was on the reddit and saw it was mentioned 2 (?) years ago, but then couldnt find anything more recent...

As I recall, RotP is still seeing active development so I don’t think there is a sequel. I’ve not heard anything concrete about one anyway.

@CairnEnjoyer thank you! Appreciate the reply. I do see development ongoing but was wondering.

Since this is just a remake of sorts for MoO 1 I doubt they will make a sequel since the initial purpose was to make something that closely models the gameplay of Master of Orion and not it’s sequel.

Ray initially planned to make a sequel but eventually gave up on these plans. However, since the game is open-source there was on-going development by me and someone else. It's a stand-alone expansion we called "Rotp Fusion". It features tons of additional options like customizable races, improved and more varied AI, more map-types etc.

@@ailst whether you're Xilmi or BrokenRegistry thank you so much, I've had hundreds of hours on this game thanks to your mod :)

So for someone with zero experience with 4K, how would you rate the AI compared to the classics? Will it probably chew you up and spit you out in normal difficulty?

I always found the AI for MoO 1 to be quite good since the game was very simple. For RotP I find the standard AI to be pretty fair and fun to play against, but there are alternative AI options for more difficulty and strategy by the AI players such as Xilmi AI

In "Rotp - Fusion", the fan-made stand-alone add-on there are more and improved AIs over what the official release features. One of them is called "Fusion AI". That's the one that should be the hardest to beat.
