Master of Orion IV

Worked for me at £14 installing on Steam now. Thanks for the tip Grim.

Yeah after seeing this I am never buying early access games or paying full price for a newly released game again. Every time I do I see something like this where you can get the game half price. So done with being ripped off.

Uh, you can hardly blame the developer for this.  They're setting their own price on Steam; Kinguin is a key reseller and totally beyond the control of the developer.  Your anger is misplaced.

Yeah.  I fail to see how Tanaka (or anyone else) was ripped off, just because he or she could have bought a game elsewhere for less money.

The Starlanes I can live with but all these devs turning away from turn based combat is a bit much. I think because that requires far better A.I. programming when an RTS scenerio is relatively easy to pull off--makes me think they are lazy. Sometimes I like the RTS angle--was good in games like Sins of a Solar Empire--but MOO is turn based at it's root---so much so it stops being a MOO game. But we will wait and see.

Let me rephrase. I am tired of being a dumbass and falling for early access or full price games when there are clearly better options now. Half price for me from now on.

I have less problems with the RTS battles than with the starlanes. That being said, i find the system in MOO4 a lot less restrictive than the one in Endless Space. If they manage to improve the AI, the Diplomacy and the building queues, i may end playing the game a lot more than i thougth.

Nice to see actually making changes on feedback...exactly how early access can be beneficial in some situations.

Welcome to my world Tanaka....I realized this a long while back and stopped buying day-one releases at full price. But it's more than just price. Waiting also allows me to read the aar's, gameplay videos, reviews and initial impressions on these forums....they have often made me realize it's a game I don't want, or one I wasn't interested in becomes enticing.

[ghostryder]

That change log really doesn't list any meanful changes. It's mostly, balance, tweaks and GUI redos. Although a functioning A.I. would be nice.

[Huw the Poo]

It isn't a changelog; it's an idea of what they're looking at based on feedback.

Yep I am definitely learning and changing my ways. And speaking of discounts vs full price:

EA Patch 2 was released today and its a good one. Three new races available and they added some control options for ships in battle, improved the AI, etc. This is shaping up to be a really good game. I'm enjoying it.

But can I rename planets or stars yet?  :(
