| We cannot assume that people have the instruction manual (they may have lost it, for example, and are coming to us for help), and the guide would not be complete without such basic information.

| Hm, I had thought we had resolved this. I'll respond in depth tomorrow or when I'm feeling better (I had my Wisdom teeth pulled this morning). I apologize for my incompetency. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 01:26, 22 February 2008 (CST)

| :Alright - I've subpaged the installation instructions, you can delete the duplicate content and subpage as you wish. Re-organization is also up to you, depending on what you wish to do within the bounds of our standards. --{{User:Notmyhandle/Sig}} 21:15, 22 February 2008 (CST)

| The ToC seems to have gotten rather large (and it's currently broken, you're trying to place 5 columns within a 4 column divider). I think it's about time we got back into the discussions about layout. Looking through the way you've set it up, and the content you have in various pages, here are my recommendations:
| |
| * Rename '''Strategy Guide''' to '''Walkthrough'''. The whole "guide" ''is'' the strategy guide, that's just a very specific section of it. Victory conditions, scoring, and perhaps some pointers to other useful sections would be perfect for that page. Might even be worth merging in the Game Overview stuff.
| |
| * Merge the rest of '''Game Overview''' into the '''Getting Started''' section. Either way both those pages need to be redone.
| |
| * Getting back to the ToC, not everything belongs under the '''Walkthrough''' section. From the looks of the toc right now, it seems that '''Economy''', '''Technology''', and '''Diplomacy''' all seem like good headers beside the walkthrough section.
| |
| * The final section you have right now under '''Planning and winning wars''' seems like the perfect set of topics for the '''Walkthrough''' section.

| == Emulators ==
| |
|
| |
| As I said (although briefly) in the deletion summary, that wasn't an appropriate place for a description of an emulator. I've moved some of the content from the article to the [[DOSBox]] article itself, which is where I think it should be, since we will never have many articles on different emulators, and so there's little need – especially at the moment – to put things such as what you wrote in a common place. --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 10:22, 1 March 2008 (CST)

|
| |
| : We do have a [[:Category:Emulators]], so I've redirected the [[Emulator]] and [[Emulators]] link to the category. You are free to add whatever descriptions you'd like to that page. [[User:Procyon|Procyon]] ([[User talk:Procyon|Talk]]) 13:03, 1 March 2008 (CST)

| ::Actually, I hadn't quite expected you to write so much. But I suppose it's fine. I would trim it back a bit, since emulation isn't precisely in the scope of SW, but more of a tangential subject. I would also point to the Wikipedia article for any one who wants to find out more information if they are truly curious. But maybe I'm being too nitpicky. My comments aside, nicely written article.

| == We're doing some upgrades today ==
| |
|
| |
| Hey, I just wanted to give you advance notice since I was watching the recent changes and saw you editing. I'll be making a bunch of random patches here and there to StrategyWiki, so it'd be good to back up your work (perhaps to the clipboard) before submitting it in case the event it gets lost. Sorry if it causes any trouble! <span style="border: 1px solid #888; padding: 1px">'''[[User:Echelon|echelon]]<sub>[[User_talk:Echelon|talk]]</sub>'''</span> 13:58, 5 March 2008 (CST)

| == MOO2 ==
| |
|
| |
| Looks good so far to me. I'd agree with Prod's request to rename Walkthrough -> Technology tree and Strategy guide -> Walkthrough, which should be done sometime soon, but I can't really fault the rest. :-) --[[User:DrBob|DrBob]] ([[User_talk:DrBob|talk]]) 11:44, 22 April 2008 (CDT)

| == Online MOO II Community ==
| |
|
| |
| Pilcha,
| |
|
| |
| I have been playing MOO II online since 1997. I am essentially the grandfather of the online MOO II community. I am always looking for players who might join us online. A new player showed me the Wiki on MOO II and when I checked the revision history, it looks like it was largely written by you.
| |
|
| |
| I would love to invite you to come and play with us online. You can find as at:

| |
|
| |
| This actually takes you to a Quakenet IRC channel for MOO II.
| |
|
| |
| Also, you might be interested in the Online Strategy Guide written for our community:

| |
| For the online community, this is the Bible.

|
| |
| However, we have moved on from 1.31. First we reprogrammed the game to eliminate most of the bugs. That took us up to 1.4b23. You can find this patch at:

| |
|
| |
| Then we started to modify the tech tree and race pick costs to produce a much more balanced game. The problem with 1.3 was that there were only a few race combinations that were really viable in competitive play. So we created a Mod called VDC (Very Difficult Choice) that makes hundreds of race combinations viable. This mod is like MOO II on steroids...it's an awful lot of fun to try all those new race pick combinations. No one who has ever played VDC wants to go back to regular MOO. You can try VDC at:
