==Master of Orion II - request for comments==
==Master of Orion II - request for comments==
I've done quite a lot (? 60% - 70%) of [[ Master of Orion II |  Master of Orion II]] and would appreciate comments. Besides the usual aspects, I'd like to know whether this is the kind of thing StrategyWiki is interested in - I've got the impression from various discussions that StrategyWiki may be more interested in console games, FPSs and RPGs.

::I'm happy to use tables where appropriate (see for example [[ Master of Orion II/List of Colony Leaders]]). But I suspect they won't work so well for lists of ''TA'' units because the comments vary so much in length (especially for the Commanders!).
