Master of Orion III (MoO3, MoOIII) is the third computer game in the Master of Orion series. MoO3 was developed by Quicksilver Software and published by Infogrames in February 25, 2003.
It is notable for its remarkably open development, whereby fans could vote on certain features and offer suggestions to designers, themselves mostly fans of the first two games.
Gameplay[edit | edit source]
Master of Orion III is a turn-based strategy game with the goal of rulership of the galaxy. During each turn, the player makes all the decisions that will be performed during that turn, including exploration, colonization, diplomacy, trade, voting in the Senate, technological research, espionage, and the design, construction, and combat deployment of their space fleet. The player can leave most of those decisions (apart from spy production and ship design) for his/her planetary governors to handle as they see fit, or can make changes here and there.
