and any fan of Master of Orion should check out also the project M.O.R.E. on kickstarter
I went to http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/144 ... ategy-game and I liked what I saw and have pledged, the project has met two stretch goals including day 1 Mac and Linux support (GreatEmerald). If you were a fan of MOO 1 and 2 you might want to check it out.
