Hi project team and MoO community,

While i'm playing to Master of Orion - Conquer the stars early access, I remember my hundreds hours playing to Master of Orion 1 which was my prefered one of the series so far ;-) Even when new games like Sin of Empire and Endless space comes several decad after ...

That's the reason why, I think it could be a quick wins to add (without to much efforts I guess) a new level of gameplay which could be simply based on Master of Orion 1.

This should simply introduce few rules of gameplay that make the spirit and the root of MoO1 for my point of view, let me explains :

- the research tree should not be visible at 100%, only next possible research could be seen because you should never know in advance what could be found at the end... you expect but not more ;-) then you have to adapt your strategy...

- the research tree should be not always the same (availables researchs randomely set for each game). Then at each game, research available for next research should not 100% the same... yeah because research is research you not always found ... at the end it will have impact for exemple on ship customization because you're not always have this black hole generator or this teleport device.... ship set are not always the same game after game...

- the research items should only one at a time not contains 2 or 3 items for one research

- the research tree when it ends allow also 10 miniaturization level of research

- would be nice to add research like barren, tundra, icy, volcanic... dedicated colonization research in order to allow or not galactic expansion on those planets (ie randomize tech tree)

- would be nice to add specific research to terraform this or this kind of world (same as for colonization but for terraforming in a better enviroment)

What do you think about it ? sound's great for all of them that played the first game ;-)

Should be fun ;-)

Many thanks for your time and I hope positive feedback even for next DLC... ;-)

See you.

Actually sounds nice. 

A randomized techtree, I think I'd like that!

Yeah, only if you activate MoO1 gameplay mode ;-)

Then at each game you have to adapt ;-)
