awesome glad to finally see an LP of the first game. I was one of the people who overlooked MOO1 back in the day but spent a ton of time playing MOO2. I only played MOO1 for the first time about 2 years ago and was very impressed, I can see why people consider it a classic superior to the sequel. The game is deceptively simple to learn but stuff like the randomized tech tree makes every playthrough feel unique. One of the things I like most about MOO1 compared to just about every other 4x game is how fast the endgame goes once you finally are in a superior position. After playing it for a while I realized so much time you spend in games like Civ 4 is just mopping up once the player is in a winning position.

Sulla wrote a great article that does a great job explaining what makes MOO1 so good and unique from anything else that came after it, including the sequel: http://www.sullla.com/MOO/mooeditorial.html Anyone who is a fan of MOO2 or 4x games in general who hasnt given MOO1 a chance yet is really missing out.

Oh and one more thing i would really like to see is an iOS/android port, I think the game interface would work great with touch controls.
