Master of Orion: Warpath!

I’m playing the 2016 remake of MASTER OF ORION. It got mixed reviews, but I don’t know why. I really enjoy it – it’s a good mix of the classic Master of Orion 1 & 2 from the 1990s, with some of the rough edges of the micromanagement sanded off.

(The less said of Master of Orion 3 from the early 2000s, alas, the better.)

This time I’m playing as the Terran Khanate, a militaristic, imperialistic version of humanity. That means I get to play as a warlike conqueror, which is a lot of fun. In this screenshot you can see my fleet blasting its way through the orbital defenses of a Gnolam planet in preparation for landing troops.

Naturally, my conquest will be firm but just. 🙂
