Is this game any good? I've been looking at it since it came out. I love RTS, and miss the old days of Tib Sub and Tib Wars.

Remastered does not use the original, homeworld 1 physics based projectile system. Its RNG chance to hit and damage so it does not play exactly the same and more like your usual RTS.

You can Skip Moo1. It was very good for its time, but now tamagochi from the dollar store have more processing power that the PC it was designed for.

Moo2 is a classic that aged quite nicely. Like Alpha Centauri it need to be played by any 4X lover.

Moo3 is a special case. Some people like it, some people cant stand it. One of the complaint about Moo2 was that you had to micromanage nearly everything, one planet or fleet at a time, so past a certain point (say, 20+ systems) the game turned into a chore, making large map game boring past the first half.

They adressed this in Moo3, but went overboard, allowing you to automate nearly everything and making the scale so large that you need to use the automated system to get anywhere. You dont go to a shipyard and say "produce this ship model this turn", you instead go to your system governor, set priority to ship production via rules and look as all the shipyards in the sector begin spewing dozens of fighters that instantly set ahead to the rally point you designed. Some people want that in a 4X, other people complained the game could "play itself" once you put in a few basic rules and did not like it.

I did not have the time to play Moo4 yet.

Correction. Homeworld remastered got a large patch that changed both games to use the original homeworld 1 style shooting physics. It is good. Really good.

On that note, do not get the Complex mod as the creator is an underhanded jack wagon who deserves to be beaten. He would often go around to different mod makers forums and brag about Complex while telling everyone how poo poo their mods are. And then he would steal a lot of their assets and any code he needed to improve his own stuff.

He couldnt Ryan Archer anything once he was hired by gearbox which is why complex sucks rear end now. And on top of it, he threatened his fans with getting rid of everything relating to the mod if they didnt give him $2000 a month via patreon.

Nah it's a steam bug. My elite says I have like 850 hours played or something and my best ship is a diamondback explorer. If you leave the elite launcher up in the background it counts as running, I used to leave the launcher up and sleep my computer and have 24 hours of time added. He's probably played a couple days worth of elite total.
