I have been playing MoO2 since it first came out and I still love the game. That said, I am always looking for something more challenging. I just finished a game playing the ICE mod and I find that when one of the computer opponents is repulsive Trilarians then it is going to be a tough one. They are hands down the toughest race to beat. They typically exceed in every category (population, buildings, tech, fleet) and I have to pull out every trick in the book to beat them. There used to be a Windows version which, although buggy, had a cool detail that made the alient races like you less as you grew in power. You'd start off with plenty of friends but it would become harder and harder to maintain good relationships if it looked like you might become a threat. Sadly, the DOS version never adapted that feature as far as I know. Has anyone found something harder than the ICE mod?

Hey folks. I want to give modding a go on this. I've done some modding on other games, but this structure is a little different. Any tutorial vids or instructions or something similar that someone would recommend? I was thinking AssetStudio, but it seems most of the asset files don't want to load. Is there another editor that would be better? Thanks in advance.

Is there any reason there's two orbital defense weapons named "Artemis", were they both drawing from a concept that existed previously? Did moo2 devs get the name from LOGH?
