The Game
Master of Orion is one of the best strategy games ever released by MicroProse.
With your fleet at your command, you'll combat enemy armadas with an varied array of weapons. Pursue delicate trade negotiations with alien races. Send spies to steal technology and sabotage enemy facilities. And compete with your enemies as you struggle to inhabit or conquer distant planets. Planets for which you dictate productivity, defense, and population capacity.
Starting with a single planet, you'll develop resources and design ships for your alien population to colonize nearby stars. As you obtain new technology and equip your ships with more ordnance, you'll build a powerful fleet of spaceships from small shuttles to gargantuan planet-smashing dreadnaughts.
Having complete control over all economic, social, political, technological and military decisions, players are in charge of a race and the quest to dominate the galaxy. Critical decisions must be made correctly in order to ensure the survival of your race. It will be difficult. Other races will compete with your for the same living space. Each of the ten alien races has special skills and capabilities that have to be carefully considered. For example, one race may be skilled at diplomacy, another may have greater technological capabilities, and still another may possess a strong military. War is not always the answer.
Take these factors into consideration when determining your strategy and remember that you can battle, trade and negotiate with each group. Deciding which to do, time and time again, may someday make you the Master of Orion.
