   Seriously, this guide is pretty good.It may not have things it promised (*cough*mp*cough*),but it is a pretty useful game guide when it gets down to it. If you were havingtrouble with the game,this is a must.

   If the in-game help is as good as Civ3's Civilopedia + Scenario Editor then this book will be completely useless for anything but newbie strategies. I was overall dissapointed. I was looking for reference tables (if the game should lack it), formulas and algorithms for the economics and combat (Orion Secotor has theem but they are outdated - published the IFPs were removed).. The best part of the book for me was the race overviews and that they have been ranked in general difficulty. Not a bad as RollerCoaster Tycoon's prima guide (glorified manual), and not as good as SimCity 4's prima guide (totally rocks).

   honestly, I have no idea what's in this book, however, I do know that MOO3 is going to be a ridiculous game; and a stratagy guide to explain it all will be great. the stratagy guides for the other games were top quality, and i expect the same of this one.
