Imperium One: The Hives of Xoth

 

Sponsor: Sirian
Opening Date: Monday, April 14
Duration: Four Weeks
Version: DATA PATCH with Custom Mod
Difficulty: Hard
Empire: Tachidi
Galaxy: Two-Arm Large
Star Lanes: Short, Many
Specials: Few
Timers: Off
Opponents: Ten
Victory: Any

Rules: Two short rules we're going to try.

1) No government changes. Remain in your Hive government for the duration.

2) Combat Ships (any mission/function besides Transport/Colony/Outpost) must be constructed with a minimum system engine speed of half their max potential up until engine speeds exceed 3000, at which point the minimum engine speed is set to 1500.

Rule one is aimed at the HFOG loophole, while rule two is aimed at the potential loopholes involving trading most of your system engine speed for added long range weaponry.

Here is the galaxy map and starting location:

Scoring: None.


Closing Day: Monday, May 12. Reports due on May 12 or 13.

Patching and Installation

Everyone playing Imperium One needs to upgrade their copy of MOO3 with the Data Patch. Visit this thread for complete information and to download the patch files.

If you get the patch from the official site, you need to install it manually by copying the new files to the applicable location. Instructions are included in the readme that comes with the patch. Alternatively, you can try Apolyton's patch autoinstall.


Mod Installation

The mod for Imperium One fixes a few key issues: tech pace, bugs with difficulty levels, and also the Sitrep message priorities. Colin the Gray supplied the files for the first two fixes, while Sirian did the Sitrep fix. Players need to empty their mod folder of any existing mods (they can be moved, as opposed to erased), then install the Imperium mod files for IMP1.

Download Imperium One Mod

Here is the name of the folder in which to put the mod files:

./Master of Orion3/GameDataSets/Classic_01/GameData/Common/Spreadsheets/

Once you are patched and have the mod installed, load up the game and enjoy!
