Master of Orion [Steam, GOG, Official Site] was somewhat eclipsed by Stellaris for me, but it has come back with a vengeance today with the release of a major patch and a race pack DLC.
Here's a trailer:
The DLC includes three races: Elerian, Gnolam and Trilarian.
The new patch is huge though and it features something Master of Orion 2 fans may have been missing—the Antarans!
Not only does it include the non-playable warlike race the Antarans, it also includes:
- Leaders and Governors
- Minor Civilizations
- Ship profiles for Tactical Battles
- A complete revamp to Espionage
- Support for Mods in Multiplayer
Sounds like Master of Orion is going to be well worth taking another look at soon, as Stellaris has been feeling too empty for me.

I bought the game in one of the more recent Steam sales. Can't say I am impressed, because it crashes when trying to load it 100% of the time.
Maybe they'll fix it. One day.

I bought it a while back and did not enjoy it so I refunded it. It just did not feel very MOO'Y to me. Maybe this winter sale I will pick it up again to see if ic has gotten better. The new Stellaris patch that will come out soon should improve things.

Ha, I haven't had time to play this or Stellaris yet. MOO 2 was fantastic though, I think I have it on GoG.

Having to pay for the new races is a pretty scummy move IMO. This should have been included in the full game at release, or added in the patch.
I bought the game in alpha as soon as it was available, but won't buy from them again.
