It might be just a remake of MoO2, but it's a damn fun one. And a pretty interesting speedrun albeit a little plodding in the beginning.

All you need is battleship tech to take out the early opponents and use Mind Control on planets. I soup up my battleships a bit with Pulson missile tech to make the late game a bit safer. All strats pulled directly from MoO2 with some tweaks on the starting settings.

Mechanics are quite a bit different due to the warp points, but that's what makes it interesting!
