The Orion Nebula

Hello there.

Out of interest, how much is Difficult Choices Mod used online vs. standard 1.40? The mod seems far more balanced and interesting than the vanilla MoOII (although vanilla obviously allows for great strategic depth and tactical playing as well), but for example the Strategy-forum seems to contain discussion on basically only the standard 1.40 strategies and tactics.

Is it preferred due to the relative obscurity of the mod or for some totally unrelated reasons? Or is the image I've gotten wrong and vanilla is not preferred at all? Also, what would be a good place to find discussion and data DC strategy and tactics?

Thanks,
Eldariel

People are lazy to discuss strategies here, but are willing to play
Come to the IRC (irc.quakenet.org/moo2) and test your skills
As a starting point I'd advise to read the following strategy guide:

As for DC/VDC mods, they are both popular and played quite often. However they are not only called difficult choice(s) but are in fact more difficult compared to original moo. And personally I wouldn't advise a new player to start learning the game from the mods.
