About The Game
Master of Orion invites players to explore the boundless expanses of the galaxy, speaking on the side of one of the many intelligent races that inhabit the universe. The revived Master of Orion inherits the best features of its famous predecessors, combining the traditional philosophy of 4X (Explore, Expand, Exploit and Exterminate) and the latest developments in the industry. Space battles offer gamers to join the fight for intergalactic domination, delighting with modern graphics, multi-platform gameplay and an exciting storyline.
The updated version retains the classic turn-based space strategy gameplay. But at the same time, the revived Master of Orion is very different from the original franchise – it features an improved user interface, voice acting from famous actors, a new training system and other elements that breathe new life into one of the gaming industry’s biggest legends.
New alliances and new enemies, alliances and betrayal – all this awaits the Galaxy in the first expansion for Master of Orion – Revenge of Antares. Meet the Elerians who never give up, call on the incredibly lucky race of Gnols to help, and unleash the full power of your empire to defeat the warlike Trillian.

Master of Orion (the new one) officially released with Linux support
The day has arrived space fans! Master of Orion (the new one) has blasted off out of Early Access and is now officially available.
I played a while of it a few months back in both single-player and online versus Samsai and it was a blast. It’s had a ton of content and polish additions since I last played, but even months ago it was really fun.
They have plans for post-released updates as mentioned here, so leaving Early Access is not the end for development.
I’m not sure it will be enough to tear my away from Stellaris, but games in MOO do tend to be rather a lot quicker (in comparison anyway), so MOO will probably still find a good player-base.
You can find Master of Orion on Steam, again it seems that GOG is currently missing the Linux version.
About the game
The ascendant spacefaring 4X strategy game returns! A new chapter in the epic Master of Orion saga is poised to once again capture the imaginations of millions of gamers.
Diehard fans of the first games will be ecstatic to know that this revival is being built under the watchful eyes of members from the original development team, in conjunction with NGD Studios in Buenos Aires!
Discover Master of Orion as it was always meant to be: A fully orchestrated score, interstellar warfare and exploration against the backdrop of beautifully animated far flung galaxies. Confront hostile civilizations, negotiate with mysterious aliens, share knowledge with allies and uncover this newly imagined universe. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

I love 4Xs but real-time combat is a deal breaker for me.
I love the fact that as a Linux gamer I can actually afford to be picky now.
Quoting: Expalphalog I love 4Xs but real-time combat is a deal breaker for me.

this is turn based but with real time combat for the battles. it’s not the most engaging as far as real time combat goes. I don’t remember the previous ones concentrating on that too much either. But you have the choice to do auto-combat for the battle and let the game do the battles. which I tend to do for most of the fights where I have a good or better chance to win. Only if it’s a fair or balanced fight then I will take control then.
If you’ve played the first 2 Master of Orion then this is basically a hybrid between 1 and 2 with a huge facelift.
The interface is very well done, very fluid. There’s a cutscene that is very well done for each type of planet you colonize on. the AI for the opponents seem about the same as the previous games, with a more likeness to Civ5. But technically all of the MoO games have followed the Civilization route with a lot of it’s underlying aspects like AI and tech tree. With the exception of MoO3 which went way over the top with the tech tree IMHO.
Each race has very interesting characteristics, like the Silicoid that only live on minerals and don’t need regular food. which allows them to live on much harsher planets that have very rich mineral composition (which allows for very high productivity).
You can customize your own race as well as customize the ships a bit, but not quite the same as MoO2. there is a minor bug with the game right now on this which seems to affect windows and mac as well. If you customize the loadout of weapons on a ship and apply an additional weapon of the same type that is already equipped it will cause the game to crash. the game allows you to apply multiple weapons in one slot.
to top it all off it has one of the best crew of actors voices. it’s nothing short of awesome.
I’ve been playing this game since it came out when I seen it was available for Linux. it was a no brainer for me, since I’ve been a huge fan of the first 2 games. I still have my original MoO2 CD, and still played from time to time through wine.
I have Stellaris also, but play them both for different reasons. Each are great sci-fi 4x style strategy games, but with completely different approaches. I’ve played Galactic Civ 2 and 3 when I had a windows partition. but since I no longer do, the new Master of Orion fits the bill quite nicely. it runs really great so far. there are some odd bugs still though. but these seem to be gameplay bugs effecting windows as well.

I am a huge fan of the Master of Orion series. MOO2 was my favourite, but I played them all, a lot, starting with StarLords and MOO and then the ill-fated MOO3. Somewhere along the journey I learned that Master of Magic existed, got a copy and loved it —my playtime in MOM easily equals the thousands of hours I must have put into MOO2.
I played them all in MS-DOS in its day, then in Windows95, and then in DOSBOX when I shifted to GNU/Linux. I still play MOO, MOO2 and MOM, occasionally, because I can get them to work easily with DOSBOX. I can’t play MOO3, however, which is a pity because despite the poor general result, it had some nice ideas in it.
I would definitely help fund a good, proper MOO sequel, but going back to Windows is for me a non-negotiable issue. In today’s world, a port to GNU/Linux should not be nor hard to accomplish, and as someone pointed out, the fans of the saga who are in my situation might amount to quite a lot.

+ will only buy if there’s Linux/Mac support.
