Master of Orion - The Official Strategy Guide

This fully authorized strategy guide is your indispensable tool for conquering the Master of Orion universe and shaping the future. Because there is very little "peaceful coexistence" in the relentlessly hostile deep space of the 23rd century, you'll need every advantage you can get. Great leaders know how to take advantage of valuable resources - with detailed strategies, tables, and illustrations that illuminate every aspect of the game, this guide shows you how to work smarter and faster than ruthless enemy aliens to found colonies, develop minerals and other planetary resources, produce starships, build factories and missiles, and defend against espionage and biological weapons. After all, the cold truth is that peace treaties, non-aggression pacts, and even alliances may be broken when your foe decides to renegotiate while sighting down the barrel of an Ion Cannon! And enemies abound - from the foul-smelling Darlok to those most fearsome and feathered Alkari. Everyone is out to destroy you, unless, of course, you use the powerful strategies in this book to get them first!
