Finally the time to dethrone Master of Orion 2 will come.

We don't know how to thank you... If we have more time now we could named you all.

      Ah, thanks. I was a little alarmed when Amazon gave him all the money. Usually the notes on the payment delivered emails from successful Kickstarters denote them as going to something named after the project.

      Congratulations! Really looking forward to it. Would be awesome if you still might be able to squeeze in the single player campaign somehow..we came so close to that 100K mark ;-)

      It has been a very nice run!
      A lot of people pledged more than initially intended... So go ahead and spend the money well; produce a great game, a game which will make history! I want M.O.R.E. to be called not a MOO2-clone, but something way better, something that will become M.O.R.E. classic! :)

      Creator Omnifarious on October 28, 2012

      Yes, I'm all curious as to what the final total is with Kickstarter + PayPal. I realize of course that some of the Kickstarter donations may disappear as payment processing doesn't go through. I hope it's not many.

      This project doesn't have a paypal component?

      Belgian here too :)

      But wait... that was not why i was going to leave a comment :p

      I am very happy with the way this kickstarter has gone, very happy with the updates, the information and the tone and character of your communications with us.
      It's very obvious you have a passion for the game, which I think all backers share.

      As a bonus, you wish world peace and exploring outer space in harmony with each other (and with possible extraterrestrials of course).
      That to me means a lot too: it's times of great emotion when thoughts like this are thought, and it's important: yes it's possible! yes let's do it! yes together we can perform miracles :)

      and yes, let's make and play M.O.R.E.!

      Thanks!!
