A long-running multiplayer-oriented mod for MOO2 by People. The name stands for Very Difficult Choice, meaning that every choice (e.g. in tech tree) matters as opposed to the original game where certain options were useless. The mod is extensively balanced for multiplayer and has a dedicated community. The commonly cited downsides are:
-
The game is modified so heavily that it may well be a different game with MOO2 graphics.
-
The mod doesn’t take AI into account, AI is generally stupified by the modified game, so single player mode is all but unplayble.
So if you come looking for nostalgic MOO2 experience, this is probably not for you.
