Master Of Orion 3 ups the stakes on its predecessors by giving players their most challenging role ever. No longer representative of just petty interplanetary dictators, in Master Of Orion 3 players represent the controlling power behind an entire galactic civilisation; the dictators, presidents, councillors and overlords that come and go are merely a player’s pawns. One must use these governments and their representatives to secure the destiny of their civilisation, to manipulate its policies of freedom and oppression in both foreign and domestic arena.
