I understand your position..yep. lots of solo playrs out there.i agree

well MM got back to me today and said that they are coming out with patch for that
early next year, good enough for me..(gives me time to learn game better ..grin)

thats all i needed to know was that they were going to try.


PS. smaller games with 4 or so players, maybe more..could be played 2-4 hours on weekends (or hell, 10 hour game if my child is entertained..grin)

hope to play some TCP/IP games when they do bring it out...

Socialist, that's great news! Looking forward to play a TCP/IP game or two.

Only in every ladies fantasy Comar.

I meant the beta testers have been selected and there are currently no openings.

We have all been beta-testers, if you haven't noticed.

Bah. You clearly don't play that many
computer games. SEIV is far more "finished"
than many games which are released to the
market and then patched at most ONCE. This
is a very good game and quite stable by
the standards of such things.

This is a very high quality production.

BTW, if y'all want to see a turn-based game that plays over a LAN via TCP/IP, look at www.freeciv.org. It's a Version of Civilization, developed for Linux, that does exactly what Socialist (and a few others) have been looking for. I'm not certain how SE4 combat would fit into the model (imagine waiting for someone to finish a tactical combat involving 30-40 ships and 100 fighters on a side!).

While I'm thinking about it, what about porting SE4 to other OS's? Run SE4 on a Mac? or a Linux box? OS/2? Any other Favorites?

Just some things to think about.

Long live the Moebius Consortium!!!!

Courageous, you are a blind fool. You speak without knowledge, and therefore without wisdom. Your comment on my experience on playing games is so foolish as to require no explanation. Now look again at the list of fixes in the first post of this thread. Go ahead, we'll wait.........
Very good. I would not be surprised if this was the first time you looked. Those are *fixes*, my ignorant friend, fixes. Things put into the game which did not work. Look through the postings on this board. The AI is a joke. Inconsistent. The experienced Modd'ers have said more than once that all the different AI respond the same, regardless of whether they are serene or Bloodthirsty. But you probably never read those threads, either, did you? Please go back to your regularly scheduled blissful ignorance and quit drooling on your keyboard.
