 |  Well, if it's about ground combat...
 
Hmm. I guess you could also make a map where the provinces are planets, and have oceans be space... er, hmm, ya, maybe you could!

 Make it mostly tiny islands, some with small secondary provinces/moons connected to them.   Maybe some hot, hostile star provinces.

				 Re: SEV Recommend? 
 At this point Dom3 has the better AI and is a really good game to play.  However, SE V offers impressive 3d type space combat, and loads of depth.

 I'd recommend SE4 over both of them, hands down. |

				 Re: SEV Recommend? 
 What Fyron said; SEIV uber alles at the moment. 
Here's a question, can anyone make an SEIV mod for SEV?   |

				 Re: SEV Recommend? 
 I just ordered SEV. Can't find a strategy guide, and now I find this thread...
 Imperator Fyron, SJ, Atrocities, PvK, old timers all, are not hot about it????
 
 I hope the Balance MOD makes it likeable.
 
 Poor AI: Damn, I don't have time for PBW.
 
 Any suggestions?

				 Re: SEV Recommend? 
 SE5 adds some great new gameplay features to the series, in theory. In practice, the UI and AI and bug-lessness haven't caught up, so I'm waiting for lots of patch improvements before I try to really get into it. Meanwhile, I'm hoping it's a nice preview of things that will work well in future. 
My guess is I will start wanting to play SE5 in about a year, assuming patches fix the UI, AI and other problems that can't be modded at Malfador's usual industrious rate. It also seems like very little effort was made to balance the stock techs (they seem far less balanced than SE4 even), so I expect a balancing mod will also always be wanted for SE5, but thankfully that task is already in capable fan hands.
 
Meanwhile, Dominions 3 is a solid release, and personally I like it at least as much as I like Space Empires. But it's a different kind of game, so not all SE fans will like Dominions (e.g. Fyron    ).

 ...Simple solution: Hook her on gaming. Once you're both geeks, you don't have to give up anything.
