At midnight here, I was polishing some background material for my race in History of the Galaxy II.

SE IV and Civ2 are respectively my favorite and third favorite computer games. (#2 is Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire.) Haven't played Civ3 yet.

Why on Earth would I have done that? I play SE4 to play against other people, not the AI, which is rather pitiful when compared to the AI in many other games.

I think the "one more turn" is great in SE4, however teh Ai is lacking. But granted SEIV is a much deeper game teh CIV making it harder to craft a difficult AI. I mean look at the Ai in simpler games like Starcraft and Warcraft 3. I've not played much, but the AI there is handing my *** to me on a platter consistently.

But i gotta go now, and play one more turn
