Rats! SE4 Gold backordered!

Good news! Back in stock at gamersfront.com and shipped already today! Yeah!

P.S. Pax, I checked, thanks...$25 +S&H pricing at cdmag.com is for SE4 (11/00 Version). For SE4 Gold it's $45 plus S&H so if you want Gold Shrapnel (which sends you to gamersfront.com) appears to be cheaper.

I did the same thing.

I was SOOO looking forward to MOO 3.

I was SOOO horrified at the monster it had become.

I really wanted to play a 4x game because I was SOOO looking foward to MOO 3.

My brain said, 'What about SEIV'.
I couldn't find the disk!
I remembered they had a new edition.
I shelled out the money.

So my copy of SEIV gold is on the way (I hope) and my copy of MOO 3 sits on top of my hard drive.

QS's disaster has prob sold about 50 copies of SEIVgold so far and I wouldn't be surprised if it really shoots up.

EDIT: Just checked, it shipped, woohoo!

Trust me when I say that there are many, many of us out there trying our damndest to draw more people to SEIV.

Worked on me.
I've been waiting nearly a year for MOO3 to be released. After the Civ3 debacle I decided to wait for user reviews before purchasing MOO3. After numerous bad reviews, I've decided not to buy the game.
I downloaded the SEIV demo yesterday.

If sales get really big, would Aaron bring out SEV sooner? Maybe contract more programmers?
SE5 is just such a long time away. Luckely we have SEIV to keep us company

I hope after Starfury is out, he'll announce the big changes in SE V.

I too, finally purchased SEIV due to the bad buzz around MoO3. I still intend to get MoO3, just waiting until the dust (and bodies) settle. It still has great potential and I can't give up yet.

That said SEIV already has the goods (I've been tinkering with the demo for months - just procrastinating in the purchaisng dept)

In my humble opinion, if sales of SE:4 increase due to moo3's shortcommings, this would not necessecarily (I'm sure I spelled that wrong!) mean that SE:5 would come out faster, but it would make SE:5 a sure thing! (..and for your information SE:5 is already a sure thing. Aaron has confirmed that in a few interviews!)

Adding more programmers would not help the game get out faster, in fact in most cases it would extend the development time. The more people you have on a development team, the more time and effort has to be spent on coordination and syncronization of the people involved.

Nuf said! Cheers!
