Star Craft was a great game, but AOE was far more involving for longer periods. GalCiv is a great game, but has no replay appeal whereas Space Empires has tons.

Go figure.

Try both demo's, don't just go with opinion.

But, just to give mine, I played the galciv demo for 5 maybe ten minutes and uninstalled it. But that's just me.

I know that the dicussion has been hammered to death over this topic spread out over this forum and others now for over a couple of years.

I recall reading one post on the MOO3 forum where someone dared say that MOO3 was the best 4x game ever made. Then someone posted a link to Malfadors web site and the demo. A few hour slater, the poster came back and posted a correction.

Any one who thinks Moo3 is better than SEIV is IMHO insane. Any one who thinks that Gal Civ is better than SEIV has not played SE IV. Nuff said.

Moo3 is better than GalCiv IMHO

And after the last patch, the game was pretty decent, but it was still annoying and boring at times (GalCiv is just plain boring and silly)

Infact, if I ever find my moo3 cd, I might just play it again... just for the purpose of wasting a few hours

Even after that patch I still found the game to be more like an pre-alpha rather than an actual finsihed product. To bad, after waiting all those years, seeing all that money shelled out, reading about all those programers putting in so many hours on the game, and in the end, a game made by one man over the course of a year and a half completely and utterly obliterated them. Go SE IV go.

Imho bad comparison, Star Craf is popular up to this day, and I'd think even more so than AOE.


Anyways, imho SE4 is better than any 4X game on the market atm, except maybe for stars! which is in it's own way better or worse than SE4. depending on what you look at.
