SEV: What am I REALY getting for my money?

[Ragnarok-X]

hm while i have my doubts about SEV as well, they are from a different point of view.
Considering your thoughts: What is different from HoMM4 to HoMM5, what is different vom Civ3 to Civ4 ? What is different from Homeworld 1 to Homeworld 2?

Apart from that, i love SEIV. If SEV would be exactly like SEV, but with more features and technology, i would defintly buy it. I dont even new graphics

A lot of the mechanics are different such as how combat is resolved, research/intel, hex movement, customizable lists on so on. On the modding end, there are more than double the number of data files in SE:V, not to mention scriptable AI, ability scopes, create your own units/damage types/etc.

I was looking forward to the new alliance system, which I was hoping would be similar to MoO3's Galactic Council, but the lack of attention it gets might indicate it's not as big a feature as that.

Hum, that is a really good question that a lot of people are going to end up asking themselves as they stand their looking at the snazy new box on the computer game shelf aptly titled Space Empires V. Well you get a new box to add to your collection, a new dis, or coaster depending on whether or not you liked the game, and your walet is lightened up by a few micro ounces once that $50.00 bill is gone. You get the pleasure of installing a new game onto your computer and learning how to play it without a manual or other source documentation. Since everything in PC gaming is going paperless these days. Ever try to trouble shoot a PC while trying to read a PDF file on that PC about trouble shooting it? I want to thank the master mind behind that brillant but extremely stupid idea.

Atrocities. Two words. WINDOWED MODE.
