Your History With SEIV

Jourin · #1 November 30th, 2001, 09:21 PM

I started with Civ I as my first computer game, then CivII. I then tried other like games, but very disappointed. I then found MOOII. In the discussion they mentioned SEIII as a great game. I looked at it, but decided to wait for SEIV that was soon coming out (yeah right). CTP, BOTF and IGII game out and I got all games, but they all disappointed me, especially the support with was almost 0. BOTF and CTP had such great potential but the games felt unfinished, like they rushed it to market by not finishing some great ideas. SEIV, was delayed so I thought I would get get SEIII. Loved the game, but missed a map edititor to create scenarios. Pre-ordered SEIV, played the demo (OK, but not good), but rarely played SEIV until patch 1.31 because of all the problems. Since 1.31, I have hardly played any other game. Love the game, but just got CIV3 and am playing that game and will probably get MOOIII when it comes out. Waiting on the promised drones for SEIV.

I found the SE3 demo from web and played it for a couple months. I didn't buy the game because I read that SE4 was in development. First I thought that the release was only few months away but as it was postponed many times and I almost forgot about the whole thing. When the SE4 demo was released I downloaded it and loved it.

SE4 is the best game I've ever bought. I wanted to make my own shipset so I had to learn to make 3D graphics. Before SE4 I didn't have a clue how to make graphic with computer. (Well, I knew how to use Paint.) Now I can use Pov-Ray and I have made few shipsets that are looking good enough to play with. (Toron, Aquilaeian)

I have played some PBW games with those shipsets but with poor success. I have been always second or third who is eliminated from game and I have only played with 10+ players. Some time in the future I intend to survive in a game still when half of the players have been eliminated.

Always liked the SE products. I was waiting like a year for #4 to come out. Now I wait for the next patch, lol!

{And BTW, what's with the new lame archives forums with no way to down load the mod files or they're not showing up. (sorry, off topic)}

Well, found an answer to my question back a page or two in the forum here.

I first became interested in the game back in September. I have not yet ordered it as I do not have my own computer. But I will order it as soon as I do get a computer. When I visit my brother, I play my game on his PC. I am up to turn 260+ and going. The game is a wonderful departure from life, and I enjoy being a Uber Lord of the Galaxy.
