There is a good list of the gold changes in the History (zip) file.

Check the downloads section of http://www.spaceempires.net

Or, go to the TDM home page:

Well, thank you all for your responses.
I suppose if it's for a greater cause, I suppose I can live with it.

However, I do spend far too much money on PC games, so I have to be very picky when it comes to purchases.

Recently, I bought Moo3 and Sims Deluxe The point is, another $40 bucks for a game I have is just well.. it just sticks in my craw.

But, again, I suppose, if they need the money to keep them going, I suppose I shouldn't complain too much. After all, there is no denying MM's dedication to their fanbase/playerbase.

I've been away for awhile, and haven't played SE in quite some time, probably been over nine months since it's even been on my Hard Drive. But, That is mainly because I got so messed up with all the AI's and such. I kinda spent too much time tryin' to sort out all the RACES that I quickly became tired of the whole thing.

But, now, that I want to return, I find that it's gonna cost me $40 bucks to get back up to par?
I suppose it might be worth it just to avoid having to huntdown and load all the newest races and mods and such.

Well.. I'll quite complainin', besides, it's too late anyway, they got my money. I am intrigued by their newest project however... "SE: Something or other" That non-linar freestyle game sounds like it has promise.

Ohhhh.. quick question. I orderd the SEIV: Gold CD from Gamers Front. While I'm waiting for the CD to arrive, should be about four days, is there anywhere I can download the Gold so I can get started?

I have the day off tomorrow and would like to play. Otherwise, I'll recieve the game in the middle of the work week and one of two things will happen.. 1) I'll load it up and be late for work, probably getting fired, or 2) Live with the torture of knowing I have the Game but can't play for another two or three days.

Thanks again, I do feel alittle bit better about the money spent. Is MM doin' better financially now?

Edit/ P.S. I don't play multi-play at all. Due to the nature of my job, I do not usually have regular schedules and what not. Thus, previous attempts at tryin' to MP have not worked out. Thus, single play quality is First and Foremost for my needs. I'm in LawEnforcement and in the National Guards, Thus, I go away for weeks and even months at a time, also, my regular work schedule is pretty much at the whim of my superiors, and they are a fickle bunch.

Are the Gold Race AI's even somewhat formidable opponents in Single Play?

To my knowledge, yes.

Oh.. hell.. While I'm here, I would like to say Howdy to Suicide Junkie and Atrocities, I don't know if I love you guys or detest you.

All I remember is searching high and low for formidable AI's and New Mods and seein' your names pop up.

Just want to let you two know that someone out there appreciates your work and effort in the SEIV community, even if folks like myself aren't very active or vocal about it. Though, I do remember the nightmare of downloading multiple Versions of the same races. I remember the long hours of tryin' to debug the mess I made with all the downloads and races and mods. I blame you, both of you for that time lost.

Well, that's it, I'm gonna go away now, but again, thanks, and I'm eager to get my CD so I can get started again!

Oh, yeah, did you all know it costs over $50 to ship same day!? I opted for the UPS ground, it's gonna be a Loooooong four days.

How about just a friendly "I'd invite these guys over for a beer and an SE4 LAN party" attitude?

Well personally I think Gold was well worth it. So much so that even though I could have got a free copy for being a beta testor I chose to purchase a copy instead. Just from a perspective of how much time spent playing I have got a lot mroe out of SE4 then any other game I have purchased.

SE4 ties with Civ 2 for most time out of a game for me.
