Wow, I never expected to find Escape Velocity gamers here. I'm a devout follower of the series, even though the third and latest installment Nova was a disappointment to me. I would seriously suggest you to get a mac emulator and try out the two previous games. There are several guides on the net how to do it.

ok, i went on and bought the Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri and Alien Crossfire games (at Wal-Mart, i guess they are re-publishint Alien Crossfire again)....

Also, sent the order for Stars! serial number, but nothing back on that yet... :-(

I hope I didn't/don't get screwed and all my money in my bank account disappears...

Alpha Centauri/Alien Crossfire are among my all-time Favorites. I am so hoping they'll announce development plans for a sequel some day!

actually there's no need to get a mac emulator for the previous 2 installments - they are now available as plug-ins for EV Nova. check out the add-ons page on Ambrosia's Nova site.

Mortifer, how is Warlords 4? worthy?

Heh, for some perverse reason I loaded up Might and Magic VI the other day. Now I'm hooked back into it, though in about a week I'll get sick of the repetative fights and other nigling annoyances.

Still the first time I played that game I was amazed at how well it kept me engrossed. Wizardy VII was better I guess, but I was still in college for Wiz VII. Wiz8 is great too, at least from the demo, but man, I got no time for that one

Well a little more about Warlords 4.

IMHO the game is ok, but nothing more. I really like as you can upgrade your warlord, units and heroes.
The new battle system is ok. The gfx is average.
The spells are ok as well.

However I dont have the old warlords feeling that I had, when I was playing with Darklords Rising for example. This game lacks of something. I cant tell you what is it, but if you gonna try it out you will feel the same propably... This is definitely not better than the old warlords games...
The AI on harder levels is really good. It is really thinking. It wont attack a city for example if his chances are a little worse than yours, also it is making nice strategic moves.

If I must rate this game on a 0-100 scale, than Warlords 4. will score 60/100...
As I said the worst part, that I dont have that good old 'warlords feeling' while I am playing with the game.
