Complex non-Chesslike strategy games against the AI tend to grow very boring... AIs are decades away from providing a real challenge without relying on massive cheating. Humans can change strategies and such easily, and always hold surprises. Even the best AIs become highly predictable. It is not a matter of if you will win, but rather when... This, and the interaction, roleplaying aspects, etc., is what makes multiplayer much better than single player for many players.

I like the 'exploration' aspect of se4, even though the warp point connections are all known at the beginning of the game. I wish there was a way to hide them. Oh well, to each his own.

Cheers!

Easy with the language, brianeyci.

Also note that some of us here at the forums view the threads in the 'proper' fashion with the newest on top, so it would be wise to not to use terms as "points to above" in this forum. It would be best to quote the person you are speaking of with the quote button right by the reply button and then type in your responce.
