Dom 3. I would recommend SE5 only after it gets patched to a good state, which I think will happen eventually. Personally I'm betting it takes about a year before I'll want to really get into it, due mainly to all the UI tedium and AI weakness.

Dom3!

Se5 might seem to be an ok game if you never played Se4, otherwise expect huge frustration and disapointment.


Hmm, can anyone make a SE5 mod for Dom3?

Well, if it's about ground combat...

Hmm. I guess you could also make a map where the provinces are planets, and have oceans be space... er, hmm, ya, maybe you could!

Make it mostly tiny islands, some with small secondary provinces/moons connected to them. Maybe some hot, hostile star provinces.

At this point Dom3 has the better AI and is a really good game to play. However, SE V offers impressive 3d type space combat, and loads of depth.

I'd recommend SE4 over both of them, hands down.

What Fyron said; SEIV uber alles at the moment.

Here's a question, can anyone make an SEIV mod for SEV?
