the WORST Empire building game youve ever played(Turn based or RTS)

Does Sim Farm count as empire buildning?

Sim games have their own genre, boredom building. Your boredom builds up for 2 hours, then you win.

I don't understand the Ascendancy thing. Yes, the AI was crap, but everything else about the game was rather elegant and beautifully done. The AI patch made the game a reasonably enjoyable experience, IMO.

As for SW Rebellion...if you download RebEd, which allows you to edit all the buildings, units, etc. in the game, and shorten the production times and increase the speeds of all the ships, it becomes a much more playable game. The AI will put up a really challenging fight against you, at least on the highest level of difficulty.

I didn't like 1603AD (or was it 1602?) at all. The graphics were good, but the game itself was tedious.

Where can I download RebEd from?

If you have a PC now............ Contact me.

I actually have it, but because I didn't play it that much back then, it's diffecult to start playing an old classic...

That's the reason why I don't like Transport Tycoon... as I finally got the game, the graphics was outdated... and when the graphics is outdated, I have a hard time getting into the game...

Wasn't it 1604? Well, anyway... I didn't like that game either... there just wasn't enough gameplay, to keep me going

It was 1602. The prequel, 1503, is just coming out. It has better graphics if nothing else. The demo is available somewhere.

[Adagio]

ok... I had hoped for a better gameplay instead, but since I haven't heard any mentions about that, I assume the gameplay is the same, so I didn't bother downloading the demo...

I got the 1503 demo. I may be mistaken but as far as I could tell the tutorial script was IDENTICAL to that of 1602. After seeing that I will have a hard time believing there are any significant differences in gameplay.
