Space empires is a great game and has easy access menus and production orders, etc. With all of the mods out there for it (a great one involving the Star Trek genre is very cool), you would not be dropping this baby for years to come.

There is a demo....and I have tried it on several occasions, but just dont seem to care for it that much. Just doesnt excite me.

I was a huge SE3 fan and I play SE4 from time to time. It is a better looking game, but a bit more complex than SE3.

Solid game, with a pretty dedicated mod community. I still get a lot of play out of it.

Diplomacy is a bit on the shoddy to nonexistant side, though.

SE IV is a great game. I've never seen so many bugs as there are in this game but they are great at fixing them.

Woo Hoo!!!!
I just got promoted from "settler" to "chieftain" with the last post (sorry, I couldn't resist).

sounds like you're never going to play Moo3 again, make sure to come back and visit when Moo4 comes out

i made this with you in mind mrbilll:

of course you may not get the joke if you weren't here for civ3.

Thanks all, for the replies.

I don't get the joke, H Tower, but I appreciate the thought. Some of the decisions made for Civ3 put many people off, including me.

But they weren't show stopping, stake-through-the-heart things like Moo3. Some things I got used to, and other things have been modded/patched more to my satisfaction, and Civ3 was FUN right from the start. I wasn't stunned into silence by the complexity or the interface.

But I'll still have my ear to the ground. If Moo3 gets modded or patched enough to salvage (doubtful) or if Moo4 ever comes around (more likely, but not anytime soon), I'll know, and be glad to try again.

i like SEIV never played the others in the series tho....

**General Ludd** · February 28, 2003, 21:30

SEIV is, as far as I am concerned, the king of multiplayer strategy games. There is a website out there that hosts PBEM games for it, but I don' have it's url handy. You can find all sorts of games starting there regularily, everything from death matchs to epic roleplaying (be warned of huge galaxies though, not everyone can play forever).

However, the game it self isn't really all that impressive and the AI is pretty inept so single player games are not that interesting.

Be sure to get the gold version if you get it.

Yeah - a good game, but not as gripping as SEIII for me

I'm not very up to date, what's so horrible with Moo3 now?

**General Ludd** · March 3, 2003, 09:11

Nothing is. Some people where expecting a MOO2 clone, is all. It's a completely different game.
