While surfing for a new game I came over this rave review:

http://www.pcgameworld.com/review.php/id/164/

In fact it was so good you could almost suspect the reviewer, a mysterious Scott R Krol, was not totally unbiased http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Anyway, thank you Scott. It was all true.

Reading a game magazine while I was addicted to crack and alcohol. I needed a new vice that kept me at home w/o appearing to be addicted. Only problem is after 2 years I'm too addicted and have been seen taking turns at work when I don't have the time to snort a few turns at home. The good news is most of the addiction is transparent to others (my wife still thinks I'm crazy when I spend an hour on a turn that includes clicking the mouse a 1k+ times).

On the Master of Orion 3 forums while waiting for the Super Patch for that game.

Tried the demo, bought it the next day, never looked back.

I was looking for a game to replace Stars! after I realised Stars! Supernova was not going to come out. I came across the game listed in a games catalogue.The sort that just has a single paragraph with the price listed. Decided to give it a go from the description. Glad I did.

Well I came across the demo when I was looking on the net for new games to play I might like and wanna buy, needless to say my search ended the moment I started playing, got a mate to buy the game for me, and like many ppl here, lost many days to the game since http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

I was once a civ addict since 1996 now recovering. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif I helped create a website geared around a Mod initially for civ3. I had tried Galciv and really found the 4x genre a ton of fun. The owner of Galciv & creator, posted a message saying how great a game SEIV Gold was.

I posted a message at my website in the OT asking about SEIV. One of our staff members told me it was one of the best games he has played in years.

I went out downloaded the demo, this was like 6-8 months ago. (I also BOUGHT Moo3 like an idiot thats another story. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon8.gif ) Once I finally got SEIV in the mail, I found it a bit tough too learn at first. After 2 days of playing I was totally hooked.

I started up the SEIV Website for love of the game & because I found out that 4 others at CDG also played the game. From there I wanted to make a Mod, the rest is history. I now realize that these forums are the place to go and get help. I do hope my website starts getting some members, but Intel forums are the best. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

My Mod tentative name is the Galactic Conflict Mod. The Basic premise of the Mod is how humans end up spreading out colonizing the galaxy, like humans always do, they ned up fighting for prime quadrant locations. Akula (female player http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )is my partner creating most of the artwork we will use.
The game will feature MOSTLY human races, with about 8 Alien races, most of which are Mega Evil status. Plus a host of neutral races of course. Sorry just a plug there. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Looking forward to SE V. Star Fury is a cool game also, but no where near as much fun as SEIV IMHO. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif
