I find SEIV to have less micromanagement than my previous favorite: Moo2. I still shudder when I remember how boring it was to move newly born farmers to scientist or builders. Every turn dozens of planet screens pop-up telling about finished construction, etc.

In all I have played just about all of the 4x games out with the noteable exception of SE III, and in all of those games, I found SEIV to be the most balanced when it came to Micromanagment.

I do not agree that the game is bogged down by micromanagment, and would argue that fact to any one who believes so.

I believe SMAC to be a Very popular game, certainly one of my Favorites and that had a lot of Micromanagement; possibly even much more at times.

The fact that BOTF is cheap is part of the problem. It's hard to justify purchasing a game when the postage will be equal to or greater than the cost of the game itself...

You're right. I rarely change what I've done, but then again I guess I must be mildly obsessive-compulsive... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

»What's your micromanagement tolerance level?.
I have se4gold for a year now. My tolerance is superior, I can handle it. But when i have over 40+ worlds green astricks,3 enemy empires,200 ships in a 200 solar systems.Then i start to need Ice on my head. I used ministers,Which work in a sorry way for me. I tried?, I DIED!. Hopefully this will be address to MM in a patch, which somebody can list its faults.

Additional questions listed below.
1) Does SEIV involve a lot of micromanaging?
2) Does SEIV feel like there's a lot of micromanaging involved?
3) Does anybody happen to know of a computer game that involves more micromanaging than SEIV?

Answers;
1) Only to Very later progress in the game.theory above.
2) Depends upon the player.But I dont believe so.
3) http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif STARS is a runner up. BOTF is ABSOULUTY NOT.
