Yeah...but the integrated sounds good to me with my bass speaker. The shop guy said that it could run up to six speakers.

Well sure, but that's just a matter of putting more of the same chips on there.

-----I invite people here to play chess at http://playgames.comcast.net/ . It's under "Multiplayer". It features score points, a ranking legend, chat, a lobby, tables to choose, and a decent angled view.

-----Is there a way to keep units and ships allowed in space set at 20,000 instead of having to click it there each new game? Probably not.

Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
 

Yeah, settings.txt.

All my mods set it there by default.

Re: Random Thoughts, Observations, and Questions..
 

Oh thanks. I don't really mod. I suppose I could try that though. I'll look into it.

SE IV settings.txt:

Default Number Of Units Per Player := 20000

-----So I was just at my local Game Stop. They have one box of Space Empires IV for $9.99.(I wish businesses would just put $10.00, etc.).It was on the bottom shelf. I moved it to the top facing forwards.HeHe.
They have like 10 copies of Civilization IV, Warlords Expansion for $29.99 ($30.00 grr). I will get it at a later date; maybe cheaper. Right now I have not been allowing myself much playing time. It has been SEIV lately.

What I did buy there for $19.99 (...$20.00) is Space Rangers 2, Rise of the Dominators. It is "Turn based, stategy gameplay in outer space and real-time 3D battles on the surface of planets!". That's what it says. Also,"RPG Element: Choose which race you want to belong to, which type of spacecraft you want to fly, and develop skills and the strategy you want to employ."
It's not gonna be like SEIV of course but some thing different on the side. I've read some reviews. Does anyone have opinions of this game and experience playing it? I have not yet opened it.
