Maybe its a product of age. I haven't had that syndrome since MOO2. I don't really attribute the lack of it to the games though.

The game itself is a very good game. The UI though makes it a very frustrating game to play. However in time much of the UI issues will either be worked out or learned to be accepted as characters of the game and accepted.

Yeah, I agree there Aegisx, I remember when I was a teenager me and my friend would pull all nighters playing games like Civ 2, Flashback, Shadowrun, General chaos, P.T.O., Syndicate wars, Starflight, games like that, and just never get bored. Even if we beat a game we'd get together the next weekend and start over. Even MOO2, we'd have 2 person teams, 1 researcher and 1 warrior each team. It just never got old. I think the last game that was that addicting was Alpha Centauri. SEIV was kinda like that. I was addicted to it, but only due to the mods, not to the stock, which really doesn't count since none of the others were modded.

Civ 2 not modded? Oh my... moddability was one of its strong points.

The MoO mod for Civ2 was classic. In some ways even more fun that the original MoO.

Could you play SE V without the use of a key board? I ask this because with the improvements that we are now seeing in consoles such as the X-Box 360, PS3, and Wii, a game such as SE V, dumbed down a bit, might just be feasible... ?

The console developers control what can be put on their consoles. And the most complicated TBS I've seen on one is Advanced Wars. Not a good sign. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

Ironically, consoles are turning more and more into regular computers, soon the only difference will be that they use the TV as opposed to a computer screen.

I've yet to have a good experience with a PC-game-gone-console, though. In all cases I can remember it has degraded the PC experience immensly. Especially concerning UI/Controls, since the developers are usually too lazy to develop seperate systems for both platforms.
