Another gamer from the Moo3 mess

When you decide to look into mods for SE4, there is a Mods List page on www.malfador.com/se4.html that has links to many of the mods out there.

Looks like MOO3 might have been the best thing for SE4 in a long time. All the dissatisfied customers are discovering SE4. Ironic. Glad to see the new people. This place is pretty mature and very helpful. You will like it.

Slick.

SE-IV has gameplay up the ying-yang, my friend. Enjoy!

I've had the game for over 6 months now. I'm still thoroughly enjoying the original (*) game, and have yet to scratch the surface.

After I played my first game, I tweaked my race's abilities, and tried again...
Then I tried playing them again with a different attack approach (drones-a-go-go http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif )...
Now, I'm trying a new game with Temporal abilities...
Then I can try, say, Religious...
Then Organic...
Then Psychic...
Crystalline? Sure, why the heck not...
Them maybe I'll try a mix of the advanced traits...
Them maybe I'll try a game using strategic combat only... you know, spend many frustrating/fulfilling hours understanding the behavior of the various ship & fleet strategies...
Then maybe I'll try a simultaneous game instead of turn-based...
Then maybe I'll try the Proportions mod; maybe get lost in that...
Then maybe I'll try Pirates and Nomads; maybe get lost in that...

Then... maybe I'll actually play other humans http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon6.gif

It's a race. Let's see if I can burn out on SE-IV before SE-V is released. In this case, I'd say the smart money was on Aaron. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

*: Half-true... I'm using the TDM modpack so that I can have more interesting (and varied) opponents...

Greeting and salutations, Gamevet. I've had this game for nearly a year, and if wasn't for this website, I'd probably have lost interest a long time ago. With all the mods and new races, not to mention the camaraderie of all of the members here, it is a really useful place to get all the info you need for this game. Especially since the manual is lacking in quite a few details, which made it frustrating at first until I asked a few questions and got to learn the game better.

You can add my name to the list. I took back Moo 3 today and ordered SEIV Gold.

... yup, MOO3 is the only reason I heard of a small game like SE4, and only reason I'm buying it. Last "unknown" game I'll be buying ever, going to college, won't have time/money to buy anything other than like my Starcraft 2... or Warcraft 3 expansion etc. etc. I think Malafador (I think that's how you spell) should send a thank you note to Quicksilver/Inforgrames for making the piece of garbage MOO3 that brought people to SI4 http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif
