Anyone know anything about...

There is a new game coming out from Strategy First called Supremacy. The designers are a new bunch in NY. The game is supposed to be a throwback to MOO etc. The website is at Supremacygame.com. ...

Re: To Illwinter

When I first tried the demo I was perplexed and unimpressed. The units were too small for my old eyes, the music was weird, and the gameplay was unintuitive. But I kept at it, and gradually it...

Re: What is this piece of CRAP.....!

SESF is supposed to be real-time, and representative of the real world. It is pretty clear from many of the Posts that the game's lack-luster graphics and arcade physics limit many players'...

Re: What is this piece of CRAP.....!

I played the demo, and decided not to buy the game.

- Judging from the demo, the game isn't very stable. My system is far above the minimums, but it crashed every session.
- The ship you...

Re: Some observations

I was more than a little underwhelmed by the demo. Dated (crude?) graphics in a strategy game are acceptable because much of the game occurs in your mind and imagination. The ubiquitous 'fan...

Re: OT: Galatcic Civilizations (GalCiv)

I love SEIV, particularly the white-knuckle early stages when the AI empires try to take you out. However, if you get a leg up on the AI, the rest of the game (hours and hours) is mop up leading to...

Re: OT: Want opinions on Imperium Galactica II: Alliances

I stuck with IGII for a long time, because I really liked the original IG, and the battles were fun to watch. I gave up on it when I had the realization that the storyline just was tacked on to...

Re: SEIV GOLD Rebate

The simplest and fairest mechanism would seem to be that used by Enlight Software with the original Seven Kingdoms game: sell a patch to upgrade current Versions to "Gold" for $15-$20 (including the...

Re: Undoubtedly heard this before...

Thanks for all your responses, but it looks like I made a goof after all. My cloaks were on, and none of the enemy ships had sensors. But, I hadn't checked the enemy satellites. Sure enough, the...

Re: Undoubtedly heard this before...

Yeah, my cloaks are on (both the armor and the cloaking devices). Are ships automatically detected if adjacent to a planet? Kinda grasping at straws here. It seems it should work, but it doesn't...

Undoubtedly heard this before...

My biggest frustration with SEIV is the lack of a comprehensive and SEARCHABLE manual. I think a lot of the concerns over bugs are simply a matter of not knowing how to do something. For instance,...

Re: actical Combat Has Multiple Sides for Same Empire

The "feature" didn't seem so awesome at the time. The group of warships had been over the planet for a couple of turns, and all the planetary defenses were down. All I wanted to do is invade, and...

Re: actical Combat Has Multiple Sides for Same Empire

I experienced the same thing, but with a twist: I had one group of ships over an enemy planet, blockading it. I brought in a troop transport to invade. When the transport arrived in the square, I...

Re: Problem with worm holes

The only time I got protectorate to work was when I had an AI player as a trading partner and I was dramatically superior to him in all aspects. The AI agreed to protectorate, then to subjugation. ...

Re: Help please - error with game

I've noticed a thread with most of these problems on this site and for other games on other sites- Windows ME. This is a really problematic OS for game playing and unfortunately I understand that XP...
