I agree. I think the one thing the game lacks is the impression that your empire is a living society, and not just a giant war factory.

Has anyone ever played Powermonger? It's an old old game on the amiga (it was by Bullfrog). In that game you really believed your armies were marching across a living, breathing world. There were villagers with names and houses and jobs, quietly going about their lives. I often felt guilty bringing war to such a beautiful and peaceful landscape. To start with anyway=-)

That's the kind of involvement I'd like to get from SEIV. Then I really would quit my job and play it all day.
