Re: MOO3
IMO MOO3 looks like it will be more of a roleplaying game. I am actually looking forward to this because I think the SE series in general has always lacked things like a storyline and generally substance behind the alien empires. For instance I thought the basic concept behind Imperium Galactica II, and SMAC was great. You felt immersed, you seemed to need to explore, and there was pretty good variety in the scenarios that inevitably played out.
SE4 is more of a wargame, always has been. And not just a wargame but a blank canvas. That's what iv'e always enjoyed about SE, I can do it however I want. Honestly neither IG2 or SMAC hold a candle to SE4's strategic depth and replayability. Both ways of doing things are good in their own right, but I can't wait until someone finally puts them together, maybe SE5 ?
