Re: OT: other shrapnel games
I get to play them all (but its in my job description).
Still I would recommend Space Empires IV. I really like that so much of it (images and AI) is BMP and TXT files. Im debating doing a Version of Poke-in-the-Eye or WEvsTHEM for SEIV. A randomizer for the AI's. heehee
And The War Engine is way cooler than the attention it gets. Im especially tempted to mention it to the people who want to MOD Dom2 into a whole new game (Fading Suns replacing magic with tech?!?). But in the TWE forums here you see reference to a Traveler Version, a medieval one, a paintball one, a MechWarrior one
