Seeing as SE4 is a niche game in a niche market, only sold Online, and has a very small Online community, I'd say that the selection of mods available is rather large...

In fact is is speculated that there were only about 10,000 copies of SEIV sold and that is on the high estimation.
It took SEIV nearly four years to reach this point, and GalCiv did this in its first two weeks.
The differance, certainly not better game play on GalCivs part, but Gal Civ was sold in stores and had a huge advertising blitz.
Shrapnel has done a fine job of selling SEIV on line, but their business model, as commented and quated many times, dictates their marketing strategies.
I think the bigest boast to sales came from PC Gamer when they reviewed SEIV Gold and gave it a good review. After that, word of mouth followed by Shrapnel adds.
I found out about the game via word of mouth, and I know I have done my best to bring people into the game over the years. So I do believe that word of mouth is rapidly creeping up on the PC Gamer generated sales.
