Back in the day I was a big fan of Space Empires III, going so far as to create my own ship designs. I played the game over and over loving every second of it.
I haven't played a 4X game in a while, and coming back it seems that GC and SE are still top of the pile. I heard good things about the AI of GC, but I know SE has AI mods and more to customise...
That's just speaking from what little I know, but in my experience fans of both sides are better placed to put forward the pros and cons of their favoured game. I know that both are waiting on a new version to come out, but I wanted to know what the pros and cons of each game are and was hoping people could guide me in my search for a new 4X game. Sure, I could try them both, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who has more games than time
