Re: Discussion on 4X games.
Out of all the games mentioned I'm surprised not to see "Star Trek Federation" (Well maybe not that surprised!)
Definitly a MOOII Clone but I believe it was the first space game to include the notion of neutral races. It also had an interesting combat engine. With all the talk of SEIV combat dificiencies, this one may be worth looking at for ideas. Basically you gave your ships a strategy to implement before each combat turn. The AI then modeled the combat in 3D and you watched it unfold.
Unfortunately the AI was not the best and repeatability suffered because of it.
Although I did have fun being the Ferengi and basically buying my way to the top!
If you like MooII and Star Trek it's worth at least a look see....
