The graphics look cool I guess. This is not a new game though. It's been around probably as long as Space Empires as a shareware game IIRC. This is just a new Version with publisher support.

Am I so hopelessly out of step with the whole gaming world? What's the deal with all these "Real Time", strategy games. Why does everybody want their games to be real time? I like turn based. I like being able to plan and plot at my own pace, and even do other things away from the computer without worrying about coming back to the charred remains of my empire.

The features say you can pause it at any time. So what's the point with making it real time to begin with if you can pause it at any time?

One of my favorite shareware games was a little World War II game called WinWar. They updated it while back and made a bunch of cool graphics and added some very nice fog of war features. But they made it real time. ARRGGHGHGH!

I guess I just don't get it.

If SEV is gonna be real time, I don't want it.
