I am a BIG fan of stratgy games.SE4 and EFS are 2 of my favs despite having rather lack luster graphics.
Rebellion and BoF were good also but nowhere near as good as the 2 first mentioned.Gameplay over graphics is where I stand.If I can have them both, fine.But if not, GIVE ME GAMEPLAY.Thank you.
Now the one place that both these games(se4,EFS) fall short IMHO is lack of good ground combat.I would pay good money for another Version of either of these games in which absoulutely nothing was changed BUT the ground combat.
If either game would incorporate ground combat in a form like that of the close combat series I'd be a REAL happy puppy.
I'd even settle for a steel panthers type of ground combat.
As far as I'm concerned this is the only big thing both SE4 and EFS really fell short on.
Also make the ground combat control optional,so if you dont want to control it you can let the AI do it(shudder,shiver,etc..Oh the horror.Just look at the bodies)
The one thing you must NEVER do however is turn the SE
ies into a clickfest like the wardaft series or the many other no IQ reguired clickfests for 12 year olds games flooding the market.
