Hey, this game is pretty fun!
So, I did something this weekend I haven't done in close to a year and a half if I recall correctly. I actually played a game of SEIV single player! 
It is amazing how addictive it is. I had intended to only play a few turns, but ended up burning about 5 hours between Saturday and Sunday. Where did the time go? 
No, the AI isn't very challanging compared to human players, but it was still fun. They weren't complete pushovers. In fact, while I am in first place after about 150 turns, player 2 isn't that far behind me. He's got about 90% of my score, so I may have a fight on my hands when I go up against him. It probably would have been worse for me had I altered the quadrant file a bit. I got a lucky starting position sitting between a black hole and another dead system.

Only 5 hours in 2 days? Off weekend for you?

Re: Hey, this game is pretty fun!
I once played a single player game that was massively difficult for me. I got unlucky (or was it lucky?) and started in a system that only had 3 wps. One went to a deadend system with only 2 planets I could colonize and the other 2 both went to blackholes! Damaging wps and all. After YEARS of preperation I finally got through both black holes with an undamaged ship only to find 2 more black holes! By the time I even made it out of there and encountered anyone else, I was using destroyers and they all had battleships and up! Now that was a hard game.

Heh... more than a few academic programs, careers, and even marriages have been ended by games like SimCity and Civilization... |
