Default Worst Games Of SEIV You Have Ever Played

For me I have four.

My first worst game was when I started a new Single Player game and by turn 2 my star had gone nova and I was out of the game. Quick and easy.

The second game was the Star Trek Final Frontier (I) where I started on a moon. That did not work out well for me.

The third was when I joined ond of CK's game and took the pirate trait without understanding what that meant. My bad. I let everyone down.

The Black Nova game I joined was interesting but it sucked horribly for as I took over an empire on the verge of being anihiliated by a hostile neighbor.

All of these games althought ultimately dissapointing, were fun while they Lasted.

For me, that's the first game I hosted myself. I was inexperienced (not in playing but in organizing an good PBW-game) and much to eager to play, I got beaten before turn 40.

I even don't remember the game's name but it was an 1.49-game

Inti,

One game I started colonizing only to discover a alien race was in the next system... It declared war, and I pooled all my resources to ships, but it wasn't enough... I was reduced to a tiny world systems away with nothing but a couple of ships...

I remember my first game of SEIV Gold after playing on the demo.

I started ok, but didn't have a clue of the advanced tech that wasn't available in the Demo, and got my behind severely handed back to me by the AI. Maybe i should have checked first

Now i'm winning Hard Difficulty/High Bonuses/Team Mode TDM Mod Pack Games, it's nice to know i actually learnt how to play the game

Single player game. I started in the bottom corner with 3 wps out of the system. 2 were unstable that lead to black holes while the 3rd led to a system that only had 2 tiny planets I could colonize. After finally managing to get past one black hole (about 12 attempts later), What was I to find? Another Black Hole!!! By the time I got 3 systems away from my homeworld (yes, only 3), I was using heavily armored destroyers (needed to heavy research armor to get through the unstable wps and repair to get through the black holes), my first encounter with an AI was with a Krill battle Cruiser.

yeah....

Now that I think about it, that became one of the most challenging games, and a whole lot of fun once I got to that point....
