SEIV Gold Difficulty Question
I currently have SEIV and while I like the game I have never been greatly impressed with the AI even at the highest setting. 
Is the AI on SEIV Gold worth spening the money for the newer Version? I have played the demo but I have not been able to come to a firm conclusion within the 100 turn limit.  |

You don't absolutely need Gold if play only against humans. Patches only work for Gold, so if the AI is going to get better, you'll need Gold.
Hmmm... when I first got Gold I saw there were some slight improvements the were distintive. The way it handles minefields, is an example.
Are you giving the AI at least a low bonus so it doesn't have problems if it finds only poor planets around it?
I always find the TDM-Modpack races a challange. |

Re: SEIV Gold Difficulty Question
Supposedly, new 1.84 patch should make AI at highest level much more dangerous. Before, AI did't build more ships than allowed by pre-bonus income restriction on maintenence. Now it should be able to build twice or even five times more ships.

Re: SEIV Gold Difficulty Question
Gold makes a number of small improvements to the user interface. The cumulative effect of all the improvements makes playing "classic" feel tedious by comparison, IMO.
I don't know how many of the UI improvements are reflected in the demo.

Re: SEIV Gold Difficulty Question
F Te antKe,
Please don't take any offence to this, but it is kinda hard to sound convincing with only ONE post attributed to your nic. Not saying you don't know the game, or have not played it a lot, or that Gold is not worth it. I just kinda found that funny.
