Change your SEIV starting background image!!

maybe it is only me but who else has noticed the simplicity of the rendered image which you see under the game's main menu (starting background)... if you too are bored with it, here is an easy way to do it. Pick your favorite 1024x748 or 800x600 image and place it under Space Empire IV/pictures/game/screens/1024x768 (or 800x600)/

and rename it intro. The original intro has to be renamed before this to avoid conflict.

I use my star craft colonial marine wallpaper as the background... looks really good with the armored marines on a new barren rocky colony - Space empire!

If you want to find some similiar background (star craft)... visit this link:

MM created an excellent game engine, but its graphic definatly need more work... especially that intro screen which looks like being made during a middle school graphic project.

don't you wish MM has the same budget as Blizzard? Or Electronic Arts? That would be great!
