I guess it depends how you definve addictive. I think a game is addictive if like Empires II you play it from the time you bought it at 3pm and don't stop till 7am.

(and then have to skip class that day to sleep)
SE4 has never been that way for me. I love SE4 becase you can play it by e-mail or PBW in short stints.
Hmm funny I think of SE4 as not addictive compared to other games yet it is now the only game I play and I've spent a zillion hours prograamming a modding tool. Hmmm think I better look up addictive in the dictionary
