Is Space Empires IV the Most Addictive Game Ever?

[kalthalior]

In Strategy boardgaming, it was first Stratego, then Risk, then Axis & Allies, then Star Fleet Battles/Federation & Empire (strategic component to SFB). The first PC game I was addicted to was SE3. Then it was Asheron's Call for awhile, then SE4 came out and AC went into the trash and I told MS to stuff their $10/month fee. I hate to say it, but Europa Universalis 2 has been distracting quite a bit of my attention lately, but I have this feeling I will be playing SE4 again pretty soon, once I am done conquering Europe and the New World again. I will say EU2 has the best community (other than this one) that I have ever found -- helpful, friendly and few/no flame wars.
