SEIV vs. MOO3....

[Ceyan]

I've only been playing Star Empires IV for a few days now (friend let me borrow it, just ordered it this afternoon for myself), and I've been playing MOO3 (actually the reason my friend lent me SEIV after I complained to him about it since it came out.

Basically there are only two benefits MOO3 has over SEIV that I can see.

One is that in Master Of Orion 3 you can have both military and commercial build projects going on at once. One thing I've hated about all 4X games (and my biggest gripe against SEIV) is that you're dealing with planets, and somehow you can only do one build project at a time for an entire frigin planet?

Two is real-time combat. The tactical turn-based (haven't tried strategic yet) isn't bad but for ship to ship combat I get more satisfaction about trading blows in real-time over turn-based.

-------------------------------------------------

This isn't really the place to ask, but since it was part of my reply, is there any way to allow multiple build projects taking place at a time? (Feel free not to answer, I'll get around to asking it later in a new post if no one wants to divert from the subject for a sec)
