I used to love this game(still do, but now I play SE4G more instead of Stars!) I've played 100s(possibly 1000s) of hous against the computer, but I've never gone up against a human. Is anybody interested?
For those that don't know Stars! may be the only 4x strategy game lesser known than Space Empires. To see more about it and get the latest Version (vers. i)go here:
http://www.crisium.com/
It uses vector based movement insead of the "grid"(you set a destination and then a warp speed and fuel is expended to get there based on how good the engine is) and resorses are very different from SE4(there are "resorses" and three different kinds of minerals you have to mine) and combat is all strategic(no tactical). There was suposed to be a sequal but as far as I know it never got a publisher.(Stars! Super Nova Genisis was supposed to come out a month after SE4 first did
)
I've been feeling nostalgic and Want to see how I do against a human. I've been reading the help and I think I can set up a and host a PBEM game. Anybody up for it(you could host if you want, I don't care I just want to play)?
