Well, you certainly should get Proportions Mod, P&N and Adamant Mod. Don't bother with the Full Quadrant Mod. Get Fyron's Quadrant Mod Deluxe instead, plus the standard Version for maps to use in the other three mods.

Its 4 games for the price of zero!

No. You don't understand. I wanted you to give me a rough number of hours of playability of each of the mods. Unless stated otherwise, all figures will assumed to be in hundreds of hours.

I think I've downloaded all of them. But I'm scared. I didn't sleep for three months straight when I bought SEIV in January of 2001.

That is much harder... it all depends on how much you like them, but on average, I expect that they will be similar to getting SE4 all over again (entirely new games), with the advantage of knowing the interface.

Adamant mod will give you no playability in SP right now, because the AIs are not modded yet.

If you can find humans to play it with, then go for it. Just keep in mind that I have not gotten to Weapons yet, so everyone uses the same weapons.

FQM can be used with nearly any other mod, so it can easily extend the playing time of any other mod. Just play some games with FQM Deluxe: it makes the maps much richer and more varied, and overall gives (IMHO) a better experience than using the standard quadrant/system schema.

Proportions games take many many turns, so that mod has a lot of numbers of hours.

P&N as a Pirate or Nomad takes a while too, so that can easily be many many hours too.

Askan, if the Last time you played SEIV solo two years ago, you have no rights to comment about the current state of SEIV AI ! Honestly.

I agree. To those who don't Try:

Hard AI, no neutral empires, many computer opponents, Max AI advantage, and check all computer vs human. I have tried this repeatedly, in many different sizes of galaxys, and have never managed to win. (Oh, I also use the TDM AI's)

That is not a result of good AI, it is a result of stacking lots of bad AIs against you.
