Thanks...

Just wondering, SE4 came out almost 4 years ago, and then Starfury...does someone have a guess on when SE5 will be released?

It will be around 2 years from now, roughly. Aaron is working full blow on it right now. Before Starfury came out he was hoping to have Starfury out by christmas of 04, or was it 05? Either way it is going to be roughly 2 years from this point. Give or take a week.

SEIV (against the AI) is not strong on diplomacy so there is no such thing as a “Cultural” victory or a “Galactic counsel” like some other 4X games have.

That's too bad. I like doing that in Galactic civilizations. Just put a starbase near an enemy planet, and fill up it up to the point where the planet rebels and joins my side. Maybe in SEV?

cultural victory bad. cultural victory to simplified. very few civilizations ever defected becuase the other civilizations had bigger GREB*'s.

I always play without victory conditions. Victory occurs in my games when he with the largest fleet conquers all. Gun Boat diplomacy works for me.

victory, for me, comes when i know how i can win and that i can win. after that, it gets boring. bad habit of mine.

I have the same habit. I don't use the victory conditions but if it gets to the point where I'm so far ahead of the other empires that I know I'm going to win, it gets boring and I start a new game. Or sometimes I just start a new game anyway just because I feel like using a different racial tech or whatever. Or if I don't play for a few days, I don't feel like continuing where I left off so I start a new game. I've only actually finiahed a few games ever.
