Well comparing the two is a rather hard thing to do, since they really are very different. However, I'll try to compare them anyways

GC has a really good AI...in fact, it's too good in my opinion. I can't say with any degree of accuracy, but I think the AI cheats blatantly. They always sent their ships directly to the best planets, before I had a chance to get there, they always researched faster...it was really very frustrating. Speaking of the research, it sucks...badly. Especially compared to SEIII/SEIV.

SEIV has a lot going for it...mods, replayability, support from the community and game creator, etc. The worst part is the AI. To put it bluntly, after you've "mastered" the game, it offers no challenge really. However, the TDM modpack does make this way way way better. I can rarely beat that AI...and it doesn't cheat!!

There's much more I could say, but my time isn't infinite.

You can play against real people in SE4. And thus, no cheating is required to get a challenge.
