Re: Current other active game software
Yes I still play stars sometimes but just solo. It processes fast so it makes a nice change from the kindof hosting I get from Dominions in the huge solo games I play with it.
For my "roguelike" fix I host a MUD on one of my servers. Its a text MMO based on Shadowdale. The address is play.sdmud.org 7777 if anyone can still figure out telnet or dig up a telnet client. 
For the people wondering why SEIV (Space Empires IV) keeps showing up, in many ways its a space version of Dominions. Not quite so deep on the strategy, but abit better on the modding. It started out rather weak (8 empires) but players drove it to over 300 empires you could play besides driving the maps much larger, the image file turned huge, and added more techs. It was hosted here at the time, and the forums for it are still here.

Re: Current other active game software
so apparently there is a large section of dominions fans that are ASCII fans. Maybe Dominions 4 should be in ASCII

Re: Current other active game software
Gal Civ 2 is about it for me. Just got the new expansion, but I haven't played it much, though it looks promising.
I haven't played an mmo since I quit Wow a few years ago, but Eve sounds tempting, and Warhammer even more so.

Re: Current other active game software
What do people think of SEV compared to SEIV? I was contemplating buying one of them at some point (maybe when I've finished my PhD).

Re: Current other active game software
If you fellas have not checked out the Fall From Heaven Mod for CIV4 it is a must.Take all civilization perks and put in Fantasy setting. Magic/swords/mythical beings, you name it its there. It is a complete overhaul of the game and once you get it working it is a brand new addiction.

Re: Current other active game software
I expect Fallout3 to be really bad game. First person? MAde by Bethesda? That just cannot end well.
