Poll: What do you like most about SEIV??
Well, be honest. What's kept you hooked for years, or if you're new, what's attracted you to this great game?? If you feel like it, expand on your poll answer by posting here, if you don't feel like it, let the poll speak for you. Hope I don't miss too many big options.
(By the way, I voted for the Last option  )

Re: Poll: What do you like most about SEIV??
Can I select all? Just to be goofy...
Well, really, I like the community. I'm actually not that active in playing the game anymore.

Re: Poll: What do you like most about SEIV??
Ditto. I played a bit during the whole week I was home this summer, that's about it for the past year and a half pretty much.

Re: Poll: What do you like most about SEIV??
I don't play SEIV as much as I used to. But the fun part is coming up with new strategies, ways to improve ship designs, optimizing the economy etc. I have finished only a few games of SEIV ever, because I keep starting new games.
Usually, I start a new game either when my empire is so far ahead that I know I'm going to win and it gets boring, or if I'm stuck in a stalemate for a long time, or I'm hopelessly losing and I know I'm doomed, or if I just feel like playing a different race, or if I've been away from a game for a long time for some reason and I forget what I was doing.

I think thats alot of what makes SEIV fun. Ive succesfully recommended SEIV to people who were worn out on Stars or Master of Magic because I think those games had the same appeal. Lately we have been seeing crossover between the Dominions 2 crowd and SEIV going in both directions. Very different game subjects but I think the people who play both games feel that there is similarity in the appeal of them.

Re: Poll: What do you like most about SEIV??
Bleh poll results disappointing. The only reason to play strategy games is to play other human beings, so you can put your strategies against theirs. Even if you lose, there is glory in knowing you lost to a human being and not some kind of automaton 
Sorry but looking at a static picture of the Eee doesn't cut it for me... unless I know its a human being behind that Eee. (In one game, the Eee is computerized and has dreadnaughts while I have light cruisers, and it still isn't exciting because I know its some algorithm running the Eee  ) |

You might be only half serious but I get set off by such comments in newsGroups when I see them. As much as I love strategy games I dislike player-vs-player games. I am willing to allow that some people live for the glory of climbing a tournament ladder and knowing their position on it. Yes I know thats not all MP players, just one end of the scale. But the point is that there are also people at the other end of the scale who prefer their role-playing aggressions NOT be an emotional human being. Someday maybe we can get the best of both and have a decent AI which will never hold a grudge.
