Re: Space Empires IV Newbie
When you get your Gold CD, be sure to upgrade the mods you want to play as the ones on the CD are older Versions. Also lst thing to do is download the Mod Launcher, it saves a lot of time downloading the various mods and makes it a lot easier to use them. All the mods are excellent, Your manual with your cd will give some explanations on them, Also upgrade to the newest SE patch 1.84.
Welcome to the SE community, enjoy and remember, if you have a question, ask away. someone will always answer around here. Enjoy yourself

Re: Space Empires IV Newbie
BTW, SEIV is evolving (not like BBC, I HATE that commercial). The latest mods are made for latest SE patch (1.84, there is a link from shrapnelgames.com front page. It is not about bugs or complaints, it is a straitforward feedback from MM to our requests). Anyway, download it first upon receiving CD before doing anything else.

Re: Space Empires IV Newbie
Welcome to the forums and the game. 
Right now the best mods are the TDM and the FQM.
But if you look at the forum load page, you will see a sicky at the top of this forum, (Space Empires IV, about Mods. There is also a page at Malfador about the mods.
The one that I use most often that is not a nitch mod, ie like the http://astmod.com is the Fyron Quadrant Mod Delux, and Proportions.
The TDM mod has great AI, and should be considered for any serious single player games. But the AI is transferable to any mod. You just have to do it.
The best thing about SEIV is the fact that YOU can easily mod just about any aspect of the game that you want.

Re: Space Empires IV Newbie
As was already said, don't be afraid to ask anything on this forum, regardless of how stupid it may seem to you. Nobody has ever been flamed here for asking a question even if it was asked already 500 times. And believe me, you will have some questions because there are so many roads that lead to Rome in SE4.

Re: Space Empires IV Newbie
Don't forget to check the Newbie FAQ, which is stickied at the top of this forum. It has lots and lots of answers in it and could save you some time when looking for answers. |

Re: Space Empires IV Newbie
I too heard about SEIV from the MOO3 site. This thread is exactly the one I wanted to post. Thanks for all the answers.
