why is SEIV so good to you?

Taera · #1 April 21st, 2003, 02:26 AM

a lot of reasons. i've been here for about eight years for now so i should have a lot of

*Great community. This is the most unique community ever, for me. And i enjoy being a part of it.
*Roleplaying - for the most part i am in the roleplaying community, be it the ladder, hadrian's projects or the SE:L. Thats actually why i came here.
*As you all said, no uber-strategy. A good example is AoE - build like 30 catapults or balistas and go, kill them. no fun.
*Each time something new: AI or human players each time i face new challenged, never repeated.
*Friends! I have a lot of friends from this community
*Strategic challenge - it it just fun to invent the way to crush that planet, kill that ship or best that fleet. Its different each time and one has to ponder to great lengths what he's doing, what he will do and what others are doing

the list could go on but those are the main parts of it.

I enjoy the game because it pushes most of my buttons:
Creativety - Ship sets - Gryphin Mod - System Names - etc....
Problem Solving - Ship Set Design - Gryphin Mod technical issues - Strategys
Human Interaction - From the Gryphin Growltigga thread to everyone here and then some
Humor - All kinds
Excitment - All kinds
Sex - The Gryphin Positon and Circle the Wagons and a certain ship set, (still under constructon) I can't release to the public.
A Chance to Help People - Major source of personal satisfaction
Educaiton - History, Culture, Sports, Science ect...
And all of the reasons listed below and yet to be listed.

For me SE4 is like a dream come true. A game that i can play as slow as I want, with a zillion diferent paths to follow, and that estimulates my imagination. You may think that i'm crazy, but i actually tell myself stories about my race when i'm playing (and sometimes even when I'm not playing

)
Customization is mindblowing, if a computer inpaired halfbrain like me can mod this game then anyone can. For example, I didn't like my race ability to colonize Ice and Gas planets without domes, and guess what?, I just eliminated Ice and Gas planets with Oxygen atmosphera. As simple as that. If I had to pick one word to describe this game it would be Amazing.
