Where to buy SE4 Gold?

Zetler, believe me...... Buy the game, and get addicted in 3 hours.

Tons of 'FREE' Mods, Shipsets, maps and above all plenty off players who are willing to play on PBW with you (the players are also for free)

Think of it this way... for 40 bucks, you get what, 10? 20? quite different games (in the form of mods). Mods like Pirates and Nomads (play a pirate or nomadic race), Proportions (slows gameplay down to a more psuedo-realistic pace, makes it take lots of time to get colonies developed, stresses homeworld), Star Trek Mod, Babylon 5 Mod, Star Wars Mod, Devnull (has nasty space monsters that will always give a challenge), Adamant (play as a magic wielding race, a race that evolves organic ships, or a normal "physical" race), Starfire, Highliner, Starfleets, and so on. Each mod offers unique gameplay, giving SE4 a lot more replayability than 99+ percent of games on the market, even if you only play a few mods.

If you want different sounds, check out Tampa Gamers Sound Mod, which can be found on SpaceEmpires.net. If you want different shipsets, there are 270+ of them out there to pick from. Check out the SE4 Race Directory. There are a few alternate game interface "mods" out there, such as TNZ Interface Mod and Eclipse Interface Mod. There are tons of custom component, facility, planet, star, etc. images as well in the Image Mod. There are lots of custom graphics available. Using them is really easy. Modding is really easy, as all the data is stored in simple, easy to edit text files.

I think you'd make a good salesman Fyron

I already played the demo four times. I'll try to hold out two more weeks for a deal but if not my addiction will force me to buy this game at full price LOL

Not sure what the heck 4X games are but I'm loving this one. Makes me wonder how popular it could become if developer have access to a few artist to help the game reach it's full potential.

4X: eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, eXterminate. It is the genre of strategy games in which SE4 is a member, as are other space opera games (such as MOO2, Stars!, GalCiv (sort of), etc.).

You passed the event horizon when you played the demo the first time. You just didn't notice. You are now falling faster as you are being sucked in to the black hole known as SE4 Gold. Not even light can escape. But who is complaining? The company is great.

Slick.

If you think this game has bad graphics, you should look at the former 4X champion Stars. Now that game was a great game, but it had the worst graphics I have ever seen.


Welcome to the fold and I hope the game grows on you.
