with any luck those will all be fixed with the next patch (as suggested by the 1.42 feature list). of course, the host can always cheat, so its important to trust who you play with.

My future father-in-law still has one of the old Nintendos and a copy of Mule. Interesting little game...

I am 51, a grognard. My first strategy game was Stalingrad by Avalon Hill. I enjoy the space 4X genre of computer games. Loved MOO and MOO II.

Playing SE4 with two friends by e-mail, us against the AI. The first game was interesting but not too challenging. We've changed things for our latest game. All players start with 10 homeworlds which are not the same size and races are allowed to start in same system. As we are playing team mode against computer, it means instant and immediate war with computer empires mixed in with your systems. Lots of fun so far.

I'm 17. I live in southern California in the USA. I play strategy games, namely Civilization, Space Empires III and IV, Master of Orion II (pity its not moddable), and Birth of the Federation. I'm an unemployed senior in high school.

Eh, what the heck. I'm 19, live in New Jersey and go to college in New York. My first exposure to 4X games was Spaceward Ho! There was then a long dry spell in which I played nothing of the sort (with occasional recaps to Civ 2 which I was not very good at). Then came along Rebellion. I got it, I played it, I loved it. Senior year in high school my roomie and I would play multiplayer games against each other, constantly tossing taunts and boasts back and forth in the room.

Then I rather stumbled upon Space Empires IV, gave the demo a go, and was sucked in. Simple, really.
