I do not know whats more adictive

[Trachmyr]

Absoulutely I spend more time modding than playing... infact if the game weren't moddable, I doubt we'd all still be here (at this forum), we'd be playing something else!

What I wonder, is if SE4 will survive the release of Moo3... personally, I think that the fanfare over SE4 might die out. Only time will tell...

I know for a fact I spend FAR more time modding than I do playing =) Like Kodiak, if I get past turn 50 in a game, it's a long game for me. =) When I play, I've usually got a notepad open on the other monitor making notes about tweaks and bugfixes. And of course a web browser open to this forum that I update while the computer chugs through it's turns. =)

Trachmyr: I think SE4 will survive...they're two really different games. Even MOO3 won't be as customizable as SE4 (which, to me, is one of the main reasons it's currently spanking other products)...the only customization is in-game ship design (for now). It actually is starting to sound a lot like Imperium Galactica II (which I own but have yet to play beyond the tutorials ).

Atraikius: If you need help with a few of the pics (e.g., the troops) let me know... I downloaded something on the order of five megs worth of stuff I scoured the Web for. Actually, I'll edit and send you a few pics by e-mail if it's cool.

Off the topic of addiction; how do you get your SE4 to reside in one monitor Devnullicus? On my dual-monitor setup SE4 keeps trying to straddle the monitors, which makes for very poor gameplay. Hence, I have to revert to single monitor mode and not use both of them. Consequently I have to alt-tab to keep notes on ideas, etc.

As an side note, I am using a Matrox G450 32Mb Dual Head graphics card with a pair of 21" monitors.

No idea. I don't do anything special. I suspect that it must be a graphics card driver issue. SE4 comes up on my main monitor and I can move the cursor across the screens normally. Works quite nicely for me, both at home (2 monitors, SE4 on left one), and at work (3 monitors, SE4 on the middle monitor).

Huh.

Guess I need to go back to messing around with the things some more...

Thanx.

Zen,

Yes, I wouldn't mind having those to use at least until I finish making my own
