Re: Game Comparrisons.
In order that I remember playing them....
Reach for the stars - first 4X game I played, limited tech tree, no tactical combat, wasted MANY hours on it.
Pax Imperia - Don't remember if this is the name but it was on the amiga and all I recall is that it got boring and your best planetary minister always rebelled.
Stars! - Cool game in many ways but I could never really get into it. I actualy bought it as shareware and then gave my password/copy out to a friend and never played again.
Moo1 - Oh how I loved this one. I still remember having 'genocide days' when I would place a few massive ships over every one of an allies planets and then declare war. Wipe out the entire race in 1 turn. AI not bad but cheated like a mother.
Moo2 - I liked this one too, but the cheating AI again. I don't mind some cheating, the comptuer needs it I think, but the difference from easy to impossible seemed to be only production cheating. Taking out ship initative was a big mistake.
SE4 - My first SE game to date. While I like it a lot I wish the AI was a bit more challanging. TMD mod pack on moderate bonus and hard and not breaking a sweat. Seems the bonus matters in those first few turns but after that its inability to deal with mines, and rather happazard attacks make it easy to win. Think I"m going to try a game without taking any abilities myself to see how I do.
