A little info from Strategy First...

[Ed Kolis]

Well, *space combat* is real-time, but everything else is turn-based...

[Atrocities]

And if you really want a laugh, read their feature list for SEIV. Especially the Political one. Ha ha.

[Enigma]

Well the Strategy First listing has it listed as a Real Time Strategy game. Obviously that is wrong. I am not a big fan of RTS games and tend to dismiss them. So this error could cause someone who likes a turn-based strategy game to give it a pass.

Although honestly I am not sure there are too many people who prefer turn-based strategy games who have not at least heard of SEIV.

I have not been following SEV real close and was initially shocked when I saw the RTS tag. My first thought was another good strategy game ruined by making the switch to RTS. But fortunately I see that is not happening.

Certainly not an RTS.

Just to head off the common misconceptions; think of it as combat being turn based, in an SE4-simultaneous-play sort of way.

The best parts of turn based (not rushed, tactics & control, etc) and the best parts of real-time (perfect "initiative", continuum of locations, etc)

They must have fixed it today, because now it is just listed as "Strategy."

[Ed Kolis]

Says "real time strategy" to me, and yes, I did refresh...

[Captain Kwok]

I see 'Strategy' for SE:IV Deluxe and 'Real-Time Strategy' for SE:V.

[Fyron]

I swear that said V earlier!
