Atrocities,
I have just updated my Borg variant, Romulans, Klingon and Shadows races, and have produced AI for the Praetorian, Jraenar and UkraTal.
Am doing doing a final v1.49 play test but I promise you that they are good researchers and expand like berzerko.
I recommend that you give them a go once released!

Regards,
GE

Thank you all, your comments are right on the money.

Thanks GE, I look forward to it.

I go through phases. There are certain times where I'm more into playing the game, other times where I'm into modding or building bits and pieces of shipsets that I never finish. Every once in a while I lose interest for a few weeks - but that is usually because I don't have a lot of time to be as involved as I would to be.

Captain Kwok = Captain Spoogy

Just thought I would mention that. I'm working on a new project (race) for Space Empires IV. It's a bit more time consuming since I decided to model my own image map textures for my shipset. Who knows when or if it will ever get done!

If you want to make a single player game a real challenge and mentally challenging - try playing it with your race being completely controlled by the AI, and only making directions by making changes to your AI files.

Atrocities, how about getting your brother involved in a hot-seat game? pick and tweak say 6-7 AI's, then have computer pick again on high level, aggresiveness then the two of you go at it??? Hot seat w/friends (maybe before the game) is even better then PBW. I play hotseat every Sunday with 3 friends, excellent way to play this game.

just some ideas mac

I don't know if I'll get 'burned out' on SE4 anytime soon, but something tells me I'll suffer a slight lapse in playing after Civ3 comes out. I can't play two games at once, alas.

If MOO 3 comes out on schedule it will be well before the novelty of Civ 3 has worn out. Some people will go into over-load trying to play both (or all three if they know SE IV... ) and experience their new worlds. There are going to be news stories about 'computer addiction' again...
