Re: Getting Burned Out
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

Re: Getting Burned Out
Thank you all, your comments are right on the money.
Thanks GE, I look forward to it.

Re: Getting Burned Out
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!

Re: Getting Burned Out
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.

Re: Getting Burned Out
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.

Re: Getting Burned Out
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.

Re: Getting Burned Out
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...
