Re: Abandon SE4?Opinions:Space Empires 5 screen sh
One of the things I've always appreciated about SEIV is that it doesn't sacrifice game-play to graphics. I can't argue with fancier graphics so long as that doesn't happen, and I don't need to replace hardware.
I'm happy with the idea that so much will cease to ride upon who gets the first shot, and something that sounds a bit closer to SEIII style building queues is welcome as well.

Re: Abandon SE4?Opinions:Space Empires 5 screen sh
I think that's the most important question regarding graphics, though. Is there no negative effects on gameplay at all, concerning the new graphics?
One thing I was wondering about: Will the maximum amount of ships -limit in a single battle decrease?

Re: Abandon SE4?Opinions:Space Empires 5 screen sh
I think it was mentioned that more ships will effect things because of frame rates. The more ships you have, especially ones with higher polygon counts, the more the frame rate will be affected.

Re: Abandon SE4?Opinions:Space Empires 5 screen sh
The amount of ships in a battle is not limited, but with more ships there will be a slow down due to the large amount of objects on screen to render. However, this is not much different than if you were doing tactical combat with large numbers of ships in SE:IV with movement/weapon animation on.

Also it shouldn't have much of an effect of strategic combat, only a bit of one on tactical.
