Which game is best for a n00b? SEIV or SEV?

Yah, I'm looking forward to the moment I force an alien race to surrender. I might mark it on my calendar

How easily they surrender depends on their racial traits. Some surrender more easily than others and some won't surrender at all. The prerequisite though is to destroy all of their armed ships, bases, and sats and then keep asking them to surrender while keeping their key worlds under blockade.
