Any One Still Playing This Game?

[Q]

I do still play SE IV although at the moment less than I thought I would.
I like very much the new combat emgine of SE V, but when the still numerous bugs or limitations frustrate me I return to SE IV. In the end the quality of the AI will decide if I play more SE IV or SE V.
SE IV is a game I modded to my likings and I am not sure that I will learn to do this for SE V, especially if it involves the AI.

To be fair, if you compare SEIV to SEV then you need to do it using the vanilla clean-install version of SEIV. I actually did play a fresh install recently and personally I do think I enjoyed it more (I definetly played it longer) than my copy of SEV.

I suspect that I will not be thrilled with SEV anyway but I withhold my final judgement until I can play it as the same game I have in SEIV.
