Up to date beta patch info..

[Lerchey]

Jourin,

Well said. And I could not agree more. I've been a SE IV beta tester from the outset, and Aaron at Malfador LISTENS and FIXES things when they are broken. Further, suggestions are listened to, and when both practical and good, are added to the game.

In fact, while it's somewhat off topic, I'd say that this is true of all of the game producers that Shrapnel distributes for. I'm also a WDK 2K beta tester and Boku Strategy Games is just as good. They enchance and improve their products constantly - taking guidance and feedback from their customers.

THIS is how game companies should be run.

Is SE IV incomplete? Yes, in ways it is. The AI is mediocre, but the game is FULL of tech and features. And as a PBEM game (which I prefer; my lack of dedicated time for gaming makes RTS impractical for me) it's excellent.

If you want to complain about some aspect of the game, don't ***** at each other on the forum. TELL the people at Malfador. It's their product and they DO listen.

Flame off.
