As new player, you could play a challenging epic game, I'm sure.
Just pick 10-12 TDM races, give them high bonus, high computer player difficulty, select 3 starting planets, and play in a large galaxy (you could play a game with 255 systems if you wish, just changing the settings.txt line Maximum Number Of Systems := 100 to 255).
Do not play with neutrals (too easy to capture them an use their people in doomed colonies).
If you want more challenge, you can:
a) select to play a game with 5000 points to create the empire, and then, pick 2000 points yourself (then all the AI players will have 5000 pionts).
b) Select AI vs humans. This is not funny in terms of diplomacy (and anyway this is one of the weak poins of SE4), but you will get the ultimate challenge.

Re: A Moo3 Reject
Thx, I'll try those settings soon as I get SE4. Just ordered it, so I'll just stare at my Moo3 box until SE4 arrives

Does the box give more entertainment value than the game itself?

Re: A Moo3 Reject
Welcome to SE4, you will surely enjoy the game, the game has numerous good features, tremendous modders, and a friendly forum where flaming is not very well looked upon. all the mods are excellent and well done and the modders are always upgrading them and adding new ones,
stop in at the cantina and have a brewski or two on GT's tab

Re: A Moo3 Reject
Since I play mostly Proportions mod, this is the one I recommend.

Proportions my friend, Proportions. If you want something that feels as real as an strategy game can be, Proportions is the one for you.
Once you get on board, there is no coming back.

Well, you can take things to another level without saying bye-bye to single player and/or firing up the mods. If you've been playing your combat scenarios using hands-on tactical mode, try strategic mode.
I haven't gone there (yet) myself. But based off of the postings I see regarding strategic combat -- what with all of the subtleties of setting your strategies, formations, ship mix, etc. -- it sounds like it opens up a whole new dimension of challenge. It's probably a little more in line with what MOO3 had in mind: you give your fleet vague orders, and hope like hell that they do their job right.

I have been told that FQM (esp. the Deluxe Version) is a good mod to play. You can even merge it with other mods, as per the info in the help folder.
