I know that you wrote it's only your opinion, but can't avoid to write my own opinion here, ok?

Don't think the SEIV AI sucks badly!!!

For example, I think the AI of Moo3 sucks badly because can't give you a fight even with hard bonuses. Moo and Moo2 (I loved those games) AI's sucks badly if you consider that the AI cheat a lot.

Then, considering the SEIV AI doesn't cheat, can't agree that sucks badly.
Sure, it's not Deep Blue but using the TDM Modpack and AI bonuses, think still can give you a fight.
I consider myself an experienced SEIV player, and stil I play (and sometimes lose)games against the AI.

Agree here with you.

Also, I agree that the multiplayer makes this game GREAT.

About the TTomm46 questions: just want to say that after more of 2 years playing SEIV, it's the game with the best money spent / time playing ratio! (Second should be Moo2).

I like Galactic Civilizacions and this game has a better AI than SEIV. Interesting, but can't remember the Last time I've played this game (maybe 4 months!) but still I'm playing SEIV...
Anyway, I think GC it's a good game but less deep than SEIV.

As some probably have deferred from some of my Posts, I'm a cheapskate. If it's over probably $20, then I will wait for the price to come down. But I got so frustrated over the demo, that I did pay the $45 + the postage, and I haven't regretted a penny of that yet. This is a great game, and so moddable, that if you ever finish one game, there's about a dozen mods to try after that. And some of these mods get constantly updated. Also, this forum is so good at helping you understand the game. If I had a question, all I had to do was post it, and you'll get a reply probably in the same day. So I'm glad you're buying this game.
