I've played Imperium Galactica quite some times and it really a cool game once you get the hang of it. One of the coolest features from the game were those small movies every time you selected a unit or building. Fantastic! Can something like that be done in SE IV: Gold (or SE IV Regular)?

Timstone,
Not yet and probably not ever. Based on writings in other threads it seems most folks wold rather Arron work on other features than graphics.

Hmm... too bad.

I was hoping for a yes and a thankyou-for-a-great-idea, but that won't be the case now I understand. Again, too bad.

Timstone,
As you get further into the game and look at the list of hopes for SE V, you will realize
"All that is does not glitter"

Gryphin ... stepping on Gandalf's lines... tsk

Timstone ... lots of stuff gets panned promptly and then re-evaluated in another way. But cooler graphics and animation generally lose. We'll see what SE5 can do.

I sure hope we hear anything soon from Malfador about SE V. I don't care for Dungeon Odessy much (is that slander?), but I can't wait for the new installment of SE.

Really ? ... I mean seriously, have you exausted all options with SE4?

Sometimes, I get a little bored with playing the AI but, the game isn't dull for me yet.

Arkcon ,
That line is from the book, "The Lord of the Rings" by JRR Tolkien. Not the movie by ...
It is in the first part of the poem, "The Riddle of Strider".
I've been quoting it since I first read the book at age 13.
The full poem is here at my web site:

where it was long befor I knew of this BBS.
(yes I'm being a bit defensive).

I'd have to echo Arkcon's comment -- I have generally played only single player vs. TDM AI. I just opened up a huge can of worms for myself by starting my first single-player game of Porportions a couple of weeks ago. The number of mods in the universe is just staggering, and I haven't even scratched the surface. If only I were independently wealthy and could devote myself 24 x 7 to SE....

I'm not wealthy, but I've come close to living next to the computer when I first got SE4.

I got a friend hooked on the demo, and he got a friend hooked, and his wife uninstalled it, something about him not doing any chores and skipping two classes one day
