SE IV should be played mutliplayer for a really kick behind game. It takes a very long time tough, as it is play-by-email. Nevertheless, one game lasted 212 days :w00t: (when I finally lost unfortunately) and it rocked. You have so many possibilities for offence and defense (as a human) the game can go anywhere. The AI is merciless, but unoriginal, when it is set at the highest level. This is more a game for the chess players amongst us however. There is an even better 4X game, came out last year, can't recall the name, was a big underground hit.
Anyway, I once played Stars! eight years ago and it was a lot of fun. Is this game for sale or protected ? I can't remember, played it at a friend's place.
Cheers,
Lodewijk
