I refuse to believe that this game. with its half rushed features. missing features. and poor 4x user interface was made by the same people who made Galactic Civilizations 2.

This game is missing many core features of a 4x genre that Galactic Civilization 2 has. I wonder if releasing this game was just a ploy to increase sales for Galactic Civilizations 2. its like there saying "Hey! buy this 4x game here. get frustrated with how annoying it gets with all the little things. and then go back to playing GalCiv2, thats the 4x game we got right!"

the sad thing is if you go onto Gamefaqs .com and read the the post about this game. lots of them say how this game made the go back and play Age of wonders or some other 10 year old game that did get it right. Me personally. this game is making me go play Civilization: Alpha Centuri until civilization V comes out. which is TOMORROW!!!

Sorry Stardock, you got this one way wrong!, which consodering you made GalCiv2 I can believe you could mess this up so Bad. Ill check back with update 1.1, because i know 1.09 wont do nearly enough.

Its still sad. I liked Space empires 4 better than GalCiv 1, but when the space empires 5 vs GalCiv2 came out. i jumped shipped to galciv2 because it was so much better were as SE 5 needed weekly patch updates and it still sucked. Now it seems stardock went the way of Malfador (the makers of Space Empires) and released a game that needs weekly patch updates because they got it so wrong. only theres no competion to jump ship to. I was with malfador because SE 4 was such a great game over GalCiv 1, I jumped shipped to Stardock because GalCiv 2 was vastly superior to SE 5, Now thank you to sidmeir because now i can jump ship again. .....side note....If you like Sins of a solar empire, space empires 4 is the Turnbased 4x version of alot of ideas in Sins of a solar empire. at least i think so....

GOODBYE ELEMENTAL, IM JUMPING SHIP TO SID MEIR... AGAIN / I'll check back in a couple weeks to see if you eventually got it right. or maybe the Mighty have Fallen and stardock is going the way of Malfador, if you dont know Malfador made Space empires 4 and as a company they had so much potential but they sucked it up with Space Empires 5 and they never made a comeback since, and now there just some low grade indie develpoer that nobody has ever heard of. I hope that doesnt happen to stardock i really do, but...
