One thing though I am willing to wait for is a solid game.  I think 
Space Empires V might have been rushed because it is not as neat and 
clean as Space Empires IV.  I want Dominions IV to be well-tested and 
thorough.

Hmmm, I actually thought, after a little bit of initial 'wtf' that SE 5 
was not a bad looking, or bad playing game. The real problem is that the 
gfx programming has some shortcoming that means it runs like pigshit 
flowing down a straw on modern OS or cpus, not sure which one is the 
problem. SE 4 runs a lot better. I can't remember right now if I've 
tried SE 5 on Win 8 yet, on Win7_64 it's unplayable. Wish someone would 
figure out how to fix it.

-P.

I never did like SEV as well as SEIV. I think going eye-candy killed off 
the modding that made SEIV work.

As far as Dominions 4 I am sure it will be well tested and thoughrough. 
They did good with Dom3. 

Altho it is a completely new test crew. So I dont know.
