there's some more victory conditions. of the top of my head, peace for X number of years, X times the second place player's score, X score.

try the demo. it'll tell you more than my bad memory can.

You can set any number of victory conditions in the game setup window. After you click "New Game" in the intro screen, look down the list of game parameter buttons and find the one for victory conditions. Click that and that menu will come up. You can set it for Last being standing, point total, time expires, etc etc...

Thanks for the quick answers.
I already tried the demo, but didn't pay attention to the victory conditions as i never finished a game within 100 turns anyway.
It's good to know, cos i don't like to wipe out the entire galaxy.

Is there a good place to find the different mods, like Babylon 5, Star Wars, Star trek or even Galactica? i find it quiet difficult to search these on these Boards.

Welcome to the forum Eel

SEIV (against the AI) is not strong on diplomacy so there is no such thing as a �Cultural� victory or a �Galactic counsel� like some other 4X games have.

However, If you like deeeeep strategy games, and don�t mind a bit of micromanagement, SEIV is the way to go. The demo is a good way to start, but the AI�s in the demo suck compared to the best usermade AI�s (TDM modpack). And for even deeeeper strategy, try the challenge of playing humans at PBW

Edit: Oups, must learn not to take coffee brakes while typing

For mods, just look in the sticky "Important SEIV Information & stuff" on the top of the page.

Thanks...

Just wondering, SE4 came out almost 4 years ago, and then Starfury...does someone have a guess on when SE5 will be released?
