For the most part, I enjoy Space Empires because...

It's so customizable. It feels like I can create my own space game...something that I've always wanted (wished) I could do.

It's a secret. It's not published by a big company and it's not in every store. There's not millions of players, but a well defined group of people who enjoy playing the game. Just the right amount of people, so that we can still have a direct impact into what goes into the game. I think it's cool.

FOR EXAMPLE:

I live in Toronto with 5 million people. I do not know of anyone else in this forum (or community) who is also from Toronto.

(Suicide Junkie is in Kitchener-Waterloo and there was someone else from Peterborough - but I think that's as close as they get!)

Yeah, I'm that 'Peterborough' guy

I love this game for 3 things: the customization ease(&moddability), the community and PBW. Without these 3 I would probally be back at BOTF or Ultimate Civ.

I love SE4 as it allows me to play the kind of game I love against the guys I grew up with. While legally Canadian, I haven�t lived there for five years, yet I can still enjoy thrashing (hopefully) the guys I knew as a kid. As we all played MOO and Empire and such games, we all think we are pretty good at them and this is the best way to settle the matter.

Here you go a player from Oshawa. And the guy sitting right next to me in the cube is from Scarbrough. P.S. Don't introduce SEIV to people at work and play PBEM games with them. It kills about 1 hour day talking about Last nights turn.
