I would suggest that you download the demos for both games. Even if you are unfortunate enough to have dial-up internet (like me) and it will take many hours, it is well worth it to check them out, plus look at the opinions of the people here. I'd also advise you to make a thread over at galciv.com and get their opinions. Then again, they may not even know what SEIV is, so maybe they won't be able to compare
.
Personally, I would suggest you go with SEIV. I have literally played well over 1000 hours, probably a lot more playing SEIV, and I've probably put only about 50 into GalCiv. It's a good game, for the first couple of games. Then it becomes boring to be honest.
If you want a good summary of the respective strengths and weaknesses, Fyron's post below has a very good summary.
