I also have the mod broken into manageable download sizes.

File 1 of 4
File 2 of 4
File 3 of 4
File 4 of 4

Win R File Archiver Is the one that I use and is, IMHO, one of the best.

Atrocites, Fyron! Do you have no Conscience??!!

We all know how addictive SEIV is anyway, And you give him all this at once? We�ll never see this guy for months, Years even. I've heard of Kindness can Kill but... [img]/threads/images/graemlins/Grin.gif[/img]

Welcome DC!

If you are going to be using the FDQ to get familiar with the game then please be sure to check back with us after your first is completely done -- @ July or so I'd say hahaha. I'm playing a practice solo game getting familiar with the end game technologies and how to use them....I'm @ 110 turns into the game on an FDQ map, Mid-Life Dense, and still have 1/4 of the map to explore, (I don't just cozy up to any Alliance for resupply you know~~~). Playing semi-focused, watching TV during a turn sporadically, and micro-managing my moves and economy costs me 1-2 hours per turn at this point.

I recommend that you just throw yourself into a PBW game, while learing with a faster paced solo game along the way. Your solo game will allow you to anticipate a bit in the PBW game, and get you familiar with some of the differences right away. (Like communications and ship building/movement -- all will seem delayed to you at first in PBW compared to Solo).

Oh...and just take it for granted that your first couple of games in PBW will find you in the position of simply colonizing planets for the Veterans hehehe....

Well I cannot speak for Fyron, but if I have scared him off, I sincerely do apologies as my fondness for SEIV sometimes compels me to be brutally honest about my preceived addition.

I respectfully add to Gandalph's warning that:

"You should not engage in SEIV if self-employed, or in any other circumstance where productivity is linked directly to financial gain."

It is always fun to see someone new enjoying this great game. Welcome.

To Atrocities:
Thanks will likely get them tonight, much easier to get in bits!

To Everyone:
Just wanted to thank everyone for the comments and information.

I will try to pop my head out in a few months one I've gone through all this stuff. *grins* I have a basic familiarity after playing the demo, but I'm sure its a bit different in the full game...so I am sure I have quite a bit to learn still.

Once again, thanks everyone for your comments! And no, I haven't been scared off yet...

Thanks.
