The other big forum polled the age. It started about 35 then dropped to 29. Still pretty good for a game. Both games seem to reflect whats a higher average age than usually associated with games. Must be the strategy emphasis?

Sure, the strategy emphasis has to be a part of it. Another part is the length of time it takes to learn the game. Most kids just don't have the patience. Then after finally gaining the expertise necessary to beat the AI, you log on to PBW and find out that you're just a weenie in that realm. No wonder there are gray heads in this place.

Re: OT: How old are you ?
Not enought patience...hah! I just turned 17 on April 27. And I've been playing SEIV for about 3 years...and SE3 before that...and SE2 before that!!
But yeah, most kids wouldn't like this game. They'd have to actually think!

Yes I would not say the strategy part shuts out younger people. It just makes the few who can really handle it into a rare commodity. Most of the ones I know are more into "reaction" games that are alittle more what I call "joystick" (where they totally kick my tail). Its the long-thinking strategy games where I can get even with them (hopefully due more to my skill than the fact that they tend to wander)

Re: OT: How old are you ?
RD: 18 is worth looking forward to. We'll have to have another birthday celebration in September (we're only 5 days apart). Anyone else still not fully recovered from the great 2002 Tigg-scoff birthday bash?
There are still certain shades of green that trigger hallucinogenic flashbacks of giant squid and champagne-squirting antipodean popstresses in me...
EDIT: Just reviewing this thread- I miss GrowlTigga
