There's also Distant Worlds, a real RT4X game. Like you noted. Sins of a Solar Empire is far too simple. Star Ruler is pretty nice, but you do get rushed in it so you have to build quickly.
@JorikoStar The only downside of Star Ruler is that it almost has no actual gameplay whatsoever. Of course that argument was thrown at Distant Worlds too thanks to the heavy automation possible, but at least Distant Worlds has massive gameplay depth there in the first place :)
I still miss Space Empires 5 though, but with the horrific interface and the fact that it runs at 5fps on modern computers, i simply cant stand 10 minutes of it :(
I was one of the beta testers for this game. Too bad it killed the franchise. SE IV is so much more fun than this one. Although SE V is without a doubt one of the best 4x game to ever come out. SE IV was just more fun.
Love this game, but i am a bit sad that very few people know about it. I personaly think that it's better than sins of a solar empire which is one of the few other space RTSs I've played. People realy need to be educated onthe existence of this game.
@Submisssioned Try Star Ruler, It's essentially an RTS version of Space Empires 5, albeit with a smaller tech tree, and less species abilities. On the upside, however, the game is still in development and is constantly being improved. Additionally, it has a small but devoted fanbase that constantly adds mods to the game.
@karry299 I don`t see any problem on making a LP of SEV or maybe SEIV! They are a "little" long games... ...but theese are the small budged games that REALLY deserve attencion! Such a cheap game with so much depth! Well diplomacy is a bit what it is... ...but it is the same thing IRL =) Pleace do more of this!
It takes you over 1 whole minute to click the New Game button. There's something seriously wrong with that.

@JHONYOBRAVA
I tried to like Sins of a solar empire but I could do it.
Whats this game truely about? Graphics? gamedepth? There is not much. I my opinion.
: 3 Races...than sucks! I want at least 6 - 7 or more with random abilities. like this game.
:Ship limits? Its a SPACE game. SPAAAACE...a very very big thing ;). Has more room than 20 ships or so.
: Graphics. A colored cube shoots stuff on another cube. voilá !
:Civilization management? not really. like in GC2 or MOO2/3

You should show gameplay instead of talking over your name, thoughts and images... Just bla bla bla.

This is probably the worst possible game to do an LP of, but i guess it might be interesting to see you "settle in" the game.
BTW, if your version came packaged with SpaceEmpires 4 Deluxe - play that instead, its better in every possible way. With mods, of course.

I've seen some LPs done of MoO and MoO2 and Galciv II, so nice to see someone doing one of the SE games. Now if only there was one of Stars!
