Space Empires 4

Strategy and Wargaming Game from Shrapnel Games, by Malfador Machinations

Space-based strategy game. This is the first game in the series to be a commercial release, rather than a share ware release, although it can only be purchased from the publisher's website. You select a race with the aim of taking it to galactic domination. You can play against the computer or another person by hot-seating or email. The gameplay involves resource management, colonizing new planets, research and development, and combat. You can opt to have battles decided by the automatically. The game offers a lot of depth but the graphics and sound could be better. It also features a lot of customization options. The control system is effective.
