And it just stalled after I wrote that, looks like strategyfirst is pulling the demo back as none of the other mirrors works now either
The krypt mirror in us works!
Or so I thought, gave me a 340kb file

The strategyfirst.ca link works fine. Use a download manager.

Tried the demo
Well if you like the 4 you'll like this one, however it still needs a lot of polishing.
The interface is rough, it misses some important feature (like the adjust research till the next level option ) and iit has quite a few bugs and crashes
The potential though is all there and with mods that could become a masterpiece like the 4 was !
To download the demo i recommend the torrent, is quite fast and works well (was posted on original forums)

Why cant i do fullscreen? ive selected the screen size yet it remains a window....
The tutorial text is way too small actually all the text is too small , and i want to increase the window sizes of the tutorial and i cant..
No crashs , but this could become very good

This game is gonna be an awesome old-school game. Playing the demo i felt like years ago while i had fun with games like MoO2 or Master of Magic. All hose details it takes into account plus the neat graphic overhaul to the shareware-ish 4th part. I gonna get stuck with that one.

I think I'll try the demo but the gfx do look BAD.. and maybe from what I've read there's way too much to be researched as well as too many planets, they should've spent a little more time doing better gfx and reduce the game's complexity. Too much complexity + crap gfx, are not a winning formula.

Try sword of the stars, thats more along those lines, this game caters to a niche audience and you probably won't ever see it streamlined.
The next in the series will have better graphics though as there will be a professional team doing the graphics instead of just one guy, but if graphics and easy to play hard to master is your thing go play sword of the stars thats a great game aswell.

Oh, i think many of the SE IV fans, including myself will want to argue with your last sentence.
Sure: balance between complexity and looks is important, but I rather have a game stocked to the teeth with features even at the expense of shiny graphics, instead of an empty shell of Eye candy, which dies even on the newest Radeon XXX9999999 card.
The SE series always favored content over graphics.. in fact i find the new game too fancy. Aaron wanted to make it look better, but while he made it look somewhat better, he also managed to make it an UI nightmare. Then again, he always cared for what the community thought and wanted, so i think he'll have it streamlined in a patch or two.
btw: isnt it the 25th already?
