Did you ask Tom Henrik about it, or look at the OldWarez search engine they just implemented on the main site?

I'll PM Tom and ask. SEIV won't show up on the old warez search, but I guess it's not complete yet.

I thought that when they stop creating more CD's and selling them it could be seen as abandonware, but judging by the comments I guess there are more factors involved than that (apart from ESA).
*edit*
Ok, seems like they're planning to sell it again. Far from Abandoned then
It also seems like SE5 is reaching completion...

At least the AI seems decent enough to give a little challenge. Even tough I made countless mistakes in my first ever game and I was still managing to win even while being the less techlonogical driven player out there...

You see Dakasha, any 4x game need a good AI. If it doesn't have one, the game is automatically crap. That's why Ascendancy is really boring to play with.I don't think SE4 have an incredibly good AI, at least that's the impression I got with the demo.
Since the demo is limited to 100 turns, I don't see a reason why the full game would be better...

Stars! AI is decent enough too.
The main grudge I got for SE4 when it comes for AI is to continually build and send single ships against my own armada(s). Even one on one with an inferior ship I usually win using tactical combat, so...
Problem with AI's is that they are very previsible...

there are some custom races that have some great AI... its all in a txt file that you can change.
and yes ascendancy really really sucked because of the AI... even with that patch. another problem with SEIV is if you wanna challenging game you play against a human but the multiplayer mode is stupid.
