Do I get Gal Civ II or Space Empire V?

Do I get Gal Civ II or Space Empire V?

Downloaded the demo, love the game so far, just noiticed that SE V is suppose to be out. I asked a few questions about GC II and am excited in getting it, but didn't have money to get it. I might have it this weekend, and I am wundering do I get GC II or SE V.

The only reason I am thinking of SE V is because it's suppose to have detailed tatical space combat.

Am I really missing anything from not having any combat in CG II? I havn't got to combat yet so don't know. What do you guys think of having combat missing in this game. Is it more like Civ franchise combat wise? Or do you miss the combat like the Moo franchise?

I have no idea how the SE franchise is, but herd both good things about both series, leaning towards GC II but just want to make shure before I spend my hard earned money, and I won't be able to get anthour game in a long while.

Please give me your opinions.

Another title worth picking up is Moo3, just make sure you get it for no greater than $5.00 You will find the sotry great and the detail high. The problem though is in order to really enjoy the game you have to patch the game with user created patches. As it stands unmodified it is rather broken. But, im still on my GalCiv kick so it may be awhile before I try the SEV demo or go back to Moo. I hope they make another Moo with many of the best parts of SEV and GC2. Or perhaps a new GC with the best from Moo3 and SEV. Oh well, cant have everything in one package, so may as well play with many lol

Buying SE5 is a must for 4X fans,pretty much like Dominions3 the choices available in the game are amazing.The real time tactical battles in SE5 are the best I have seen in a 4X game,great fun.I was messsing around the simulater with alltech cheat on in the demo,try it.
