February 25^th, 2004 (12:00am) - In between coding his next masterpiece and saving the world from ancient eldritch horrors (the coding gig does tend to pay more and involves less ichor) Aaron Hall of Malfador Machinations has found time to release a spanking new patch for the award-winning megahit, Space Empires IV Gold. The patch, available at Shrapnel Games, may be downloaded here: http://www.shrapnelgames.com/malfador/SEIVGold/6.htm

This latest patch adds several enhancements that any fan of the game will surely appreciate. The changes includes a new intro screen, new abilities for the mod makers out there, and coolest of all, Space Empires IV Gold now has mousewheel support! Additionally, there have been some tweaks to the overall game to massage some perceived play balance issues. A full history of changes can be found online at the same location as the download.
