I was in love with Ascendancy, a TBS, but the critics slammed it for 
mediocre AI.

Now I've been playing Space Empires IV, a great game all around, but 
aging.  I saw one critic disrespect the AI, but I think it was a fool. 
There are three difficulty levels that vary widely.  I've seen mature 
opposition at the medium level have not tried the top difficulty yet. 
He didn't mention these and I think his comments were merely to promote 
his own mod.

I've played Homeworld and Sins of a Solar Empire.  Sins of a Solar 
Empire seemed unorganized to me.  I could almost get into Homeworld but 
am also interested in what else might be good in space RTS.  I'll have 
another go at Homeworld in the meantime...
