Multiplayer Hot Seat ?

HOT SEAT ??

June 6, 2006 2:51:07 PM from GalCiv II ForumsGalCiv II Forums
Hot Seat woudl be very easy to program, but would like to see the multiplayer content added, I tried to reply in or add comment to main topic but it woudl not let me kept saying i must be logged on lol .. well i am obivously logged in, since i can make a comment here or create a post.

So it sounds like Multiplayer is dead , cause people would not pay for it ? but yet you ofereing a free expansion , now if you asked on the poll how many would like to see multiplayer / or hot seat for free ? would it have been different , but i m sure there were lots of peps that bother with the poll or such .

I think multiplayer woudl open up a new avenue, and generate more people buying the game , would be nice to see, as one player game with nice ai's it is okay not quite what i envisioned for MOO 3 Replacement, at least it is better solo game then MOO 3 .. Not sure where you get your stats, at but Multiplayer Avenue is huge market, the possiblity for more revenue by adds on the site peps connect to play, etc etc. My budds didn't buy the game cause of NO Multiplayer , and the possilbitly seem nil at the point from the forums. there is my 2 cents , i m sure i will be bashed by the non multiplayer crowd but the addedd challenge is so much greater, then any AI could ever envision, and if peps had to leave the game early simply have AI take over. Turn based is the easiest way to create a multiplayer game cheaply, I m very surprised that your team doesnt' seem willing to take such on. From what i have seen is that you have lots talented people there , with your icon builders, object desktop etc etc.

Well signing off .
**** Thanks for all the Fish ,

I, personally, enjoyed this feature in previous games. Me and a few friends would meet once or twice a week and get together for a few hours and play a game. Now all we do, if we dont go to a bar or something, is either Warhammer 40k or some board games, etc, on occasion.

Even if it was tcp-ip or through internet or lan i would enjoy it. I know many people online who want to do a game in this and i know will be dedicated to finish it.

I, for one, will be playing Space Emipres 5 when it comes out if multiplayer isn't added. That is, especially now more than ever, the single most important feature in a game. People bitch about "oh they will have to do balancing or nerfing", EVERY topic i see about the metaverse has people allrady crying for balancing or nerfing, so i see no difference.

I need the strategy multiplayer fix NOW.

I think Hot seat might be a good idea, if you use cheats you can have it now.

I'm also in the group asking for multiplayer... if multiplayer is not added many multiplayer gamers will be sending their money to the developers of Space Empires 5 or another space game.

From my experience the difference between multiplayer and singleplayer in games: singleplayer is like being on the tennis court and returning shots from a tennis ball shooter_(computer_AI)... multiplayer is like playing tennis matches with family and friends which is not only more fun, but immensely more challenging as well.
I feel sorry for those stuck with only singleplayer.

I would not use it but if it will keep so many peaple happy then mabey a SIMPLE hot seat mode that dosen't take too much work might be a good idea.

That's it. If multi-player is added then I'm going to go outside and, um, sit under a tree and read or something. Maybe I might even have an actual conversation with my friends about something important in life. That'll teach Stardock not to even think about adding multi-player.

The threats go both ways here.

There was already a poll about multiplayer - most of us dont want it. Stop beating a dead horse
