Just noticed an anomaly (where is my flagship? ) A number of people have answered to the poll question "How important is multiplayer for turn based strategy game to you?" with the fourth answer "Very important - won't buy games without it". Of course they never buy TBS games without multiplayer, yet they have bought Galciv2... Hmmm... I get it now. The game was a gift.

Whatever. What I really wanted to say is that the poll questions/answers should be better thought out. For me personally, I do not want multiplayer for GalCiv2, or rather I prefer if devs spent their time on improving the AI. Yet, it depends on a game. For instance, I was seriously disappointed that Total War Series does not have strategy level multiplayer. Or as another example: Battle for Wesnoth (a freeware game) would be much less appealing without the multiplayer.
