Well the multiplayer voting poll is finished... we should see the posted results either today or tomorrow. edit: There's definitely an eerie silence as gamers wait for the results.

I'm on the side of the SP'ers due to many bad times with Multi. Multi seems to attract folks who want nothing more than to have the highest rank no matter the cost. The game no longer matters. Loosing is not an option to the majority of them. Cheating/exploits can and will be used to further this goal. While SP lacks the social aspect from the few good MP'ers that I've com

While I voted against a $20 Multiplayer only expansion pack, I wouldn't mind buying an expansion pack where multiplayer was enabled in addition to things like tactical spacebattles and a larger, more intertwined, techtree. The POLL is up to see precisely who is interested in multiplayer. No company would release a multiplayer only expansi

Yes many of us await the multiplayer option providing us HOTSEAT, PBEM and LAN... because of cheaters and quitters I doubt most serious players would trust multiplayer online with strangers. If multiplayer does get added... I guarantee just like every other game which has multiplayer... there will be so many players a seperate multiplayer forum will be needed. Like others I eagerly await to buy the game once multiplayer has been made availabl

So you're saying that there might be an expansion pack coming up? Actually I read within an interview that two expansion packs are coming up for this game. Hopefully one of the ten new features will be multiplayer. <img src="http://images.stardock.com/gc2/T_DL/smiles/BigSmile.gif" bord

Pax imperia was made in 1993 (same year as masters of orion). It was TBS, it had an extremely cool ship-designer (specially for that time) AND it had multiplayer support for hotseat and lan up to 16players!! I'm sure other multi TBS's excist. There are lots of people who just don't mind the waiting in between 'cuz they're sharing a game with a mate. I don't want to play on

Reply to Time to acknowledge the game is buggy ? in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I don't see it mentioned.... but how many with this problem have tried doing a windows clean boot and then try playing the game?? Anti-virus software I would recommend be disabled as well... heck you shouldn't be on the internet while in the process of playing a single player game anyways thus no harm here.

Or how about this for an alternative to a MP option: Adaptive/Learning AI. Instead of sacrificing things to play against another player, why not the ability that the strategies used by the people playing the game will be recorded and have the AI pick and use these strategies in gameplay as well. That way even though you are not

[i]Tolorion [/i][/ i will buy this game when you finally add a multiplayer option. and for those who don´t like multiplayer: use single player. I completely agree and will do the same.

And many of them have complained about a lack of MP as a flaw, costing the game a bit in the final score. Why, is it necessary? The pro MP crowd would say YES! But I think it more likely just the current 'fad'. Everything must be MP, because it must. Personally it doesn't matter to me the original release didn't have multiplayer... gi

There are definitely those that say that lacking MP is a flaw. I've been reading LOTS of posts and haven't seen any yet saying that "Lack of MP is a flaw." My searches haven't found any... place me some links... let's see those. I NEVER read the reviews of some website like gamespy... I speed read the reviews from other

What's in the CE version that makes it so great? yes... any extra game features??

Reply to Galactic Civilizations: The case for no multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

but I don't see how lack of MP is an outright "flaw". Where did you pull that information?? I haven't seen any posts claiming this statement. That's one wild twisted assumption.......... wait I'm sure you might find one someplace, but no where near is this the typical response in regards to multiplayer. <TABLE cellpadding

Reply to AI always surrenders to someone else in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Try this. If an AI surrenders, load back a previous save. Continue doing so and eventually (if you are on good terms) the AI will surrender to you. Its just a question of chance. That is so weak.... if you're cheating during a game then you've already lost.

I totally agree with the absence of multiplayer. I have a demanding full time job, a marriage, a golf handicap to work on and a million other things to do in my life, as well playing strategy games. As a result of that I put in about 6-10 hrs of game time a week, spread across the whole week in sessions of 30mins-2 hrs. To have try to arrange time with other players ar

Xan... check out the forums and all the topics which deal with multiplayer. Multiplayer will increase the size of this games community... which in turn will increase ' word of mouth ' about the game... which in turn will increase sales. This is good for the game in the long run... whether you like it or not.

Reply to Multiplayer in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

Based on the FAQ... multiplayer will probably be added. And the demand is so large a sticky even exists about the topic. Multiplayer will increase the size of this games community... which in turn will increase ' word of mouth ' about the game... which in turn will increase sales. Once multiplayer is added most likely the official site will have to create a forum just for multiplayer.... because so so many will be using multiplayer... as seen with other games

[i]DeadJohnny [/i] There are successful multiplayer turn based games but they tend to have very small followings. The number of topics and posts for CIV_4 forums clearly show this is wrong. I guarantee when multiplayer is released via download or expansion this game will obtain a larger community.... which means more people talking abou

In DOMINIONS_2 (TBS game) you are allowed to choose the exact location and setup of your forces.... and then when battles occur you watch the results. Does GAL_CIV2 game allow you to position the arrangements of your ships if battles do occur ?? OR Do you just select a stack of ships to travel together and stuck with whatever random setup occurs??

Luckz... that's exactly why I'm waiting for multiplayer before purchasing the game. Any singleplayer game has its replay value multiplied at least by 4_times when the multiplayer option is added.... the rare exception is for those individuals which do only singleplayer. I really do hope the singplayer individuals which do singleplayer only find other gamers for multiplayer gaming... even playing just cooperative multiplayer gaming is so much more enjoyable than singlepl

[i]travathian [/i] Its great that you have a bunch of friends to play with who probably wouldn't do this, but 99% of us can't wrangle up 3 or 4 other friends to sit down for 2-4 hours to play a game on a regular basis. That means we'd have to deal with random people off the internet. Regardless of whether its a RTS/TBS/MMORPG you still have to deal with a lot people w
