Btw Brad, on the voting thread, its 34 to 27 in favor of having a same as single player multiplayer. Just incase you were curious :) We understand budgets and all this, but if you make a stable version of Elemental or FE that is the same as Single player I will send Stardock a check for One Thousand dollars. Better yet, I will fly out there, give you a thousand dollars in cash, and get you to sign my copy of Galactic Civ 2, and Elemental Special edition box set. Im dead serious.

34Y 27n as of now. + or - 2 for counting errors. A bunch of people on the fence as well, would like to try.

Oh dont give me that BS BoogieBac, you go ahead post up the numbers my friend. Which game, which platform? Lets see, 7 of us purchased Elemental because it sounded and looked great. We all know the game didnt turn out anywhere near what it said it would, and Stardock was basically lowering expectations for things like mutiplayer before the game was even released. CIV4 had a very large multiplayer community be it lan or online. Civ5s multiplayer doesnt work correctly which has

Just came from the info about FE thread, looks to me like they are going to gimp Fallen Enchantress Mutiplayer as well.

See thats it right there, SAME as Single player. Basically just co-op. Even quake was a blast co-op.

Well i prepaid for Elemental so I'm getting the next few games free I believe.

Still play Civ4 with friends every few months, great game, specially with some of the mods changes things up. I will tally up all the yes and no's saturday morning and drop a total. The funny thing is, if Stardock had come out and just said hey, we are not having multiplayer, or hey we are retarding multiplayer becase a.b.c.d. I would have been like whatever no worries. But we actually bought multiple copies and had a 6-8 person lan centered around playing it multiplayer. Granted at t

I would have made it a poll but not sure how to do that :) Also I dont think its biased at all towards MP. Infact if anything id say it was the other way around. Think of how many MP focused players probably said I will check back later and hope for the best. Whatever your poision may be, LAN/Online, PBEM, or Hotseat, the versions should be true to the single player game and not cut down knock offs. When I play these games its normally LAN, randomly online, but only with frien

I have read random people stating the amount of people wanting multiplayer is probably around 1% and although a lot of people who are very pro multiplayer, no longer frequent the forum often anymore, im curious. If Elemental had a true stable Multiplayer with all the single player bells and whistles, would you want that, simple Yes or No. Yes.

Lets see StarCraft 2 good but a little boring. Vegas worked fine. Civ 5 works but doesnt work. EWOM still doesnt have working multiplayer and you guys seem to be avoiding giving an update for it.

Gotta gree with Eddie this is really getting sad, and they dont seem to be able to update us to what the long term goals are. About 6 of us bought the game pre release to play multiplayer, and its embarassing to even try. Its kinda funny a few of us were at best buy this weekend and actually saw a copy of EWOM on the shelf, we had a little laugh over what the box said the game did. 2 to 16 my....

Elemental has the change to be a better game then Civ5. Currently Single player to Single player they dont have enough polish to even compare atm. MP in CIV5 is lazy and broken. But Elemenatals doesnt function right either. Companies have alot to do before a game comes out, and its a long process. But few companies are getting it done consistantly anymore.

Well everyones obsession with Modding isnt helping. How often do you get to play a mod that is 100% done? Theres a reason theres not a large indie game market, and finished mod market. A-D-D

Well if they give us a full mutiplayer version of single player we can mod it anyway we want. Much easier to start from the top and work our way down, then start with a half done version and work our way up.

Anyone feel like they are specifically ignoring this particular question? ;) lol surrounding the AI and taking all there planets in one go isnt very sporting, what difficulty are you playing on, higher difficulties they dont let you get that close without responding.

Indeed

Stardock any word on MP?

Dont get me wrong :) if they told me today they were scrapping Elemntal for a multiplayer version of GalCiv2 id cry tears of joy. GC2 is probably one of my fav games of all time.

Hey I have posted this question numerous times in the mutiplayer area since the game went live, and still no real updates on mutiplayer. Multiplayer has basically been a sore topic im guessing, and Brad even went out of his way prior to multiplayer release to torch this game because he didnt believe this genre was fun to play mutiplayer. Now obviously plenty of people play these games multiplayer, just look at Civ5 steam numbers. Theres plenty of people on playing multiplayer and CIV5

BTW you will find even with Civ5s pathetic mutiplayer there is a very high number of players.

Bump :)

:) well yes it does. On the website too. However... i meant like for real real and not for play play :)

True multiplayer, as in Single Player, but with more humans and less AI? Even if you guys posted from time to time you were at least wanting to make single and mutiplayer essentially the same game, and that you are working on it that would be nice. Tom

Amen :)
