New Multi-player review on Civfanatics

[CanuckSoldier]

Yes, some members of the Civ Community are writing articles to help the community after the game is released, things that can't be put in a "preview". Previews are nice gifts to the community but won't generally help you play the game any better, the articles that will help you understand the mechanics and understand the indepth strategy and tactics are yet to come.

CS: it's only a matter of days until the first strategy reports come out. some from beginners (eg. "how to win on warlord level") and some from geniouses (eg. "deity level is just not a challenge if...")

looking forward to your and F-Ps "rushing in civ4 MP" and "best civ4 MP traits" and "best civ4 MP UUs" threads

[Fried-Psitalon]

Fear not, most of them are already written. I'll be releasing them simultaneously here and on Civ4Players over a few days time after release.

[GeoModder]

But those are made for Beta-versions!

[Fried-Psitalon]

I think you'll find them highly accurate. Rather: I know you will.

[GeoModder]

No worries, just teasing.

[Fried-Psitalon]

Actually, historically my articles have gotten a rather...frigid... welcome here at Apolyton, but I'm hoping to turn that around. (Hunt through the old C3C forum if you care enough to find them.)

Very short, but interesting article nontheless.

I strongly believe that any strategy articles posted by Fried will apply just as well to SP games, we may not address specific AI strengths and weekness, but good MP strategies are bound to work equally well again an AI civ.

As for me, my prose will focus much more on CIV interface and MP technical issues in combination with players computer/network issues. I'll leave the grand strategy articles to the english teacher

Canuck and I actually have historically made a pretty good team - he gets your machine running for MP, I tell you what to do with it after he does. I'm clueless for the first bit, though.

settler has 2 MP (haven't noticed this before)

I was waiting for someone to notice that.

And, in the game with GBM, we had to attack a certain way to show you some of those nice screenshots.
