Not if you play with good reliable players and play the game in nightly sessions of say 2-3 hours. Its very convivial.

Woohoo!!!! I got a response from a Deity. Thanks AH.
(That's really the only reason I posted)

MP can be fun but I prefer SP. But even that's not the point.

Do we know for sure that MP will not be included? Has Firaxis said anything official? (I don't know I'm asking...) Or have they just been evasive so far?

And in the end SP is the core of the game. I'm sure that most people will buy it even w/o MP. Afterall, Firaxis is a business. I'm sure they know what they'll be losing.

Ask and answered in at least three threads in apolyton/comunity forum.

Hmmm, interesting year number for a bug.

Thanks for never failing to point that out GP

Re: Actually the social side of the game was most important to me

I'll miss stuff like the time Hydey started the game in the arctic skirt and we wouldn't restart until he'd gone right around the world and found no land

"Be a man, Hydey - play the hand your dealt"

Man, I've been there...

it sucks to start there, but I stuck with it for a while Luckily there was whale in my capital's radius

Never played multiplayer anyway. Didn't even bother to buy MGE . SP is just fine for me.

[Simpleton]

I've never played multiplayer so I won't miss it. However, I may try it when the MP patch gets released. Why now? Mainly because everyone seems so upset about it not being included so there must be something to this MP thing.

[Urban Ranger]

Why MP games? Why don't you spend time with your friends and family, Horse? Are you that anti-social that the only social interactions you have are from MP games?

Personally I don't care for MP games. I can take as much time to think as I want, not harassed by incessant messages from other players.

[Madine]

MP would be nice, but when it comes down to a choice between:

1. Release game now, with no mp

2. Release game later

I perfer #1

[Nenad]

Neither did I (played MP), but I'm sure that it's going to be stunning when it finally appears. Shed no tears, MP guys, your time is coming.

[Skanky Burns]

I played an MP game once... It was ok, nothing to write home about. But im naturally inclined to be anti-social so i wont mind an SP-only game.

[Blake]

Ultimately it seems MP is just too slow and tedious, and you aren't really alone with all the cool new AI leaders

I know it seems sad thinking of AI's as company, but you only have to play CTP2 (and compare it to SMAC) to realise how important 'human' AI leaders are to a decent SP experience.

And from what I've seen Firaxis has done the Civ3 leaders right :b

To transpose a quip:

Playing SP is like peeing in a wet suit, you get a warm feeling but no one gets to know.

In any case, I subscribe to the view that SP is a sensible way to get to know the game before one faces a human opponent.

So MP is like peeing on the bar table or something?
