So will the game include multiplayer?
Should a well educated civer already know this or are we just waiting for Firaxis response?

Well if anyone knows, tell us. Since it is gold, it cant be changed anyway, so why cant we know?

Although I don't play multiplayer much, I hope that Firaxis was trying to lower our expectations so they could surprise us by releasing civ3 with multiplayer..Comment

MP, or not MP- that is the question

What do you mean? Are you saying that the initial release of CivIII will include MP? And if so, where did you hear this?
Or are you just saying that eventually there will be a 'Gold' version that will include both?Comment

Although I will buy the XP anyway (if/when it comes out) they should really make MP a patch if it doesn't come with the game. Bundling it with an XP is a sneaky way to make money...and I think it would really damage some people's view (including mine) of Firaxis.

The only thing is: the marketing of the game isn't really in the hands of Sid or Firaxis. Infogrames is the publisher, and basically they say what is what. So though Sid may or may not agree with the marketing of an MP XP, it is really in Infogrames court to make the choice.Originally posted by orange

uhm
It would be very odd if they would not add MP to the initial release. Almost every game which now get released has MP capability.Beep...beep...beep.Comment

I think we won't see any MP in Civ III 1.0,
but we can always hope for that. Thumbs up and
fingers crossed!

Every game these days that has anything going for it has mp capabilities. They can either show us how backwards they are by not including it, or showing us that they are actually in the 21st century with the rest of us and include it.I see the world through bloodshot eyes

I can't see why they can't have at least basic MP options like Hotseat and PBeM. All they have to do is nick the code from SMAX. It would be very poor of Firaxis not to include MP at the start.'No room for human error, and really it's thousands of times safer than letting drivers do it.

Well pbem and hotseat are nice for some SITS, but when most say MP with civ, thats not what comes to mind.........I see the world through bloodshot eyes

No, all I am saying (again) is that they will release a Civ3 version with MP. Probably not this year but they will. As far as all games being released with MP, that is not true at all. There have been several games in the past 2 years that were initially designed to be MP or to have MP included but didn't. It is an entirely new beast to tame, esp. for a SP-centric game. It does sound like Firaxis will want to do this right instead of half-a$$ed. But the way many of you are impatiently whining, you would think that you don't want it done right.
