    SinglePlayer - MultiPlayer or in between ?

    PLEASE SUPPORT THIS BASIC POLL BY VOTING
    TO GIVE US ALL A VIEW OF THE MANY PLAYERS
    ORIENTATIONS HERE AT THE LARGEST CIV-SITE!



    Hi , my previous poll gave this interesting result when asking :

    Do You buy CIV3 in expectance of a MultiPlayer-patch ?

    Well , 42.86% would buy it with more or less expectancy
    just as 42.86% didn't care about MultiPlayer-games (!) and
    only a 14.29% would buy it anyway .... [details at bottom]
    Total: 35 votes 100%
    35 Votes is an extremely narrow representation of Apolyton
    and merely gives you a hint at tendencies here ! That's why
    I took the initiative to the poll above ... I was curious !!!

    Do you mean for Civ or for games in general? For example, I played Age of Kings almost MP exclusively, but it's possible I may never play a game of Civ3 MP at all.

      I was gonna create a poll like this earlier, but I thought it might be a bad idea with the recent tensions. Anyway, I'm all for SP but if someone made me play MP... I would...

        SORRY !

        I should have pointed out that it was about TurnBasedStrategy (TBS)
        CIV-games and that is for me including the disputed CTP1 & 2 and the
        SMAC-ers ! AOK is also Civilizations , but RealTimeStrategy (RTS) .

        I have made a typographical mistake in the poll ; I should have written :

        100% MULTI instead of !00% MULTI .............

          I voted 40% S, 60% M.

          The reason is because lately I have been really enjoying SMAC play-by-email much more than just single player. Single player does have its advantages in that you can just play anytime, and for as long as you want. But MP has people for opponents, which can be a lot of fun, but these games tends to move a LOT slower. The other thing about the MP games is the diplomacy and, if you are so inclined, the RolePlaying that we do sometimes.

          But I still enjoy both.

            CIV genre by design is not a good fit for MP IMO. At least CIVII MP is not ( On-line MP is just too time consuming, hotseat and PBEM lack good diplomat. How is SMAC? AT least it ships with MP. Is it better than CIV2 MP?

              Well, what I really want to say is people here play more SP only because CIV2 MP as implemeted is not good enough.

                If Firaxis makes an online-world sort of thing, that would be truly amazing...

                  I think it would be too. But I am being carefully skeptical about Firaxogrames devoting that much development and resources (servers) into such a thing. I for one am not anticipating any great revolution for CIV MP, but hopefully some new things and a very clean MP system.

                      60% Single player / 40% Multiplayer : I perfect things at Single Player and have a fun time at MP.

                      I really hope Firaxis' next update after the editor is about multiplayer.

                          90 SP, 10MP,

                          Every once and a while I play TB MP. But really, if I want to play MP, I put in Homeworld and see who's online. I simply don't have the time or the inclination to play a game that last 10hrs+ in MP.

                          I know some people really want to make a big deal out of no MP. But I couldn't care less.

                              I've already pre-ordered Civ 3, and i've played a few times in MP.

                              I really hope that the MP patch for Civ 3 cames out very short after Civ 3 because i'm a maniac for MP Civ games!!!

                              Everybody with me: WE WANT CIV 3 AS SOON AS CIV 3 CAMES OUT!!!!!!

                              (i'm getting crazy very quickly about this)
